Coffee Sufficient to Supply
World for Two Years
Burned Annually
Best Grades Retail for Seven
Cents Pound; Potatoes are
Luxury

In the United States partial war
time rationing has been applied to
coffee while Brazil is burning an
nually a surplus large enough to
supply the whole world for two
years, Homer Moser, agricultural
missionary to Brazil, reported during
a visit here this week.
Moser's picture of the vast sur
plus of coffee in Brazil in contrast
to shortage here graphically illus
trates the critical shortage of ship
ping facilities between this country
and our South American neighbors.
A Bluffton native, Moser is sta
toned at Cuyaba, about 1000 miles
in the Brazilian interior. The near
est large city is Sac Paulo on the
east coast.
Moser who with his family are
living in Denver, Colorado, on a
years furlough came east recently
as a delegate from the Brazil mis-
sion field to the Presbyterian General
Assembly in Milwaukee, May 20 to
27, and is stopping in Bluffton for
a weeks visit with his brother, Ezra.
Burning of Brazii's surplus coffee
to prevent glutted markets has been
ordered by the government for sew
eral years, and today's shortage of
shipping facilities further aggravates
the excess. Crude oil is poured over
the coffee beans, and they soon go
up in flames, Moser said.
There also is a wide contrast in
the price of coffee in South America
and here. The best grades retail
there for about seven cents pound,
Moser pointed out.
Bananas also are plentiful and
cheap in Brazil, the missionary said.
In the United States, prices are con-
tinuing to climb to higher levels, but
at the time Moser left Brazil 800
bananas could be purchased for 81
cents in American money.
Some of our common foods, how
ever, are a luxury in Brazil, Moser
said. Potatoes are very scarce, and
can be bought only by the rich.

Sounded Preceding Meet
ing Here

Demonstrations and instructions
concerning techniques for civilian
use in the prevention of disaster
were given at a community rally
sponsored by the Bluffton Civilian
Defense organization at the Bluffton
High school auditorium Monday
night. A large crowd was in at
tendance.
Calling the residents to the meet
ing was the first air raid alarm in
Bluffton consisting of one long and
two short blasts from the whistle
at the municipal water works plant.
The practice alarm was sounded Is
minutes before the start of the
meeting.
INCENDIARY BOMBS
Two types of bomb materials were
demonstrated at the rally by Prof
H. w. Berky chemistry instructor at
Bluffton college. Phosphorus and
magnesium, the most commonly used
materials in incendiary bombs, were
burned at the meeting to show the
nature of the ingredients. Smaller
proportions of the chemicals were
used in the demonstration than are
actually used in the bombs, Prof.
Berky stated.
Most incendiary bombs weigh
about 10 pounds and the average
aircraft will carry hundreds of them
dropping them systematically every
$50 feet as the city chosen for the
target is criss crossed to spread the
damage evenly.
The phosphorus bombs burn into
the flesh very easily and will con-
tinue to burn unless the pieces are
removed. The best way to do so is
to immerse the member in water and
force the piece to the surface. 1t

WAR BOND SALES
Reach RECORD OF
$S3,6O2 IN april
Represents More Than One
Third of Quota for All of
Allen County
Systematic House to House
Canvass Successfully Con-
cluded This Week

Representing more than one-third
of the quota for all of Allen county,
S83,602 in war bonds and stamps were
sold in BlufFton during the month of
April, it was announced by Norman
Triplett, chairman of the local cam
paign.
This announcement was made by
Triplett at the conclusion of the drive
to obtain buyers pledges for the reg
ular purchase of United States war
bonds and stamps. Most of the so
canvassers had reported their totals
by Saturday with a few remaining
residents being contacted the first of
The week.
Buying For First Time
April figures did not include the
buyers contacted in the intensive cam
paign just concluded. Some of the
signers contacted will buy their first
bonds and stamps during the month
of May, it was reported.
Allen county's monthly quota has
been set at $230,8O0 and with Bluff
toms April sales totalling $83,602 the
town has sold more bonds and stamps
than the rest of Allen county except
ing Lima, it was pointed out.
Contributing materially to the large
totals in recent months has been the
policy of several of the industries here
in paying for part of the bonds pur-
chased by the employees and of giving
bonds as bonuses to the workers.
Final Checkup
During the past 10 days every resi-
dent in Bluffton has been contacted
and the response has been outstand-
ing, according to preliminary reports.
Final checkup on the drive will be
made at meeting of all of the COM
mittee chairmen at the office of the
Triplett company Thursday night at
O'Clock.
If any residents have been accident
ally missed opportunity is still oper
to make a pledge, it was stated by
Triplett. Any of the campaign work
ers may be contacted for making OF
the pledge.
In the case of those with regular
income there have been almost no re-
fusals to sign the war bond pledge, il
was indicated by the first reports.
Many residents have pledged more
than the 10 per cent recommended By
the United States treasury depart
I ment.
The sales totals and campaign
methods in Bluffton have come to thu
| attention of state war bond officials
and are receiving commendation as al
| outstanding record for communit.
of this size.
Appreciation of the efforts of th
| campaign workers and the spirit o
enthusiastic cooperation on the par
of the residents of the community wa
voiced by Triplett as the campaigl
