A quickly arranged surprise party
was given Mr. and Mrs. Jennings
Tuesday evening at their home. The |
party assembled at the postoffice and I
went from the *e to the residence. A
quiet discussion on school discipline
was first In older of events. Music j
wat rendered by Mrs. Jennings, Miss
Judy and Mildred while the entire
company sang. Popcorn and taffy
were successfully prepared and eaten. '
Mrs. McHorry died and was burie I

up.

Dorothy (slumbering) “Ah! well do
I remember, girls, when father used
to put me to sleep by tickling my
feet with a broom straw.”
It seems well to mention that a
wee bird told the editor that five boys
enjoyed many peculiar sights and
much feminine conversation Saturday
night. This does not insinuate that
boys would peek or listen to girls’ ex
clusive affairs.

It Is used throughout the east where

BASIN WATER WORKS
IMPROVEMENT
Basin is rebuilding her water works
and will have one of the best pump
ing and mechanical filtration plants
in all this western country when com
pleted. It is costing her about $68,-
000. What her citizens thinks of the
new plant can be seen by consulting
the letters of recommendation on file
with the city clerk o? Cody, or council
Read them.
The work Is being done by the firm
of Burns & McDonnell of Kansas City.
This firm as shown by The Herald
last week has also submitted a pro
position to the town council of Cody.
They have constructed about 225
similar public utilities in the U. S.
They recently completed one at Miles
City that Is said to be a model of its
kind and was built to meet almost
precisely the same conditions as exist
here in Cody.
The plant at Miles City cost S2BO,
000 and one at Cleburne, Texas, now
in course of construction by Burns &
McDonnell is costing $450,000.
Burns & McDonnell’s record in the
! U. 8. for this class of engineering
that is unbroken. They offer to fur
nish bonds that all of their work will
be as called for by their plans and 1
specifications. More than this their
bonds also guarantees that the plant
will deliver the goods as planned.

That Slumber Party.
Last Saturday evening several of
the High School girls with a few
others, were entertained at a slumber
party. They dressed clothes pin dolls
and afterwards held a mock wedding
with them. The varying dimensions
of the girls were displayed in showy
caps and kimonas which made the
sight more ludicrous. With lights
switching on and off all the white
creepy ghost stories were being told.
These were broken In upon by a dis
turbance upstairs. The girls flew to
the scene with screams of excitement
and in their haste put their ht?ads
through the window panes. They
soon discovered the cause of the
alarm as Dorothy said, “There was a
whole line of pickaninnies on the
porch roof.’’ At last in the wee /lours
of morning the magic elfs of Morpheus
retired to their own realms after much
labor exerted on heedless girls.
The breakfast table was tastefully
decorated in Autumn leaves and
fronds, with unique motto place cards.
It was noon before all signs of the
after which all dressed In masquerade
costumes. These were photographed,
the results being impatiently awaited
by both boys and girls. The occasion
was proclaimed the most enjoyable
of the season.—Mildred Robertson,
special reporter.

FOUSE’S JUDGMENT ON
PROPER RANCHING
“I would like to see.” said Chair
man Fouse of the county commission
ers “a crop like flax raised here In
Park county. It Is a crop that will
bring iii outside money, and that is
what our ranchers must do in order
to insure lasting and generous pros
perity. More wheat and more grain.
More feeding of stock upon our own
lands. There is no reason why every
rancher could not increase his acer
age in such crops each year and in a
few years the lack of ready cash
which so many say they now feel
would be not experienced.”

UNUSUAL NUMBER DEATHB.
Last week witnessed a larger num
ber of deaths In Park county than
have occurred for some time. The
names of the deceased were William
Rancher Decker, the little son of
Miles Decker of Paint Creek Valley,
who was drowned; the infant son of
F. F. McGee, the well known rancher
of the Greybujl; and Mrs. R. W. Hazon
of Powell whose remains were borne
to New Hampshire, her former home.
Not withstanding the number of
deaths physicians state the general
health conditions of the count were
never higher. It appears from state
ments made by doctors that excep
tional circumstances surrounded two
of the above deaths mentioned.

“Among them walkes
The blue-eyed Pallas, bearing on her arm
The priceless AEGIS, -aver fair and new,
And undecaying; from its edge there hung
A hundred golden fringes, fairly wrought,
And every fringe might buy a hecatomb.”
—The Iliad
Among the Insurance Companies of America
now walks the youthful vigorous AEGIS, ever
new and undecaying; frsm its protective shield
there hangs its fringe of many policies whose
value is not to be spent in buying sacrifices to
appease the wrath of gods but rather to furnish
protection to the widow and the orphan and to
rob old age of the miseries of poverty.
