In behalf of those in attendance we wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. White for their hospitality. All declared that they had a fine time. While in Wheatfield the other day Hon. I. D. Dunn was accosted by two of the ultra important and asked if he wished to see a sight that would make a feeling of extreme humility attack him. Receiving an answer in the key of yes, they conducted uncle Isaac to the show window of the Fendig drug store and there in awful grandeur, was a collection of Wheatfield township’s best specimens of corn. After viewing it awhile, uncle Isaac exclaimed, '‘why, that collection ispretty good for your folks to raise.” The next day. he went out into the corn fields of a few of our good farmers and gathered a few of the me-dium-sized ears, and took them to the above named abode of the blest, and placed them in the Pinter palace of merchandise, as the representative colY lection of Kankakee tp. Uncle Isaac then piloted his two previous pilots around to the Kankakee department* and said: "Now look!” After a few minutes of silent reflection they uttered a few tomb stone sighs of distress. They saw the supremacy of Kankakee loom up before them. As they walked away they said something about ruling Kankakee tp., out of the contest, on the charge of it being a professional cornraising country. We wish to thank Uncle Isaac for the interest that he has taken in maintaining the supremacy of our township.
