LOCAL RAILROAD MAN IS
NOW SUPERINTENDENT
Jack Close Made Superintendent of The
Spokane Division Has Had Rapid
RiSe-0ther Changes

In the past few months there has
a general shakeup in the train force OF
the Great Northern Ry Co., and as a
result our old fellow townsman John
Close has drawn position as Division,
Superintendent on the Spokane Division
which includes the territory between
Spokane and Leavenworth and will in
the future make his visits to Leaven-
worth in a private car.
Mr.. Closes rise in railroad circles
has been rapid Less than ten years
ago he took a position out OF Leaven-
worth as brakeman. In a few years
he was a conductor running trains and
in the past FIVE years he has held a
dozen or more travelling positions.
Before his last promotion he was train
master on the Spokane Division. A
lew months ago he was called east by
the road officials to take the accountancy
course, which is preparatory work for a
superintendent and now the announce
ment comes OF his advancement. Mr..
Close is recognized as an able and
capable railroad man and his friends
predicthe will be a railroad manager
n a few years.
Among other changes made the past
week, VIM. Pannon who has been
travelling engineer, becomes a master
mechanic to succeed T. j. Clark who
was raised to a higher position. F. w.
Clemmens who makes his home in
this city succeeds Mr.. Pannon. W..
R. Smith, superintendent Of the
Cascade Division has been made
general superintendent Of the eastern
division. There were other changes
made but we were unable to get a
correct report.

The first OF series OF entertainments
to be given here during the winter
under the direction OF the Kumtux
Club was given at the Scenic theatre
Wednesday evening. when the Means
Anderson Trio appeared in musical
and recitational numbers. A good
house greeted the Trio. The musical
numbers were. very pleasing. The
Hungarian Phantasy, on the violin,
with piano accompaniment, was very
good. Under the direction OF the
club three more entertainments will be
given after holidays.

WFNATCHEE AND CASHMERE
BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSE
To Help Save the Apple CrOp-Eyery
Other Day and Every Half Day

Because of the impossibility to Get
Help to save the magnificent fruit crop
in the Wenatchee valley the Business
and professional men of Wenatchee,
thru the activities of the Commercial
club, last week decided to close every
other day until the apple crop Of the
lower valley is safe. The schools also
have closed in order to give the larger
children an opportunity to help in the
orchards. At Cashmere the business
have men agreed to close a half day
every day and all hands go to the
orchards to help save the crop. Here
also the schools have closed and will
remain closed until the picking season
is over. The shortage Of help in the
Peshastin valley. three miles from
Leavenworth, is also acute. Last Sun
day number of Leavenworth people
put the day in picking apples. With
ready market and the best price for
apples that has been paid for number
Of years it would be little less than a
calamity to lose large part of the crop.
Should severe cold spell set in, as
has been forecast by the weather
prophets about the first OF November,
thousands of dollars worth of apples
would be destroyed.

You Must Do It. Don't Depend
on Tom, Dick and Harry

We must all show that Leavenworth
is willing to do her part. That she is
not a. Stacker. To-day, between 1880
and IL come to the Cascade Garage,
next to the post Office, and let US have
a heart to heart talk. 1t will be shown
that YOU are interested in this move.
Come II you believe in Leavenworth.
II you think she is dead cock in the
pit stay away.

BUSINESS HOUSFSCLOSE
TOHFLP APPLE HARVEST
LeayenwOrth Storemen All Closed We'd
nesday and Everybody Went to
the Orchards

Because there are yet so many ap'
pies that remain to be picked, and the
season is late and adverse weather may
be expected almost any time, the bus
mess men of Leavenworth decided to
clote up Wednesday % that everybody
could go to the orchards and help,
following the lead OF the Wenatchee
and Cashmere merchants. Whether
other closing days will be decided on
depends on the condition in the or
chards. II help is unobtainable and
there is possibility of loss, doubtless
other closing days will be decided on.
Early on Wednesday. though it had
rained bit in the early morning, a
dozen or more auto loads left town for
the orchards in the vicinity Of Peshas-
tin, only three miles distant, where
from 400 to 500 car loads of apples are
expected to be harvested. By 9 o'clock
the sky had cleared and the sun shone
bright although there was strong wind
most Of the day. The day was profit
ably spent however and a good many
thousand boxes Of apples were picked
that might otherwise have gone to
waste

School Turns Out so Children
Can Pick Apples

On the representation that the older
children could be OF great help to pick
apples the sixth, seventh, eighth and
the high school class was dismissed

week. Thus some twenty-five or
thirty children became available for
apple picking. and nearly all Of them
went to Peshastin. Arrangement was
made with the orchard owners to come
after the children and bring them back
in the evening.

