Halloween pranks in Athena disgust residents
Several troubling Hallowe'en incidents marred Tuesday night in Athena. Outhouses overturned, horses and vehicles left strewn along Main street, and a placard with crude wording appeared near storefronts. Children dressed as spooks roamed the town while bells and jack o' lanterns added eerie atmosphere amid limited broader disturbances. A Pendleton contractor, Tom Meses, was robbed and knocked unconscious in a separate incident Saturday night.

The Human Skin and the Race Color Question
The article discusses a 1910 era theory by Professor Lionel Lytle on human skin color evolution. It traces a primitive brownish yellow origin, migrations, climate influence, and how light, heat, and humidity shaped skin tones across Africa and other regions, arguing that climate governs color and that white skin would fade if relocated long enough. Also notes the claim that the same forces operate today as humans migrate.

Scientists across the Pacific slope push a consort to secure Bluestem wheat as the inland empire royal grain. The project promises millions in farm income, with hybrid trials like Turkey-Bluestem showing higher protein and milling quality but dark kernels and variable yields. If adopted, production could rise from five to six million bushels annually in the Big Bend area, while experts warn the variety trails Red Russian and other hybrids in yield.
