EXCAVATION BEING MADE
FOR THE new elevator

Ne work of excavation for the
foundation of the new grain elevator,
to be built in Athena by the Farmers
Union Grain Agency. is under way.
The work is being started on the south
end of the Taylor Independent Ware
house, and just north of the city rock
4uHty. However, W W. Harra, who was in
the city Wednesday, in company with
the consulting engineer of construc-
tion, said there was possibility that
the location of the elevator might be
changed from the proposed location on
the property to that facing lower Main
street, on account that the problem of
taking care of the water while putting
in the concrete foundation was now
confronting them. In his opinion, the
Main street site would afford more
uniform condition for basement con-
struction than the site on the south end
of the property.
According to Mr.. Harra, the struc-
tural iron and gravel for the new
building had been contracted for and
he left for Spokane on Wednesday eve
ming to close the contract for the con-
crete. After securing the concrete,
work will begin at once on the new
building. Mr.. Harra stated the new
elevator at Pilot Rock is assured, fol
the greater portion of the money has
been raised and when the organization
is effected, the Pilot Rock enterprise
will be merged with the Farmers
Union Grain Agency, also.

SAVINGS STAMPS
CAMPAIGN IS ON

Umatilla County's allotment in the
War Savings Stamps campaign is..near-
ly $500, 900. or 500 for every man,
woman and child in the county.
The stamps which can be purchased
for amounts from rs cents to 500,
offer the most attractive war invest
ment offered to Americans as they
yield ~ per cent compounded quar-
terly. 1t is not the purpose of the
Government that money taken out of
the banks, or savings accounts to buy
these attractive securities, but rather
that the amounts saved by thrift and
home economies be invested in them.
That the bonds may not be taken en-
tirely by the wealthy. limit of $1,000
is all that any individual may purchase
or hold at any time.
w. S. Gleiser, local campaign man.
ager, represented Athena at the county
committee meeting held in Pendleton
Monday. The stamps will soon be
placed on sale in the leading business
houses, the schools, as well as in the
Postoffice. railway stations and the
bank. Mr.. Gleiser intends to use the
organization perfected and trained for
the Christmas drive for membership in
the Red Cross, as an educational factor
and enthusiasm spreader to make the
sales easy for the offices selling them.
At the present time the stamps can be
purchased at the Postoffice and at the
o. w R. g. N. railway station.
A very important meeting will be
held at the Auditorium Monday night,
January 2s. The following organiza-
tions are requested to be represented
preparatory to placing the stamps on
sale at their establishments:
Schools. o. Russell, Grant Shaft
ner. R. E. Gribble.
Churches-D. E. Baker, D. Errett,
w.. s. Gleiser.
Women's Clubs-All organizations
represented in the Christmas Red
Cross membership drive.
Business householder Rule, Ste
phens 6 Hassell, Wares Pharmacy,
Public Library, Fix & Radtke, First
National Bank, Athena Press.
Twenty dollars per capita means in
tensive, energetic work done by all
these organizations, but Athena will
be in the front rank as usual on this
new patriotic drive, and the entire
quota will be reached, no doubt long
before the close of the campaign, jan
uary !, 1919.

MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK.
Get II Out Earning For You, but 30 a
Careful Investor.


Money Is a workman. 1t works for
its owner while the owner sleeps, and
1t will work for anybody who has 1t IL
he will only put 1t to work, for there
is always somebody ready to hire mon
ey and pay for its use.
Let every reader who has few hum
dred dollars to spare put 1t In good
$500 or 81 1,000 bond on the partial pay
ment plan and let 1t earn something.
Five hundred dollars invested in @
per cent bond with the income depos-
tied In savings bank at 4 per cent?
will double itself In twelve years-that
Is, the $500 will have become $1,000 in
that time. This $1,000 at O per cent
will earn $50 year, or over 81 week,
for its possossor. Even at 8 per cent
1t will double In fifteen years and at 4
per cent In eighteen years.
The lesson the small investor wants
to learn Is that his money is just as
good as that Of the larger investor,
The former has greater need Of being
careful because he has less to spare.
Learn to be careful investor. The
first thing the careful buyer does IL he
wants to buy horse, COW, house
or farm, a bond or share of stock
is to make careful investigation.
Schoolboys may swap the jackknives
they hold In their closed hands, but
grown up men ought to know better
The humblest investor can buy with
as great safety as the proudest, fol-
i both can deal with the same bankers
or brokers In these days when small
lots are popular with firms Of estab
llshed character.-Jasper In Leslie's,

EnaIish Prison Pits.

