iN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPEit F. B. BOYD, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates. One copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon March 12 1926 HOME OWNERSHIP The San Francisco Chronicle be lieves that the homes of the world are what the work of the world is done for. To build them and keep them is the first concern of a stable civilization. So essential to happi ness are homes that many European countries have made their construe tion a public utility. Ihere is no such need of paternalism here, where ' a liberty-loving people will provide iits own homes without government subsidy. A new spirit is born of ownership There is dignity in a permanent set tlement. It was the hand on the plow that made America great. What was owned was worth fighting for. In an industrial age, with population massed in cities, that proprietorship which steadied the farmer must be transferred to ownership of homes Home ownership means better cit izenship. The family that the land lord is apt to discriminate against is encouraged in the home. In good home districts there is a dearth of juvenile delinquency. Anything that enhances the dignity of man en hances his character. The proper time to begin to think about buying your own home is right now. o HALF CENTURY PROGRESS The first telephone message was sent in 1876, 50 years ago. So great hns been the growth of the system that now in 1926, 67,700,000 tele phone conversations take place each day. The two telephones of 1876 have increased to 16,000,000 instru ments today. The first telephone line of 30 feet has grown to a network of more than 40 million miles of , wire; and switchboards, buildings, pole lines, cublos, conduits, and oth er forms of plant have been con structed, costing over $2,500,000,000. As President W. S. Gifford, of the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, recently said, "The advances which have been made dur ing the fisrt 50 years of the work of the Bell System are unparalleled in the history of communication. They are contributions which will make forever memorable this great epocn in our progress, we are now at the beginning of a new era filled with boundless opportunities for ad vancement in the business and science of telephony. Upon the foun dations that have been so securely laid, we can look forward to the telephone system of the future, which in effectiveness and useful service, will surpass all that has gone Del ore." al prices there. Speculators are be ginning to study the condition and amount of the present winter wheat crop. There is a very slight de crease in the acreage planted to winter wheat in the northern hemis phere. There will probably be a bigger carry-over thi8 year than last. In Oregon, there is usually little tendency among dealers to car ry over, as it is usually good ware house practice for the dealers to own as little as possible of wheat on March 1, the time of assessment of taxes.

Now the barbers at Rellingham are at it. The Social Side BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. Henry Dell was hostess Fri day afternoon when she entertained the Athena bridge club. Clusters of yellow tulips and jonquils, violets and pussy willows lent a spring-like atmosphere to the affair. Three tables were in play, Mrs. Frank Ames winning high score and Mrs. Fred Kershaw the consolation. The hostess served a dainty collation at the tea hour.

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION Total number of forest fires show ed a considerable decline last year, leading to the assumption, that at last the campaign of educating the public to reasonable rare against lire is beginning to bear fruit. For example, the acreage burned over in national forests in California was only about one-eighth of the area of last year and cost of fire fighting was only about one-tenth. This is more remarkable because there was an increase in number of fires from spontaneous conbustinn and other natural and unavoidable causes. The 1925 report sets a good ex ample for this year and if the need for constant vigilance is kept in the public mind we may succeed in still further reducing destruction of our forests through heedless handling of fire. PLAIN TAX STATEMENTS In discussing the necessity for businesslike and reasonable taxation laws, the Philadelphia Public Ledger As government developed tho de magogue appeared and the improvi dent began to hate the provident. There were demands that the rich should divide with the poor, that the thrifty should give up his sav ings to the unthrifty. The demag ogue docs not care that the destruc tion of wealth reacts upon the very pour whose comfort his heart bleeds. National prosperity is fostered by fostering the prosperity of the in dividual. And the very weaklings who want to penalize wealth are benetited by the overflow of that prosperity which they would check by ill-considered taxes." o The wheat market continues un certain as the world grew more cere al in 11125 than in 192-i. European production, outside of Russia, has returned to pre war average. Rus sia produced about 1500,000,000 bush els more than for 1924. This means n total for the world of about 560, 000,000 bushels more than last year.

The Nervous System The human nervous system Is really n living telegraph line made up of elec trical condensers, thinks lr. W. It, Whitney of the livnorut Electric Co., according to Science. This Idea Is sharply disputed by scientists, who say that nerve messages do not travel nt the speed of electricity, but Doctor Whitney demonstrated with condenser apparatus that the transit time of a message can be slowed down even to three seconds, a time much longer than the known nerve reaction time of a human being.
