:; ALMOST A PERFECT FOOD
The Oregon State Board of Health
releases the following article to the
state press for publication:
) I Milk is a food, not just a beverage
to drink in order to quench thirst.
When we consider its food value, it
is one of the cheapest foods. Milk
contains the greatest assortment of
nutritive substances of all single food
materials. . The proteins build and
renair body tissue and yield energy,
The fats give energy and store
energy as reserve fat. The sugars
supply energy and warmth. Lime,
phosphorous and iron build bone and
teeth. The vitamines promote
growth and prevent disease. Milk is
the foundation upon which an ade
quate diet can most safely and easily
be constructed. In order that milk
may be of excellent quality when it
reaches the consumer, faultless pre
cautions must be taken to keep it
clean, cool, and covered on the farm,
in the dairy and in travel. Upon the
housekeeper devolves the important
duty of further scrupulous care. Her
share in the care of milk begins as
soon as it is delivered at the home.
Milk should be taken into the house
as early as possible, the containers
washed, wiped, and placed at once
in the refrigerator. When pouring
milk from containers the top of the
container should be cleansed with
flowing water and the milk remain
ing should be returned at once to
the refrigerator and an inverted
glass used as cover. Milk is unques
tionably one of the most difficult
foods to produce, distribute and serve
properly. Milk can be a menace to
life if it is contaminated. Water in
fected with disease germs used for
cleansing purposes; milk handlers in
fected with disease; sick or tubercu
lar cows; or flies may transmit dis
ease by way of milk. Germs, fever
dysentery or tuberculosis thrive in
milk. Pure milk can be produced
only from healthy cows. Cows must
be properly fed, watered, housed and
kindfy treated. Cows should be tu
berculin tested annually. Clean milk
is whole milk produced from healthy
cows under such controlled sanitary
surroundings and conditions as well
safeguard the milk from contamina
tion by any dirt or dangerous organ
isms. However, to make the milk
absolutely safe, every drop of it
should be heated to a temperature of
145 degrees F. and held at that tem
perature for at least 30 minutes and
then cooled rapidly and bottled in
sterile bottles. Only properly con
structed and properly operated pas
teurization apparatus can meet the
necessary heating and holding re
quirements which insure absolute
safety. It is a noteworthy fact that
where strict regulations for the pro
duction and distribution of milk have
been adopted and enforced there has
been an increase in the amount of
milk consumed as high as 100 per
cent.
Three Oregon aspirants are seeking
' membership on the new federal farm
relief board. It is currnetly believed
that Roy Ritner of Umatilla county,
ex-state senator and grain grower
with marketing, banking and legisla
tive experience leads over L. J. Reyn
olds of Marion county and R. H. Kipp,
manager of the agricultural depart
ment of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce. However, it is recognized
that chances of appointment lie al
most wholly in the interest Senator
McNary takes in any one of the
candidates for the place. Ritner's
executive ability is recognized, and
the fact that he is a dirt farmer,
having holdings in an export dis
trict which is affected more than any
other under present agricultural de
pression, should react materially in
the Pendleton man's favor.
Mark Sullivan, Washington's great
est political newspaper correspondent
says that he knows enough about the
country's reception of the new tariff to
be able to say frankly, fairly and def
initely, that the attitude on the whole
is one of disapproval. Sullivan, like
Senator Borah, sees that the primary
tariff revision at the special session
of congress, which was to be in aid of
agriculture only, is being weighted
with a general tariff revision polity
clear down the lino; that this policy,
if allowed to go through will put
another crimp in agriculture to the
extent that the recently enacted
farm relief measure will be nullified.
Biscay, achieving the honor of being
the first Frenchmen to cross over
on a non-stop flight. The real record
of their adventure was in landing
the first over-Atlantic plane stow
away, which they share with a modest
American boy of Portland, Maine.
Senator Blease of South Carolina
kicks on roast beef at 85 cents and
mashed potatoes at 15 cents on his
bill of fare, and he has caused the
menus of a Washington restaurant
to be put into the congressional
record. Which is all right, but when
the senator in calling attention to
comparison between the prices Wash'
ington is paying and what the farm-
er gets, we believe he is overlooking
the grab of a few middlemen when he
says, "you will see proportionately
how much we pay for freight rates,
21 Years Ago
A Saskatoon Canadian desiring to
pass through Chicago, en route to
Anderson, Indiana, by motor, has
written Mayor Thompson of the
windy city, requesting police pro
tection. For safety he expected a
police escort to meet him at the city
limits, and in light of current events
transpiring in the Illinois, metropolis,
the request is by no means unreasonable.
The three Frenchmen and their
Yellow Bird missed their goal by a
scant 150 miles, when their supply of
gaosline ran out. While disappointed
at not having landed on French soil,
the boys and their plane did a good
job of it anyway. They crossed the
Atlantic and landed on the Bay of
Jupe has been more than kind in
his ministrations to this part of the
state, and the prevailing desire is
that he put a cork in his sprinkler
and wend his way hence. He may be
a good old guy, but enough of any
thing is a plenty. What is needed
just now by the bean growers and
berry-pickers is sunshine and plenty
of it. .
Mining in Oregon is looking up.
Several new properties are being de
veloped, some on a large scale which
involves the expenditure of : large
sums of outside money. Development
of mineral holdings in this state is
now at a higher peak than for many
years past.
. o
Cigarette advertising on Seattle
billboards is taboo, with the woman's
clubs of that city, and they are re
ceiving backing from citizens gen
erally. Advertising the "fag" by the
present method which involves com
mon decency, is unpopular every
where.
We have had the regatta, and now
the Legion boys will give us "The
Battle of the Marne" with pyrotech
nic effects on the evening of July 4th
at Walla Walla. As entertainers the
legionaires are doing their part.
Mid-winter is approaching in the
antarctic, where Byrd and his men
have "dug in." A remarkable fluc
tuation of the thermometer has been
noted changes of 65 degrees, from
48 below zero to 16 above.

