NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS ITEMS

WHEATFIELD Mr. and Mrs. Ira Clark spent Christmas at Kersey. The general thaw is a boon to those who still have corn to husk. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Frost are visiting friends in lowa at this writing. Yes, we raise black foxes, too. If you want anything of the best brand come up, Joseph Hickam, who has been on the sick list for a few days, is a little better at this writing. An uncle and aunt of Ezra Whitehead from Illinois visited with him. and family a few days before Christmas. John Clager is hauling out foundation material for the new house on the Land company, im-. mediately north of the Mutchler farm. Everybody up here feasted on the fat of the land Christmas. Turkey, goose, chicken, with a large array of trimmings, were on the menu card. It looks as if we are going to be obliged to carry over a large number of marriageable young men for the 1920 clearing sale. At that time we hope that a strong demand will entirely clear the slate. Masons of Wheatfield and v/cinity gave a banquet at the Masonic hall here last Wednesday evening to their families and they also installed the officers for the incoming year. It is needless to say that a grand charge all along the line was made on the eats. Fred Whitehead, who clerks in the Remley general store here, was presented with a seventeen-jewel gold watch for a Christmas present by his employer. Fred is a wideawake boy of the No. 1 brand, so this token of esteem is enjoyed by his friends. . Congratulations, Fred. Mrs. B. F. Funk, mother of Mrs, H l . E. Remley, who visited here a few weeks ago before her departure for California, died in California a few days ago of cancer trouble. Upon her arrival in California she was not feeling well and at once began to fail until her death. She has two daughters there, at whose homes she intended to spend the winter.

FOUR CORNERS J. Monlanka, who sold his personal property, will move back to Chicago. Leroy Noland of Lee is visiting his daughter, Mrs. F. W. Fisher, this week. No uncommon sight these days to see a car standing along the highway or in the ditch. Harry Gr.lbransen is packing his goods, preparing to move to Wisconsin the first of the year. Charles Peregrine’s new house in Tefft is about ready for occupancy. The heating plant was installed last week. The new school house at Tefft is nearing completion, and by the time the frogs remind us of spring we will dedicate. Elmer Hunsicker, who is attending school at Bloomington, came home for a change and to eat a Christmas dinner. The Wheatfield merchants enjoyed a good Christmas trade. Most of our people remained at home and near the fire. The extreme cold of the past two weeks gave way to a thaw, followed by a heavy rain Tuesday and the snow disappeared fast. The election of road supervisors was generally well attended and more than usual interest shown, and in some places the contest did not end with brotherly love. Treichel, the Tefft merchant, who has been sick since November 1, is again able to be about. Dr. Stewart of Monon has been giving Mr. Treichel medical treatment with gratifying results. Clarence Nelson was called to Lowell Saturday by the death of his wife’s father, Mr. Collins, of near that place. Walter and Gil-

bert Seegrist took Mr. Nelson’s place on the mail route during his absence. The picture of Santa with the inscription, “Give the Devil His Dues,” decorates the window of the man who never smiles —our friend at Wheatfield. Now, really, we were under the impression that the devil got his dues on November last. On last Saturday Wheatfield was crowded with cars and teams and on the streets, in the business part of town, was not less than a dozen small boys with sleds hitching onto every car or team they could. That there was no one injured or killed was a . wonder. Why parents will allow their children to do this, or the marshal of the town, seems strange to us. Wheatfield can boast of a number of good business enterprises but no single business venture has placed Wheatfield on the map as has the electric light plant, and Mr. Hamilton, who made the venture, risking every dollar he had and with comparatively no one to encourage him in the venture, labored on with a determination that acknowledged no such word as fail, and from a few lights at the first of November has Increased 'until now every business house in town has lights installed and 'the greater number of the residence owners have put electric lights in their homes. Now, at the beginning of the second year this enterprise of uncertainty has become a paying proposition and goes to show what a progressive and enterprising business man can do if he has the determination and grit. 'About the time this enterprise was started the Wheatfield Booster club was taking the count, and all the encouragement Mr. Hamilton received was from a few Individuals. And, today, had it not been for his individual and progressive spirit H heatfield would be plodding along in the shadow of the old street lamps.

Xmas day was fine and everybody enjoyed it, even the mail carriers filed out heavily ladened with all kinds of mail. The most enjoyable thing on the road was a nice big chunk of roast turkey and equally good eats, which always accompany such occasions. The Christmas exercises at the Christian church were the best in our town for a good many years. The scene of the Christ child, the star of Bethlehem and the wise men were exceptionally good. Everybody enjoyed the exercises immensely, after which the children received their Christmas treat.

Peanut crops in Maine are rather unusual, as the Kennebec Daily Journal observes, but Mrs. Mildred Simmons of West Farmington bas a crop that proves her ability as a farmer.

NEW YEAR’S EVE CAKE.

So excellent is the German New Year’s cake that it cannot be used for a charm, like the New Year’s eve cake of Ireland, for this was thrown against tiie wail and was broken into pieces. The first fragment to touch the ground was eagerly sought, for he who ate it was sure of a year’s happiness. There was much pleasure iu the baking ol the cake. It was placed on a gridiron before the open fire, and incantations were sung to secure the success of the charm. Iu many countries the baking and eating of New Year’s cake have been attended by quaint customs and beliefs.—New York Times.

WILL THE BLONDS DISAPPEAR?

“If you aro a' 1 - blond, you belong to (lie best people in the world, but it’s all over with you! Your forebears committed the inistake of intermixing with inferior brunettes, and as a result the great qualities of tlie blond race, which gave the world tiie highest type of culture, have been sadly undermined. The complete triumph of the brunette is '•fore-shadowed, especially in the United States.” This is tho gloomy future ahead of blonds, according' to Madison (’.rant in “The Passing of a Great Race.” Th© yellow and red. heads were doomed anyway, bnt the European war has hastened their eventual extermination. For, says Mr. Grant, it is (tie Nordic ldond clement that tends to make the greatest sacrifices in war From earliest times, the Nordics invariably came as conquerors into the countries of brunettes, only to allow the brunettes to conquer them by assimilation. Blonds were born to be aristocrats and rulers. And when certain brutal necessities forced them from time to time to wield the ax and follow tho plow, they simply could not endure the strain. So the blue-eyed Nordic giant of tin- North died, and left the field to liis inferior, the native brunette. Mr. Grant doesn’t leave a molecule of hope for American blonds either. What with the immigrants and t lie negroes, and the loss of the best, breeding stocks in the civil war, fair hair hasn’t a chance of surviving another century. Lawrence Huyler of Yulan, New York, age 00, is learning to operate an automobile, whieh was giyen to him by his son as at birthday present. It. is the first automobile lie ever rode in.

Automobile Prices Soaring Prices on all materials that enter into an automobile s construction have advanced from 20 to 50 per cent during the last few months. Most manufacturers have already advanced prices or have announced their intention of doing so. The Ford Motor Company as usual are the first t° lower prices and the last to raise, but the tremendou s increase in prices of all articles used in the manufacture of cars is beyond the control of man. Present prices of ford cars are still in effect, but aie not guaranteed against advance for a single day, nor will orders be accepted for future delivery at the present prices. If you intend to buy a FORD in the spring, by all means, BUY IT NOW. W. I. HOOVER, Rensselaer, Indiana.

It: you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired, dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don’t experiment. Read this twice-told testimony. It’s Rensselaer evidence - doubly proven. .Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vino St., Rensselaer, says: “[ had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins that I could not sleep well. I felt tired and worn-out when morning came. Tho kidney secretions were highly colored and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally used Doan’s- Kidney Bills, procured from B. F.
