The archery demonstration and fish
fry sponsored by the Sportsmen's club
Tuesday night in the Legion hall was
complete success, judging from the
attendance which jammed the hall, the
amount of refreshments consumed and
interest shown in archery.
Those Lima and Findlay archers
put on a wonderful exhibition for
some 450 Bluffton people who were
present and that fish fry was one of
the high points. Plenty of eats for
every one-and that took 70 pounds
of dressed Lake Erie pickerel, fried
piping hot at Pines, 40 pounds of
cheese, $40 buns and Is loaves of
bread, besides 10 cases of milk for
the youngsters present and all the
coffee the adults could drink. Boy
Scouts of Troop 50 did yeoman work
in serving the eats.
Ralph Waggoner of Lima 1912
state indoor archery champion and
Mayor c. HI. Dutweiler of Findlay
were among the archers present.
Shooting broadhead steel tipped ar
rows the mayor pierced steel skillet
and split three-quarter inch board.
If there is sufficient interest to or
ganize an archery team in Bluffton,
the Sportsmen's club will assist in
setting up an indoor range on the
third floor of the town hall while an
outdoor range will be provided at
Swiss Inn, south of town.

be sportsman who would have us
junk our old guns. Let's forget 'em.
But you, Spotty, only Is months old,
might come in handy to one of them
for the hunting season-only then
you, too, might be kicked out to
shift for yourself until the next
hunting season rolls around, by fell
lows like that. Too many persons
don't treat their hunting dogs right
when they are not working for their
masters in the field.
There has been much said about
guns, ammunition and dogs in diff
ferent sports papers and magazines
some of much interest, while a
lot only merely blotted the paper.
This old gun of mine, which you
have heard roaring in the field so
many times, is just a plain, double
barrelled, hammer, y gauge of the
Richard make; it has no fancy en-
cravings or even poison ivy leaves
so plain, indeed, that it hasn't even
a spar rib extension. Now, while
this old gun. will not unbreech it
self either from a wiggle or shot,
/ is because | use as light load as I
can buy. 1t was long time ago
that | found it was not the loud
crack or hard recoil that got the
game, to say nothing of sore fingers
from trigger kick.
Back in the SOS Bluffton had some
real sportsmen, now all gone to their
happy hunting grounds. Each had
one or more bird dogs, mostly Eng
lish Settlers; just few pointers
Quail, drummeater grouse, plenty OF
squirrels, gray and black, were our
main game at that time.
But to kid like me it was more
! impressive than most anything else
that went on in those days. 1t wa:

budget for squirrel) and Sam Hau-
enstein, the Squirrel Committee
chairman, sent a wire to have the
order shipped.
We regret to state that the State
of Missouri got their order in ahead
of us. The Game Farm said that
trapping will continue for a short
period in an endeavor to complete
the order for fox squirrel placed by
our club. Trapping on their farms
is considerably slowed down by the
spring breakup resulting in bad
road conditions. Shortage of labor
also seriously handicaps their work
this spring. The Farm says that
some greys are being trapped and
they will ship as many as possible to
us at the bargain rate of soc each,
the price the same as stated in the
terms of their original offer.

Vertically and Horizontally

Another aspect of earth shock
which renders it dangerous is its
characteristic of travelling rapidly IN
vertical direction, and more SLOW
ly in a horizontal direction. Conse-
quently, any subsurface structure,
such as a foundation or a shelter,
may be first lifted by the vertical
component and then moved horizon
tally by the horizontal component.
The effect on a nonflexible structure
is obvious. Wall bearing buildings,
or those whose walls support all 9TH
er parts, and unreinforced masonry
buildings, fare badly from the ef-
fects of earth-shock.

