FOUR CORNERS. A number from Rensselaer attended Memorial day at Wheatfield Monday. Trustee Davis and Darker are doing some carpenter work for Powers, near the river. The Kouts stock shippers loaded a ear of mixed stock at Wkeatiield for tne Chicago market, Wednesday. Misses Clara and Edna Gulbranson oi Lacross, attended the Memorial exercises at Wheatfield Monday. Freeman, of near San Pierre, shipped a car of fat stock to the eastern market from Wheatfield Saturday. The Wheatfield Regulars cross bats with the Schneider team Sunday. The first game for Wheatfield; como and bring the price, or send it. The auto races of Tefft came off as prearranged, 1 the Jackson car finishing first, and with great shouting and waving of banners. The Ford quit cold.
Oscar Graves found a 4-inch cannon ball near the railroad track at Tefft Monday. As there was no sign of kraut on the ball, Oscar was of the opinion that it was on the way to, and not from, Germany. Some are wondering how it comes that the prosecutor is obliged to come so far away from the county seat to find a case or two where minors play pool. Wonder if he ever visited the pool rooms of Rensselaer in quest of victims? The river dredge passed through, the C. & E. I. railroad bridge near Dunn’s siding Sunday night, on its way down the river. The n-gh water caused by the dredge and the recent rains has driven the carp and dog fish up the ditches, and the odor of fried fish is noticeable.
George Byers, of Wheatfield, received a severe scalp wound Monday while passing under the river bridge at Dunn’s crossing; failing to stoop sufficiently, his head came in contact with the bridge, which resulted as above mentioned. After Dr. Fyfe made the necessary repairs George was as good as ever, although not quite as handsome. A number of farmers are replanting their corn and others will follow. The cold, wet May and high winds put the corn too deep for a good “stand.” A great many fields of wheat does not show the gain it should have shown for the month, while some fields have gone back. Today, Wednesday, it is raining again and the air is cold and not beneficial to growing crops. Raaseh, the Tefft pool man, has had a little experience with the prosecutor for allowing minors to play pool in his place of business. He has added to the school fund and to help defray the living expenses of a few officials of our county, hear fifty dollars. Hq was brought before the tribunal of justice at Demotte, and, after receiving justice, was told to go and sin no more.

The rains of last week raised the water in the streams and the first of the week there were quite a gooa many nice fish caught out of the ditches in different places, some as large as 10 pounds. Grandma Cox, who is living with her son, James, at Kankakee, 111., came over to her granddaughter’s, Mrs. Fred Iliff’s, at Parr, and all came up here and attended the Memorial service. The Memorial service held at the M. E. church last Sunday was attended by a good sized audience and the sermon, which was delivered by Rev. Postill, was very good, indeed. There were only four old soldiers to march to the cemetery. The rainy weather of last week called a halt on the cement walk building. S. C. Brockus and John Platt came Tuesday morning and made another attempt at it. but Wednesday morning it was raining again, so they had to “ring off.”

MEN LIKE CORN FEDS. Report Shows Fat Women Retain Husbands Better Than Lean Ones. The Chicago Bureau of Public Welfare has just finished one of those extremely modern investigations which promise a great deal and occasionally perform a little. This investigation tackled the question why husbands desert their wives. The answers obtained by assiduous inquiry are all entertaining and a few of them instructive. It is found that fat women retain their husbands better than lean ones, no doubt because they are less given to nagging. The lean and hungrylooking wife is at much the same disadvantage as courtiers of the same type. Husbands are like Caesar when it comes to preferences in the matter of rothndity and the equable temperament that goes with it.
Good cooks are also found to have a strong hold on wayward husbands, quite as one might have expected. Nor is there any great mystery in the revelation that sweet-tempered wives are less apt to be deserted than the cross-grained. These facts are fairly obvious without the aid of a scientific inquiry with its paraphernalia of clerks and specialists. The investigators also learned that children bind husbands to their wives and homes. We should suppose this might be true as long as there was food for their hungry mouths, but once the larder is empty it can hardly be conceived that a houseful of babies crying for bread is an incentive to martial fidelity. Even the charms of a good cook may fail to enchain the husband’s heart when there Is nothing for her to exercise her skill upon. Love proverbially flies out of the window when poverty comes in through the door. We dare say that this is as tfue in Chicago as elsewhere. If all workingmen had steady employment at living wages some ofthem might forsake their wives, but not many would do so.

The problem of loyalty to home and wife is economic at the bottom, like most of our other problems. Too much money destroys fidelity as it does the* other virtues. The want of money eats into the heart and conscience and blights the finer qualities. Those who really care to maintain the home would do well to begin by giving homemakers a chance to earn plenty of bread and meat. —Portland Oregonian.
