crop in the Mennonite colony. Beans
and peanuts are also raised by the
farmers of the area. Most of the
crops are exported to different coun-
tries but recently Paraguay has es-
tablished price control for crops
which is making it increasingly diff
cult for the farmers to obtain a
normal profit.
TROPICAL WEATHER
The weather in Paraguay is fairly
uniform the year around. The nights
are usually cool and possibly two or
three nights in a year the tempera-
ture will fall to the freezing point.
The temperature always rises during
the day and there is no occasion for
furnaces or the heavy clothing of
the colder climates.
Asked what he thought of the
cold winter weather of the United
States, Harder stated that he had
been accustomed to the colder eli
mates in Germany and Russia.
STRONGLY NATIoNALIsTIc
The newspapers of the country
are strongly nationalistic and gen
orally anti-German but not necessar-
lily pro-United States. There are
many evidences of American capital
in the country's industrial develop
ments and United States is thought
OF as a very wealthy country.
The harbor of ASCENSION was
built by American capital; the street
cars and utility companies are gen
orally owned by United States com
panies as well as numerous indus.
trial establishments. The govern
ment of Paraguay also has borrowed
millions of dollars from the United
States for the construction of roads
U. S. PRODUCTS
Many products sold in Paraguaiar
stores are manufactured in thu
United States. The largest stores
however, are owned and operated by
Germans selling mainly German pro
ducts, Harder pointed out.

Returning on the same boat on
which their wives and families came
back to America last spring, DR..
Lloyd and Flyod Pannabecker, Men,
monte missionary workers in kai
Chow, China, will sail from Shang-
hal on the S. S. President Cleveland,
Thursday, according to cablegram
received in Gibson City, ILL.,, by Mrs.
Lloyd Pannabecker, Saturday.
Mrs. Floyd Pannabecker residing
on South Lawn avenue received the
word Monday from Mrs. Lloyd Pan
nabecker. On the basis of previous
sailings, the boat will probably ar
rive at San Francisco early in
October.
The liner is part freighter and
carries only about $50 passengers.
Since there has been a need for in
creased passenger transportation ia
cilities the passenger list in recent
crossings has been nearly double that
figure, Mrs. Pannabecker pointed
out.

Palm of Victory

The palm is a symbol of victory
and was adopted by the early Chris
tians to represent the triumph of the
faithful over the enemies of the soul.
1t is the special badge of martyrs,
and the Congregation of Rites, 1888,
regarded the representation of a
palm on a catacomb tomb as proof
that a martyr was inferred there,
but this was later declared unten-
able. The palm tree gives shade
and fruit and hence is emblematic
of Gods protection and grace.

Americans are true. An automobile

of Bluffton would be virtually un-
known, it was pointed out by Hard
er. Roads are bad and gasoline
costs SOC a gallon.
At Bluffton college Harder will

quired subjects for the four-year
course.

Bumper Corn Harvest Is Under
~. Way On Bluffton District Farms

With the first corn cut last week
in sandy soil areas, a bumper har-
vest of the crop will be under way
in earnest within the next few days.
Corn prospects are the best in
many years because of a hot, wet
summer that provided ideal grow
ing weather for the crop.
Several fields were harvested last
week, and on other farms unripened
corn was being cut to be used in
filling silos for winter feeding. Corn
fires quicker in sandy soil and the
ripened crops were harvested from
fields of that type.
Cutting of the crop win continue
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1941-09-11

until early October, according to
farm observers. If there are no
killing frosts soon, the harvest will
be slightly later than in normal
years. This is attributed to rainy
weather of the summer, resulting in
a longer than usual growing season.
With the fall harvest season here
and fall planting of winter wheat,
barley and rye in the offing, many
farmers in the area are faced with
the problem of finding help.
The farm labor problem is becom-
ing serious because of the defense
program and the induction of farm
hands into industry and military
training.

Allen county draft calls between
