Last month was certainly a "Jonah" for the clerks In thls obice, for we had more "ups and downs" than our share: Some time the last of January. Bertha Arnold was,taken to the hospital. where she has been flghting a severe case of bronchitis: during the same week Myr- tle Vane slipped on a rug. in her home, e Mac would know and received a slight Injurl-, which kept dinary soap just her away from the office for several weyonrurllydirty days: February 7th. Helen Yakey. who has been away from the offlce for sever- al months, underwent a serious throat operation ; and . Evelyne Manning was conflned to her home lor several weeks with a severe cold. We are more than glad, though. lo report all four are now much improved. Our hearts all went out In sympathy to Maud Mills in the loss of her mother, Mrs. Isabella Mills, 76, who dled Jan- uary 27. at her home. Maud, who has proven a very dutiful daughter. was with her mothcr when she slipped away. All of us were greatly shocked to hear of the rather sudden death of Alfred Deckert, 33, Frisco machinist. brother of our Helen Deckert.
