One copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months i.uu One coov. three months 75 Athena, Oregon June 18 1926 'Southern Democrats in the Senate refused to support the McNary equalization fee bill to assist agricul ture on the Southern fundamental free trade ground that the bill woukT serve to make tariff protection a per manent policy of the government. Be ing a democrat ourselves, but living where the principal product of the soil is sold on a free market, and everything is purchased in a protect ed market, we naturally feel like tak ing a pot shot at our Southern breth ern for not lending a helping hand to alleviate our distress. Just how these esteemed colonels figure that grain production can not have a little of protection's lubrication along with their sugar and tobacco industry, for instance is beyond our ken. But in a measure we suppose their know ledge of grain marketing conditions have been narrowed down to one var iety corn and that when it va.; distilled in the red. The present eastbound rail rates on wool from Oregon points are around $2.70 per 100 pounds. Wool growers, contending that the rate its excessive filed a petition vith the in terstate commerce commission for joint rail and water rates on ship ments through the Panama Canal. Denial of the petition has been re commended by Howard C. Faul, the examiner.' Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles joined the railroads in opposing the joint rates ; on the ground that were they granted, the rates would tend to concentrate the wool business of the country at Bos ton and other Atlantic points, and check development of Pacific coast wool markets. o A banker puts it this way: "Much of the distress of many people in America today is due, not to the fact that they have not had an opportun ity to make and save money, but to that fact that they have lost their savings in frequent schemes of one kind or another. Many a widow is in financial difficulty not became she was left penniless by her hus band but because she lost her inheri tance by investing it in "gold bricks." Many a bank depositor who once carried a fine balance is penniless to day not because he did not know how to save but because he did not know how to invest." in May, than for the same month last year, in face of a remarkable growing season and early spring, the state market agent advises elimina tion of middle-handling expenses and more direct transportation. The Hood River American Legion Post invites everybody to come to Hood River on July 4th and spend the day in a pleasant walk over the summit of Mt. Hood. No doubt the Legion boys will show their visitors a good time of course they will but we know of n certain editor who once failed in his attempt to top that lofty kopje, and of another editor who if he ever camps on Hood's glacial dome, he will step from the cockpit of an air plane, o Canada will pull the double out of the cross which ha long been carried on by Dominion fruit jobbers who have also been operating brokerage firms, which means that the fruit growers have been filched right along by a double commission process. At their next session, Canadian law makers have promised a dose of leg islation that will place the fruit busi ness on the sotiare.. "Meet you at Sherrys." And you had to wear a silk hat when you said it. By comparison, that was the status of New York's internationally known restauinnt at Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. The boni face who made it so, passed on last week. Louis Sherry capitalized his splendid Gotham enterprise in the beginning at $1"00 and it did not stop in value at that many millions. o "Ma" and "Pa" Stribling do not tare for New York since Berlenbaeh gave their son Billy a decisive lick ing" in thirteen rounds of a 15-round match for the light heavy weight championship, the other night. But "Ma" and "Pa" should cheer up in face of the fact that William "staid" the fifteen rounds, o On the fact of results growing out of the Pennsylvania primaries, it is evidently worth something to bo a United States Senator from that state counting over a million dollars campaign expenses, to say nothing of the trivial matter of stealing 20,000 votes from one of three senatorial candidates, all republicans. "France Facing Cabinet Crisis," reads a headline. Well, frankly, isn't that better than France facing a franc decline? o After calling attention to the fact that 102 fewer carloads of fruits and vegetables wer handled at Portland The published comparison in num ber of arrests made by director of public safety Elliott in the city of Philadcphia, with the number , made by General Butler covering a five month period, reveals that Elliott has raided 1,748 more saloons in the Quaker city than did Butler, o Not only has Cecile Sorel, famous French actress, acquired the distinc tion marrying a real count, but she possesses a marble dining table, a gold dinner service and flashes the largest emerald in the world. Happy Sorel! Seven-headed wheat and devices for extracting gold from sands, have long worked overtime for fake pro motors, who more than just once in a while separate a sucker from his shekels. Baseball leagues are not alone in the occasional ruction raised by some cantankerous member. Brazil has got her back up and wants to quit the league of nations, because she does not like the game. o Red Oakley, a Mill City miner, broke his leg and finally dragged himself to his cabin. That was an accident. Red Oakley rigged up a splint and successfully set the fract ured bone. That was nerve. Gee, there must be lots of room for farming in Canada from what we read of lords, dukes and dux monkeying around with ranching as a pastime, up there. CHILDREN'S DAY PROGRAM GIVEN AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH A most interesting program was the feature of the observance of "Children's Day" at the Christian church Sunday night.

FORMER ATHENAIANS PICNIC In a letter received from Mrs. Fred Rosenzweig of Lamont, Washington, a very interesting itei is gleaned, describing a recent gathering of former Umatilla county people, in what is now an organized annual event.