Well, Spotty, when fellow whose
birthday was away back in 1870 is
still alive and kicking, he's seen a
lot of things, and lot of changes.
Boy! oh, boy, it almost battles COM
prehension to think of the wonderful
developments and inventions that
have come along in that time-autos,
wireless telegraphy, radio, electric
refrigerators, aeroplanes, rapid fire
guns, submarines, and goodness
knows what all. 1t has been wonder
full to live through those years.
Maybe things haven't improved a
lot for dogs like you, because my
boyhood days were also great days
for dogs.
Now that we've seen another hunt
ing season pass by, there was moth
ing else to do but to hang up my
hunting coat and clean up the old
gun and put it away until, Father
Time permitting, the shooting of as

acre Roy Rogers woods. The two
new reserves were signed up under
Pittman-R Robertson plan by Dan
Tripplehorn, club director, and Rob-
ert Winchell, of Wapakoneta, agent
for the state operating under the
| Pittman- Robertson Program.
In the letter from the Game Farm
they also stated that occasionally
they have a surplus of Ruffed Grouse
for close out prices. In the letter
they offered 80 of these game birds
at S5 each, express prepaid. The
restocking committee hesitates to
ask the directors for an appropria-
tion for game of this type until the
idea is thoroughly sounded out. Now
if you sportsmen will give us. few
suggestions and ideas on the .propa-
cation of grouse, in the future when
tempted with a bargain offer we will
be better prepared to make a de-
cision. The next time you see Jesse
Manges, or Jay Harris, or the chair
men of the other restocking COM
mittees-Bill Edwards, Ed Root, Sam
Hauenstein, Al Garmatter, Ralph
Reiehenbach, or Leon Hauenstein,
tell them what you think of plans
for restocking grouse in this area.
In an article by Hubert Bezdek,
Pittman- Robertson project leader of
the Ohio Grouse survey, (article on
page 5 of the April Conservation
Bulletin), Bazdek states that grouse
are found in heavy, sometimes al
most impenetrable, brush and wood
lands. Years ago grouse were in
every county of Ohio, but now the
best range is the Eastern third of
Ohio with the counties of Ashtabula
and adjacent parts of Lake and
Geauga containing more grouse than
any other portion of Ohio. Our sec2

Winchell, when he was here, in
formed us that we can expect the
Tree Units ordered by the club this
week end. The Tree Unit met at
the home of Gene Benroth last week
and plans were set up to take care
of the trees when they come.
Each unit of 125 trees and 42
bushes will come wrapped in burlap.
The committee consisting of Chair
man Wilford Geiger, Miss M'Della
Moon, Harry Barnes, John Schmidt,
Karl Gable will see that each unit
is heeled in on the farm where they
are to be planted. Later the Scouts,
Biology classes, botany classes,
Sportsmen Club members, and All
boys will assist in the actual plant
ing if help is needed by the farmer
in setting out the plants.
How many fox squirrels can live
in a 8 acre woods? The answer was
given by Clyde Klingler, farmer on

states that he knows at least % of
the bushy-tails were shot in this

So, it is not always the size of
the woods that determines the
number of squirrel, but rather how
many dens are there, and is there
sufficient supply of nut trees and
other food sources, as we'll as water,
to keep the animals attracted to the
locality.

Fisht Efforts to Lure
Youth Into Saloons

THERE are insidious attempts in many parts of the
country, including Michigan TO change laws 10 permit
younger people TO enter saloons.
The age limitations should be in the higher brackets
not in the lower.
There should be nothing lower than 21-year
Irritation.
And Young women should be kept out Of saloons
under any and all circumstances.
Attempts 10 lure young people into saloons should
be Immediately and crushngly repulsed whenever and
wherever they made
! They are symptoms and also results, OF the general
relaxation of morals and that inevitable and
inherent with wartime conditions
WHY are these attempts being made?
w Of what conceivable good to the country is it to
open the saloons adoescents boys and girls hardly out
OF school?
VIII it make Americans fight harder, live
srenuously work longer hours produce goods?
Is it necessary for public health and morale that our
youngsters learn to drink and get drunk?
OF course not.
On the contrary it is of the utmost urgency these
harsh and trying days that young people keep their
spirits and bodies in excellent condition.
That they turn their energies to good work and
wholesome leisure
That they learn follow and appreciate the qualities
of restraint industry and creative effort
