:.N INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER F. B. BOYD. Owner and Publisher Hubcrintlon Rates. Cne copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon April 16 192G LAW ENFORCEMENT John It. McQuigf, National Com mander of the American Legion, soys: "Last year there were, we are told, more than 11,000 murders com mitted in America. That is fourteen times as many as in Great Britain; eleven times as many as in Japan and five times as many as in Canada. That condition should chal lenge the careful thought of all of us. "Here is the fact of the matter. During the last several years there has been a letting down in the mor ale of the American people. Our courts and juries are letting too many criminals escape the conse quences of their acts. Today law abiding citizens are less secure in their persons and effects than years ago. "If, as we are informed, ninety-five per cent of the people want and strive to obey the law, then the tre mendous cost of our criminal courts and penitentiaries and jails and re form institutions is made necessary by five per cent of the population. "This five per cent consists of men and women who choose crime as a career merely for the love of ini quity and of those who, for lack of proper homes and proper home in fluences, are forced into paths lead ing eventually to criminal deeds. "Legionnaires are extremely in terested in this matter. I think it cannot be too often stressed. 'We obeyed the laws and regulations when such obedience was necessary to win the battles of war. We pro pose now, insofar as in our power lies, to assist in seeing to it that those laws are obeyed which are nec essary to win the battles of peace." o Henry Ford says the farmer ptiy.i the highest and receives the Jowe.it in every transaction he engages in. "Help for all other kinds is politi cal," he says. "Who used rate-fixing to help the railroads? The govern ment. Who fixes tariffs for the steel and sugar men ? The govern ment. But the fai'mer is forced to live among a lot of businesses which are raised to an artificial level by government protection or profit-fix ing. And the farmer wants to know why his level cannot be artificially raised, too ." o Farmers of Eastern Oregon are coming alive to the advantages of bulk wheat handling, says State Market Agent Spence, and he thinks it is but a matter of short time when nil of the wheat into Portland will be handled this way. Ninety-six per cent of the wheat exported from Portland goes out in bulk, while half of that coming in from lite country is in sacks. The unloading of sacked wheat from cars involves twvlv3 times the labor and three times the cost of unloading bulk wheat. o The warty-faced, cauliflower-ear tough has been displaced in scientific crime exploits by the jazz prince, new type of desperado, product of the times. The li2l! model stick-up man poses as a cavalier, dances well and spends freely. Invariably the in formation police obtain after the present day holdup is "the bandits were youthful and well dressed." Behind that description lies the identity of a new type of criminal; the "sheik bandit" some call him. o Sportsmen shooting game birds during the hunting season are re quested by the Biological Survey of the United Stntes Department of Ag riculture to examine all birds care fully for leg bands at the time shot It will greatly aid the investigations being made by means of banded birds if bands are returned to the depart ment with accurate particulars re gnrding the exact spot where found, and any other pertinent information. With the bases filled with both re publican and democratic legislative candidates for the coming primary (lection, it looks as though an old fashioned campaign was on the tap is. It was aeons ago that Umatilla county was accustomed to putting two full legislative tickets in the field. o The Press takes more stock in Ike Potterson that any candidate seeking the republican primary nomination for governor. There are no frills to Ike. No badges decorate him, and brass band music scares him to death; that's the way he appealed to us, when be called at our shop the other day. It was Theodore Boosevelt who F.Bid, "And now, first and foremost, you can never afford to forget for one moment what is the object of our forest policy. That object is not jto preserve the forest, because they are beautiful, though that is good in itself, nor because they are re fuges for the wild creatures of the wilderness, though that, too, is good in 'itself; but the primary object of our forest policy, as of the land pol icy of the United States, is the mak ing of prosperous homes." o When next you read a book in which the author makes the hair of one of the characters "stand on end with terror," don't pass judgment on the expression as being a convenient but not-to-be-taken-literal'y way of describing the effect of fright. Our hair can, and does, "stand on end." o The destruction of about 3,000,000 prairie dogs and other rodents in northern Arizona in the course of a recent poisoning campaign by the Biological Survey should attract the attention of the Hermiston district. Turn the Survey loose on the bunnies and then watch the alfalfa grow. Parisians have robbed the veldt to satiate vainglorious style zebra striped black and white slippers have made their appearance on French boulevards. We have only to wait a short .time for the arrival of the zebra stocking. Luther Burbank, plant wizard, is dead.

Every Man a Geniu$ Doctor Spearman, who has taken many "ability tests" tells the British Association for the Advancement of Sck-nce, that every man Is a genius at something and a dunce at something flse. He believes the habitually un employed and the misfits In Industry could every one of them do something that would make him a treasure, If we only knew what It was. It is up to science to find a means of puttins round pegs, Instead of square ones. Into round holes. Capper's Weekly. Many Famous Persona Had Defective Hearing The customary callosity of authors to the afflictions of the deaf, was re ferred to In a lecture on "Deafness in Literature," recently delivered in Lon don by Dr. Macleod Yearsley, a prom inent consulting aurist Doctor Years ley said It was curious that one of the greatest of human afflictions should often be dealt with so unsympathetlcal ly by authors. English llteratut teemed with pathetic blind characters, but deaf people were seldom mentioned except In a casual way and as a sub ject for humor. As a matter of fact, the deaf mute was a far greater suf ferer than the sightless person. The only great British authors who made serious and successful attempts to rep resent the case of- the deaf were Sir Walter Scott, Thackeray and Dickens. Speaking of authors who themselves suffered from deafness, the speaker mentioned Doctor Johnson, Harriet Martineau, Bousseau and Martin Luther. The last named, he said, was wont to ascribe the incessant head noises by which he was afflicted to the machinations of the devil. It would seem, therefore, that a competent aural surgeon, had he been available, would have been able to solve some of the greatest religious difficulties of the time. Exchange.
