has decided to play a lone hand against
Ben Rerendeen, rancker bent on rum
ming the cattle country his own way. The
two men have been enemies for years,
having first fought over Ciay's wife,
Lila, who died hating him and believing
she should have married Herendeen.
Morgan is solitary figure, devoted to
his nine-year-old daughter, Janet. Al
though two women, Catherine Grant and
Ann McGarrah, are in love with him.
they know he cannot forget Lila. OF his
former friends, only Hack Breathitt has
not gone over to Herendeen's side. Seen
camping with Pete Borders, a rustler,
he is fugitive from Herendeen's men.
Gurd Grant, Catherine's brother, hesi-
tated about joining Herendeen, but be-
came Morgan's sworn enemy when he
discovered that Catherine had been to
his ranch. When he learns that Heren-
deem has sent a party out TO find Rack
Breathitt and kill him, Clay starts out
to find him Grst. lie finds him at Free
port. Herendeen arrives, and there is
free-for-aII fight. RereHdeen's men are
driven on, but Hack is forced TO hide
in the hills. Clay is warned by Fox Will
ing, "nesteT" he once befriended, that
someone is stealing his cattle. Meanwhile
Hacks hiding place is discovered. Char
ley HilIhoase, Eerendeen's foreman,
rides into the "potholes" after him with
g party including Gard Crar3.

He was destined to be twice
president.
Grant was just another Ohio
boy. At Georgetown, where he
went to school, he was known
chiefly for his love of and control
over horses. Unenthusiastically he
went to West Point, and from
there to the wars in Mexico, and
then to the desolate, far-away
West Coast.
Sick of the army, he failed as
real estate salesman, farmer,
a business man. His destiny was
to win war, to save the Union.
Two terms he was president. In
1885 General Grant died.
In honor of his memory, his
birthplace is maintained as a mu-
scum at Point Pleasant. Here are
his cradle, his Bible, his West
Point trunk. In nearby George
town are other reminders of this
Chic boy who grew up to become
not only one of Ohio's, but one of
the nations heroes.

GENERAL U. S. GRANT
(1822-1685l

All eyes were turned on twc
men.
One, tall, dignifed, immacu-
lately dressed. The other. short.
stocky, businesslike, clad in a
wrinkled field uniform.
1t was moment which both
men had anticipated for years, and
at no time in their lives was either
man greater.
One was General Grant, a ma
tive Ohioan. The other. General
Lee, leader of the Confederate
forces. The place was Appomattox
Court House.
Lee handed his sword, hilt first
in token of surrender to Grant
With an impatient gesture the
token was refused. The Civil War
to all intents, was over.
"Disperse your men," Grant
said. LET each take his horse to
again till his land. Give each mar
provisions. The war is over"
Grant was on that day a great
man.
For four years and more he hac
fought, in the West, in the East

for carrying out the football sched-
ule this fall are fairly good, in spite
of wartime regulations. Of course
there may be lot of adjustments
necessary between the time these
notes are written and playing of
the games. Just to mention a few,
there's the matter Of transportation
and inroads of draft and enlist
ments on officials and coaches.
Fortunately, however, Bluffton's
schedule provides for only four
games out of town and distances
are not excessive. But basketball's S
another matter-there's lot of de-
tail to be worked out before you'll

The village of Gilboa may now
rise and take a bow-believe it or
not, Oscar Wenger who collects old
history texts has one which states
that Gilboa is the most fiourishing
town in Putnam county. The book
is nearly one hundred years old and
must have been written even before
the time it was generally predicted
that Kalida, former Putnam county
seat would be the metropolis of
northwestern Ohio.
If Uncle Sam has trouble in find
ing someone qualified to do any of
the dozens of specialized jobs in the
army he might try Roger Hauen-
stein, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Hauenstein, who went into the army
early this month and has already
qualified in three widely specialized
fields.
First he qualified for the signal
corps when he passed examinations
in radio and radio code. Being a
versatile musician he also qualified
for the band. However, the army
needed men in the medical corps
and because of his knowledge OF
pharmacy gained while working in
his fathers store here, he was as
signed to the medical detachment at
Bowman Field, Ky.
