BREAK IN FIFTH
Murray reported that the break in
the convention came on the fifth ball
lot, when the support of much of the
Dewey faction swung to Willkie, as
suring his nomination on the sixth
ballot.
Mrs. Murray, also long active in
Republican politics, is believed the
only Bluffton woman ever TO have
attended a nominating convention.

the New York Worlds fair, and

Former Pandora Resident In
Forestry Service Speaks Here

Ohio's forest problems were dis
cussed at a dinner meeting of the
Lions club Tuesday night in the
Walnut Grill by DR.. Oliver Diller,
associate forester at the Wooster
Agricultural Experiment Station.
DR.. Diller is a native of Pandora,
and was graduated in 1880 from
Bluffton college.
Ohio has 100000 acres of good
farm woods, DR.. Diller declared.
PROTECT TIMBER
If our stock of native timber is to
be continued into the future, it is
imperative that these woodlands be
protected from livestock, the speaker
continued. Otherwise young trees
will be killed, and our forests will
diminish rapidly.
Preservation of the woodlands does
not necessarily mean that none OF
the trees can be cut, but selective
cutting is urged by the Ohio forestry
department.
Under this program, trees removed

streets, always surrounded by
crowd. Spread-eagle oratory was ex-
pected and always was available,
following which the big baseball
game of the season was played.
In those days there were no auto
mobiles, so everybody stayed home,
and since the celebration was one
worth going miles to see, everyone in
the entire surrounding area came to
Bluffton.
EXCURSIONS POPULAR
Sometimes the railroad ran an ex-
cursion to Cedar Point over the
Fourth. These tours were so uni
versally popular that there seldom
were enough coaches for everyone,
and the aisles were jammed with
those who had to stand.
The moving finger of time, how
ever, has wrought changes in all of
this; and the hectic celebrations of
that other era now live only in the
memory of a few of the older folk
who recall when anything went" on
the Fourth, and safe and sane cele-
brations would have been hooted in
| to the background.

Old-fashioned, noisy celebrations of
the Fourth of July, with cannons
laundering at daybreak and giant
fire crackers roaring thruout the day,
remain only as a memory as Bluifton
this year rigidly clamps the lid on
the sale or discharge of fireworks.
This will make the celebration of
1910 in direct contrast to that our
fathers knew when the holiday was a
paradise of bedlam for the young
sters and day of uproarious enjoy
ment for the grownups.
Cannon roared salute at the
crack of dawn in those days, fire
crackers popped all day long, and in
the evening it was customary to
have gigantic fireworks display.
PARADEs COMMON
Parades were synonymous with
Fourth of July celebrations in those
days, and the line of march would
wind tortuous path thru packed
streets. In the professions were
gaily decorated pony carts, bands
white and blue costumes.

Powder Puff Vote Big Factor In
Political Conventions, Says 'Dode"

Political conventions nowadays
aren't what they used to be when
the proceedings were strictly a stag
affair, with only men in the delega-
tions.
That is the opinion of M. NJ.
"Dode" Murray, who returned last
week from the Republican national
convention in Philadelphia. Murray
hasn't missed G. O. P. presidential
nominating convention in 40 years,
and can be considered an authority
on them.
Women are assuming increasingly
important roles in the convention,
Murray declared, and every state del
egation includes a number of the
fairer sex.
MUST CONSIDER WOMEN
Like the barber shop and other in
stitutions at one time ruled by men
only, political conventions now have
had to adopt themselves to the in
fluence of women.
Nowadays it is nothing unusual to

SHAWNEE STATE FOREST

The Ohioan who enjoys camp
ing, picnicking or hiking in pri-
meval forests can do no better
than spend all or part of his va
cation in "The Little Smokes of
Ohio"
Rolling, hilly country, heavily
forested, deep, narrow ravines,
rushing streams, and a beautiful
lake, feature Ohio's largest forest
reservation, a combination of the
Shawnee State Forest and the
Theodore Roosevelt State Park
and Game Preserve.
These two reservations total ap-
proximately $4,000 acres, little
less than 20 square miles. Located
just north of the Ohio River ir
Scioto and Adams counties, por-
tions of Shawnee and Theodore
Roosevelt Park can be reached
over virtually any of the Fedora
and State Highways traversins
this part of Ohio.
Once a favorite hunting grouno
of the Shawnee Indians, this re-
gion is unlike any other portion o1
the State in that there is mile
after mile of forest, broken only
with an occasional patch of cult.

from woodlots always are replaced
by young stock, which assures a
perpetual supply.
SELEcTIvE CUTTING URGED
Woods that yield a good income
can be maintained under the select
i've cutting program. DR.. Diller
cited the example of one farmer in
the Bluffton area who has obtained
81 $50 from his woodlands during the
last 10 years, by following a select
i've cutting schedule.
In many cases where selective cut
ting is the practice, it is unnecessary
to plant new stock, for nature will
take care of the propagation in
most woods.
Ohio lumber is good lumber and ir
most cases is not at all inferior tc
woods imported from other states
the speaker declared. DR.. Diller told
of one hill-billy farmer in the south
ern part of the state who constructed
a $4,000 house for $1,015 by using
native poplar and black cherry tim
Der from his own farm.

Daughter Of Pearl
Watkins Visits Here

When an automobile with Wash
ington license plates pulled up in
front of his residence on Cherry
street last Sunday afternoon, John
Watkins was puzzled as to whom
his callers could be.
His puzzlement turned to surprise
when he learned the young woman
who stepped from the car was a
daughter of his brother, Pearl G.
Watkins, who left Bluffton SO years
ago to move to Washington.
In the western state, Pearl was
married and reared a family of five
girls and one boy. During the span
of more than three decades neither
John nor Bert, his brothers of this
place, have seen none of the western
family, and the visit of PEARLS
daughter on Sunday marked the
first contact since her father went
west
Watkins niece, Mrs. Duke Stein
braugh, and her husband had been to
Detroit to purchase a new automo-
bile, which they are driving to their
home in Klamath, Wash. They live
about six miles from her father, who
is located in Oregon City, Wash.
Enroute on their way to the west
coast, Watkins niece had planned Il
stop in Bluffton, but they drove
thru the town Saturday Afternoon
without identifying it.
In Lima, they visited at the hom,
of an aunt, and on Sunday they re
turned TO Rlnffton to see ITnclas Iohl

and Bert. They left later in the
same day on their return trip.
When he left Bluffton SO years
ago, Pearl was % years old, and he
never has returned from the west
coast since locating there. Prior to
leaving here he had served as book
keeper for the Scheid Plumbing Co.
and attended Bluffton college.
His daughter reported that he is
IN excellent health.
