THE PIG IS FOUND
Sam Kraus has a fancy thoroughbred Poland China pig that strayed away Sunday. After looking all over the neighborhood and all over his farm for it, he was about to give up the search, but yesterday he took a look down over his cornfield where he found it, about overcome for food and water. He carried it to the house and gave it water and food and the pig recovered quickly.

THE WHEAT
MARKET
At this time last week, the price paid for wheat in Wilson was 82 cents, and 82 cents is being paid today, too. However, the price has not remained constant during that time. Saturday the local wheat buyers were paying 74 cents. Farmers who sold their wheat for 96 cents or 98 cents a few weeks ago, are now being looked up to a being just a little smarter than the rest.

BLOW-OUT BREAKS
WINDOW
The blowing-out of a tire, Monday, was the cause of a broken plateglass window in the U. P. Garage. Eldon Lingo had just finished repairing a punctured tire and was bending down over the tire when it blew out, knocking a hammer out of Eldon’s hand into one of the large display windows. The hammer also took most of the skin off of Eldon’s knuckles. He says that he is glad that it chose to go through the window rather than into one of his eyes.

FOR BASEBALL
FANS
For those in Wilson who enjoy a baseball game, there is plenty in store on Sunday afternoon. At the Malir diamond, south of Black Wolf, the Black Wolf team will meet a Hays team. Dorrance will play at Susank at the Z. C. B. J. picnic at Kozy Korner. The Wilson ball club will play a return game with Gorham at Gorham. Wilson was supposed to play Ellsworth last Sunday but the game was postponed on account of a funeral. All of these games are with-in easy driving distance of Wilson and will give as many thrills to the fans as most big league games.

LAST BAND
CONCERT
Saturday evening’s concert by the high school band, under the direction of Bert Hostinsky, was the last for the summer. The concert was, in the opinion of many, the best of the entire summer. Their concerts, which have played in the city park have proved popular with Wilson residents and most of the farmers in the community. The concerts drew large crowds downtown each Saturday evening, both farmers and city dwellers.
