EASTERN OREGON NORMAL
We, west of the Cascades, are be
ing brought more nearly into touch
with our eastern Oregon neighbors
daily. Their interests are becoming
ours; ours have long been theirs. In
all lines of human activity industry,
finance, commerce, education our
interests should be united. In educa
tional matters we have given too
little recognition to the requirements
of the great counties lying east of
the Cascades. We in the Willamette
and other western valleys have the
universities, colleges and normal
schools.
The bill authorizing establishment
of a normal school in eastern Ore
gon, outlined in the voter's pamphlet,
comes up for decision in November.
It should have cordial support. The
present normal schools are at Mon
mouth and Ashland. The old normal
at Drain was discontinued and the
present Ashland school is attracting
large numbers of students. This,
however, does not afford convenience
of access to those who live in Eastern
Oregon. They are now obliged to
come to one of the western normals
for training, and many of them can
not afford it.
Herbert Hoover visualizes the great
future of the Columbia basin. Pro
vision must be made for the increas
ing demand in an educational way.
It is not too much to expect in fu
ture several institutions of higher
learning placed in favorable positions
in the counties of Oregon'1) inland
empire. Hut the present need of a
normal for the people east of the
Cascades is so vital, so firmly predi
cated on their rights and on economic
b:isis that the measui'e proposed
should have a large inajority for
passage.
Elevation cf the i.iU4ileclual stand

ment of natural reaouccs. In the
picture of the future, eastern Oregon
Stands in prominent vliw. Poitland
and western Oregon have been accus

WHAT IT MEANS TO ATHENA
The success of a small town com
munity depends largely on the suc
cess of its schools. (live it a go(d
school and empty houses are few,
indicating that the community is a
good one in which to live. Mediocre
school facilities will depopulate ti
town sooner or later, and once reach
ing low standard of efficiency it re
quires time to upbuild the school, to
say nothing of irreparable educa
tional loss and injury to the pupil
necessarily declining with the school.
The purpose of this editorial is .to
Set forth the splendid status of the
Athena High school. It's high uuik
ing record in number of students go
ing out after graduation to institu
tions of higher education for the
present year, is the index of its
achievement, and here is the index.

The University of Oregon reads the
handwriting on the wall and ascends
to a practical basis as an institution
fi'V study and higher education.
Pointing out that automobiles
brought to college by University
students are a cause of poor scholar
snip and increase the danger of mor
al delinquency, University authorities
have appealed to parents to prolvbit
theii' sons and daughters from bring
ing cars to Eugene. "The increasing
i-e of autotncbiles by University stu
ii nts lias been observed with much
concern by University offiicals every
where," a letter sent to parents read.
"Careful studies have shown that
they cause poor scholarship, arc ex
pensive, waste valuable time, increase
the danger of moral delinquency, and
cause traffic congestion about the
ccmpus; that at best they are unde
sirable and unnecessary at college,
and that they are often positively demoralizing."
tion. Industry in France is heavily
taxed. Eighty per cent of the popu
lation pays hardly any taxes at all.
The total taxes of farmers are negli
gible as compared with those of
American farmers. Professional men
escape taxation by flagrant mis
statements and little or no effort is
made to ferret out or penalize such
offenses. Speculation is preferred to
production as a means of livelihood,
gambling on the fall of the currency
preferred. Shopkeepers run up their
prices to meet the fluctuation of the
currency. The French peasant, in
stead of hoarding his currency, in
vests it before it has time to take
another drop, in building improve
ments or the purchase of more land.
A state" law requires that every
sack of potatoes sold or Offered for
sale in Oregon shall be graded and
have the name and address of the
grower stenciled on the sack. It is
presumed that the law is being ob
served by the growers, but if they
are not conforming to its provisions,
it is up to the retailers to protect
their customers by turning down the
purchase of potatoes when not pro
perly graded and delivered in sacks
marked with the grower's name. Lo
cally there are potatoes being put on
the market that are of inferior qual
ity at times, and the consumer has
the same right to know the name of
his potato-grower as he has to know
the name of the person who makes
his butter.
Trail of Small Change .
A Westerner recently spent a week
In a New York hotel. He tipped the
boy who carried- in his grips; , then
tipped the elevator man, then the wa
ter boy, then the chambermaid, (hen
the head waiter for getting him o
table, then the waiter who took his
order. He py.ld the hat girl a dime for
his hat three times a day after meals;
he tipped the bell boy who brought
him a paper, the barber who. shaved
him, h( shine artist who gave a lick
nnd n promise to his shoes, the boy
who helped him put on his coat nnd
handed him his hat, nnd the doorman
who called a taxi for him. He wound
up by tipping the scales and found
he had lost five pounds. Capper's

