FRANKTON.

Editor Glacier: After what seems
to us a short vacation we will try again
to furnish your many readers with
some Of the weekly things that happen
in Frankton.
Everybody and all their relation and
others have been busy harvesting the
big apple crop the past week.
II YOU want help and ask the passer-
by il he is busy-"Yep, picking Tor
packing) apples"
Warren Miller is hauling junk from
the Green Point mill.
W. T. Eddy is at home for short
time and is picking apples. Mr.. Eddy
has worked for the State Highway
Commission for the past three or four
years.
C. d. Hollenbeck is installing a new
electric motor on his air pressure pump
that supplies water from spring to
his residence.
Guy Eastman has "yumped his yob"
railroading and is packing apples for a
change. Guy says he got hungry.
John Phillips and his Post Canyon
mill are both very busy, he furnishing
the mill the work to do and delivering
the stuff, the mill doing all the work.
Our friend and neighbor, W. A.
Mack, has secured position in Port.
land for the winter and his better half
is working overtime getting things in
shape at home SO she can spend the
winter with her husband. They will
return in the early spring.
The Highway work is slowly coming
our way. A lcamp has been installed
below Rutnton near Robt. TazwelIs
place.
Mrs. Ernest Rand was on the sick
list the week end, but at this writing
is reported better.
Your scribe during his layoff visited
Bend, the much talked.of coming city
of Central Oregon. We were curious
to see it and satisfy our curiosity.
This we did and intended to write up
our opinion about it, but as we shall
have been on the sick list since return
ing will have to do it later.
Mrs. Mabel Shanks, nee Ledford. is
paying short visit with the home
folks at the upper planer, John Led
ford and family.
School has been dismissed for the
past two weeks to allow the pupils to
help what they could with the apple
harvest.
The Parent Teacher Association at
their last meeting. by large majority
vote, decided to ask the school board
to do some remodeling on the school
house. The board responded with an
order to go to it. School boards as a
rule are "wise guys" We know, for
we have been through the mill, filled
all the chairs, got all the glory and
lots of cussing, but when they decide
to do things they do them, and there is
but little they cannot do when they
take notion. They took it in this
case and ordered the writer to get
busy and see that their orders were
carried out during the vacation. We
got busy at once, but owing to the
scarcity Of labor and the short time we
have had to assemble the material for
all the improvements ordered, we
haven't had much time. However, we
hope to deliver the goods in finished
condition, up to date and on time, or
as soon after as possible.
Herbert Hoover, National Food Ad-
ministrator, has set the week of Octo-
Der 2l "a as time for a card pledge
campaign. School Superintendent Glib
son tells me that in Oregon this will
be done through the schools. It is Mr..
Hoover's desire to have everybody use
conservation in all foods, and it is up
to the people Of the United States to
help in every way possible in this war.
We expect to win without any doubt,
but to win soon is the point and this is
one of the many ways being adopted
to win soon. so let US all get busy at
once and don't sit down on a log and
wait to see what the other fellow is
