posite sex. The letters are address
sed to 8th grade social science class
es in other parts of the country and
every answer Harry has had, now
eight letters, has been from girl.
When questioned as to his secret
drawing power Harry says the only
thing he did in his letters was to
tell about his pets on the farm and
little bit about the fun that can be
had living here. He says that he
surely wishes that some boy would
answer one of his letters. 1t would
not be so bad to write to few girls
but to have it handed to you one
hundred per cent is too much, opines
Harry.
Two white baby rabbits were born
recently to the pet rabbit belonging

Stamp collecting still remains
probably the most popular hobby
among Bluffton young people. More
youngsters have been found engaged
in this activity than any other
hobby, according to survey made

Army food, altho not fancy, has
a way of agreeing with Selectee
Robert West, who has been with
| Uncle Sans forces since early last
summer. During that time the for

Bluffton hickory nut hunters, altho
not barred from many farms, prob
| ably would like to live in the vicinity
| of Archbold. Last week the follow
ing advertisement appeared in the
Archbold paper: Hickory Nut Hunt
| ing-Gates of the w. A. Leininger
farm on the Henry-Fulton County
Line Road, will be open to hickory
nut hunters on Sunday, Oct. 5, from
l p. m. to p. m"
And speaking of nut hunting,
there was more than the desire to
see old friends which brought Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Remde to town over
the past weekend from their pres
ent home in Chicago. During the
time he lived in Bluffton Jack spot
ted many favorite walnut groves.

coupe, parked in front of the house,
rolled down a hill and was wrecked,
because of the failure of the brake

bagged four on the Wilbert Schu-

prize flock. Wilbert and George are
cousins, or the settlement might
have come higher.

Van Wert's marching band which
played between the halves at the
high school game last Friday night
took two of Ohio States football
marches and one from Illinois for
their program. But what burned up

Carmen-Ohio States alma mater.
With all the music there is in the
