Owner and Publisher Subscription Kates, One copy, one year $2.80 One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon April 9 1926 BILLION DOLLAR ROADS The biggest economic problem that confronts the United States today concerns the building and up-keep of good roads. It has been thrust upon them by the marvelous development of motor-vehicles (automobiles and motor-trucks) and the prodigious in crease in the number and use of these machines throughout the coun try in recent years. More than four and a quarter million automobiles and motor-trucks were produced in the United States in 1925; their to tal wholesale value amounted to about three billion dollars. The re gistered motor-vehicles in this coun try last year numbered about twenty million, which was more than four times as many as in all the rest of the world. We have three million miles of road, but less than one-sixth of the total has been "surfaced" with pave ment, crushed rock or even gravel, and much of the so-called "surfac ed" road is unsuitable in structure or material to withstand the wear and tear of the motor-vehicle travel to which it is subjected. We all know that the unsurfaced, "dirt" roads, as they are commonly called, range from fairly good for light tra vel with favorable weather condi tions, to abominable, and are well nigh, if not quite, impassable at cer tain seasons and in extremely bad weather. As a natural consequence of the situation the "good .roads" movement the ultimate aim of which is to have all public roods made suit able for motor-vehicle travel, has re ceived a tremendous impetus, and what has been accomplished in road improvement during the past few years is highly creditable and even astonishing in view of the cost and effort involved. Nevertheless there is persistent and growing popular clamor for speeding up the work. Therefore we are not surprised to learn that, based on recent surveys and estimates, it has been predicted that one and a quarter billion dol lars will be expended in 1926 for im proved road construction in the Uni ted States. A part of this will be contributed by the Federal Govern ment as its share of the cost of ex tending the National highways. Hut by far the greater part of this huge sum will be supplied by the States and their civic subdivisions, and ex pended for the construction, exten sion and improvement of State and county roads. p A RICH NATION The Department of Commerce esti mates that the wealth of the United States at around $;ir0,0i)0,000,00(), waking it the richest nation on earth. If this country is to con tinue as the world's leading nation, agriculture must be stabilized, says the State Market Agent. "Indus trialism is going ahead at record breaking pace, while agriculture is slipping back, and it seems to me that the country cannot long have general prosperity with two stand ards." Commenting on this situa tion the National Farm News of Washington. I). C. says: "Either the farmer must make a profit out of his toil or he must stop farming, ond when the day arrives for ceses sion, that hour will mark the de struction of all other nativities and the downfall of stable government." The Press feels oblidced to apolo gize for its cartoon seivii e during the past few weeks. Truth of the matter is that Netter has been back Fast where he either fell ia with weather conditions or fell asleep in cold storage. Anyway, his weather cartoons have not fit in with our cli matic conditions, to say the hast. o It's a long time since we had a candidate for representative in tlu field, but Glenn Dudley a stc-ru:;. young republican is carrying the banner trum Athena this camp.

March 1 the supply comprised 203, 000,000 bushels as compared with 221,000,000 bushels at the same time last year. o Three splendid Easter programs in Athena churches speaks well for local talent, and leads to the unani mous verdict that observance of the day was complete. o We are not speaking for other lo calities when we say that Athena ladies, heedless of the weather fore cast, had no occasion to protect their Easter hats with umbrellas. "We can't afford to buy choice roasts for Sunday dinner as we used to with the machine and all ," she said. And that fully explains it sat isfactorily, if not in detail. o The 1926 baseball fan is out of his shell and rarin' to go.

Historical Heroine Beatrice Cencl was the daughter of a Roman patrician. She was born In Rome February 12, 1577. Her father for many years abused his wife and family in the most cruel way and as a result the family procured his mur der. They were tried and sentenced to death. Beatrice was executed Sep tember 11, 1500. The circumstances of her life have long caused her to be con sidered a martyr and her history has been the theme of several poems. 22 Years Ago Ducks are running in second place as live receptacles for gold nuggets and lost diamonds; a $25,000 dia mond was recently found in the in nards ef a fish.

The saving of money is inborn with some people. They make every dollar perform its fullest duty. Others acquire the. ability to save money and it be comes a habit with them. Buying inferior goods because they are cheap is not thrift. It is wasteful because the service is cor respondingly short.
