We might apologize for the appear ance of this edition of The Wheatfield, but we have done the best we could and have printed all the live local news we could find. If those who complain would help us by telling of local hap penings that come to their notice we could get out a much more interesting paper. When one person has to be reporter, editor and devil, at the same time they are very apt to miss some of the society events. Form a basket; balance all! Whirl yer gals to where yo' found 'em Promenade around the hall! Balance to yer pards an' trot 'em Round the circle double quick! Grab an'kiss 'em while you've got 'em Hold 'em to it If they kick!
