WHEATFIELD.

Mrs. Allen is getting along nicely now. * . . ... Mrs. Henry Wagner is visiting relatives and friends in Chicago. AH'of our threshing machine men are moving right along with their work. Yes, we heard about you proposing to that girl. Her mother couldn’t keep still. ■ „ Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Meyers were dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Millers last Sunday. , • . Our school teachers, who are attending school at the Valpo- University, visited home folks over Sund&y. * Shorty Davisson has joined the

Brewer company of stone haulers. They gave him all the degrees the first day. A fellow, the other day said he didn’t think much of that, By Bert Vandercar fellow. Well, well, the poor cuss must think he is a shooter of heavy opinion. If your shoes gets a little old and does not come up to the hundred per cent grade in looks —paint them a pea green and you can out shine any lady at Newport. One of our main items of last week was for some reason or other, put in the discard. Our items are all trumps and should be played. Mike Misch," one of our popular young men, is pouring coffee for an engine, close to Rensselaer;, In other words he is water boy on a threshing outfit. Lou’s luck at the bat also brought in the score that gave them the nightmare of defeat. The wheatfield Regulars were in good form and played with old-time vim. The score was 2 to 3 in favor of the Regulars. , ; , Say, Fanners —why don t you get together and organize and hold a big farmers’ picnic some time this fall and make it a real, live, plenty of action, affair? You can count on us to do all we can to push it along. . ~ Shorty had a great time cranking the crank of his cranky Ford last Friday. He is thinking about putting a tongue in his’ auto and hitch mules to- it. It will work Shorty, for a Kniman man tried it and succeeded. Lest you forget, remember that the large crowds that come to our town on band concert nights are attracted by the band. The hoys deserve good support and should have it. Other towns would be glad to dough- up liberally for such a musical organization. If you appreciate the drawing power, of a good strong band, show • it.
