the high spots is the annual meeting
when accounts are settled up and a
general good time is enjoyed BY
members and their families. This
get together was held at Orange
Center last Wednesday night when a
sumptuous pot luck supper was a
feature of the occasion. Looks as If
stress of war conditions may make it
necessary for more of this type of
farmer neighborliness.
Gene Patterson, 13 year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Patterson, was
surprised to see a colored picture of
himself projected on the screen of
the Star theatre the other night. He
was pictured riding on his Dads
horse and George Carmack even
provided sound effects, playing some
western cowboy music. Gene is still
mystified.
Havoc has been played on Bob
Coon's voice because of a cold. At
Scout meeting Monday night his
voice went into high and low treble
alternately much to the amusement
of the scouts and to the consterna-
tion of Bob.
Whether its the native land of
their ancestors they are returning to
is not known for sure but we do
know an Indian girl of three years
and an Indian boy of eight have
taken up their permanent residence
near Bluffton. The two Indian
children have been adopted by Mr..
and Mrs. Abe Baumgartner who
have moved on the old Rev. Chris
Steiner farm, four miles west and
one mile south of town. They NOV
ed to Bluffton last week from Idaho.
The farm at the present time is
occupied by Stewart Berryhills until
they move on the Bluffton college
farm. The Indian boy, Paul Baum
gartner, attended school in the third
grade, Miss Balmer's room, on Mon
day morning for the first time. The
children are rapidly becoming ac-
quainted with Paul and are doing
their best to make him feel at home
at the Bluffton school.
The two Indian children were
formerly in missionary station
served by Mrs. Baumgartner in
Arizona in the midst of a Hopi
Indian group.

Canned Food Sales
Stop Saturday Night

Allen county residents were re-
minded last week by E. A. Siferd,
chairman of the county war and
price rationing board, to begin pre-
pairing for the rationing of canned
foods, beginning March l.
Beginning Feb. 20 there will be no
more canned good sales to the public,
until the start of the rationing pro-
gram on March l. During that week
War Ration Book No. 2 will be is
sued for everyone.
Foods to 2e rationed under the
point system include canned and bot
tied fruits, vegetables and juices
canned soups, frozen fruits and vege-
tables and dried fruits.
Residents are urged not to buy
more canned goods than they need
between now and the beginning of
rationing. Hoarding, it has been
pointed out, defeats the whole pur-
pose of the rationing program, and
means the hoarder is trying to get
a higher share of scare items thar
his friends and neighbors.

YOU AND YOUR
INCOME TAX

Internal Revenue designed to help
clarity requirements of the 1942
Reoenue Act for those Uho are
neac income tar poyers.-EDrToR
WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW TAX
4, ES ARE TO BE PAID
Taxes due on a return filed for the
calander year 1912 may be paid in
full at the time for the filing of the
return ON or before March Is, 1943.
The tax may at the option of the tax
payer, be paid in four equal INSTALL
ments instead of in a single payment,
in which case the first installment is
to be paid on or before March Is, the
second or or before June Is, the third
on or before September Is, and the
fourth ON or before December Is, ,1943.
If the taxpayer elects to pay his tax
in four installments, each of the four
installments must be equal in amount,
but any installment may be paid, at
the election of the taxpayer, prior to
the time prescribed for its payment.
If an installment is not paid in full
or or before the date fixed for its
payment, the whole amount of the
tax remaining unpaid is required to
be paid upon notice and demand from
the collector.
The tax must be paid to the col
lector of internal revenue for the dis
trict in which the taxpayers return
is required to be filed-that is to the
collector for the district in which is
located the taxpayers legal residence
or principal place of business, or if he
has no legal residence or principal
place of business in the United States,
then to the collector of internal rev.
enue at Baltimore, Maryland.
In the payment of taxes a fraction
al part of cent is to be disregarded
unless it amounts to one-half cent or
more, in which case it shall be in
creased to one cent.
The tax due, if any, should be paid
in cash at the collectors office, or by
check or money order payable to
Collector of Internal Revenue" In
the case of payment in cash, the tax
payer should in every instance re-
quire and the collector should furnish
receipt. In the case of payment
made by check or money order, how
ever, the conceled check or the money
order receipt is usually a sufficient
receipt.

