BY AdeIeine III. Sperry.
Mrs. Ira Dudley and little daugh-
ter Marcia. left Sunday night for
Grand Junction here they will remain
for several days before proceeding to
] Winfield, La, to visit with Mrs.
remain in the junction this winter
in the employ of the Sugar company.
Mat Nelson will be in the Junction
for the best part of the winter in, the
offices of the Sugar company.
Mr.. and Mrs ID. B. Bird and son,
/ Bailey, and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Sperry and little daughter, Rose
mary, called on Mr.. and Mrs. w. E.
Leavitt in the Junction Sunday.
While on their way to take dinner
at Mack Sunday evening S. G. Nc
Mullin and party from Grand juno
tion, in Mr.. McMullin's car, were
mired at the side of the road coming
/ into Iona and were not releaved for
about two hours. Charlie Parker,
with his strong right arm and
team of horses finally pulled them
cut and they went on their way very
happy and hungry. AS is always the
case a good many spectators drew up
/ in line to view the misfortune and
4 proffer advice. Mr.. Winfield of
/ Grand Junction was there on his
motor cycle built for two, with Mrs
Winfield tucked away in the cunning
/ little pocket at the side and with
them on another motorcycle was dark
haired. dusky eyed Florence looking
very chic in red velvet riding suit
and saucy cap, and with her was a
good looking blonde young man wear
| ing red G.. ]. sweater Shorty OF
Fruita was there and Shorty's dog
I-unhandsome but faithful-and a
little boy with a cold looking nose.
Sayles, the silvery tongued, was there
and with him tall, thin, facetious
man, with a feather in his button
hole; there were others there but /
don't know just how to describe
them, and everybody was telling ev-
erybody and Mr.. MoMullin just how
he could get his car out of the mud
but no one offered to help him do it
with the exception of Mr.. Winfield,
who did some hefty but useless pry-
ing with a fence rail. 1t really took
| Charlie Parker to get them out. as
everyone knew from the start it
would.
Mrs. Sanford Hoodehpyle and Mrs.
/ w. e. Leavitt were the guests of
Mrs. Frank Sperry at the Rosemary
Friday.
The Betty Ross club was enter
tanned at The Rosemary Friday af-
/ ternoon. The ladies were gowned-I
but never mind, history Just keeps on
repeating itself.
Iona is noted. among other things,
for its very pretty school teachers.
Misses Price and Crosby spent Sun
day in Grand junction.
II certainly pays to advertise. Last
week ] advertised our grasshopper
automobile and 22-year-old colt for
sale and they were both sold by the
| following evening. A man in Grand
Junction bought the blue grasshop-
per and kind-hearted man in Fruita
bought the colt 1t is true he took
1 1t out and shot 1t as soon as he saw
it but 1t all simply goes to prove that
n well-worded advertisement in a
leading paper is bound to prove irr-
esistable.
Mrs. d. b. Bird royalty entertained
the Betty Ross club Tuesday after
noon. A most delectable lunch was
served in the pretty dining room,
which is separated from the living
room by very imposing colonade.
Mrs. Bird entertained on Tuesday in
stead of on Thursday the regular day
as one of the members had an en-
gagement with her dentist on Thurs
day. Wasn't that nice of her?
Speaking of dentists. l went to a
dentist in Denver once for treatment
and nearly had nervous prostration.
He was an oldish sort of man with
a long nose and he had dreadful
cold and had left his handkerchief at
home. He placed me gently in the
torture chair. placed a rubber dam
in my mouth and proceeded TO bust
ness | wanted to offer him my hand
kerchief but didn't feel that l knew
him well enough and so there | had
to sit at his mercy, with my mouth
open, stunned, paralyzed, fascinated.
l kept saying over and over to my
self. %. rubber dam, rubber dam,
rubber DAM 1t was the only relief
| could get and IL helped some.
