BIDS ON ROAD
ARE REJECTED

Owing to the fact the bids submitted
for grading and graveling the road
from Pendleton to Echo and from Echo
to the Morrow county line were re-
garded as excessive and for the fur
ther reason the sale of bonds by the
highway commission has been post
poned all action on the road work in
this county was held up at the meeting
of the commission held in Portland.
The bids on graveling set forth a
price in excess of $4,000 per mile and
the bids on grading were also higher
than anticipated. Therefore all bids
were rejected by the commission.
The sale of bonds is deferred pend
ing advice on the subject from the
San Francisco branch of the federal
reserve bank. Owing to war conditions
no bonding houses will take such bonds
unless they have the approval of the
government. The case has been SUBJ
mitted to the reserve board by W. L.
Thompson who presided and it is pro-
bable an early opinion will be given.
Inasmuch as the federal government
approves the building of main trunk
lines of Importance to the federal gov
ernment it is felt the reserve board
will approve the Oregon road bonds.

II 10 an Evil Thing That Warps Judg.

mont and Breeds Injustice.
Prejudice is an insidious thing. 1t
creeps into the soul unaware. 1t leads
us to say and do wrong things; 1t
warps our judgment and leads to in
justice, unkindness and even cruelty.
It paves the way for hatred and mall
Ice. In proportion as We learn to clear
our minds of prejudice we become bet
ter men and women; we win friends
and dissolve enmities; we are more
worthy of respect and confidence.
No one wants to be judged by false
standards that prejudice sets up. Be-
ware Of judging others in such light.
Prejudice cramps the mind and the
heart; 1t stands in the way of rightful
growth of character 1t is wise to
search your heart and if you find pref
udice there to set about to root 1t out
wholly.
Do not be sure you Of all men are
unprejudiced. That Is the danger, for
prejudice is guarded by vanity. Seek
to be just in all things, small as well
as great. In all the relations Of life be
sure you are not judging another, not
for his error, but from your prejudice.
For the worst thing about this weak
ness is that it breeds injustice and un-
kindness and malice. 1t hurts innocent
folk and makes no one happier.-Mil-

felter, driver of the Ford auto which
figured in the accident.
Several witnesses were called, the
chief among them being Fred Morley,
who was passenger in the car. The
testimony showed that Lingenfelter
was driving at about the rate of %
miles per hour when something broke
in the steering gear of his car as it
was crossing the O.-W. R. & N. track
midway between Walla Walla and Col

controllable and ran into the boy, who
was the 7-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kenneth Kimes, living near Artesia
station and who was walking along
side of the road on his way to school in
College Place, accompanied by another
boy, who wasonly slightly injured.

"Solid Gold"

Commercially speaking, the term
"solid gold" is n misnomer, since such
gold has not been used for many, many
years. Some CT the ancient Roman

pure gold, worked up by hand with the
crudest Of tools, but since the old days
there has been constantly increasing
employment Of alloys, for the reason
that jewelers. found that the harder the
gold was rendered by good alloys the
greater Its wearing qualities and the
more secure, therefore, was the setting

.AUSP|C|0US OPENING OF
new COMMUNITY CENTER

Last Friday evening the newly fin
ished first floor of the Christian church
building was dedicated with splendid
spirit of sociability, when large num-
ber of Athena people were entertained.
A short program consisting Of vo-
cal solo by Miss Lula Tharp. solo by
Rev. V. X. Allison, and reading by
Mrs. Errett. was preceded by short
welcoming address by Mr.. Errett, in
which he set forth the purpose of the
church board in providing this splendid
room for the social convenience of the
young people and the community gen.
orally. 1t is hoped that this may be
regarded as a community center, at
which social functions may often en-
liven the times.
AS an opening feature, a grand
march was given. in which the grown
ups were followed by the younger peo-
pie, and this was followed by guess
ing contest, and most divertipg
"quick change race" Light refresh
ments were served.
The spacious dimensions of the room
built in semi-circular form and ad-
mirably seated, lends itself to the pos
sibilities for an endless diversity of
pleasant functions to come.

Wardinu OF Old Ace.

A famous French general when asked
how 1t was that be had such an erect
carriage replied that 1t was because he
bent over and touched the floor with
his fingers thirty times every day. II
he had acquired rigidity of the spine so
that he could not do that he would
have had with 1t weak abdominal mus.
cles, which result in portal congestion.
This portal congestion interferes with
stomach digestion and with the action
Of the liver. The poison destroying
power of the liver is lessened, autoin-
toxication results, and arteriosclerosis
and old age come on at Il much earlier
day. But by keeping the spine flexible
and the abdominal muscles strong and
taut the portal circulation is kept free
and old age is held off.

The Great Tropical Belt.

Between the thirtieth parallel of
north latitude, which runs through
New Orleans, north Africa, northern
India and southern China, and the
thirtieth parallel of south latitude,
which cuts through southern Brazil,
the southern tip of Africa and the
southern part of Australia, Is half the
land area of the world outside the
polar regions and one-half the worlds
population. Yet the commerce Of this
great tropical belt, with half the land
area and half the world population is
but one-sixth that of the international
commerce Of the world, and 1t has but
one-seventh of the worlds railways de-
spite the fact that the temperate zones
are anxiously calling for its products
Of food and manufacturing material.

Then, in about III
pair of horns arrives, b..
der and easily hurt.
A deer's new horns are called "vel-
vet" because they grow inside of a
tough skin which is coarse and brown,
like plush. For long time he will
not thrash his horns in the brush. 1t
would be too painful.
When a deer is without horns he
feels weak. When the new horns start
and grow he begins to feel strong
again. After awhile he tosses his head
from side to side every day, and then
he runs rapidly through the brush and
underground.
AS his new horns become big they
also become less easily hurt. In rum
ming through the brush the outer skin,
or 'velvet," is broken and peeled away.
In the springtime the "velvet" drops
off. The deer Is then very proud Of
his new clothes.
If n deer is not afraid of pain he will
try out his new horns long before his
mates do. He will net wait until the
velvet is gone. Wherever this outer
skin is broken too soon the horn grows
longer and larger. Thus 1t Is that the
bravest deer has the biggest pair OF
horns--AlDany Argus.

Washington, Nov. 2e.-Repeal Of
the increased postage rates was ap-
proved today by the senate finance
committee. Amendments to the war
revenue bill were adopted to abolish
the zone increase on second class
rates with proviso that the rate
shall be 1hc per pound beyond a 200
mile radius, and also for repeal of
the extra cent per ounce postage on
letters.
The committee also ordered into
the bill the so-called child labor
amendment. It was offered by Sem
ator Lodge and provides for ten
per cent tax on products of child la
Dor.
The change in second class postage,
under the committees amendment,
would become effective upon enact
ment of the bill, while that reducing
first class postage rates would be ef-
fective July 1 next.
The amendment reducing second
class mail rates offered by Senator
smoot Of Utah, Republican, provides
that upon enactment of the bill the
existing zone system, which many
publishers, particularly those of
magazines have attacked, as unjust,
would be abolished and that thereaft-
er the second class rate shall be at
the old scale of one cent per pound
