SIMON kENTCI
(1755.1830l

Simon Kenton, Indian scout, ex-
olorer, soldier, led a charmed life.
He fought through three wars.
Three times he was condemned
to the stake by the Indians. Eight
times he ran the gauntlet, be-
tween two rows of bowling In
dams intent on his death.
And still in 1912 when whites
were arming to kill Indians 70
avenge the death of a comrade,
Kenton, then nearly go, threat
ened to shoot the first man to raise
a hand against the Indians.
1t was in 1878, four years after
Kenton had served as scout in
Lord Dunmore's War, that he was
captured by Indians and carried
bound to Wapatomeka, an Indian
village two and one-half miles
south of Zanesield.
He had been beaten and tor
tured.
His face was painted black
sign of death by burning. Within
a few minutes he would be tied
to the stake. Then Simon Girty,
white renegade, and Kenton's
companion in Dunmore's War, en-
tered the hut.

SPORTS IN SHORTS

Lack of time to produce a we'll
drilled team resulted in one of the
weirdest plays in many years in
Bluffton colleges game with Mt.
Union at Alliance last Friday night
Two Bluffton backs were to
change position on the play, but in
the confusion they both ended at
the same place The ball was
snapped by the center before he
looked to see whether anyone was
there to receive it As result,
the pigskin went sailing back into
space, rolling down the field yard
after yard, where it was eventually
recovered by Mt. Union j. +. Two
plays later, the Mt. Union outfit had
converted the misplay into a touch
down.
Bluffton High and Bluffton col
lege grid outfits each got chance
to see some fancy running by op-
posing backs in last weeks games
;. Halfback Tressel of Ada tailed
three touchdowns for his team
against the Pirates, and Chuck Sell
Mt. Union ace, scored four touch
downs against the collegians.

On the 1912 wheat crop, the Com
modify Credit Corporation, up to
August II, had made 1926 loans
totaling s1,162,4SS.64 to Ohio farm
ers. The loans covered 920,170
bushels, all in warehouses except
364 bushels.
Use of nitrate fertilizers on fall
sown grains has been restricted be-
cause of the need for nitrates for
munitions and because any excess
nitrates can do more good on other
crops than can be gained by apply
ing them on cereals.
All the more important items of
new farm equipment are rationed, and
purchasers must make application to
their county board before tools or ma
chinery can be obtained from dealers.
Some hand tools and some of the
smaller horse-drawn equipment still

Western Europe. Argentina
Recognizes BlOcade.

Inspite of the Russian army's
resistance the German army this
week continues to move deeper
into the Don basin, with enormous
losses in men and machinery.
Here the situation appears more
grave than it has since last winter
when the Germans first began
their retreat.

Egyptian front where for the fifth
straight day the Axis forces have
been stalled after their light

men have recently sunk 3 Jap
warships and done considerable
damage to a fourth, it was re-
vealed this week. The loss, how
ever, of four more merchant YES

reported Tuesday.
The biggest news of the week
regarding the sea was perhaps the
action taken by Argentina, order
ing all of its, merchant ships to
avoid Eastern u. S., which is a
tacit recognition of a blockade.

Will Open New
Scrap Campaign
In Ashe Monday

A new government salvage
campaign, to collect scrap metal
of all kinds and old rubber, will
be launched in the county next
Monday, Roy Grouse announced
today.
Through the cooperation of the
WPA, a truck will be assigned to
collecting up this scrap and haul
ing it to shipping point.
All community agricultural
leaders have been urged to can
vass their communities and to get
every farmer to gather up scrap
metal, iron and steel items of all
sizes. Notices should then be
sent to the WPA office in Jeffer-
son or to the farm agents office
and the WPA truck will pick up
the scrap.
Each farmer will be given a
receipt for his scrap and later the
government will mail him a
check. Payments will be made
on the basis of 80 cents per hun
dred pounds for scrap metal and
SO cents per hundred pounds for
old rubber.
In announcing the campaign,
officials point out that scrap iron
and steel are vital to the war eff
fort because half of every battle
ship and tank is made of scrap.

goes down one trick, as there is
no way to avoid losing a dia-

keenly alive to the possible ad-
vantage of playing an equally

This is a little trick that play

to play the hand in the A suit,
