ing for corn. Oats are up nicely and look good. Seems to be an extraordinary good stand this year.

FOUR CORNERS A. Duggleby pf Tefft is unloading two cars of fertilizer this week. John Fennel is marketing his crop of hay. Nice to have something to sell these days of high prices. John Allen, car distributor at Kankakee, was up between trains Saturday. John is surely holding dow'n his job. Elwood Gulbransen was at Wheatfield Tuesday where he had to call pn the car doctor. Elwood has his troubles as others do. ■_ Mr. Demarah of near Wheatfield has moved his family onto a farm near Columbus, Ohio. He, like the cat, will come back to Jaspe£\ again. The long-looked for rain that the

farmers have been wishing for to start the grass has arrived and the oats will be greatly benefited also. Ted Biggs, who is in the hospital at Chicago where he underwent an operation some ten days ago, is on the up grade now, and we trust will be home soon. Lee Noland and Sarah Burr, a child they raised, went to -Indianapolis Thursday where she will undergo an operation for tonsil and adenoid ailment. Allen Fendig of Wheatfield received notice to report at Rensselaer Saturday for final examination. Allen is one of the boys that we dislike to see go to the front. Mr. Hammerton has moved his family to Parr, where his wife, wq are informed, is again under the doctor’s care. His sale was a success as to prices, although the w*as small. The taxpayers are hotvling about, their taxes. An increase in the levy and a 40 per eent raise in valuations would make an Indian take the count. But, come to think of it, the g. o. p. has Jasper county by the ears. “Don’t rock the boat.” George Luse, who recently moved from Chicago to Wheatfield to be near his farm i.n Kankakee township, is setting out an orchard and making his farm put on a, new appearance. George is one of the live wires—he will never grow fast to a stump for want of action. He should subscribe for The Democrat.

Noland of Lee, Charles Whitaker and family of Hammond, Effie Fisher of Laporte, Orville Fisher and family, Warren Fisher of Wheatfield and David Wesner and family of Walker. John T. Biggs, Jack Smith and two hangers-on drove to Chicago Sunday to see Ted Biggs, who is in the hospital there. hJo, they did not have any trouble. The sun cracked the windshield and the walk of a couple of miles to Hobart fixed the tires, and all from there went well. Just a little slower, John. Simon Fendig and Bro. John of the Review have clasped hands once more. Bro. John extended the olive branch and Sim plucked a leaf. Bro. John says, “Take more,” and Simon took a firm hold of the branch and Bro. John drew closer. Soon their han’ds touched, soon the hand clasp and the kiss of brotherly forgiveness and “All is well in our beloved camp.” H. Remley next. Then, last but not least, comes Fisher, so we were told.

A letter from Princess Catherine Radziwell says that Sweden is practically cut off from the civilized world... For a month residents in Sweden were unable to Shnd any letters anywhere except to Russia and Holland, and during that time they had received only one post which came through Norway. She goes on to say: “My husband’s •youngest sister, passing through Munich, was arrested by the German military authorities in mistake for myself, and was nearly shot as the suspected author of my book, “Because It Was NVritten.” It would be inadvisable to tell you how she was saved, but she succeeded in escaping from the clutches of the Huns and is now in Switzerland. It seems that the Germans are greatly incensed by my description of the battle of Tannenberg.’’
