, FOUR CORNERS William Jeffers is again transporting the schoo) children. Orville Fisher was a business caller at Lacross Tuesday. We had a nice rain Wednesday forenoon. Corn Is doing fine but it will take 10 days yet for It to be out of the way of frost. Schools are getting under headway with indications of a successful year. The political meeting at Wheatfield Monday as well attended. The political situation in the northwest Is quiet as to national, but redhot locally. All from whom we could get an expression believe the league of nations will carry. F. W. Fisher returned from his trip to the Yellowstone park Satur-

day night. He has gained 10 pounds in weight and is feeling fine. He left all the old Jasper county people well and all doing well. R. E. Davis & Son, who operate the garage at Tefft, suffered the loss by theft of 17 tubes Monday night? The thieves cut the boxes in which the tubes were and after taking them out replaced the boxes. No clue to the petty thieving. We were disappointed in William Fitzgerald withdrawing from the race for commissioner, for the reason that he was and is one of the best business men of Kankakee township and a full-blood Democrat. Outside of township pride, they could not h:\ve filled the place more satisfactory to us. A poll taken on a train between Galesburg and Chicago, where each one gave his home state, showed five votes for Cox and two for Harding from Indiana, seven votes In all being cast. The man and his wife who voted for Harding and were seated Just ahead of us, and who saw them write the name, had the unmistakable stamp of the Kansas brand upon them. Every negro porter on the train voted for Harding and we heard one say that 5-6 of those in the smoker voted for him also. We went to the smoker and took a look and drew a sigh of relief to know that we were not classed with such a bunch. We should have liked to have taken a few of our g. o. p. friends and pointed out to them the class that were blindly following their candidate.
