TEFFT.

Harry Lane says he would sooner be in the army than try to cut wheat. Such a mess. Grandpa Bill Davis is wearing a smile at George’s new arrivel. A boy. Everybody’s fine, too. Luther Albin and part of his family have left for the west and don’t expect to be back till fall. The ball game between Tefft and English Lake ended up with a rough house and never finished the game. The hail storm Saturday night cleaned up two fields of corn for Henry Floers. Just a narrow strip. If the weather stays fine the threshing crew will . start in on Thursday on rye, which is a good crop. John Finn, who is going to stump the township for Cox soon, might get cold feet after finding out how Harding stands. J. B. DeArmond is enjoying the road now with his new auto, but you couldn’t follow 'him on a bet. The steering wheel is loose. _ Martha Swing and Catherine Cullen got up early Monday morning and took the early train to where—someone will have to ask them to find out. Tokyo and Verna Duggleby went to Valparaiso Saturday morning with Chas. Stalbaum and brought Bertha back for over Sunday. Oh, them new shoes. ... - Walter Seegrist is feeling fine over his wheat crop, which is as good and better than lots of it. Good for Walter, as this is his first of Streator, is visiting Andy Kerr’s for a few weeks and also helping take care of that new arrival, who is a lively bird, they say. „ • , Fourteen of the Dugglebys and Miss Ribbands motored to Culver Sunday and it was surely worth while. Also several cars from Rensselaer were there. The water was fi “stanley Duggleby. a city boy who wanted the job of eggs, couldn’t find the eggs until they hatched out, and then couldn’t catch them. A joke on the city Jumber, who is Mrs. aunt, came out to visit the Ashers and took a stroke of paralysis and not any better at tins writing. She is over eighty and Jefferies and the rest of the neighbors are helping take care of the old lady.
