DR. CUPID ST. VALENTINE,
L. O. V. E., HEART SPECIALIST
.
Will hold a clinic Friday evening,
Feb. 6, at the Clifton High School
at 7:15. Bring your heart to be ex-
amined, regulated, stimulated, or ad-
justed.
Competent nurse and physician in
attendance.
This was;, the announcement re-
ceived by members of the Good Schol-
arship Club for their third meeting
of this year.
As there were nine new members,
Dr. Cupid, Raymond Pederson, and
the nurse, Mary Westgaard, were
kept very busy giving examinations.
Each new member was ushered into
a gaily decorated room where all of
the old members were seated. The
doctor discovered some of the ones
seeking admittance to the G. S. C. had
heart trouble. As each one’s heart
was in an unsatisfactory condition,
the nurse directed them to a table
where they were supplied with a
“Diagnosis Chart.” After the charts
were completed, they were submitted
to the “doctor’s advisers.” Then the
last examination was that of-taking
their temperature. On the wall was
a large thermometer made of white
cardboard; the members were blind-
folded and given a small heart with
a pin attached. The object was to get
as close to normal as possible. Some
of the patients were very nervous and
excited, as shown by their tempera-
ture which registered from 6 to 118
degrees. The two nearest normal were
Alvin Canuteson, who had a temper-
ature of 99 degrees, and Graee Me-

GETTING READY FOR
THE 1931 STOCK SHOW
- .
Bosque county farmers, ranchers
and business men voted to have a Bos-
que County Day and to send a large
delegation, probably more than 500
people, on a special train to the
Southwestern Exposition and Fat
Stock Show. The decision was made
at the Clifton Lions Club luncheon by
a group composed of two men from
each town and community in the
county. The meeting was held after
information was received that the
show had selected Monday, March 9,
as Bosque County Day.
A Bosque County Day at the Fat
Stock Show was requested by Bos-
que citizens after county newspapers
carried the information that 40 baby
beeves, 18 lambs, more than 100 head
of swine and large numbers of poul-
try and some dairy cattle were being
prepared in the county for the show
at Fort Worth.
Committeemen are working in eac
community in Bosque County, deter
mining the size of the delegation
from the communities, most of them
being of the opinion that schools and
business houses Nsjill close and that
500 or more people will take the spe-
cial train to Fort Worth for the day.
Officers elected to work toward a
successful Bosque County Day are:
Elmo V. Cook, chairman; E. B. Mc-
Neill, secretary; C. C. Cate, treasu-
rer, and Tom C. Parks and W. II.
Curtis, executive and finance commit-
tee.
Committeemen selected from the
various communities and towns of the
A
Spadden, with a temperature of 108jcount.v are: D. T. Poston, Mosheim;
degrees. These two were awarded|C. T. Knudson, Norse; B. C. Rogstad.
A BUNCO PARTY
On Friday evening, Feb. 6, 1931, a
bunco party was given at the A.
Reichert home in honor of Miss Lena
Reichert’s birthday.

tion which met with the Baptist i were played; after which the scores

J. R, Loper, District Superintendent

The “City Dads” of this little city
are doing some street fixing which
we think is a wise act. First, because
the streets needed it and then the
men who are doing the work needed
the work. It is using a lot of the un-
employed.
People are wanting to get in their
gardens, but it has rained so much
that it will be some time yet before
anything can be done in gardens in

could get in the garden.
