1878*

Harlow had to forego his usual summer sojourn on Cape Cod this season, but was able to go by auto to his son's cottage on Lake Ontario for a fortnight. He says his day to be up and dressed is 3:30 to 8 P.M. Hayt's tenant has been drafted, and he talks of selling his ranch and moving to Sacramento where he predicts a rapid rust- ing out, missing his diligent care of flower garden, horse, chickens, turkeys, and odd chores. But those of us who long since let go of accustomed duties can assure him that Satan, or perhaps a more benevolent Planner, will find either mischief or serv- ice for his idle hands. Simple existence de- mands chores, and he will find himself hustling to avoid falling behind. He says Mexican labor did not materialize as a sub- stitute for Japanese, and many farmers were driven to the wall; but all over the state high school girls and boys have done a good job picking grapes, prunes, pears, peaches and tomatoes, and school opening was deferred until crops were in. Fruits are being dried in the absence of cans. Among Parkhurst's many notable rec- ords is one of unfailing presence at Dart- mouth football games; but he is now re- tiring from that avocation, and the team henceforth will miss his robust presence and win-or-lose cheer The Parkin- sons will observe, but will not celebrate, the sixtieth anniversary of their . mar- riage, November 11 Mrs. Wilberforce Sully's address is 405 Fort Washington Ave., New York Tarbell spent the summer, as usual, at his old home in Wa- tertown, S. D., but returned to West Allis, Wise., to spend the school year with his teaching daughter.
