Athena, Sept. 12.-Wheat is still
coming into the warehouses in large
quantities from all directions. No
sales have been made for several days
to speak of, and it is thought that the
farmers will hold for still better
prices.
A number of friends of Mr.. and
Mrs Henry Schmidt, who live a few
miles from here, spent a pleasant day
with them last Sunday at their beau
tiful home, in honor of their 25th we'd
ding anniversary. They received a
number of very beautiful presents, and
the day was very much enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Plamondon, mother of DR..
Plamondon, who has been here for
some time visiting with her son, has
returned to her home in Portland.
Preparations are well under way for
the opening of school next Monday.
There promises to be a good attend
ance.
1t is understood that the new skat-
ing rink at this place will soon be
opened, and 1t promises to be we'll
patronized by the young people of this
place.
Athena is very prosperous this fall
and many of the families who have
gone away from here to seek other
places to live, have returned to the
old love. One man was heard to say
that he was glad indeed that he still
had his home left here to come back
to. Athena always had. good wheat
crops. What Athena needs is smaller
farms, as there is plenty of room here
for more people.
Hay continues to come in from the
mountain district to the Preston-Par-
ton Milling company, which is shipping
out large quantities of 1t daily.
A number of young people have
gone away to school during the past
week, some of them to Weston and
some to Whitman and different places.
1r. and Mrs. ]. D. Plamondon re-
turhed last evening from a visit to
Pendleton.
The fore part of the week was like
July weather in Athena, and cooler
weather was hardly expected so soon

-. "oLD DEFENDERS DAY,
September 12, 1914, the British Didn't
Take Baltimore.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. 12.-Balti-
more today kept its annual holiday In
celebration of "Old Defenders Day."
the anniversary of the successful de-
fense of the city against the attack
of the British on September ~, 1914.
The repulse of the 5000 British
troops was due to the heroism Of a
little American garrison under COM
mand of Major Armisted and it was
this incident that led Francis Scott
Key to compose "The Star Spangled
Banner"
Key had been sent to the British
admiral under flag of truce to re-
quest the release of one of his friends
who had been captured when the
British burned Washington. The ad-
miral promised to grant Keys re-
quest, but detained him with the fleet
in Chesapeake bay for two days to
prevent his carrying ashore news of
a proposed attack on Fort McHenry
at Baltimore. The British admiral
had declared that he soon would
compel the American to haul down
the flag within the fort, so, during the
night Of the 18th, while the lombard
ment was in progress, Key watched
the flag anxiously from the deck of
a British warship, until the bonn
bardment ceased, sometime before
daylight. -,
With the first rays Of dawn he was
straining his eyes to discover wheth-
er the admirars prediction had come
true. When he found that the flag
was "still there" and that during the
night the Americans had repulsed the
British both on land and water, his
Joy found vent in some hastily scrib-
bled notes on the back Of an old let
ter he had in his pocket. He put
them in verse while returning in the
boat to Baltimore, and a few days
later the verses were adapted to the
air Of an English song. "To Anacreon
in Heaven"

regular weekly meeting this afternoon
at the Central station to consider a
number of routine matters and to hold
at least three hearings.
One of those whom the board had
summoned for a hearing was Roger

violation of the liquor law. Another
was James Foley OF the Royal hotel,
Weybosset and Clemence streets. on a
like charge; and still another was
Patrolman George A. Wyman of the
Sixth station, against whom Mary M.
Rockwell complained. 1t seems to have
been kind of neighborhood feud. of
which the board is asked to take
cognizance on the ground that the
officers conduct was unbecoming.

women and girls would be witnesses

desired that the full board should hear
