just throws them out of his mind

It's surprising what this can do for

the college Vespers, the high school

gave nine commencement addresses

THE STORY SO FAR: There's going
to be war in the cattle country, war be-
tween the big ranchers like Ben Heren-
deem and the little fellows. Clay Nor
gan is an important rancher, but he
doesn't like Herendeens methods and
doesn't hesitate to say so. A solitary
figure who cannot forget the wife who
died hating him, Morgan is devoted to
his nine-year-old daughter, Janet. He
has brought her into town with him,
where Ollie Jacks, rustler, is on trial
for stealing Herendeens cattle. Jacks
Is freed by the Jury, but as he steps out
onto the courthouse steps everyone
knows he is dead man.

Cherry picking in May is unusual
but it happened in Bluffton, Sunday
when John Blome picked several
quarts of dark red sweet cherries

sugar rationing this year, sweet
cherries will be in big demand.
When Millard Oberly moved into
the Mrs. Gid Locher house on
Cherry street Monday, it was more
than just an ordinary moving of a
family from one house to another.
Four generations of the Oberly
family were involved in the transfer.
Along with Mr.. and Mrs. Millard
Oberly came his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Levi Oberly and LaDonna
Oberly and Millard's grandmother
Mrs. Peter Oberly, aged 96 and one
of the Oldest residents in the Bluff
ton district. The fourth generation
of the Oberly family involved in
the moving are the children of Mr..

of three boys, Kenneth, Robert and

Comes word from Donald 'Buddie'

looks as if there might be a goodly

roses and peonies in full bloom.
Hot, sultry weather with tempera-
lures hitting tops in the upper
eighties and frequent thunderstorms
and more blistering sun has made
ideal corn growing weather-with
just one minor distracting detail
about one-third of the corn is not
yet planted.
Oldtimers are quoting the time
worn rhyme, which experts say
about sizes up the situation correct
ly in regard to loss per acre of late
corn planting. 1t goes something
| like this:
"A bushel day
Is the price we pay
For planting corn
After the middle of May"
However, on the brighter side of
the situation remains the fact that
the enforced late corn planting this
year may materially lessen corn
borer damage.
The midsummer weather of the
past week has put the Buckeye

drove more than 800 miles from
Springfield, H., where he is employ
ed to spend the weekend at his
home. Accidents, however, were less
numerous due to slower driving
speeds generally and emergency tire
repairs along the roadside were not
uncommon.
And speaking of driving speeds
C. w. "Cy" Newman of Washing
ton says that a steady 40 miles pei
hour gets you places about as soon
as the old type of driving intermit-
tently at 60. He should know since
he and his wife, the former Bertha
Roethlisberger, Bluffton native, drive
out here every summer to visit at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Jesse
Bracy and family. They are here
this week. Newman says that with
gas rationing in the east one must
save up his regular allotment for
weeks in advance before starting on
long trip.
Wartime restrictions on motorists
however, are too severe to hazard a
cross country auto trip from Cali
fornia, writes Mrs. w. B. Temple of
Monrovia, remembered here as Lou
ella Geiger. Expecting to drive east
this summer, she writes that the
plan has been shelved for the dura-
ton. Her son Kenneth who was
graduated Wednesday from the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles
will enlist shortly in the army offic-
ers training corps.
If you're in a hurry, take a plane
and it doesn't take long-and saves
tires, too. Mr.. and Mrs. James
Basinger flew from Nashville, Tenn.

the week end here. 1t takes little
over two hours by plane from Nash

Hard liquor drinkers were dealt

Price Administration authorized a
boot in practically every item on

The prices 60 up November /
as result of increased federal ex-

Price Administrators Leon Hen

amount of the tax per glass on
draft beer is too small to pass
on to the consumer.
The $1-per-barrel tax increase
on beer will come out of your
pocket only on the bottled variety,
with the retailer adjusting his
price to the nearest cent on single
or multiple bottle sales.
If the increase amounts to ~
cent per bottle, it would be 1-cent

liquor TO a straight drink at the
neighborhood taproom is going up
under OPA's formula for passing
on TO the consumer The higher
tax.
Bars are authorized to increase
their prices for the usual 2-ounce
jugger of 90-proof domestic dis
titled whisky by 3 cents per
straight drink.
Straight liquor is the only type
of hard drink at the bar or restau-
rant which is under March price
ceilings. Cocktails and highballs
are not under price control. Prices
of the latter will be boosted by
the retailer according to the in
creased cost of the ingredients.
OPA officials stressed the fact
that the increased excise tax on
'packaged domestic whiskys will
be. based on PROCTOR alcoholic
content. While the raised levy
on 100-proof bonded whisky will
be 81 a gallon, il will be only
$3.50 on 90-proof whisky and
$l.60 on the S0-proof brand.
Distributors were cautioned to
note carefully the proof content
of the liquor and to mark up their
present ceiling prices only the ex-
act amount of the tax. Buyers
can make an automatic check.
lOPA pointed out. by remember
ing that less alcoholically potent
! liquors will bear less than the 81
tax.
