Sterrett’s son, who has been very sick, is better at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Grover Stembel and son took supper at the Dewey home Sunday evening. William Stump, our hustling mason, has moved onto a farm south of Wheatfield. James Goin has purchased a fine cow and calf. “Uncle” Jim is getting to be a real farmer. Charless Hewett bought another horse Saturday. This gives him a matched team of young horses. Quite a few here are through plowing for corn. This cold weather is surely an ideal time for heavy plowing. When a Lady gives a young man a special invitation to a pie and cake eat, you can safely put it down that she thinks he is O. K. The Zadoc school, which was taught by Louise Lake, closed last Friday. A fine program was rendered, which was greatly appreciated by the patrons present. All were pleased with the work accomplished during the term. If you want to see some of the best wheat in old Jasper, come up and take a look at the wheat in the vicinity of Wheatfield and Zadoc. Taking into consideration the exceptional hard winter on wheat the outlook is surely very pleasing. The Wheatfield school will close Friday after a very successful term. In all departments of the school good work was done, thanks to the efforts of the able teachers. Welcome back next year, and until then, we wish you all good-bye. Wheatfield is doing its share toward the raising of a large army. Russel Hickam, Frank Ferguson and Dee Dunn have gone, and Dick Bowie, George Williams and Allen Fendig are going Thursday. Others expect to go later. We are surely sending a fin® °f boys. The telephone meeting held at Wheatfield Saturday evening was not as well attended as it should have been. It was called, for the purpose of meeting a practical telephone man, who was thinking about buying the system. Quite a few of the business men of the community were in attendance, but brethren of the town failed to appear. Even those who were to be the main factors .at the meeting were out of .town. It seems to us that a good, up-to-date, progressive telephone system is needed and it surely would be used by the business men of the town as well as- the country. As the system is for sale and has been for some time, so we are informed, why not aid in getting it into the hands of pasties-that will further develop it.

Tefft Sunday. Some talk of reporting one or more of the parties. Dr. Solt’s new house at San Pierre is assuming shape, and eoon from the ashes of the old a new and more modern home will arise. Clarence Nelson, our rural route carrier, who has been working as “sub.” in the Chicago postoffice, is once more on the job,, but is expecting a call at almost any time. John T. Biggs, accompanied by Dr. Fyfe, went to Chicago Tuesday to bring from the hospital Ted Biggs, who was operated on for kidney trouble some three weeks ago. Ed Lambert and F. W. Fisher were busy Tuesday buzzing their winter’s wood. Conditions have changed and we may have winter all the year around, so “safety first.” Farmers are holding off planting corn on account of fertilizer and cold w.eather, but planting will become general next week if weather conditions permit. Nearly all of the breaking is done. Elwood Gulbransen is having all kinds of trouble with his horses this spring. Dr. Dawine, V. S., Of North Judson has taken one home for. treatment; three others are sick and the first of the week his, other team ran away, tore his disc to pieces and one of the horses was almost ruined by being cut by the disc. =

< Cfie Most Beautiful Car in/lmerica The Final Test of Quality

It is a matter of record in fifteen of the principal cities that Paige Used Cars bring a higher price—proportionate to first cost —than any other American automobiles. And here, after all is said and done, is the final test of quality. A Used Car has been “t hMbugh the mill.” Its motor and all of its working parts have been subjected to constant strain. Its “finish” has been knocked off —if it will come off at all. Its gears, its rear axle and its transmission have endured the punishment of day-in and day-out pounding. All of its weakness is plainly evident and likewise its strength. The Used, Car either stands before you a broken down, dispirited “has-been,” or a strong, robust champion of many battles —ready and eager for all the service that man can give it. That, we repeat, is the final test of quality. 7 In this test the Paige stands supreme. After fifteen twenty-five thirty-five thousand miles of service, there is still

Frank and Trulley delivered a mare purchased from the former by F. W. Fisher last Friday i and visited over Sunday, returning home Monday forenoon. They formerly lived with their father on the DeArmond farm, seventeen years ago, and were surprised at the marked improvement in this part of Jasper county. Since Mr. Henry of- Valpafraiso. .obtained an option on the hotel and unloaded it at a profit some of the wise ones at Wheatfield, we were informed, secured an option on the White telephone lines, pushed the price skyward and then looked for a victim. They thought they had found him and after driving him around the country and feeding him on the fat Of the land until they thought they had him strung, but some one “leaked” and the fat was in the fire/' The intended victim turned and left the trio cold. For further information ask those interested. j
