Just how would you feel if tor

pound cement block hurtled through

Well, if the experience of fam

DAMAGE TO CORN
NOT WIDESPREAD
Disposal of BIown-DOwn Stalks
Puzzles Farmers; Three
Courses Open
Crop Damage Confined to Small
Area; Wind and Hail
Breaks Stalks

What to do with the corn blown
blown down by the wind and beaten
by hail in last Saturdays storm is
puzzling farmers whose fields suffer
ed the heaviest damage.
Three courses appear to be open
where the crop has been damaged to
a serious extent.
In few cases farmers plan to cut
the fallen stalks and put them in silos,
feeling that ensilage will give them
the greatest value. Others will feed
damaged corn to feeder cattle, a prac-
tical way out, particularly for those
who are feeding livestock at present.
Some farmers, however, will leave
the corn as it is, especially in cases
where the stalks have not been too
badly broken, in the hope that the
crop may ripen despite the damage.
Damage to corn fortunately was
not widespread, being confined to a
comparative small area that bore the
brunt of the storm. Altho a few
farms have suffered heavy losses the
damage was not sufficiently extensive
to alter crop prospects for the dis
trict as a whole, and bumper yield
is expected this fall.
In last Saturdays storm most of
the crop in the damaged area was
blown down, and in other cases the
damage was caused by hail.

Lions Vote Support
For SeLUer Proposal

Bluffton Lions club voted unani-
NOUS support of the proposed muni-
cipal sewage disposal system at a
dinner meeting Tuesday night in the
Walnut Grill.
Sentiment of the club was in IA
vor of presenting a bond issue COW
ering the towns share of cost of the
program at the polls this fall, and
a committee was named to work
with the council in laying plans.
Mayor w. A. Howe briefly out
lined the proposal to the club and
reviewed an engineers report which
indicated that a system of intercept
ing sewers and disposal plant
would do much in eliminating the
prevalence of mosquitoes. Under a
WPA program the towns share of
the cost would be 25 per cent, the
mayor said.
Should a vote be taken this fall,
all arrangements must be completed
for submission of the bond issue be-
fore Sept. l if it is to be included
on the ballot.
Members of the committee named
by the Lions to work with the coun-
ell are N. E. Byers, chairman; A. E.
Lichtenwalter, Chas. Coburn, Elmer
Short and Z. S. Lape.
Reports on the Lions international
convention held recently in Pitts
burgh were given at the session by
Homer Gratz, Forrest Steinman, E.
S. Lape and P. w. Stauffer.
Conventions of the Lions are the
third largest in America, it was
pointed out. From the standpoint
of number attending, meetings of the
Lions are topped only by the Amer
lean Legion and the Shriners.
Next years convention will be al
. Havana, Cuba, and the island city
this year sent a magnificent float
for the parade which cost more
than $1,000.

Hogs Drop To FiUe
Year Lou OF $3.50

Hogs on the Bluffton markets
dropped Wednesday morning to the
lowest price in five years when top
prime offerings brought price of
$3.50. This is the lowest quotation
since 1884, dealers here stated.
While runs of hogs have not been
unusually heavy on the large mark
cts there is large quantity of stor-
age meat now on hand, it is said.
This situation, together with pros
pect of heavy marketing of hogs this
fall has resulted in sagging price
structure.
Lard prices which are considered
a barometer of the hog market have
dropped to five cents in the central
markets, it was stated Wednesday
morning.

new VOCATIONAL
COURSE AT \. S.
Two Year Program for Bows in
Trades and Industry
Adopted Here
Training Will Fit Juniors and
Seniors for Shop and
Electrical Work

Bluffton High school will include in
it's curriculum a two-year course in
vocational trades and industry when
school opens next month, members of
the board of education decided at a
meeting Monday night.
An instructor for the new depart
ment will be hired at special meet
ing of the board on August 81.
The vocational trades and industry
course will be new division of the
Smith Hughes vocational training
program. In effect it will serve as a
trade school for boys, in which they
will receive preliminary shop training
for machine shop and electrical work.
Preliminary Training
Purpose of the two-year course is
to give students a groundwork in ma
chine shop and electrical training pre-
paratory to employment in industry
following graduation. Subjects in
cludeed in the program will be shop
mathematics, blueprint reading, me-
chanicai drawing, etc.
Enrolment will be open to juniors
and seniors, and students must be at
least is years old before taking up
the work. The course will be open al
so to graduates of last years class
and graduates of neighboring high
school, without tuition, the board an
nounced.
One-half of the instructors salary
will be paid from state and federal
funds, and an adaitiesial per pupil al.
lowance will be made. The local
board will pay the balance.
Continue Industrial Setup
Preliminary training may be obtain
ed in the present industrial arts
course, which is open to the seventh
and eighth grades and freshmen and
sophomores, it was explained. This
course includes woodworking and
sheet metal work, but is not a part
of the Smith Hughes program. A. L.
Daymon is the instructor.
Adoption of the new vocational
trades and industry program gives
Bluffton High school three Smith
Hughes courses, Supt. A. ]. B. Longs
dorf said. The other two are voca-
tional agriculture classes for boys and
the home economics course for girls.
At Mondays meeting of the board
the practical value of such course
was outlined by F. E. Wenger and G.
H. Klay, representatives of The Trip
lett Electrical Instrument Co.

TORNADO LOSSES
ARE NUMEROUS
Many Insurance Claims Filed
But Most are Small: Heavy
Losses are Few
Most of Damage in Rural Area
Covered by Mutual Insur-
ance Associations

Damage in last Saturdays tornado,
which will run into thousands of dol
lars, is comprised almost entirely of
countless small Individual losses, it
was learned this week as insurance
men proceeded with an inventory of
claims.
The number of reports to insurance
companies have been large, but the
average claim is small, it was dis
closed. Adjustment of losses in the
town is being handled by local agents.
Losses in the country will be borne
principally by two mutual insurance
companies-The Mennonite Mutual
Aid Society and the Richland Town
ship Farmers Mutual Insurance as
sociation.
Two Major Losses
Two of the heaviest losses are COW
cred by the Mennonite company.
These include damage at the Santschi
farm south of town on the Dixie
highway were the barn and house
suffered and for which no estimate of
loss has yet been made, and also the
$4,000 estimated loss sustained in
damage to the Amos Thutt hay barn
at the edge of Bluffton.
Other amounts will be small, Off
cials of the Mennonite company stat
ed. The Mennonite organization has
more than 800 risks in force, with less
than 100 in the storm area.
Heaviest loss faced by the Richland
townhip group is that on the Aldine
and Cyrus Steiner farm, northwest
of town, where two silos were blown
down, with an estimated loss of 500.
On the w. A. Amstutz farm another
silo was wrecked. The Richland
Township association has some 460
risks in force.
With the exception of a few in
stances, a preliminary investigation
has indicated that claims will not run
run more than $50, with the average
less than $25. Most of the claims
will be for overturned chicken coops,
machine sheds, and for roofs damaged
by wind.
Neither company insures growing
crops which were extensively damag-
ed by wind and hail.
