WHEATFIELD WANTS SLOGAN

TOWN ASKS HERALD TO SELECT AN APPROPRIATE SLOGAN FOR THEM. Today’s Chicago Herald contains a letter from Dr. M. B. Fyfe, of Wheatfield, asking that the editor of that paper select an appropriate slogan for their, city, following the wonderful success that township had in raising a sum for the Red Cross fund. Wheatfield was asked to give $275 as their apportionate share. All Wheatfield did was to subscribe $1,600, or over five times as much as they were asked for. The town has also sent a large number of their young men to the army and navy and also have a number in the state militia. Probably no town of its size in the country can boast of such success in both the matter of raising money for the Red Cross and securing recruits for the anhy and navy. i The letter sent to the Herald follows: ■ Wheatfield, Ind., June 26.—(Special) —Here’s a little scoop. Wheatfield, called on by the Red Cross for $275, collected $1,600; largest individual contribution, SSO. Has sent fourteen boys to the front —army and navy—besides members of the state militia. Chicago has a mayor and “I Will” for a motto; we have neither. Maybe you could suggest a motto — we don’t want a mayor, for we’ve heard of yours. DR. M. B. FYFE. The Herald will leave it to their readers to provide Wheatfield with a motto.
