ATHENA. UMATILLA COUNTY. OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1918.
NUMBER 48
ROLL GALL Of
RED GROSS NEAR
The annual renewal of membership
to the Red Gross and the securing of
new members is at hand. The follow
ing appeal is made by the Chairman of
the Christmas Roll Call Committee.
"To the Citizens of Umatilla County:
"The Christmas Roll Call of the Red
Cross opens on the 18th of December.
This signifies renewal of membership
on the part of those already enrolled,
and the joining of the organization by
those not now enjoying the privilege.
This county has an approximate pop
ulation of 36,000. Half that number
ought to be within the membership of
this mightiest of all world instrumen
talities of mercy. The cost is one
dollar. There are few indeed who can
not afford that sum to aid in the stu
pendous labor to which a prostrate Eu
rope beckons America.
"As Chairman of the Roll Call Com
mittee, I appeal now for open pocket
books, for alert public sentiment, for
unselfish devotion, for the immediate
setting aside of a dollar, and for its
dedication in the name of charity to
humanity's need. Europe, Asia, Af
rica, all are calling. The American
Red Cross must be the vehicle of re
sponse. We shall heed the cry of
suffering not only among the nations
hitherto our allies, but among the
nations hitherto our foes. Peace is im
minent now, and there must be no line
of demarkation.
"In the shadow of suffering every
where, everywhere throughout the
globe, in the name of compassion, in
the name of Christian Charity, I ap
peal to each to lend a hand now, for
the need of the nations is greater than
ever before. Membership in the Red
Cross is a badge alike of service and
of honor. Respectfully,
"Stephen A. Lowell, Chairman
Christmas Roll Call Committee."
SOUGHT ONLY BY FISHERMEN
Rock Point, Md., Differs in Many '
Ways From the Conventionalized
"Summer Resort."
Little white wooden bouses In a
broken row, like an old man's teeth-;
behind them a fat green Maryland
farm country of broad-leaved tobacco
fields and yellow wheat and deeply
shadowed woods; before them, a river
seven miles wide of almost tropical
I green and blue, with a wooded Island
in the foreground shading the water
with great sycamore and crowned by a
pine grove, where nest the ospreys that
hover all day long over the water,
plunging like living javelins, now and
then, to snatch fish of dazzling silver
from a river of polished jade.
Such, lmpresslonlstlcally, Is Rock
Point, Md., where all summer long
many Washlngtonlans go to catch fish.
The place Is not at all fashionable;
there Is no hotel worthy of the name,
and the prices of everything are alto
gether too low to attract the "best peo
ple." Even the fact that at least one cabi
net officer, a senator or two and sev
eral congressmen go regularly to Rock
Point does not seem to add to Its dig
nity or to endow It with the rank of a
real summer resort. Somehow even a
senator loses his value as a social or
nament when he puts on a pair of
overalls and yells and gets excited over
a four-pound sea trout
The great majority of those who go
to Rock Point are simply anglers
whatever else they may be at home,
here they are but members of the great
fraternity of fishermen. Bankers and
plumbers often "chip in" on the same
motorboat and borrow tobacco from
each other.
Women are fewer than men, but
never lacking, and they are always
hearty, sunburned women of the kind
that get their hair wet when they go
in swimming and don't pretend to be
afraid of a fish.

Mr. and Mrs. Winship have received
a letter from their son Dick, from
whom they hsd not heard for several
months, and the contents explain that
he has been in the thick of it. The
letter follows:
"Oct H, 18.
"Dear Father and all: I received
your letters some time ago. Have been
at the front all of the time since and
had no chance to send a letter, don't

HAWK DESTRUCTIVE TO TREE
Birds' Unvarying Diet of Fish Sooner
or Later Causes Death Through
Accumulations of Grease.
Random bits of curious knowledge
often come the way of persons- who
live in the summer time close by the
ocean's edge. One gets to know, for
Instance, such things ns why hawk
nests so often are seen In dead trees.
It is not that the hawk, In seeking
a home site, by choice picks a dead
tree in which to build its jest of twigs
and things; on the contrary, It Inva
riably selects a live one. 1 The dead
tree Is the effect, not the cause of the
hawk's preference.
Hawks of the kind considered here
live exclusively on fish. Fish are
oily, and so It follows that after
few thousand have been dissected and
eaten in a nest the tree Inhabited by
a hawk family becomes discouraged
and abandons the struggle.
After hawks have used a lofty
bough as a dining room for two or
three years a tree becomes so greasy
that leaves find It Impossible to hold
on. The oil slowly makes Its way to
the roots, covering them and making
the absorbing of water from the earth
out of the question. Deprived of oxy
gen, having no leaves through which
to breathe It In, and of water, because
Its roots are greased like a Labor day
pig, the tree gets discouraged and
gives up the fight.
fragments have been "uncovered from
time to time, and the last piece was
picked up In 1014. The vase is said to
have a value of $85,000 to $100,000.
Ship's Coins.
A superstition among seafaring men
Is that n coin should be placed be
neath the mainmast of n newly built
ship. The coin should be of gold,
though In a pinch silver will do. The
coin should bear the date of the year
the ship is built and before being placed
beneath the mast It is carefully wrap
per In cotton. Its resting place is the
stepping of the mainmast.
Dealers In coins are aware of this
long-continued practice, nnd the re
sult Is that when an old ship Is bro
ken up, especially abroad, there Is al
ways on hand a company of coin deal
ers desirous of obtaining the coin. It
Is said that in this way one collector
obtained a specimen of the rare Ameri
can dollar of the mintage of 1804,
which has commanded a high premium
for many years.

