Athena, Oregon, September 9....1927
HER NAME IS VIOLET BAY
The Oregon Public Utility Inform
ation Bureau tells us there is a new
hired man on the American farm.
He promises to be the best all-around
hand ever. He never asks for a day
off. He never wants to go to town.
He is on the job, day and night, and
ready to go to work on a moment's
notice.
Not only does' he help with the
chores, but he makes hay when the
sun isn't shining. He has put bees
on a mass production basis. He
makes hens lay as many eggs in
winter as in summer. He makes
cows give the same quality of milk
when they are standing in the barn,
chewing cuds, as when they are out
in the green pastures in the spring.
He has even controlled the maturity
date of crops.
Electricity is this new farm hand.
It is showing the farmer tricks he
never dreamed of, tricks that may
afford a greater ' measure of "agri
cultural relief" than the congression
al farm experts, working overtime.
"Violet Bay," the little sister of
electricity, is this new marvel. Vio
let promises to become a modern
Maude Muller, and so far to outdo
Whittier's Maude, as a model dairy
maid. By simply touching the back
of Old Bossy, or "irradiating;" her, as
they call it in the United States De
partment of Agriculture, Violet Kay
makes the milch cow think the sum
mer sun is shining on her back, and
she gives milk containing a high per
centage of bone-building qualities.
All Bossy has to do is to stand at
her stanchion and allow the violet
rays to play on her back for from
fifteen to thirty minutes a day.

THE INJUSTICE OF IT
The possibility of technical mani
pulation by shrewd lawyers of Am
erican law points is the real bas.s
for world-wide dissatisfaction over
the Sacco-Vanzetti case. In England,
when a man is found guilty of mur
der, his case is settled once and
forever, and he receives capital pun
ishment within a reasonable length
of time. In America it is possible
for a convicted client to wear out the
resources of one set of lawyers and
then employ other counsel to follow
up with what they know of the law
game. This process of retarding the
carrying out of court verdicts is now
transpiring at Salem where Kelley
and Willos, convicted of participat
ing in the slaying of prison guards
are being reprieved on one pretext or
another. The state is now called up
on to prove that Kelley was legally
imprisoned at the time he participat
ed in the prison break that resulted
in the killimr of the guards; as
though in any sense of justice illegal
confinement in prison would to any
extent exonerate him for the crime of
which he was convicted. Willos re
prieves began with the move by his
counsel to prove him insane since
his conviction. Alienists found him
sane. Nevertheless, lost week he re
ceived another 30-day reprieve from
the governor, on what grounds is
not quite clear, but evidently the gov
ernor believes that Willos should
mark time with Kelley.

Based on number of pupils en
rolled, Athena high school again car
ries the banner over all other high
schools in Umatilla county for quota
of students entering institutions of
higher education. This year Athena
tops the percentage list with a total of
twenty-one students claimed by Uni
versity, College and Normal school.
From this splendid record it will be
seen that Athena maintains una of
the very best high schools in the
state. The record also discloses that
certain rumors of the past to tha cf-
that Athena high was low m
compared with other schools
county and state, are without
foundation of fact. Any school the
size of Athena high that can muster
twenty students on the membership
rolls of institutions of higher learn
ing is some school, and don't you for
get it.
Not so bad; only $100,000 above an
even break between capital and labor.
O "
Class 1 railroads operate one
freight car for every 45 inhabitants.
This in face of the fact that there
is one auto truck operating between
Portland and Walla Walla.
Maybe Levine can do something
besides talk, at that.
Queen Victoria Story
Some amusing stories concerning
Queen Victoria are told by Sir Felix
Senion In his autobiography. The
queen bud n grent sense of dignity,
but she also possessed n keen sense of
humor. For Instance, when Sir James
Held, her majesty's physiciun-In-ordl-nary,
became engaged to one of her
maids of honor, the Hon. Miss Baring,
the queen was exceedingly angry, and.
sending for hiin, lectured him severe
ly. He ought to have known, she told
him, that nobody was permitted to
propose to n maid of honor without
obtaining the queen's permission, Sir
James listened, then humbly answered
that her majesty was quite right; be
certainly would not do It again I This
so strongly appealed to the queen's
sense of humor that she laughed heart
ily, and without further ado extended
her pardon.
Strictly Private
ne was a newcomer to the bank and
consequently found his duties rather
hard to remember; but all this was
forgotten when he received his first
pay envelope.
In a businesslike manner he quickly
checked the contents before signing
the receipt. Then bis eye caught the
words underlined In black:
"Your salary Is your personal busi
ness and a confidential matter. It
should not be disclosed to anyone."
The clerk grinned us be picked up
a pen and signed bis name. Below he
added briefly:
"I won't mention It to anyone. ' I
am as much ashamed of It as you
are."

The government experimented with
air mail service long enough to find
out that there was money to be made
in it, then dropped out of the game.
The Boeing Air Transportation, in
corporated, has taken over all of the
air contracts held by the government,
and the private concern will develop
the business along commercial lines
to the extent of carrying passengers
and light freight. In pioneering the
air lanes for the convenience of man,
the" government has borne its share
and u little more, of expense in mon
ey and human lives.
The wholesale value of the Colum
bia river salmon pack for 1927 has
been placed at $6,100,000, and the in
dustry paid 3,000,000 to fishermen.

and officers let us be puncual, be in
