The business men's breakfast sriven Wednesday morning at the Athena Hotel by the landlady, Mrs. Laura rroom, was a very pleasant event, and was the means of assembline the men who conduct the business affairs of Athena together for the first time in many months. ? Covers were laid for twenty-six and during the breakfast hour a very ap propriate musical program was given. M. L. Watts presided as toastmaster and a number responded with words of appreciation for .Mrs., Froom's generous hospitality and expressions very much in favor of future get-together meetings of business men. Mrs. Froom was assisted in arrang ing for the breakfast by Mr. and Mrs. C. E. O. Mdntague, and those who participated m givmg the program were Mrs. Laurence Pinkerton, Mrs. Ralph McEwen, Mrs C. E. 0. Mon tague, Miss Arleen Myrick, Miss Mar jorie Montague and Mr. Dan Tilley. The long table where the twenty six guests were seated was beautiful ly decorated, a color scheme of pink and green being employed. The table was centered with a huge antique bowl of pink blossoms and ferns and pink geraniums were placed at either end. Mr. Watts introduced those who contributed to a musical program as follows: piano solo, "Black Hawk Waltz," Arleen Myrick; vocal solo, (a) "The Top o' the Morning," (b) "Invy," Mrs. Ralph McEwen; piano solo, "The Shepherd Boy," Marjorie Montague; vocal solo, "Allice Blue Gown, Mrs. C.

Oregon's acreage of corn grown for grain could be increased 100 per cent or more without overproducing for the present state demand, i according to the 1931 corn outlook report just is sued by the Oregon State college ex tension service. Corn shipments in to the state total several times the amount of home grown? corn sold by iarmers. Sales of corn for cash from Oregon iarms have not exceeded 200 carloads a year, according to the , best available information at the college. Although information on the total amount ship- ped into the state is inc6mplete, near ly 1400 carloads have been received at Portland alone in each of the past two years. j Evidence of the shortage of home grown supplies of corn is also found m price statistics. The farm price received by corn grower in this state has been from 20 cent! to 30 cents a bushel more than the; average for the whole country. The general corn outlook for the United States indicatel a five per cent increase in acreage, says the col lege report Production is likely to be above average, although it is too early to estimate yields. The carry over of corn from the 1930 crop is expected to be less than average.

As soon as the flood waters reach ed it, the bridge leading to the swim ming pools went out. Later the ho tel kitchen lean-to was wrenched from the main building and lodged several feet to the west, against the woodshed. The caretaker reported that no damage resulted to the fish hatchery as a result of the high water. The summer homes and rental cottages were flooded at the highest stage of the water, but foundations were in tact and .the most serious damage was the washing out of soil that had been placed on the lots. The road from the Holaday place leading west toward the Thompson ranch and Gibbon is impassable, so he reported, due to slides and wash outs, perhaps. A small patch of 200 acres of as paragus will be planted near Harris burg in the Willamette valley. A cannery will take care of the Burplus product. After only a few week's illness from stomach trouble, Sanford Stone; for many years a resident of the Athena neighborhood, died Monday night at St. Anthony's hospital in Pendleton. Mr. Stone, who was employed at the A. L. Swaggart farm, north of Athe na, went to the hospital Friday for medical treatment. Athena friends who visited him found that he was apparently getting.; better, and his death was unexpected by them.- , Mr. Stone's wife died of: cancer in Athena several years ago.? He still retained his residence property iir the north part of town, and when not em ployed elsewhere, lived there. He was prominent in lodge affairs and several times had been a delegate to I. O. O. F. grand lodge sessions, representing Wild Horse Lodge No. 73 of this city. He is survived by one brother, Vern Stone, one sister and his mother, now 73 years of age, all residents of Southern Oregon. Funer al services will be held at the Chris tian church here this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. ; Tim In Again Weston Leader: T. L. McBride of Eagle creek, who has his share of mishaps but always comes up smil ing, is now temporarily out of com mission with a broken rib.