A pretty story Is told by some his
torians of Napoleon's entrance Into a
French cathedral city In the days when
his eagles were taking their most glori
ous flights and Europe was at bis feet
It happened that the cathedral win
dows were, some of them, decorated
with the design of the fleur-de-lis.
Eager partisans had covered up these
windows so that the lilies would not
be seen.
The emperor, sharp of eye as ever,
inquired the reason for the obscura
tion of the windows,
"They bear the fleur-de-lis design
and there is no time to change It," ex
plained some one. "So we covered It
np, fearing It might offend your maj
esty." "The lilies of France," said Napo
leon, "hare led her sons to victory
through many wars. Surely every son

Sends Christmas Presents.
Athena boys who are "Over There"
will receive Christmas presents from
Mrs. A. A. Foss which will bring them
some closer to the old home town. She
has mailed to each one of the boys pic

streets when the armistice was signed
and also of the "dress rehearsal on
the 1th. Thus the lads will glean some
idea of the enthusiasm uncorked here
during the jubilee, and recognize fa

German Officer Said to Lose Commis
sion if He Should Be Parted From
Weapon by Force.
Officers in Germany are supposed to
have a feeling almost of sacredness
about their swords, and I think, in
point of fact, officers In most countries
have. I have been told that If any
officer loses his sword by force he
loses his commission as an officer. I
do not vouch for this statement.
I was told about the penalty for
losing a sword many years before the
war, in Dresden, to excuse an officer
whom I saw behave in the most bru
tal manner. He was on the back plat
form of an old-fashioned street car
which was going very fast. Some man
in the street ran and tried to Jump on
the car, and In taking hold of the rail
got hold of the handle of the officer's
sword. Without the slightest feeling
as to whether the man would be seri
ously hurt or not, the officer beat and
pounded this man's hands until he was
forced to let go and drop Into the
street. But what a German officer does
Is always considered right, anyway,
and no one dares to complain. Neville

Some Few Places on Earth's Surface
That Would Seem Ideal Spots
in Which to Locate.
In these days of expensive living
what a boon to live In a city without
taxes ! But there are such places.
There is Orson in Sweden. This
municipality has its ordinary city ex
penses, but it Imposes no taxes. More
over, the local railway Is free to every
citizen nnd there Is no charge for tele
phone service, schools, libraries and
the like.
All this Is due to the wisdom of a
former generation, who plnnted trees
on nil the available ground, with the
result that during the past thirty
years the town authorities have sold
$5,000,000 worth of young trees and
timber, while judicious replantlngs
have provided for a similar Income in
the future.
Then there Is Mourmalon, in the
Midi, France. Here not only are there
no taxes, but the timbers on the com
munal lands are sufficient to grant
each person a small annuity.
Nearer home we have the Island of
Innishmurrny, off the west coast of
Ireland. Here there are no taxes, sim
ply because the fourteen families who
live on the island resolutely refuse to
pay. In n report to the locnl govern

he could not get a boat on the main

Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory of
Great Soldier's Early Wonderful
Successes in the Field.
The military genius of Bonnporte Is
still a fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name a
terror to Europe, and gained for him
a prestige which a series of continu
ous nnd overwhelming defeats In the
latter pnrt of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
nnd the victories of Mnrengn, Auster
lltz and Wngram can scarcely be ad
mitted in compensation for the blun
ders of the Rtisslnn campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo.
One qualification of a great general
was conspicuous In his character, the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit In whatever position it might be
found. Favoritism was almost un
known In his army. He was of a cold
blooded temperament, engrossed ex
clusively by the master-passion, ambi
tion, nnd the very cause which kept
his moral purity Inviolate made him
almost Insensible to the promptings of
love and affection.

