FOUR CORNERS. John Shirer and Charles Peregrine were county seat callers Wednesday. The progressives of Kankakee tp., will held their convention Saturday. T. F. Maloney has purchased a new car, for campaign purposes, we suppose. Marion S. Davis and Henry Hunsicker are improving their farms by a large open ditch. Our rural carrier, clarence Nelson, is taking his vacation and Jerome is driving the route. A number of farmers are busy now putting up new silos which they will fill in'about ten days. R~y Derrickson and family moved to Plymouth the last of the week. He will farm his father’s farm near that place. Schools Of Kankakee township will begin Sept. 7. Louis Jones is bqsy putting the buildings in a sanitary condition. Walter Welker and family of near Kniman, visited Sunday with r. W. Fisher and made i pleasure trip to North Judson. The late rains have put the ground in fine shape for wheat seeding, and the farmers are busy getting the land in order. Gore, the hay merchant at Tefft, has purchaseu a Ford car. How this old world do move. Smart men change their minds; fools never. Louis Paulson, ex-postmaster of Wheatfield, will write insurance and work real estate in the near future “to keep the wolf from the door. ' William Fitzgerald, A. M. Turner, Dan Gross, George Turner, H. D. Turner and Sam Collins of Kanka-

kee tp., were in Wheatfield Wednesday on business. Lost, strayed or stolen—the popular baseball magnet of Wheatfield, late mis-manager of the Wheatfield Regulars. Report to Four Corners as we are desirous to employ him to look after the financial part of our fall campaign. At the regular democratic convention F. W. Fisher refused to allow his name to be presented for commissioner for this ..strict but later the county central committee took the right without his consent or approval to place it upon the ticket. Up to the last issue of the Review he had intended to decline the honor, but as the editor of the 2x4 publication has seen fit to help him in the contest he has concluded to let his name remain and take his chances with the balance of the democratic ticket. Louis Paulson, lata postmaster at Wheatfield, who turned over to his successor, B. F. Knapp, the office last Tuesday, will take a two weeks vacation. The new postmaster looks i> easan' through the delivery window’ when the patrons of the office call for stamps or mail. Imagine the contrast had the wind-jammer been successful in the late contest and the grouch w’ith the smile that never was there, made his appearance at the window when you called for your mail? May such a calamity never visit the town of Wheatfield. Bowie wants to know what Four Corners would have written about him had he been the candidate for commissioner of the First district? Well, now, really, we never let that thought enter our mind. For the showing he has niaue in conventions where his name was presented, has convinced us that very few people have any confidence in him, and so far as we know in all political parties there are men who have the principles of their party at heart and who would prevent the placing of names of men on the ticket in whom they could place no confidence. So the chances are so remote as to his name ever appearing on the ticket of any party that we withhold comment until the unexpected happens.
