the News window this week merit
more than a passing glance. Just
in case you don't know it, trophies,
being made of metal are war cas-
uaity and these are of pre-war vint-
age. Tn fact so scarce have trophies
become that it was only with con-
siderable difficulty that these were
found. The trophies will be award
ed to winner in the county tourney
now under way on the Bluffton
courts.
Farmers in this area are becoming
increasingly fire-protection conscious.
Latest is Ezra Moser north of town
in Riley township who completed the
drilling of a we'll 112 feet deep to
provide water in case of fire. The
Pandora fire department was at the
Moser farm, Monday night, testing
the new we'll and found everything
satisfactory. Pandora and Riley
township have a working arrange
ment whereby services of the Pam
dora fire fighting equipment is avail
able to residents of the township on
call. 1t is necessary, however, that
water be provided on the premises
and farmers thruout the township
in increasing numbers are drilling
wells for that purpose.
Gerhard Buhler, high school prin-
cipal, and son Samuel, home from
eight weeks in boys summer camp
in northern Minnesota near the
source of the Mississippi river.
Fifty-ive boys in the camp and the
elder Buhler in charge of cabin
of seven youths. Being accountable
for them twenty-four hours of the
day and seven days a week is con-
siderably more responsibility and
nerve-wracking than being high
school principal for a group of sew
eral hundred during school hours, he
says.
Ray Patterson, erstwhile Bluffton
barber and saddle horse enthusiast,
is superintendent of the horse show
at the Hancock county fair on the
night of Thursday, Sept. 81. He is
busy these days distributing entry
blanks to possible exhibitors.
Harold Kennedy and family leav-
ing this week by auto and house
trailer enroute to California where
they will make their home at Pasa-
dena. They are going via the south
ern route and expect to visit Mrs.
Kennedy's elder sister, Mrs. Myron
Lugibihl and family at Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
From our good friend Sgt. Roland
Swank, now soldering in England,
comes a bundle of British news
papers published following the in
vasion of the continent. Perhaps the
most interesting is the age old and
traditionally bound London Times,
one of the worlds greatest news
papers and potent influence in the
shaping of England's domestic and
foreign policies. It's makeup is
strange to American eyes-with the
entire front page take up with clas-
sifed advertising in fine type. The
London Times, which has weathered
long years of world shaking events,
never deviated from its usual custom
on D-day and published news of the
invasion on one of its inside pages
under the department heading of
foreign news, giving withal a matter
of-fact account of the operation,
vastly different from the reports APP
pearing in the American press.

Rev. Paul Adams here last week

What was described as a praying
mantis, resembling a huge green
grasshopper, was captured Monday
night by Lewis Foltz, watchman at
Triplett plant No. /. The specimen
was turned over Tuesday to Miss
M'Della Moon biology instructor at
the college. 1t is said to be COM
paratively rare in this section.
Wilbert Schumacher, large melon
grower northwest of Bluffton is hav-
ing his troubles these days. Due to
the drought, focks of pheasants
come to get a drink at the creek
running thru his farm and then
zoom over the fence into his nearby
melon patch. The birds are doing
more damage to his melons than
maurading boys ever did, Wilbert
says. Shooting the birds will not
solve the problem as some of the
shot is bound to hit the melons
and melons filled with birdshot are
none too good. Maybe an electrically
operated scarecrow would do the
trick.
1t is with regret that Bluffton peo-
pie will learn that Phillips butter,
rated as one of the choicest pro-
| ducts sold in food stores here will
disappear from the market in Octo-
Der. The butter comes from the
farm of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Phil
lips south of town. Married fifty
years ago they took up butter max
ing in which they achieved a notable
success. On their Golden Wedding
they will discontinue this work. A
half century is long stretch of but
ter making and added to this the
reputation built up during that
period when Phillips butter" was
its own guarantee of quality.

THEIR MAsTER,s VOICE
Greatest Trainer Controls Savage Beasts By Vocal Infections

Alfred Court cares for his voice as painstskingly as does an operatio baritone. He Is the worlds foremost trainer of wild animals and he con- trols them by vocal commands. His mixed groups of jungle and forest bred performers have long been ac- claimed in Europe as the greatest ever seen. This IS true, even in Ger many, where the Hagenbeck tradi- ton is paramount. However, before the war German trainers and show men called Court that marvellous Frenchma11."
 Alfred Court has his great acts appear in an outstanding feature ot the Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, coming to Wa terbury, Monday and Tuesday, June 19 and 20.
 The acts include lions, tigers, Timalayan, Tibetan and Polar bears black leopards, black jaguars, spot ted leopards and partners, cougars and Great Dane dogs No other such groups have ever been displayed anywhere on earth. The demonic fury and treacherous characteristics of these natural jungle enemies when working together contrary to all jungle laws have defeated other trainers.
 But the great Court teaches by voice. His theory of training is that the voice must control, must be- the final authority. He uses no guns, no spiked poles, no clubs. He was circus owner in France, Bell gium and Spain when his love of animals and his hatred of brutality impelled him to prove his theory of kindness in animal teaching, that the .voic alone is sufficient. when intelligent guidance of the wild creatures characteristics is logical ly pursued.
 So that is why the greatest wild animal mentor of them all guards his voice, as do his assitant trainers. They only carry light whips which they use as school teachers use blackboard pointers.

Roid Played Down By yJops

A Domei broadcast recorded by government monitors quoted Xii yosla Coke, vice president of the Japanese Aviation Industry asso- ciation, as saying:
 Enemy planes finally have come over our very heads. However, we who are engaged in the aircraft pro- ductlon and who had always ex- pected this to happen, had made complete preparations to cope with this. 't.
 Therefore, there IS nothing to worry about. In the last several days we have taken great interest in the Pacific war situation. For tunately the people of the nation had, with great effort, put 8 spur to increased production of aircraft. I believe they are further exerting their efforts"
 Another Japanese broadcast de- scribed the attack as a failure but said: "The enemy will no doubt come far more consistently here- after, aiming at our homeland by depending on the might of material. We canont relax our vigilance bit"
 Japanese propaganda broadcasts intended to impress the Chinese made claims even more extravagant than the statement of imperial Jap anese headquarters that seven B-29's had been shot down.
 In Cantonese broadcast recorded by the EGG, Tokyo radio said:
 'The enemy raiding Kyushu were broken up by the Japanese forces After losing more than half their planes, the enemy fled in horror"
