This community has sustained
distinct loss in the passing of Ed
Miller, who for years operated a mill
at his farm northwest of Bluffton
making sorghum cane molasses. 1t
was one Of the few remaining mills
of its kind in Northwestern Ohio and
did custom business for farmers
thruout this section. It is to be
hoped that the mill may continue in
operation.
That box of Florida fruit which
the d. E. Daley family south Of
town received the other day is some-
thing Of mystery. Fact is the
Daileys don't know whether it is to
be cooked or eaten raw. The product
is described about the size, color and
general appearance of an avacado
but the outer skin is smooth. Per-
haps some Bluffton folks who have
wintered in Florida can supply the
answer.
The first snow in four years fell
in Vivian, La, about two weeks ago,
according TO a letter from G. w.
Benroth of that place, who formerly
lived here and worked in the oil field
some thirty years ago. Mr.. Benroth
who formerly was employed in the
Louisiana oil field is now retired.
The Benroths have a son who holds
responsible position with Standard
Oil, daughter living at Magnolia,
Ark, and granddaughter in college
at the latter place.
What Bluffton people are doing
still interests Francis Badertscher
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Orville Bader-
fischer of Bluffton, Ind, former
residents here. Francis who went
into service nearly two years ago
has not missed a single copy of the
News since that time.
Attendance at the Grade schools
has been sharply cut because of
measles and also a number of cases
of mumps, during the past week
The situation is now considerably
improved, it was reported the first
of this week.
Out in Hope, North Dakota, a
former Bluffton man is president OF
the Community club of that place, a
large and influential organization
An issue of the Hope pioneer"
local newspaper carries an announce
ment on the first page that Waldo
Lugibill will head the club for the
coming year. Waldo is the son OF
A. E. Lugibill of South Lawn avenue
and for the past ten years has beer
operating a large farm in North
Dakota. The club is described by

and an increase in corn acreage and
other feed crops and seed oats
bringing sta a bushel at a public
sale recently as compared with forty
cent normal levels scarcity has
put premium on them with little
prospect of relief as sowing time

All's fair in love and war, so
perhaps it was not amiss for the
Bluffton lass to send a glamor-girl
picture that wasn't hers to a soldier
whom she had never met. They say
it was a good idea until the other
day Mr.. Doughboy dropped into town
and looked her up-and discovered
to their mutual dismay that the
picture and the girl who sent it
weren't the same person.
Army draft calls are cutting into
college enrollments these days. Bluff
ton college thus far has been more
fortunate than some of the others.
The decrease here has been roughly
about one-third. Reports of another
Northwestern Ohio institution which
has lost nearly seventy-five present
OF its pre-war enrolment.
Farm women who usually get the
money from sale of eggs aren't too
happy about present market condi-
tions. "We can't produce eggs for
30 cents a dozen with feed prices
going up", was one woman's remark
in a grocery store the other day.
"And some of these town folks who
are looking for cheaper eggs might
remember that their wages haven't
come down., she added.

that anonymous contributions can

Damage Is Slight In
Roof Fire At Mayors

Sparks from a burning-out CHM
ney caused a roof fire at the home
of Mayor Wilbur A. Howe on Spring

mayor had noticed the falling sparks
and was outside watching the roof
when a small area of shingled sur
face burst into flames.-

 .Tis said that Pvt. J. Lewis would make a good Paratrooper.
 We like the way that our "First Soldier" King is doing his new job and as promised we are with him one-hundred percent.
 Hear that Cpl. "Sgt. Major" Weaver has a new gleam in his eye. Wonder if. it could be his new job or, we'll, just or.
 Would like to thank the ladies of Windsor Locks and Suffield for the swell "bird dinner" last Sun day, Twas good.
 Haven't see Pvt. s. Cooke's car around for a few days-guess Sgt. H. Black has the innards this week.
 Will someone inform Pvt. l.. Sanders that water is always need ed in cars. This, tell him, will keep the radiator from bursting.
 Understand that supervised rec reation is to start again soon. Let's stay on the ball this time.
 If S/Sgt. M. Caul continues to attend the "high-brow" doings at Bushnell, we'll have to carry copy of Webster to be able to con- verse with him.
 Voting time is just around the corner. Are you hep on what to do? If not, see It. Gusachik through the First Soldier or just stop with the First Soldier.
 Pvt. "Tenor Sax" Custer, you should wake up and look around, Bub. You have a whole bevy of sweet things digging you.
 We like man like this: Sgt. l.. Rabouin makes a trip all the way to New York to see about his friend, his dog, that fell off a roof.
 Are you reducing, Pvt. w. Scar cy, or do you just like oversize clothing?
 S/Sgt. "New Caledonia" Brooks has really slowed down to crawl. Wonder what's the matter? It couldn't be that someone else has moved in, could it?
 Again we ask, how many men can we get to form a bowling team?
 Since no one will donate us a car, we guess that we had better get on "Oatsmobile" (horse). We see few nags about.
