f FOUR CORNERS Last week finished the wheat seeding in this-locality. Some will seed to rye a small acreage, and then what? Freeman, the stock shipper, was loading a car of potatoes, at North Judson for a party in Kankakee, Illinois, Saturday. The price was 90 cents per bushel. F. W. Fisher received a letter from his son Warren, now in eamp at Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who States all well; that he likes his new berth and is well saitsfied. William Fitzgerald of Tefft went to Chicago Thursday to visit Mrs. Fitzgerald, who is in a hospital taking treatment. She accompanied him home Saturday much improved. A new dishwasher made its appearance known at the Freeman home last week. No. 9, and the oldest is 13. Who careg for the high cost of living? Not the Freeman family. Those corn experts on frost-bit-ten corn should get together and visit the corn fields that received the blighting effects of the frost and try and adjust their differences of opinion as to whether the frost is beneficial or otherwise. Mrs. Frank Smith of near Tefft went to North Judson Friday to get some dental work done. The number of people from this locality that go away to get work of that nature performed could and would maintain a dentist at Wheatfield. Clarence Nelson, the mail carrier -out of Tefft, we are informed, has resigned and will find employment in a factory. We believe that Clarence has given general satis-1 faction on this route and believe he will make good in his new occupation, us write your sale bills for you this sale season. Better display, better publicity by having the notice .published two times each week in a paper that the sale goers read and which has a circulation that will bring results. Better bills for the same money or equal bills for less money. While Davis and Wells were filling the silo on the Fitzgerald farm north of Tefft Friday the ensilage cutter blew up and some of the parts were thrown to the top of the fifty-foot silo. Other parts of the machine were scattered around among the teams and crowd, but. fortunately no one was injured. Mr. Wells was feeding the cutter and can give no reason as to the causey but the effect could be seen scattered over the farm. That no one was injured is fortunate. He secured another cuttef and will finish Monday. On account of the scarcity of help T. F. Maloney will be the last to fill his silo; but this year better late than never. A few days ago T. F. received a letter from Pat, who is now in France, which stated that all was O. K. over there. He seemed anxious to mix up with the kaiser but expressed a doubt as to whether the boys would get the chance to mix in a clash with the Germans or not. Well, we hope that the boys may all be sent home without a mix-up. We are willing to give them all the honor for their loyalty whether they mix or not.
