WHEATFIELD BOOSTERS WILL BE HERE THURSDAY.

Improvement Association of Hustling Town Wfll Make Auto Booster Trip , To Several Towns. Some time ago Wheateld organized the Wheatfleld Improvement Association. Its object is to secure advantages for Wheatfleld and northern has on hand an effort to secure from the C. & E. I. railroad some sort of passenger service and a petition Is being circulated and signed all along the route asking that at least one passenger train be put on between Lacrosse and Good land. The petitions will be filed with the Indiana Railroad Commission. While petitions have been circulated for some days, the members of the association have decided to make Thursday a big closing day and will form a booster'; auto excursion out of Wheatfleld, stopping at all points between Wheatfleld- and Goodland and returning home by way of Remington, Rensselaer and Kniman. The party will be at Goodland for dinner and present plans are to reach Rensselaer at about 5:30 or 6 o’clock in the evening. A petition has been sent to Rensselaer and will be presented to the merchants and business men, asking that adequate train service be enforced. As persons traveling between Rensselaer and the north part of the county are now given great inconvenience, the installation of a train on the C. & E. I. that would make connections at Fair Oaks, with Monon trains would jprove very convenient and every person in Rensselaer should join our northern neighbors in their effort to get this service. The Wheatfleld boosters will “doubtless be here in goodly numbers and a hearty welcome should be extended to them. -
