Or.e copy, one year $2-00 One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon July 9 1926 FIRST AID PAYS DIVIDENDS The Manufacturer Magazine says that not one business establishment out of ten, with several employes or employers at work, has an adequate first-aid kit, or a knowledge of how to use it if it were there. First-aid does not mean surgical or hospital equipment or medical skill for linal treatment of severe, cases; it means only the quick, easy remedies and methods for minor accidents, or pal liatives or preliminary treatment for the more serious cases that the hos pital must finish. Compensation insurance figures show that the ratio of major to min or injuries is only about one to 20; but that infection that might have been avoided by good first-aid treat ment, is responsible for practically one-half of all injuries paid for un der compensation. In brbf, minor injuries taht should have been cured with the preliminary first-aid treat ment, make up one-half of all the compensation losses. Ignorance and disregard double the cost of compen sation; they double also the load ot suffering and impaired earning abil ity that uncompensated industry must carry. Three great industries that have faithfully followed first-aid treat ment, report that with more than 12,000 eases in three years, there has been not one case of infection, that for industry at large causes one-half of all hospital and compensation and. loss cases. ' ; O Where is the old-time hobo? asks the Walla Walla Union. Montana answers that he is still with us, loaf ing in tourist camps. He jolts from one to another in his battered car and sometimes he begs and some times he steals, but always he is a menace. Montana admits, however,1 that there are a number of lazy and impecunious Montanans camping in the parks of other states, but does think that it has a' larger proportion of this ilk now roosting within its borders than it deserves. Montana has several score of free auto camps which are simply inducements to the visitors to come and stay as long as they wish. States which have camps where charges are made are not bothered so much, that is, openly. A pay camp with a caretaker seems to be a solution, though, of course, it will not stop these individuals who sponge their way. They will keep on sponging. It is no use to lock them up, for the communities simply feed them. It is a problem with no easy solution in sight. o- Having long been a resident of Chicago, where local option perhap3 never prevailed prior to the usher ing jn of the Eighteenth amendment and the enactment of the Volstead aim to assume a station and attitude which will preserve us from being overwhelmed in their ruins. The Constitution is a guide which I never can abandon. The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, en tangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rival ship, interest, humor or caprice? Though the government is deeply in debt, the nation is rich, and their riches afford a fend which will not be easily exhausted. It will not be doubted that, with reference either to Individuals or na tional welfare, agriculture is of pri mary importance. It should be the policy of United America to administrator to the wants of other nations, without be ing engaged in their quarrels. Promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the gen eral diffusion of knowledge. The power tinder the Constitution will always be in the people. The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. In every act of my administration I have sought the happiness of my fellow-citizens. , . Against the insidious wiles of for eign influence, the jealousy of a Lee people ought to be constantly awake. There is nothing so likely to pro duce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy. HARVEST WAGES There is little if any variation in harvest wages in the Walla Walla valley than prevailed last year, as will be seen in the following sched ule: Combine driver; 27 head of horses, $6.00; 33 head of horses $7.00; Separator man, combine, $10.00; stationary $8.00; Header tender, $4.00; Sack sewer, $5.00; Jig (combine) $4.00; Steam engineer, $7.00; Box driver, $2.50; Tank driv er, $3.00; Roustabout $4.00; Head puncher, $6.00; Loaders, $5.00; Hoe down $4.00; Water buck $4.00; Cook, combine crew $2.50; one header $3.00; two headers $6.00. FOUR BARRELS OF WINE Four fifty gallon barrels of. wine were discovered by deputies from the Walla Walla sheriff's office Thursday night. The wine was found at the head of Blacksnake hill, hid den under some brush. Most of the wine was poured out, but portions of two barrels were brought to the office.

Hall president elect of the University of Oregon, to get off "on the wrong foot" in his speech-making at Des Moines. Dr. Hall qualifies his statements, which he claims were misinterpreted by news agencies, by explaining that he did not nttack the 18th amendment as a national scandal, but referred to the failure of enforcing prohibition as n scandal. Oregon having tried local option and state-wide , prohibi tion .before entering the throes of national prohibition, the new presid ent of its leading educational insti tution advances nothing new to us in his advocacy of "local option first, and through local option the achieve ment of state-wide prohibition," fov we have bctm through nil of 'em o The danger' from most "overhaul ing" schemes, is that new methods of taxation are devised without remov ing old tax burdens.