FOOD CONSERVATION
DRIVE IN WASHINGTON
225,O0O Family Pledges Wanted by Nov.
All Pulpit Orators viii Preach
on Food Saving Next Sunday

Three thousand church pulpits and
three thousand Sunday Schools OF the
state of Washington are expected to
devote their periods of sermon and
lesson Sunday, October %, to the
dissemination of the food conservation
doctrines of Herbert c. Hoover,
National Food Administrator.
Three thousand invitations to pastors
all over the state were mailed from the
headquarters OF Federal Food Admins
traitor Charles Hebberd, 10 days ago
and the response has been so general
and agreeable that the Federal Food
Administrator is confident that almost
all will present at least some Of the
points fthe Hoover Food Conservation
program.
1t is largely through the medium of
the Churches, Sunday Schools and
public schools that the Pledge Cam
paign is expected to be made thorough
lY successful.
Perfected plans for the final follow
up" drive during the week OF October
18 and November were announced
by Mr.. Hebberd. The week OF
October 21-28 is to be the school
children's. opportunity to push the
Hoover Pledge Compaign, when
several hundred thousand school
children will be carrying home pledge,
kitchen instruction and window. display
cards, and bringing back to their
teachers the signed Pledge cards.
Such homes as do not display the
window cards, advertising the fact that
their household head is Hooverizing.
are to be visited by the county and
precinct organizations and these are
expected to bring up Washiugton's
quota Of household Hooverization
pledges to 223, ,ooo'without fail.
The first four days of next week.
October 90, 80, 81 and November 1
are to be given over to complete organ
ization Of the county and precinct
committeeman. Friday and Saturday,
November Q and 8, are to be big
cleanup days" when the house to
house campaign will be prosecuted with
such vigor that, it is hoped, not a
home in the state of Washington will
fail to have been invited, at least, to
join the Hoover Food Conservation
Army.
In this final drive, more than 5000
workers, it is expected, will be in the
field. This is on a minimum estimate
of three to each one OF the 5000, pre-
cints in the state.
All but one OF the SO counties in
the state have been definitely and
thoroughly organized.
AS an idea of what other states are
doing, a telegram from the national
headquarters in Washington brought
the news to Mr.. Hebberd that Louisiana
had secured more pledges than the
largest total vote ever cast in any
election in that state. Louisiana started
her campaign two weeks in advance OF
other states.
Nearly a million pieces OF mail
matter have been issued from the
Washington state headquarters in the
Columbia building, Spokane, in the
last few weeks, including 100000
printed pledge. window and instruction

Apple PiCkers On Strike

Some Of the apple pickers in the
Peshastin district struck the first OF the
week. They were being paid $3.50 a
day and board and wanted 81 per day.
Efforts were being made by some ol
the I. W.W.'s to deter by threats those
who refused to quit work. This is a
violation OF law for which they may be
apprehended. A man has the right
to cease work himself if the pay OF
conditions do not suit him but he vio-
lates the law if he tries to prevent 9TH
ers from working.

TOOK PARROT By MISTAKE
Country Gentleman Who Had Oined
and Wined Too Well Couldn't Find
His Lantern in Morning.

A certain gentleman living In the
country, who was something of bon
vlveur, was invited to dinner by a
neighbor. The night was very dark,
and in order to guide him on his way
he took with him the stable lantern,
clumsy old thing bound round with
wires. The gentleman reached his
friends house in safety and enjoyed
himsef extremely. The dinner was
good and the wine excellent.
Presently the hour for the return
Journey arrived. He forgot to relight
his lantern, but though the moon re-
fused to shine he arrived home all
right. On the following morning he
could not find his precious lantern, so
he sent his gardener with a note to his
friend couched in the following terms
Dear Jones VIII you kindly return
to the bearer the stable lantern whlcr
l left at your house last night?
yours sincerely.
~. r.. ROBINSON"
He received the following reply:
"Dear Robinson: l am returning thu
lantern, but will you kindly send bacl
the parrot and It's cage you took ava,
with you last night instead OF YOU
lantern? Yours sincerely"

Not All So Harmless.

The part of Father Christmas may
be easily overacted, as certain town
councillor would be the first to admit.
He had been asked to take part in the
annual treat to the old folk at the To-
cal workhouse. Made up as the an
cient gentleman beloved of the chill
dren, he went, and for time his
pranks and antics delighted the COM
pany.
Then a scrap of conversation he
CHANGED to overhear scarcely added to
the worthy councillors enjoyment.
"Ain't 'e enjoyin' of hisselfT re-
marked one aged inmate to another.
"Wot treat it is for the likes o. he
But why can't they let all the loonies
out on a night like this?"
'Well," came the reply, "mebbe
they amt all so harmless as this'n."
