FRANKVILLE GOES OVER TOP.
Red Cross Auction Held Saturday
Was Wonderful Success.

Everybody will have to give it to
the good people of Frankville for
the wonderful Red Cross auction sale
held there last Saturday. To say it
was a success is putting it mildly.
They took in the huge sum Of
$625.6S which is certainly record
that they can feel proud of. The day
was extremely cold too, but the peo-
pie turned out in large numbers and
they opened their purse strings in a
most generous manner. Robt. Waters
did the auctioneering. Some of the
things sold were four pigeons, donat-
ed by Hartley and Elmer Peck. They
brought $11.25, and then were lib
Grated. A ladies hat, trimmed there
in Frankville for the occasion
brought $500 and an American flag
brought $500. Candy and pop corn
booths took in s25. Taken all in all
the sale was a dandy and the good
people of Frankville are to be highly
complimented, and it illustrates that
they are all highly patriotic, and up
holding Old Glory in the proper spir-
it.

Cousin of DecOrahian Mentioned for
Senator,


Ray Baker, Of Reno, Nevada, a
cousin of G. F. Baker of this city
was mentioned very favorably last
week for the United States Senate:
Ray Baker for many weary years
tramped the Nevada deserts with
prospector's pick and shovel in
search of silver and gold. He won
and lost many fortunes and became
the sort of a figure which carries the
lead in a six-reel western movie show
to perfection. Later he was appoint
ed warden of Reno penitentiary, in
PRODUCING many reforms. At times
when he was flush with gold dust he
c:rcled the world and is known to
many European courts; when he lost
his fortunes he went back to the des-
ert.
"His appointment as director OF
the mint placed him in the position
of having been at both ends of the
gold game-the mining with PICK
and shovel and the minting in coin