First Stage Went In Ditch The first Union Pacific stage to leave Pendleton for Walla Walla since the flood, went into the ditch on the highway west of Athena. Heavily loaded with passengers, the steering gear went wrong and the big coach left the hard surface. Fortun- 'ately none was seriously injured. sonality, character, and Achivemnf exemplify these noble traditions. For the same reason, we should like the cooperation of the home in emphasiz ing upon the youth of the state the evils of bigotry, the fineness of toler. ance, the beauty of reverence, and the avune character of truth. one of the devices that we are developing at the University is a series of orientation courses offered In the lower division. Under our present regulations for the junior col lege, a freshman entering the Univer sity is required to take his choice of three out of four possible orientation courses. The work of the University for the purpose of organizing these four courses is divided into four groups: The biological group, the na tural science group, the language and literature group, and the social sci ence group, These courses are built around the development of methodology on scien tific method in these large fields of human knowledge. For after nil. tho development of methodology or scleh the complicated, technical thing that we conceive it, but in simple language it is merely the method by which the great scholars of all times have sought to oase tneir knowledge upon facts and to free their minds from the pre possession of prejudice, of ignorance, of mysticism, and of established dog ma that had nothing back of it but tne tnoughtless acquiesence of ignor- X . , , anil multitudes. Work Explained For example, a freshman would go Into the orientation course given by the natural science group. He would find that chemistry started with cer tain esoteric mystical notions that had nothing to do with truth or reality. Little by little the mind of man was able to face the problem of chemis try from the standpoint of facts rather than of prejudice. Gradually he developed a methodology or scien tific method by which he was able to eliminate from his own intellect the forces of pride of opinion, of bigotry, of ignorance, and mysticism and let his mind seek only the truth as evi denced by the facts of life. The triumph of modern chemistry has been simply the freeing of the mind from these old impediments of ignor ance and bigotry and dogma and the application of inventive genius to the discovery and interpretation of facts. Perhaps the next hour the freshman may go into the course in the social sciences, and he finds that the same thing has been true there, that big otry, lack of intellectual integrity, partisanship, and man-made creeds have prevented people from under standing their own political, social, and economic lives, and that social science has become an instrument of social progress only in so far as these alien factors have been overcome and the love of truth has replaced the pride of opinion and the partisan big. otry that has too frequently dominat ed even some of the great scholars in the development of social science. When a student, through these var ious orientation course has found that intolerance, bigotry,Aand dogma have been the great impediments to human progress and to individual achievement the fact will be borne upon mm with such relentless logic and with such an array of evidence that he cannot escape the conchiHion that such a student will begin to find a new value in the love of truth, in maintaining an open mind, in ap proaching the problems of life with reverence, and in soekins- to h miUot in his own thinking by a just regard for the facts and to be always free irom me winding influence of passion and intolerance; If we can get these fundamental lessons of life into the consciousness of youth, we will have gone a long way in for lives of usefulness and iovou ac. complishment Professions Observed In addition to these two int.All0ot.1iBi qualities, there are the rohlpm nf training youth in certain skills and uiBcipiines and techniques which are essential to certain of the technical professions. This we are trying to do in our professional schools, the work of which will be discussed in other papers in this series. In these pro fessional schools, however, we are not merely following the standard pat tern, but we have some of the best members of . our faculty . carefully studying our methods of instruction ' trying to improve them, testing out the results that they achieve, to the . end that your children Bhall have the best instruction in their technical and professional training that it is pos sible for our resources to provide. The final matter that deserves con sideration has to do not with Intel lectual, but with the spiritual, the al truistic, and the emotional aspects of life. To train young men and women in critical habits of thinking, in the formulation of sound judgments, and to Impart to them certain skills and disciplines in other words, to in crease their general intellectual pow er and ability, without at tha .- ; time organizing their emotional lives, giving them an insight into the spiri tual values and trying to nourish and direct the wholesome, generous, and altruistic impulses of youth, would be a- danger, rather than a blessi-ig to your children and to society.

Branding Poultry Indicative of the effectiveness of the tattoo branding of poultry as a means of curbing thievery is found in the fact that nearly 100 Yamhill county poultrymen are now using this method, and not a single case of theft of tattooed poultry has been reported. This method was origin ated by S. T. White, Yamhill county agent, and is now in general use in all poultry producingVcounties of the state.
