One prominent city member of the
hettledrum corps. when greeted by
country sister, said this was an un-
usual pleasure, as we rural residents
are SO "spinflickety" city folks can't
get near enough to get acquainted,
and this is no doubt true, because we
are so busy getting ready for rainy
days that never come in this para
disc of valleys that we forget common
ciyility and then blame others who
take time to enjoy life. because we
are obscure
Rev. Shattuck spoke his appreeia-
ton OF the presence of the piano in
the parlor and wished It could re-
main and be a magnet to draw young
people together for the long Sunday
afternoons. Before the kettledrum
was over Mr.. NJ. \. Hale guaranteed
Its rent for a whole month and was
greeted by yells that would have done
credit to winning baseball game.
Blanche Mcclure is visiting her
cousin, Katherine Buck, and going to
school together.
The Fruitvale Mothers club met
with a large attendance in the base
ment new room. After all business
and minutes We're disposed of Miss
Mary Jaquette gave an interesting
discourse on Domestic Science, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Stout on Flour,
which proved a very wet product
though appearing dry" Mrs. II. G..
Kettel, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. s. S. Mar
shall. Mrs. Il. E. Jincks and Mrs.
Morse took part in the discussions.
and all voted unanimously to bear ex-
travagant charities till their piano is
paid for. The annual field day which
last year assembled over 800 on the
campus, will soon be held, and each
| family is asked to bring a lunch
and cups. The club will furnish
coffee and sugar for all. Games and
an impromptu program in which all
will be free to speak, Will occupy
most of the time.
The kettledrum given by the coun-
try women of the congregational
church who are scattered between
Palisade and Fruita, brought out over
| 100 guests. Cream from Pomona,
mingled with that from no. tn, south
and east of town; doughnuts made
by Miss Barnhart We'd with those
from East Grand avenue, and chick
en- pie was left enough for another
| festival. The tables were artistically
adorned with chrysanthemums by a
committee, under Miss Margaret
Hale. The country girls were train
ed to their offic> as waitress, and all
were served like clock work. Rev.
and Mrs. Shattuck sat together at
the head of the middle table. Mr..
| A. b. Campbell led Off in after sup
per speeches. putting all in merry
humor, followed by the pastor, whose
wit soon took serious turn with
practical plans for continuance of
such getting together. A piano was
rented by the class taught by Mrs. IL.
b. Jones and all adjourned to the
parlor, where Miss Louise Langland
presided. and all joined in songs
never heard in church before, even
| Miss Lindley and Prof. Cole of the
| high school forgot their dignity and
sang with the most reckless.

beets.
S. b. Moffitt's pet dog will always
run on three legs because some boys
poured oil on him and set 1t ablaze
one Sunday. We need an all day
Sunday school and truant officer to
round up the attendance, and officers
# the humane society for teachers.
Porr little Sport is a pitiful object,
and insists ON following his master
now as before misfortune overlook
him that sad Sunday.
