MAIN STREET G-O-S-S-I-P Some of the old-timers . . . well, Dot too old-timers but say those folks who lived around North Liberty back in 1915 or ’IC can do a mighty good turn to a couple of nice folks in South Bend if they can put on their thinking caps and come up with the right answer to ' the question . . . Might even save ; a serious family quairel and gosh, who knows what that might load to in these days. But it seems that Mina Weaver ( Johnson and her husband, Don 1 ‘.Johnny” Johnson, have been hav-1 ing an awful argument about some-1 ancient history around the old home town. Now you wouldn’t think they cared a darn about the ' whole matter out, really, folks, ।

it’s very serious with them! Don’t know what ever brought I the subject up for discussion bel tween these two nice folks, but you know what? Don mid Mina have been arguing about a certain date when some First flyers came into ’ town and took folks up in the air lat a dollar per minute ride. Don says it was some First War barnstormer ,an Mina says, “ ’Tain’t so, it was after that there war, and 1 know because I was a little girl still in high school, and that was before the war." Now, who can help these folks I out, and settle their dispute for ' them? Was this before or after the I first war? Mail all repies to Vo i Mainstreeter and your names will ।be kept secret . . . maybe. Anyway, what do you think? We can’t find it in the NEWS files. | Cot any idea how many is 370 dozen? Especially when they’re donuts. Well, the good ladies of 'the E. U. B. church in Walkerton । went on a donut making spree , the last couple of weeks and boiled I out 160 dozen holes surrounded by dough one week and so many folks bought them and wanted more that they repeated the business last week and sold 210 dozen more holes surrounded by dough! Got forty cents per dozen, too! Some of the gals said they’d rather do that than have a chicken pie supper, onlv, personally, my own self, we’d rather settle for the chicken pie! | Sec where the powers that be have decided to let the ward politicians take the ever-ten-year cen- 1 sus in Indiana, instead of the school teachers, at ten bucks per diem. You remember what a good job the teachers did during the war with the ration books, and some government fellers thought it would be a good proposition to hire the teachers to take the census this year 1 during the i r Spring vacation. Thought the results would be more accurate and more satisfactory. ' But county chairmen couldn’t see it thataway. After all, politics is politics, and lets keep up the back scratching business, I Heard of a fisherman out at Koontz’s Ocean last week who wont out in his boat and without baiting a hook, casting a fly, or reeling in ' a line, came home with two nice I bass! The things just jumped into i his boat . . . almost. Didn’t have ! to use the MILOBSLICK method of rowing to shore, pulling the critters behind, either! Nice folks, these Mr. and Mrs. Birdsleys, Eiast Enders at the Oceanside, who fish for the fun of it and help other folks have fun by giving them fish. .Thanks, Folks! i "Sr ~

I In testing several varieties of • winter wheat in Illinois in 1947 r and 1948, Royal wheat out-tested ■ both Fairfield and Vigo, and had a i higher test weight than these two I leading varieties most widely used - in Illinois in recent years. . 1 Mr. Wood stated that ho is con- • vinced that Royal wheat will do ’ equally well in Indiana. Only three ’ other Indiana farmers were por- ■ mitted to grow Royal wheat this s year.
