Bluffton farming land is in the
center of rich sugar beet belt and
is ideal for the production of the
crop, Glen r. Larke, of Saginaw,
Mich, editor of the Sugar Beet Jour-
nal, said in an address at the
meeting of the Lions club held at
the Walnut Grill.
Agricultural experts recommend
that sugar beets be grown in a ro-
tation of crops. If the fields are
scientifically planned, according to a
rotation scheme, sugar beets can be
a very profitable crop.
Ohio is an ideal state for the pro-
duction of beet sugar, the speaker
pointed out. The largest continuous
area for the production of sugar
beets in the entire United States is
located in this state. There are
100000 acres in the territory suit
able for beet cultivation.

When Terry and Carey offered
their services as mediators to the
little group who seemed to be lead
ing the attackers the proposal was
rejected at once. The Diamond Re-
verse B superintendent was not in
favor with the peoples party, even
though he had escaped lynching by a
narrow squeak. Lane Carey had
always been liked by the settlers,
but he too had signed the telegram
asking for the soldiers and was tenn
porarily under suspicion.
"We don't aim to do any mediat-
ing," Lee Hart sneered. Were fig

Russian armies, hoping that mill
tary defeat for the Red Army may
bring about political disintegration
within Russia itself and a swift COL
lapse of all resistance. 1t is by no
means impossible that the Germans
may yet achieve this object, but time
is all important to them and already
there are doubts as to whether, even
if they now go on to comparatively
quick Eastern victory, they have not
already lost so much time and
suffered such severe losses in men
and material as to deprive them of
the possibility of resuming their
offensive against Great Britain this
year. On the whole 1t does not seem
that this corner has quite been
turned, as yet.
Probably the Germans could still
do an about face if they can dispose
of Russian resistance within the
immediate future, but certainly they
have not much more time in which
to do so. The less their chance of
doing this becomes, the more prob
able becomes a typical German
attempt to win by political means a
victory they could not gain by mill
tary means-that is, a peace offen-
sive shrewdly timed to coincide with

or imply a forthcoming envelop-
ment of the Russian right flank.
Farther south the Germans do
not seem to be advancing seriously,
and the rather loose talk of "break-
through operations which appear
in German communiques and news
dispatches seems likely to refer only
to generations of the Russian out
post zone. There is as yet no in
dication that the Germans have
succeeded in penetrating the main
battle zone of the Russian defenses
in this area. But if the Russian re-
ports of a 19-mile thrust westward
from Rogachev are true. and
especially if the further claim that
this counterattack is still making
progress is confirmed, a consider
able German retirement on the
front between the Dvina and the
Dnepr may become necessary.
This, however, is what might be
called in some circles a very "iffy"
proposition, and must await further
and fuller information before any,
thing definite can be said about it.
On the Kiev front German claims
to have reached the city or even
reports that street fighting is in
progress seem to have been aban-
doned under the pressure of subse-
quent events. There is in the re-
ports from this area a hint that the
Germans effected a real break
through with, their armored ele-
ments. but the Russians claim that
this advance could not be supported

sian effort could continue to stem
the German advance. The classic
moment for counteroffensive

decisive moment at the battle of

culean efforts-contrived to gather:
and more, as to whether they could
give their countereffort sufficient air
protection to enable it to deliver
its stroke with adequate forces.
Now the counter offensives have
appeared-three of them, one in
each main Russian sector of the
battle front, the sectors commanded,
respectively, by MarShals VoroShilov,
Timoshenko and Budenny. These
counterstrokes are acknowledged by
the Germans, and they appear
to have checked German progress
in all three sectors. 1t Is, how
ever, not yet certain as to whether
they have obtained what might be
called decisive results If they
spend their force without inflicting
really crushing losses on the Ger
mans, especially in armored troops,
so that the Germans, having de-
feated them, can quickly resume
their advance, but little will have
been gained. Much, therefore, de-
pends on the sustained striking pow
er which the Russians have been
able to put into their counterblows
and the skill and determination
with which these have been driven
home. We should know the an
swers to these questions within a
comparatively short time, by the
criterion of what the Germans are
able to do
Leningrad Endangered.
On the face of things as they now
appear, Leningrad is in a position
of considerable danger. 1t is men
aced by the German thrust north
ward from the Dvinak, which is re-
ported as being east of Lake Peipus;
it is likewise threatened by two
German Finnish operations, one to
the south and one to the north and
east of Lake Lodoga. In all cases
the terrain is difficult, especially
for mechanical movement across
country. 1t must be remembered
that Leningrad was originally built
by Peter the Great on piles and
made land in the marshes of the
Neva River, and the vicinity is de-
cidedly marshy in character. The
fall of Leningrad. were it to occur,
would be a serious blow to the
Russians because of the loss of the
city's industries and because of the
moral effects, but its actual effect on
the military situation would be
largely predicated on the ability of
the Russians to get the defending
troops away without losing a large
part of them or of their material.
If the strong line of the Stain Canal
between Lakes Ladoga and Omega
could be made good. the loss of
Leningrad would not necessarily
entail any serious military reverse,

been nipped of by Russian counter
strokes.
The evidence appears to favor the
theory that the Germans for the
first time have been compelled to
deliver a series of frontal assaults
on a defensive position organized
in great depth which they could not
outflank as they did the Maginot
Line and the Greek defenses of the
Struma, and that it has definitely
slowed them and compelled them to
put in reserves to a considerable ex-
tent. There are reports that divi-
sions are being called into action
from France and Central Europe.
AS the German position in the west
weakenS, SO increases the opportu-
nifty for British countermeasures. If
we now see series of British raids
being delivered at the coastal areas,
we may be pretty sure that Hitler's
Russian eXigencies have compelled
him to weaken himself dangerously

to air forces. The Germans have
repeated claimed that the Russian
air force was out of action, and
there is little doubt that they ex-
pected to dispose of it quickly. Yet
they continue to report Russian air
activity and Russian planes de-
stroyed, while there is evidence that
they have been compelled, under
the smashing blows of the Royal Air
Force, to transfer squadrons from
their eastern to their western front.
If this process keeps on, one of the
chief German advantages-that of
superiority of the air-Wili tend to
be more and more reduced, with
greater and greater facility for the
Russians in contriving counter

for world dominance.

from Mrs. Mary Heen, residing
near Dennison. Sheriff Lenus o.

AS he reached forward and tapped

ditch bank, Johnson's jaw was
fractured badly and he was taken
to the hospital.
