ammunition will arrive during the

spare boxes, share it with your
neighbor and let him pay you back
when available. One box of large

make that long planned big game

White Christmas In Prospect Here
AS Snow And Cold Wave Continue
Nineteen White and Fifteen
Green Christmases Here
I'm Last "a Years
Snow Blanketed Ground Plus
Continued Cold Weather
Favor White Holiday

Buttons prospects for a white
Christmas have been materially
frightened this week by continued
cold weather that gives little indi-
cation Of melting a foursinch carpet
of snow that blanketed the area
last Thursday afternoon and even
ing.
Last year the town had a white
Christmas, reversing a trend in pre-
ceding winters, for it was only the
second time in nine years that there
. had been snowfall for the holiday
scene.
In the last 81 years, Bluffton has
enjoyed 19 white and Is green
Christmases, the record reveals, but
in recent years the odds have been
against snowfall for the holiday.
Heaviest snow of the 34-year span
was in 1916 when roaring blizzard
brought a 12-inch blanket of snow.
In 1885 Bluffton had eight inches of
snow, the heaviest in recent years,
followed by seven inches last year.
The all-time warm weather record
for Christmas here was in 1882
when the thermometer recorded a
mark of 81 shortly before noon.
Bluffton's 34-year record of Christ
mas weather is as follows:
1911, no snow; 1912, no snow;
1913, trace of snow; 1914, seven
inches; 1915, three inches; 1916, Il
inches; 1917, seven inches; 1918
trace of snow; 1919, one inch; 1920
no snow; 1921, no snow; 1922, trace
of snow; 1928, no snow; 1924, five
inches; 1925, one inch.
1926, three inches; 1927, no snow
1928, one inch; 1929, five inches

Heavy snowfall which impeded traf-

CONSTRUCTION OF
HOSPITAL ADDITION
BEING CONSIDERED
Need for Expanded Facilities
May Be Considered AT An
nual Meeting
New Record of Hospital Service
Established at Institution
In November

Construction of an addition to the
Bluffton Community hospital is being
considered by the board of trustees
as an answer to present overtaxed
facilities at the institution.
Altho no definite course of action
has been decided, it is expected that
the question of the addition will be
one of the major items presented
next month at the annual hospital
meeting for further consideration
and discussion.
Should expansion of hospital ia
cilities be decided, however, no move
toward construction would be under
taken before next summer.
That the question of a hospital
addition is receiving serious consid-
Grafton became known this week
with announcements of new record
for handling patients established at
the institution in November.
Average number of patients per
day was 25 during the month. Des-

Candy Scarcity Remains As
Principal Reminder OF Four
Wartime Holidays
Days When Store Counters
Were Heaped with Candy
Remains A Memory

Scanty stocks of candy in Button
stores this week--the result of con-
tinued shortages of sugar-remain
as the community's most potent re-
minder of the four wartime Christ
mas seasons when shortages were
the rule rather than the exception.
Home candy making, long one of
the principal practices of each
Christmas, also is practically for
gotten, because strict rationing of
sugar prevents its use for anything
other than table or cooking use.
The days when store counters were
heaped high with all kinds of COM
mercial candies remains only men,
ory of pre-war days, and those with
a Yuletide sweettooth must wait at
least another year to indulge in
their weakness.
Rejecting the law of supply and
demand, the scanty stocks of candy
in stores command prices that are
sharply upward over what they
were in the pre-war era.
No easing of sugar rationing is in
sight so far, and present indications
are that the shortage will continue
well into the coming year. For the
first quarter of 1916, individual sug-
ar rations are unchanged and will
continue at FIVE pounds for each four
months.

PEACETIME XMAS

OF HOLIDAY mail
Volume of Holiday Greeting
Cards Grows to Record
Proportions
Rates for Greeting Card Mailing
Unchanged; Patrons Canr~s
Help in Handling

Buttons first peacetime Christ
mas in five years has brought with
it a volume of mail of record pro-
portions, it was stated by Postmast-
er Ed. r. Reichenbach, as a verit-
able deluge of holiday greeting cards
and parcels is keeping all hands at
the post office busy early and late.
Shortage of merchandise stocks
prevalent in many retail lines de-
veloped also in the post office when
the supply of one and one-half cent
stamps was exhausted because of the
heavy demand for them to send
Christmas greeting cards at the
third class rate.
Orders for an additional supply of
these stamps could be only partly
filled because of the prevalent holi-
day demand which appears to be a
general condition this Christmas.
With many soldiers and sailors
home from the service, overseas
mailing showed sharp decrease this
year during September and October
but with the boys home just that
much more is expected to be added
to the Christmas rush.
Postmaster Reichenbach pointed
out this week that greeting cards ir
unsealed envelopes may be malice

half cent third class rate prevailing
in 1914.
On this type of mailing you may
