Overheard on the oiled road: What.

county engineers"
This is fine weather and the sleigh
ing is fine too. Many Of the boys are
taking advantage of it and are there
with bells and bellies.
If Francis Cole can enjoy skating
party without ice, he hasn't anything
on G. Monroe Ford. Francis at least
sits on the bank with skates on, but
G. Monroe doesn't go within mile OF
the ice, and just because he has a
pair of skates hitched to his H. M. T.,
has the nerve to announce that he has
been skating.
The Finley grange held installation
of new officers at the regular meeting
on the 9th. The night was so stormy
that no new members were initiated.
1t was decided not to call special
meeting for limitations, but later, ow-
ing to press of work for the 22nd,
it was thought best to hold such a
meeting, and the master has issued a
call for Wednesday, the 10th. U. S.
Case, master of the Pomona Grange
of Benton county, has been asked to
come down to show the new officers
the steps so they can lead the new
members a lively dance.
The grange will hold an old time
spelling match on Friday, January ID.
After everyone has bitten the dust
over asafoetida and charivari, the
evening will be spent in dancing and
games.
The grange lecturer has announced
tn following programs for the social
evenings: Jan. %, Hard Time Social;
Feb. 5, Pomona meeting; Feb. 18th,
minstrel show; Mar. 18th, Irish wake;
Mar. 81, April fool party. The dates
may possibly be varied little to ac-
commodate the Boys Athletic club, but
any changes will be announced at the
grange meetings and in this column.
One would think to see Francis
Coles head that he intended taking
holy orders.
Conversation herd at the Grange:
F. M. Cole to H. E. Cooper-"You
are getting a bit short on top, too.
You'd better try some of the hair vigor
Frank Lyons and use." Frank Lyons |
20 Cooper-"Yes, then you too can
wash your face clear to the back of |
your neck and can part your hair with
! towel" Goss to Lyons and Cole
If I were you fellows I'd use John
sons Floor Wax on my pate, and then
you'd never have to wash it; you
Gould dust it off with feather dust

It may be cold, but if you want
title comfort, call up Joe Gerards,
md he'll tell you how cold it gets back
n Iowa.
Is it Parent Teachers association
II just a Parents association?
Finley has poet. He has sent US
he following rhymes on the snow
which for beauty and range Of thought
ould hardly be surpassed. The au-
nor who is evidently keen student
f nature, is peace-at-any-price man
nd would not even fight in self-de-
ense, so we have thought it best to
eed his request not to publish his