i'ropvriy fiaced
Miss Eliza Leslie, the sister of the
noted artist, had a relative who was a
sea captain. He w'as on his way to
the Orient, nnd suggested to Miss Les
lie that he should bring her back a
dinner service, painted to her design,
She agreed with pleasure, nnd pro
ceeded to draw a magnificent coat of
arms to go on every piece. In order
that there should be no mlstnke, un
der the design she printed In large let
ters, "This goes In the middle."
Eighteen months later the cnptnln
sailed Into port with the dinner serv
ice. And on every piece, below the
gorgeous crest was printed Indelibly:
"This coes In the middle."
Inherited Mentality
According to a new theory on the
mode of inheritance of mental traits
there are at least five pairs of heredi
tary characters that have to do with
the passing on of intelligence. If both
parents are persons of high Intelli
gence and possessed of all live pairs
of these characters, their children
will also average very high. If they
are idiots, having none of the pairs of
characters, their children also will be
idiots. Intermediate conditions rep
resenting people of good average In
telligence, hut not geniuses, will pro
duce a mixture of offsprlug types, with
occasional exceptional children, nnd
once In a while also offspring of low
mentality.

JUST FOOD
To have' our dishes wholesome,

economical Is the
thing we are all
striving for these

Beef Tongue en Casserole. Wash
a fresh beef tongue, cover with boil
ing water, salted; simmer gently for
an hour or two until the meat Is ten
der. Remove the skin and unedible
portions and good bits may be saved
for hash. Place In a casserole with a
cupful each of carrot, celery, a small
onion and a sprig of parsley. Thicken
the stock with flour and butter cooked
together, using a tablespoonful of
each, pour over the meat and place In
a moderate oven; uncover after the
first hour of cooking. For those who
like a sour sauce, add chopped pickles
or horseradish.

cupful of butter, cream It with one
cupful of sugar, add one egg, one cup

Veracity of Witness
Pat to Severe Test
The courts In countries of the Far
East would not dream of accepting the
evidence that satisfies us, yet con
demn men to death for reasons that
we should consider trifling, according
to Roslta Forbes, who tells-how the
mysterious East solves Its crime prob
lem, in an article in Liberty. In Arabia,
for Instance, Miss Forbes says: "In
any Important case, the testimony of
two eye-witnesses Is necessary and
these may be tested in a most unpleas
ant manner. The local imam, or some
holy man connected with the mosque,
heats a long strip of metal in a bra
zier. When the end. Is white-hot, it is
laid on the tongue of the witness. If
It burns him, be is a liar. If it had no
effect, be is speaking the truth.
"I have seen this test Justify its ex
istence," writes Miss Forbes, "for the
nietaj rests on the tongue for only the
fraction of a second. The truthful
man is not afraid and the saliva in his
mouth saves bim from a burn. The
false witness Is terrified and his
mouth goes so dry that the first touch
scalds his tongue 1"
Yea, It's, a Puny One
'There are . hundreds of practical
jokers in this world," declared the
Leslie avenue bachelor, "and each one
has a bagful of tricks to play on Ma
friends. But there' is one they all .use
that apparently gives them the utmost
in pleasure. They play it on the bald
headed guest whom they invite out to
dinner, by offering bim the use of a
comb. Being bald myself, I have been
forced to chuckle my way through this
Joke on countless occasions. But
secretly, I think it's the zero of them
all. And while I don't think there is
a chance to eliminate it, I wish it
could be done If only to add what
little respect might be added to a
practical Joker's effectiveness." De