Prison pits were vaults In which
criminals in England were kept at
night, chained together. There was
one at Bristol which was In use as
late as 1916. Down eighteen steps, 1t
was only seventeen feet in diameter
by nine feet high, and seventeen men
were consigned to it every night.
Even more typical was Warwick Jail
pit, which was occupied at least until
1907. 1t was an octagonal dungeon
twenty-one feet In diameter and al
most nineteen feet underground. In
the middle was cesspool, and beside
1t ran a stream Of water which served
the prisoners for drinking purposes.
To this awful cell forty-two men were
consigned every afternoon at 3:45, to
remain there until after daylight the
following morning.

FARMERS TO GUT
down HOLDINGS

4 White farmers on the reservation
who are working leased Indian land
iRexcess of 800 acres will be allowed
to continue to farm that land during
the duration of their leases but will
not be permitted to lease other Indian
land until they have cut their holdings
to 800 acresA says the Tribune. This
decision asApnounced by officials Of
the Indian bureau in Washington, D.
c., after a conference recently which
was attended by several Indians from
the reservation and Major E. L. Swart-
zlander, superintendent.
No other changes have been made
in the regulations which were announc-
ed during the summer and none are
anticipated. Leases will be bid in by
sealed offers, opened go days after the
land is announced open for bidding.
The bids will be subject to the right
Of the former tenant to meet the terms
of the high bid. Senator McNary and
Representative Sinnott were present
at the conference, which lasted two
hours or so. The Indians protested
against the procedure of lease by bid
ding, claiming that the disposal of
their lands was taken out of their
hands altogether.
Another matter taken up by the
conference was presented by Jim Ka-
nine, representing the Walla Wallas.
He entered protest against the issu-
ance of patents in fee to the Indians
as a result of the examinations con.
Quoted by commission about a month
ago. The officials said that they had
not yet received the report of the COM
mission and would not be able to act.
The Indians afterward met the vice
president and members of the senate

dier's Philosophy.
Everything might be worse than 1t

the philosophy of the man in the ranks:
OF two things one ID certain-either
you're mobilized Or you're not mobi-
lized.
If you're not modified there's no
need to worry; If you're on the front
Of two things one is certaln-elther
you're behind the lines or you're on
the front.
If you're behind the lines there Is no
need to worry; II you're on the front
Of two things one is certain-either
you're resting in a safe place or you're
exposed to danger.
If you're resting In a safe place there
Is no need to worry; II you're exposed
to danger, Of two things one is certain
either you're wounded or you're not
wounded.
II you're not wounded there is no
need to worry; If you are wounded Of
two things one Is certain-either you're
wounded seriously or you're wounded
slightly.
If you're wounded slightly there Is
no need to worry; II you're wounded
seriously of two things one Is certain
either you recover or you die.
If you recover there Is no need to
worry; If you die you can't worry.

SEWING IS DISTRIBUTED
TO RED CROSS WORKERS

About fifteen ladies were present at
the meeting of the Red Cross auxiliary
Wednesday afternoon, when fifty
should have responded, considering the
present membership in the city and
community. Mrs. Hill, local chairman,
had received about 1876 pairs of hos
pital bed socks. part of which were
distributed among those present. More
work remains which may be secured
by calling on the chairman. This work
is simple. and may be taken home and
done at the convenience of the sewer.
Nine knitted sweaters and two scarfs
were sent in to headquarters at Pen
dleton. Six knitters called for yarn,
and were supplied.
A donation of 100 pennies was re
ported, contributed from the "private
bank" of the little folks in the family
of Mrs. M. W. Hansell. This was
given inspatriotic response to call
for penny change, and will doubtless
be followed by other donations.
