One copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months f 1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon January 8 1926 Canada is as much interested in freeing its grains from weed seeds as is the United States. The Alber ta Department of Agriculture has perfected a machine which grain men declare is the greatest step for ward yet taken in the control of weeds on farms and the reduction of dockage. The machine is attached to the top of the separator and cleans the grain of weed seed3 and small grain before it goes to the bin or wagon. In a recent demon stration the machine reduced the wheat dockage to less than one per cent from the usual run of from live to eight per cent. This means the saving in dockage alone of from six to fourteen cents per bushel, ac cording to grade. In addition to this is the big saving on freight charges on the dockage, the value of weed seeds as feed on the farm and the prevention of weed spreading. The agricultural department will direct the marketing of the machine and make it easy for threshers to purchase. The average human expects a sweet and pleasant "Number please" from the telephone operator on all occasions so pleasant in fact that it transmits over the wire, the smile with which one expects to be greeted at the central office. This good will is a policy of the company, and is almost universally practiced by the operators, so that the general pub lic has fallen into the habit of ex pecting it. Aside from the conven ience of the telephone, and the ser vice rendered, it would really be, in a measure returning some of the good will received and encouraging the smiles of at least the manager of our local office, if customers would note the statements sent out, and try to get their checks in on time. "Service with a smile" should be rewarded by prompt payment of the telephone bill anyway. o If the modern American boy goes wrong, it is because the modern American home does not hold the at traction that it should. Idle hands and idle minds are encouraged by the parent who "spoils his child." With definite chores to be done with a suitable and desirable reward in store, a boy does not have time to seek evil companions. With good books, attractive games, a worktable and tools and nails, and a little studying now and then will do fiiuch to build up mind and body in the way they should grow. Perhaps Frank H. Simmonds made the greatest record as a war corres pondent, and his sagacity during the World War won wide attention. He looks upon the opening of the second quarter of the century as beginning a New Era, and says, "The Dawes plan and the Security Pact of Loc arno are the two landmarks in the re storation of Europe to sanity." The Locarno agreement is not a settle ment of anything, but it is a sign of the return to this sanity which is necessary if we are to have peace. O ' Those sun spots that were going to wreak such vengeance in the way of a hard winter, are so far ineffective. With Oregon peaks basking in a summer sun, and wheat growing apuce, why migrate to ye sunny south. Of course Old Boreas may be lurking around the corner, but lets be good fellows while we may." o Soon Easterners and even those unfortunate ones residing in the mid dle west will mnke Oregon the goal of their winter itinerary. o THE SCISSORS ROUTE (Clipped From Exchanges) Still, if a law satisfied everybody, there wouldn't be any need of the law.
