HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

WHEATFIELD James Goin is -working for C. M. Dewey at this writing. Dooley & Son unloaded their new tractor at Zadoc Tuesday. C. M. Dewey was a business caller at Rensselaer Tuesday. Mr. Rice of Kniman and Ves Austin of Wheatfield are going to erect silos in a few days. Peter Dollinger was called to Wisconsin a few days ago on account of the sickness of his father. Quite a few of our farmers have filled their silos, while others will begin as - soon as their wheat is sowed. If you want to see a flying machine need as a disc and harrow combined, come out and see us some of these days. Henry Wagner is busy working on his farm these days. Henry 13 one of our retired farmers, which means he not only gets tired but re-tired as well. The county agricultural agent is sending out some official letters and circulars that are surely to the point, giving out information and timely suggestions which, if acted on, will surely be paying propositions. Read all you get and pass them on to your neighbor, thus doing your bit toward agricultural preparedness. We received a letter from Louis Misch Monday in which he said that they arrived at Camp Taylor Friday evening at 9:15- There were eighty-two boys on the train, representing Hammond. Williamsport and Rensselaer. They all arrived there in good shape and are all happy and in good spirits. The Benton, Newton. Warren and Jasper county boys are camping together. The executive committee of the Wheatfield stock show met at the town hall Saturday evening and decided to hold the stock show Saturday, October 20. A farmers* institute will be held in connection with the show, at which a speaker from Purdue will give a talk on some timely and the county agent and other local speakers will also be on the program for short talks. A. S. Keene will also hold his colt show on this date, so you see it will be a day crowded with interest. Come and spend the day. It will do you good.
