while we are all fond of Grand june
tion, we will take and keep every
thing good they send our way. Mr..
Galloway will have charge Of the
Iona Consolidated schools, and, judg-
ing from personal appearance as well
as good reports. it is safe to say that
the parents OF Loma's young ideas
may feel confident that the coming
school year will be as successful as
the past one was under the Burgess
Olds-Goltz regime, and one could wish
foI no more.
Friday night the Methodist Church
gave a strawberry and cake sociable
under the trees at the residence of
MI. and Mrs. Henry Geary. The time
was spent as pleasantly as was possi-
BILE under the circumstances, with
youth, happiness, merriment and
abundant appetite for dainties to help
things along.

mission work.

There isn't a lovelier place in the

tillers of the soil who look upon their
work and find it good. | heard some
/ one prophesy the other day that sew
1 era people would leave Iona in the
fall-that there would be general
exodus, in fact. But, of course. this
j was certainly only spoken in jest, for
i assuredly now is not the time to leave
when Prosperity and Good Fortune

was hardly worth the candle, and

a hospital. where she spent many
weary weeks and was finally sent
