This is the week of the glad hand
and it'll continue until after next
Tuesdays primary. funny how
the boys are all too busy to get out
of the Lima courthouse to see the vot-
ers except just before election. but
maybe better that way than not at all
good thing we have elections.
otherwise they wouldn't know their
way around the county. =. elections
are the privilege of democracy
which reserves the right to run them
in any manner they choose. :. to the
accompaniment of hill billy fiddlers as
is done in Texas or lambasting the
King of England as Big Bill Thomp-
son used to do in Chicago. !. anyway
elections are a great institution and
we're for them in spite of all their
faults. :. but just remember that it's
your duty to vote next Tuesday.
that's the primary. and you can't
elect better men in November than
you nominate in August all of
which brings to mind the late Jack
Hardy who used to remind the bows
that ''the Democrats will vote early
and often"
Our congratulations to Ed Reich
enbach and John Romey. Ed is
starting another term as postmaster.
He has developed a smooth-running
organization that is giving the pub
lie tip top service and the new build
ing, always spick and span is some
thing for a town of our size. And
John Romey who has been soldering
at Ft. Hayes will be happy to learn
that he can get his shingle ready to
hang out after the duration-for John
is one of the flock of fedgling law
yers who passed the state bar exami-
nation.
Bob Murray who is out on the west
coast helping Uncle Sans army to
lick the Japs must have a flair for
picking out letter-writing friends
anyway they say Bob received go let
ters in one days mail not so long ago.
Looks as if that might be record and
hope Bob has as much time to answer
them as Harold Balmer who is on the
east coast up in Canada. Harold
says right now there's nothing doing
where he is and time hangs heavily
on their hands. The boys would like
to have something in the way of books
or magazines to read, Harold writes
The light shower that passed over
Bluffton early last Thursday evening
didn't interfere in the least with the
annual lawn fete at st. Mary's church
And by the way that was the tenti
occasion of its kind and not once has
the affair been postponed because OF
weather. This, we think is really set
ting up a record-picking good wealth
er for ten consecutive years right il
the midst of the Thunderstorm season
We've been wondering how they do it

If you are contemplating travel tx
California-by rail of course-you
had better get your reservations il
early. If this is done, you will prob
ably get along all right-but these
last minute folks may encounter de-
lays so we are told by Mrs. William
B. Temple who dropped in Monday
Most Bluffton people will remember
her as the former Louella Geiger wht
lived on Cherry street quite some time
ago. Bluffton Collegians will recall
her as having written music for then
Alma Mater song.

Isaac Judkins Of the internal rev
enue office here Monday making one
of his routine checkups-this time OF

town merchants as rule are all hon