WITH THE
SPORTSMEN'S CLUB
This an that from the editor

This an that from the editor
Attention all Riflemen and Sports
men. The following letter was re-
caived here from the National Rifle
Association of America. All mem.
bers and club secretaries of this or
ganization in Ohio received this com.
munication which reads as follows:
"State Representative Michael P
O'Brien, of Cuyahoga County, has in
troduced into the House of Repre-
sentatives, Columbus, a bill to legalize
the possession and use of firearms by
boys of seventeen or younger, while
they are being given instruction and
training in craftsmanship or are le-
gally in the hunting filled"
The Directors of the Bluffton Club
voted Monday evening to support this
bill now pending before the legisla-
ture, and to ask Senator Siebert and
Representative Myers to use their in
fiuence toward the passage of the
bill. Copies of this letter will be sent
to the ten clubs comprising the mem
bership of the Allen County Council
of Conservation Clubs asking them to
take similar action. Solas Diller, the
present chairman of the Allen
County Council of Conservation Clubs
requests that rifiemen and sportsmen
of neighboring counties support the
proposal by taking like action in
writing to their Representative and
Senator.
At directors meeting of the
Bluffton Sportsmen's club held in the
Walnut Grill, Monday evening, Gail
Mumma of North Main street, was
chosen license sales director to fill
the vacancy caused by the induction of
Denver Augusburger into the armed
forces.
With more fishing water available
in Ohio during the coming season
and the stress which is being placed
on the slogan fish for food" it is ex-
pected that there will be heavy sale
of licenses this Spring. A digest
giving a resume of the new fishing
regulations, will be furnished with
each license. Although the complete
orders affecting fishing and hunting
are on file in the Clerk of Courts Of
fee in each county court house, SO
that all may know the law, these di
gests offer the main points in the law
and are quite handy to tuck into the
tackle box.
The Sportsmen's club dealers who
will handle the license sales for fish,
ing licenses are: Lemon ]. Hauen-
stein; Sam Stepleton; Lloyd Hard
wick; Chas. Dillman of Bluffton and
Don Forche of Beaverdam.

We don't know whether Karo
syrup is being boarded i'm this COM
munity-but it is virtually impos-
sible to obtain at any retail store
here according to information the
first of the week from a young
mother whose baby is experiencing
digestive troubles because of lack of
! this syrup. This column will be
glad to give the name of the mother
to anyone who will supply the
syrup.
Restricted automobile driving has
resulted in lot of brand new auto
troubles which garages are having to
deal with this winter, so says Harley
Dutch" Augsburger, Button gar
ageman. Troubles formerly caused
by fast driving are replaced with
other troubles the result of slow
driving. Among these he enumer-
ates run down batteries, water in
oil caused by condensation; rusted
mufflers, etc. Cars should be taken
out on the road and run occasionally
to get them limbered up-just as one
would exercise horse, Augsburger
said.
Comes word from Pfc. Maurice
! Boutwell,, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Boutwell,, stationed somewhere in
the southwest Pacific. He says he
has received about 100 Christmas
cards and packages and wishes to
thank all his many friends. Many
of the cards were received when he
was on the front lines fighting the
Japs. Boutwell, also receives the
Bluffton News regularly, he writes.
Farm machinery is bringing record
prices at auction sales this winter.
Despite OPA warnings of price cell
ings used equipment is being knock
ed off at virtually the price paid
for it when new. At one sale north
west of town last week tractor
seven years old brought within S75
of the price paid for it new in 1886.
One of the more common methods
of evading the regulation on price
ceilings reported here is the practice
at farm auctions of running the
price of a tractor up to the ceiling
and then a calf is thrown in with
the tractor and the extra money re-
ceived being reported as the price
paid for the animal--and brother
they say there have been some
mighty high priced calves.
Spring has come to the southwest,
writes C.. E. Williams of Overton,
Texas, former Blufftonite. The win
ter in that section, however, was
unusually severe, he says.
One of the outstanding examples
of successful farmer cooperation is
the record made by the Big Ten
Husking Ring of Orange township.
The ring, made up of group of
neighborhood farmers has been in
operation for twenty years. One of

Rendering An Account?

During recent weeks we have been
reading and hearing much about our ma
tional and state budgets. Neither con-
gressmen nor legislators want to make any
secret about our expenditures and income.
And the taxpayers themselves, naturally
want to know where, how much and how
their money is being spent.
And we never before heard of any
stock companies that wanted to, or found
it necessary, to keep the income and ex-
penditures from the stockholders with the
exception of the manager of the Blue
Ridge Electric membership corporation.
Months ago, Mr.. Messick promised us this
for publication. We have not received it
and, of course, are still wondering about
it and his reasons for withholding it; SO
are many of the MEMBERS We get inquir-
les almost daily about it.
We were surprised last week to learn
that Representative Fred Blevins had in
PRODUCED bill in the legislature asking
that the electric cooperative be required
to publish a statement semi-annually. Mr..
Blevins reports that a number of citizens
were interested in the passage of such a
bill.
Surely it should not be necess arY to
have a special bill passed to require MIR.
Messick to pass on to the members Of his
cooperative, information which the mem
bers are certainly entitled to. We are still
holding him to his promise about it. If
the cooperative is getting along as it
should and we hope that it is, why should
Mt an account be rendered to the mem
berS?
