yields to treatment in very
few months. The permanent
deformities such as bowlegs or
deformities of the bone persist
indefinitely.
A protuberant abdomen is one
of the symptoms of ricketts,.
A special diet for ricketts, is
that which contains vitamin d,
which is found in cod liver oil
and fish liver oils.

America Need Not Fear Russia AS
An Ally, Insurance Manager Says

Predicts Crime Wave After
War; Also New Era in Air
Transportation

America need have no fear in hav-
ing Russia as an ally in this war, it
was stated by p. r. Marshall, of
Lima, district manager of the Mid
land Mutual Life Insurance Co., who
addressed the Bluffton Lions club at
the Walnut Grill Tuesday night.
The Communistic government of
Russia is not nearly as bad as the
press has described it and some re-
markable social advances have been
made in that country, the speaker
said.
Ambassador Davies has done a
splendid job in representing the
United States in the Soviet Union
the speaker said Some people have
criticised President Roosevelt for ap-
pointing Davies, man of extreme
wealth, to the Soviet Union, where
most of the wealth is owned by the
state.

BlufftOn Residents Buy Five Times
Average Amount OF War Bonds Friday

only 10 states and the District of
Columbia falling short of the as
signed quotas. Vulnerable Alaska
and Hawaii led all states in the sale
of war bonds on the quota basis.
In the stepped up drive in which
the Treasury Department has as
signed billion dollar monthly quota,
the state of Ohio has been assigned
a total of $55,151, 900 for the month
of July.
Some of the residents here have
stated that they were unable to buy
bonds in the amount of 10 per cent
of their income because of debts.
In answer to this, it has been
stated by Chairman Triplett that
most people have debts and are be-
ing asked to sacrifice a bit for the
present by buying a commodity that
increases in value as it natures.
Present Indebtedness will be moth
ing compared to that to be suffered
if the country loses the war, Trip
lett said.

WHEAT MARKETING
DROPS TO half OF
NORMAL VOLUME
Smaller Crop, Less Acreage and
Present Price Contribute
To Situation
Embargo Threat Recedes as
Sales Volume is Smallest i'm
Recent Years

Altho this week sees the threshing
season at its height, the volume of
wheat marketed here is the smallest
in recent years, dealers declared We'd
nesday morning.
Three factors pointed out as con-
tributing to the situation were:
Lower yield-Crop generally aver
aging 20 to % bushels per acre, which
is about one-third less than a year
ago.
Less acreage-Resulting from gov
ernmental policy encouraging reduc-
ton.
Storage grain-Much of the crop
is being held on farms in anticipa-
tion of higher prices.
Embargo Threat Wanes
As result of the decreased vol
ume of grain marketing, prospects of
an embargo which threatened earlier
in the season has been removed. In
fact dealers here said they have re-
ceived advices from terminal centers
that ample storage space was avail
able at this time.
With the market holding steady at
S10S per bushel, Wednesday morning,
producers saw little incentive to sell
and dealers estimated that grain
shipments for the harvest season this
year would be about half the normal
volume. To date about dozen car
loads have been shipped, principally to
the Toledo and Fostoria markets.
Local dealers who have ins past
years kept their places open nights
to accommodate the rush of grain
marketing have found this unneces-
sary this season.
Combining Nearly Finished
Most of the wheat crop earmarked
for combining was processed the lat
ter part of last week when dry and
hot weather which followed a long
series of rains, made conditions ideal
for this method of harvest.
A considerable amount of binder
cut wheat now in shock still remains
for threshing.
Prospects for oats are believed by
some farmers to be not as promising
as was anticipated several weeks ago
as heads are said TO be none too well
filled. However, corn, in view of late
start has made remarkable progress
and prospects are better than average,
as is also true of soybeans, forage
crops, tomatoes and pickles.
