Three BenefdctOrs
HOnored By College

Honoring benefactors of Bluffton
college, the athletic field, the chapel
and the reception room in the Mus
selman library were officially named
for the first time at the fall session
of the college board of trustees,
meeting last Friday on the campus.
In the future the athletic field will
be known as Cunningham field, in
tribute to the late N. w. Cunning
ham of Bluffton, who a number of
years ago donated a tract of land
now included in the present college
athletic field.
Ramseyer Chapel was the new
name conferred upon the chapel. A.
C. Ramseyer, of Smithville, member
of the board of trustees, was the
donor of funds used to remodel the
hall in 1940..

Book Exchange To
MOUe Next Week

Moving of the College Book Ex-
change, located in Bluffton since
1888, to new quarters in Toledo will
be effected on November 20, it was
stated by Edwin M. Reid, manager
of the concern. the first of the week.
Specializing as a wholesale jobber
to college and public libraries, the
exchange has been operated here in
quarters on the Bluffton college cam
pus. Between IL and ID college stu
dents have been employed by the
company during their operations
here.
Started in Toledo, the book ex-
change was moved to Bluffton in the
fall of 1888. Principal reason for
returning to the larger city was said
to have been the better transporta-
ton facilities available in Toledo.
Reid has purchased a Toledo build
ing which is being remodeled for his
purposes.

Private Ownership OF Farm Property Is
Foundation OF Democracy, Speaker Says

of land by the farmer is important to
the preservation Of wholesome rural
culture. Most of the city families are
dying out and are losing, or have lost
the ownership of the land. Most rur-
al families are surviving but only the
Amish and Mennonites and other rur-
al people with a familistic philosophy
are retaining the ownership of the
land to any considerable degree, DR..
Baker said.
Bulwark of Freedom
Land is the foundation of the farm
family and the bulwark of freedom.
When a man becomes dependent on
another man or corporation, or state
he loses a measure of his freedom to
say, do and act as he wants. The
farmers who own their farms are the
last large group Of really free people
in the nation, the speaker declared.
A plea that our rural religious folk
hold firmly to the institution of the
family and the freedom of their soil
was made by the speaker. Religion
is powerful cohesive force in holding
the family together as unit and as
such should be encouraged, the speak
er continued.
Every evidence points to the un-
stable character of urban civilization.
Rural culture, on the other hand, is
based on the virtues that made our
nation great and must continue if we
are to hold our place as the worlds
greatest nation, the speaker said IN
conclusion.

years president of the college.
A large oil painting of DR.. Mosi-

Stung by the realization that the

mourn her sudden death.
TIBETAN LAMA
Lobsang, who died, was a convert
ed Tibetan Lama. After spending 20
years in a Lhasa lamasary he be-
came dissatisfied with the ascetic
type of life and wandered about the
country for three years. Finally he
came to Lipu Lekh Pass on the bor-
der in 1928 and then down into the
Kali River Valley in which Dhar-
chula is located. Here he came in
contact with the Tibetan Christians
and completely forsook Lamaism and
embraced Christianity.
Ever since his conversion he was
faithful worker at the mission sta

betan language at the mission school

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday I spoke of the fact that
most fish Cbut not alb have scales
on their bodies Certain kinds, like
the bullhead and other catfish, have
no such covering, but the common
thing is to find scales on almost all
parts of fishs body.
Newly matched fish are without
scales, but they usually obtain some
before they are very large. Certain
kinds of bass have scales by the
time they are half an inch long. A
baby trout or salmon is almost sure
to be covered with scales by the time
1t Is inches long. In some cases
salmon and trout have been OBJ
served to obtain scales when they
are hardly more than an inch in
length
During the past so years much
st,&iy has been given to the scales
of fish. Men have looked at the.
scales under the microscope, and
have marked live fish, then put them
back in the water.
Some Of the marked fish have
been caught at later times, and
changes in their scales have been
observed. 1t has been found that
many fish tell their age by adding
rings to their scales.
The age of q tree may be told
by rings, and the scale offers much
the same kind of key. Yet the fish
scale adds more than single ring

Counting the rings on the scale
of a trout, I find that 10 of them
were formed in the. first year Of
the trout's life and IL the second
year. On the scale of q striped
