wheatfield Miss Minnie Tinkham was in South Bend Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Jensen were Chicago goers Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wilmington ■were in Wanatah last Thursday. Thanksgiving here was faithfully celebrated by eating and husking corn.

The Misses Margaret Petit and Alice Meyers visited the Wheatfield school Monday. The grade girls of the domestic science class served dinner for their mothers Thursday. Mr. Sommers is husking corn for Salisbury and Payne. He is some corn jerker—can keep three ears in the air at once. Earl Mason, who used to be connected with the Click barber shop, is in- the land of Montana. He is enjoying himself immensely and is looking for a location where he can inhale the ozone of 40 degrees below zero weather. W r rite us. One of the most comical wagers we ever heard of was an election bet made by a Republican and a Democrat. To the loser the joy of eating a cat was the great privilege held up. , But we understand that the Republican, after much arguing with the Democrat, feasted on a pair of rubber boots instead. Wouldn’t that Democrat have looked manly eating a tom cat? The Northern Indiana Land company, which has bought back the land lately sold to a powder company, is beginning to make some much needed improvements. Preparations are being made to erect on the southwest corner of the land a set of buildings which, we understand, is to be the headquarters proper. The dredging of the river has reclaimed land that is covered with an alluvial deposit which will make it a corn produqpr. When this land was taken over by a powder company a few of our people wore rubber boots all the time as shock absorbers against a possible blow up of the mighty powder works, but all they did toward the erection of a powder concern was the erection of a fence post.