Tecumseh's Bones Unearthed.
A discovery recalling early Canad
ian history tins been made at a farm
in the village of Thamesvillc, Ont.,
where bones were dug up which may
be those of the Indian Chief Tecum
seh, who fell fighting for the British
In 1813. With the skeleton were metnl
military buttons nnd a pistol of the
type then used. There are most trust
worthy reports that the chief had been
burled close to this place,
Tecumseli, u Shawnee chief, fought
with the Briilsh during the Invasion of
f.'unnda by the Americans In 1812 nnd
1813. A man of great energy nnd de
cision, he was entrusted with many
minor enterprises, and was finally
killed In battle, when his body was
treated with great Indignity.
Human "Fish" No Match for Angler.
Fishing a man was the novel feat
performed by a man at Avnlon, Cali
fornia, a few duys ago. Captain Adar
go, a powerful swimmer, played the
part of the fish, while Captain West
brook took the part of the angler. The
"fish" was given one hundred and fifty
feet of line at the start and quickly
gained thirty feet. Then the angler
felt that he was ready to begin tactics
to "subdue" the "fish," and telling
about It afterward, Captain Adnrgo
said: "Then I wns pulled bnckward
nnd couldn't make any headway
against the outfit, I hnve gone Into
nv.me heavy swells ns a professional
swimmer and coin diver, but the fish
ing stuff has got them all beat for tak
ing the energy out of a man. Every
time Westbrook came bock on the rod
It almost lifted me out of the water."
In fifteen minutes Captain Westbrook
regained the one hundred and eighty
feet of line. He "fished" with his usu
al tackle. A broken line would hnve
won the contest for the fish.
Account of Destruction In England II
1687 Seems Almost Incredible
Horses Felled at the Plow. , ' yj
The greatest hailstorm that ever oc
curred In England was that of April
29, 1697, recorded by Edmund Halley,
the astronomer. The story seems al
most Incredible, yet It is told by s
philosopher, the contemporary and
friend of Isaac Newton, nnd an ac
curate observer of natural phenom
ena. The main body of the storm, he
states, fell upon Lancashire, In s
right line from Ormsklrk.to Blackburn.
"The breadth of the cloud was
about two miles, within which com
pass It did Incredible damage, killing
all sorts of fowl and small creatures,
and source leaving any whole panes
lp hny of the windows where it passed,
but, which Is worse, it cut off the
blade of the green corn so ns utterly
to destroy it, the hailstones burying
themselves In the ground; and the
bowling-greens, where the earth was
anything soft, were quite defaced, so
as to be rendered unserviceable for d
time. This I had from an eye
witness. "The hailstones, some of which
weighed five ounces, were of different
forms. Two hailstones were weighed
at Ormsklrk which came to three
quarters of n pound ench. As a young
woman nt Bootle was running for
shelter her hat fell off, and a hailstone
that lilt her behind the ear made her
tumble. The stones rebounded, ninny
of them two yards high. At Ince two
horses were knocked down at the
plow, and a man fell at the same
time."
MADE SACRIFICE OF RULERS
Dynamic of Friendship.
It Ir not n mnrk of weakness, but
n natural and normal instinct to
crave the love of one's fellows. We
must all of us have our friendships,
for we are socially constituted. "One
man Is no man." Every man needs
to be constantly refreshed and in
spired by contact with the associates
of the Intellectual life, the comrades
of the spirit, nnd should always keep
on hand some real friends, as dis
tinguished from mere chance ac
quaintances. There must be at least
one In a hundred of the people we
meet who Is fitted to be our brother.
When found, such n helpmate In In
tellectual things becomes a dynamic
force for blessing In our lives. It Is
easier to be good when such a friend
Is with us nor Is such a helper ever
really absent. We should locate our
friends, Identify our affinities, and
then love them as wo do ourselves,
so realizing the full blessedness of
human brotherhood.
Somewhat Remarkable Form of Lim
ited Monarchy Was That Practiced
by Tribe of the Caucasus.
"At n oertuin stage of social evolu
tion," says Sir James Frazer la his
article entitled "The Killing of the
Khnzar Kings," "not a few races ap
peur to have been In the habit of put
ting their kings to death, either at
the end of a fixed term, or on the
failure of tho king's health and
strength, or simply whenever n great
public calamity, such as drought or
famine had befallen the country."
Among tribes which have practiced
this remarkable form of limited mon
i archy niiiHt be included the Khazars
or Khozars. For somo nine hundred
years this now almost forgotten tribe,
from their home In the spurs of the
Caucasus and along the western shore
of the Caspian called after them the
Sen of the Khazars played a great
part In history on the European-Asian
borderland. It Is certainly remark
able that a people which had reached
such a high level of civilization nnd
culture should have practiced legalized
reirlclde. But the evidence collected,
by Sir James Frazer from a very wide
survey of medieval literature leaves
no doubt on the matter.
"Are tliere any historic ruins about
here!" asked tho visitor.
"Well," replied the proprietor of
Jlggsvllle's leading hotel, "it's true w
haven't got any historic ruins in the
wny of tumbled down buildings, monu
ments an' things like that, but I
might point out to you old Judge
Hicksbee, who's been defeated four
times Jot the Cnttol States, seaute."-
