don't kick about now the country'S s
run and it was surprising how
many Bluffton people didn't know
where to vote and election day
brought reverberations of two years
ago when a voter fell in a precinct
voting place and damage suit is
| now pending S. two fires the past
| week-and they say fires come in
threes-wonder who is next and
| maybe we'll have some mincemeat
yet since raisins appeared on retail
grocery shelves after an extended
| absence and meat going into
cold storage in quantities against the
time when we'll go on rations i.
this tire situation is getting bad
car parked on Buttons Main
street since Sunday night with rear
fiat and don't wait too long
before getting your anti-freeze !.
and if you think the farmer isn't in
terested in voting, look at the record
Richland North made Tuesday.
Bluffton, known among the legal
profession as one of the largest
towns-if not the largest-in the
state without an attorney lost this
unique distinction this week when
Dan Tripplehorn opened an office
here. Tripplehorn, Button resi-
dent, practiced for many years IN
Lima where he was member of
some of that city's prominent legal
firms. He has had wide experience
in state and federal courts.
More than one farmer in the Bluff
ton district is laying awake nights
because he had bumper soy bean
crop. Yes, that's at the bottom of
the whole thing-altho it's not the
entire story. With terminal ware
house facilities filled to capacity
with beans, there is an embargo on
further shipments and it's up to the
grower to hold them. All of which
means storage space and it's a real
problem to get materials nowadays
to construct new storage bins. j.
Looks as if they're taking Bluff
ton for Santa Claus now" was the
comment of one town official as a
$4,000 damage suit was filed against
the village in county common pleas
court last Saturday, as the result of
fall in an election booth here two
years ago. This together with two
suits aggregating $4,000 for alleged
stream pollution makes a tidy sum
involved in litigation.

folks, says Postmaster Reichenbach
as the deadline came for mailing gift
boxes. However the weight limit
says the postmaster is eleven pounds

After one of the most hectic
Halloween seasons in years, the
youngsters of Bluffton have settled
down to the more mundane every
day routine.
Some of the town kids have beer
| getting a great kick out of farm
work. With demand for farm labor
| as strong as it ever has been ever
| junior high school boys are able tt
| get work with a pretty fair hourl!
scale. In previous years youngstel
couldn't earn much more than ;
dollar for a days work. Among th'
| junior high boys who have beer
working on farms during the pas
week are: Billy Haller who ha!
been driving a tractor for Olivel
Spaeth; ROLAND Luginbuhl who ha
been husking corn for Menno Burk
holder and Johnny Klay who ha
been picking up potatoes at Steine
Bros.
The town boys may be going t,
the country for work but Luke Luigi
bihl, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Luigi
bihl, goes to town with his dad OF
Saturdays to sell various kinds O
farm produce in house to hous,

Lima last Saturday." They sold q
bushels of potatoes, two bushels O
pears, FIVE bushels of apples and g.
gallons of cider. They came bacl
with everything sold except on,
