  Miss Patty Murphy of Davenport is spending the week end at home.
  The Richard Mincks family spent Sunday with the Charley McGavrans.
  The Paul Ervin family spent Sunday in Ottumwa with Mrs. Mary Ervin and family. They were accompanied there by Mrs. John Ponsetto, who went to see her husband at the St. Joseph's hospital. He has been confined there the past week for treatment and observation following an injury in the mine some weeks ago.

  Mrs. Lester King and brother, Emmett Stiles, have returned home from a week in Davenport with Mr. King and Delbert, Jr., and Howard.
  Because of bad roads in the northern part of the state, Mrs. McWilliams was unable to come as guest speaker for the W.S.C.S. last Thursday so no meeting was held.
 The next meeting will be an all-day cooperative dinner and meeting March 27.
  Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Gates of Chicago spent Wednesday at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Mike Ponsetto. Mrs. Gates was the former Olga Nobile.
