Programs arranged by the school are always fine and we expect this to be equal to the usual high standard. - Teachers in both high and grade schools will spend their holiday vaca tion at home.

Mrs. Ernest Mauri taon and Mrs. Dan Malaer have been under the doc tor's care. Miss Lucille Craven, one of the inter mediate teachers in the Frankton school, left today for her home at In dependence, Ore., to spend Christmas with the home folks. Tomorrow is the shortest day in the year and it with two more days, and they are short, are all you have to do that Christmas shopping in. From a letter just received from C. F. Gray and famiy, old Frankton residents liv ing in southern Arizona, we learn that it hasn't rained a drop there in the past five months. We have made about a dozen inquir ies after news and the answers have all been, "Yes, it rained." We called up E. W. Birga, weather observer, and asked him how much rain had fallen and he said since Thanksgiving week about six feet no, inches, so it has rained some. Virgil Absten, who recently enlisted in a cavalry troop and was assigned to duty as broncho buster,breaking horses for the service, was thrown and very seriously hurt last week. His brother, Homer, is also a membr of a cavalry troop. They are stationed at Camp Lewis. We understand that when the county commissioners meet next week to con sider the budget problem for the com ing year that an effort will be made to have some provision made for getting the Hood River Volunteer fire company boys to and from fires that occur out in the country. Last year during the dry season they responded to every call and did splendid work in saving property menaced by forest and other fires. They are handicapped by not having any way to get to these fires. We hope that something can be done to help them to help others. The big Christmas Red Cross drive is on in Frankton this week. Chas.

We Need It While it is true we are at war, and both as a Nation and as individuals we are pledged to our last drop of blood - and our last dollar to win this war, and it is worth every sacrifice we may be called upon to make. . This is Our War because it is for humanity and Freedom against brutality, oppression and greed. Our country has ev er been champion for the right, and it is up to each one of us to do all in our power to prosecute this struggle to the end that right will triumph and brute force will be wiped out for good and all. At the same time there is no reason why we should ignore the Christmas Season. Christmas means a great deal to the World and to Each One of Us. Our Children Need a Merry Xmas and it won t hurt the old folks, so let's all get busy and spread the Christmas spirit as far as we can. The price of good cheer has not gone up; a pleasant word and a smile re main at the old prices; the supply is unlimited and there is no embargo on the distribu tion of these good things. Here is one line you are not asked to Hooverize in.

But I did not know Mr. Grampa was so high an authority. I thought nrohahlv hn had reference to the potatoes he bought in me upper vaney. nr. Mteuey bought about $22,000 worth of potatoes in the Upper Valley, and he told me he had nokick coming on grading and ouality. It is very.hard to grade when you have nothing to grade from.
