At one time he engaged in ranching in the Cen tennial valley, selling his prop erty to retire about 11 years ago. After living in Monida five years, he came to Dillon in 1935. Mr. Duff was a member of Dil lon Elks lodge, No. 1554, which will be in charge of the funeral services. Surviving relatives in clude his wife, Belle, a sister, Mrs. Mayrne White of Seattle; a nephew, Bert Duff of Butte; sister-in-law, Nettie Duff, and Mrs. James Graham, both of Bil lings.

Dillon Rifle Club Holds Initial Meet For Coming Year Dillon’s Rifle club met for their first yearly session last night for the purpose of organizing for the coming months, the only business being the uncompleted plans for using the high school basement for a target range.

ON THE BIAS (Continued from page 1) Tuesday, Sept. 9: A man with seven sons already serving in the navy recently en listed himself. The only conclu sion to be drawn from this is that t what they say about the life of a sailor must be true. Science has given us high- powered telescopes, dynamos, radios and a lot of other handy things, but to date it hasn’t beety able to devise any improve ment on the old, indispensable diaper. The steel shortage has caused the navy to discontinue the issu ance of sabers to its officers. The passing of a picturesque tradition is to be mourned, but at least the officers won’t have to worry about tripping over their weapons when in dress uniform. * • • Wednesday, Sept. 10: A Los Angeles picnic was at tended only by persons more than 70 years of age.