Sanford Stone and Henry Barrett
who had charge of Athena's Fourth
Annual Horse and Colt Show, are
elated over the success of the exhibi
tion made in this city Saturday. The
parade, which was a mile long swung
into Main street at 2 o'clock, head
ed by Charles Norris, seated with his
wife in a "toppy" rig drawn by Karl
and Aguinaldo, two of Caution's very
best. Following the driving horses,
rode 25 ladies on horseback and trail
ing behind, came the Draft and Coach
classes. A feature of the parade were
the Shetland ponies, ridden by lit
tle girls, and a pack outfit rigged out
from LeGrow & Taylor's cow camp
was realistic to say the least.

Weston young ladies who will spend
the 4th at Cold Springs, on the Wes

Grandma Mansfield has been con
fined to her bed with sickness the
past week. Owing to her advanced
age, the warm weather does not tend
to make her condition better.
A carload of sacks, 40,000, arrived
in Athena from Portland this week
for the members of the Inland Grain
Growers' association. This year the
association contracted for 400,000
sacks. The price paW was $7.15 per
100, delivered.
A man who is believed to be, the
cracksman who entered the McEwen
hardware store and the Pioneer drug
store some time ago in Athena, has
been arrested by the officials in
North Yakima and is being held
awaiting advices from Sheriff Taylor.
The families of E. A. Dudley and
W. R. Taylor, with Misses Laura Mc
Intyre and Zelma DePeatt, left early
yesterday morning for Wenaha
Springs, where they will enjoy the
cool shade and splendid bathing for
a few days.
Fire destroyed the barn on W. C.
Russell's farm Wednesday afternoon.
The blaze Is supposed to have started
from matches ignited by the sun's
rays. Eight set of harness, a fanning
mill and hay was burned. The loss

Locust Spepdt Yeara ,
of Life Underground
, Do seventeen-year locusts really ap
pear every seventeen years? And, If
so, why are some to be found every
year?
. These are pertinent questions,' to
say the least TJiejBeventeen-year lo
cust has long been heard of, and
some skeptical people are inclined to
brand accounts of them as myths. But
they are real insects, and they do re
quire (the variety known as cicada
septendeclm, which is literally Latin
for cicada seventeen!) seventeen, or
In some cases, thirteen years for full
development
The seventeen-yeqr locust Is not a
grasshopper. More exactly, tt Is not
a locust but 'a cicada the name cica
da being pure Latin for the same in
sect, which has been known for cen
turies by this name. A commoner d-'
cada Is found In many localities ev
ery year. But the seventeen-year va
riety, as Webster's New International
dictionary summarizes, spends almost
all of its seventeen or thirteen years
"under ground In the larval condition.
After emerging it quickly changes to
the adult condition,. In which It lives
only a few weeks.''
Locust, by the way, Is also a nearly
pure Latin name. The word "lobster"
Is a variation or corruption of locust,
through the Anglo-Saxon.
Kipling Greatness Not
"Outward and Visible"
, As an alternative to the autograph
album of tradition, Clara Sheridan,
the palnter-cum-sculptress Journalist,
planted a "friendship garden" at her
borne In Sussex, where she had as
neighbors the Rudyard KIplIngs.
"It seemed to me a living, colorful
reminder of one's -friends," says Mrs.
Sheridan In her reminiscences "Naked
Truth."
George Moore contributed a fuchsia
because "when I (Moore) was a child
I liked fuchsias better than almost
any other flower." Robert HIchens
wrote: "1 will try to get hold of a
carnation. I love carnations." Kip
ling's contribution was lavender and
rosemary. A. E. W. Mason sent a
"Vlrbnrnura Placatun" to "spread all
over the flower bed and smother all
the friends In its vicinity.",
Mrs. Slierldan describes Kipling as
"a jolly little man with a school boy
humor who would not have seemed
anything much if his eyebrows had
been shaved and one had not known
his name . . . When he had a
good story to tell Mrs. Kipling always
Intervened to tell it better. If Rud
yard Kipling weije called Jones, a very
charming, cheery Mr. Jones be would
be."
Only One Lin '
A few swift und powerful strokes
carried the sailor to the side of the
elderly womun In distress.
She had lost her footing on the slip
pery deck and was overboard in a
moment.
Suddenly she caught sight of her
rescuer as she came to the surface.
"Oh, save my hnlrl Snve my hair!"
she cried, polntlng'to the wig floating
rapidly down the river.
"Madam," replied the gallant sea
man, as he grabbed her shoulders, "I
am only a life saver, not a hair-restorer."
