ing and singing are not necessarily
wifely accomplishments.
We repeat that Miss Iodoform is
accomplished. She can sew, cook, and
remake old clothes and trim her own
hats.
Miss Iodoform can make the finest
soda biscuits grateful guests ever tast-

house with odors. Miss Iodoform's
name probably has subduing effect
on the onion doors.
Family Reunion After Death.
An incident occurred in the Hay
Press office last week which mortified
US much. In writing Of the death of
/ Gene Graves, our pioneer tanner, we
closed the obituary by saying that he
/ had gone to meet his fathers, and so
/ headlined the article. Our foreman,
who didn't like Graves. had the audac-

one Of his own. TO our own and the

Gone to Meet His Fathers" he sub
stituted: "A Family Reunion in He'll"
An Old settler Didn't settle.
Gil Fish was elected president OF
the Old Settlers society at the yearly
meeting held in the opera house Thurs

us two years for a job printing bill OF
IS, which is getting to be an eyesorC
on our books. We wish Gil would set
tie it. The Old Settlers society should
bar or eXpel members who don't settl,
old bills.

Pete might have saved himself til
