Geography

Most of the disfilling in America is concentrated in the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania. Ken lucky, Indiana and Illinois. This is not accidental. Let's look at the map. Draw a line down the coast from New England to Phila- delphia, then westward through Pennsylvania and along the Ohio River valley to the Mississippi, and then let's follow the Missis- sippi down to the Gulf. Here Is an area of great fertility, fed by innu- merable streams and waterways, natural routes of communication, and by these routes the early set tiers penetrated the hinterland in the pioneering days in America.
 Along these important rivers and their tributaries, settlement sprang up; settlements of English, Irish and Scotch immigrants. Later came Germans and Scandinavians; and still later came immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. And, along with these pioneers, came the arts and crafts such as weaving, tanning, blacksmithing, candle making-and distilling.
 Let's look at the map pagain. Louis vile, Kentucky, is on the Ohio, as are Cincinnati, and Lawrence burg Indiana Frankfort Kentucky, is on the Kentucky River, a tributary of the Ohio. And Peoria, Illinois, IS on the Illinois River, a tributary of the Mississippi. The famous whiskey counties in Ken lucky, namely, Jefferson, Frank lin, Bourbon, Mason, Mercer, Nel- Son, etc, all are close to the Ohio and its tributaries.
 This accessibility to transporta- tion and communication routes, more than any other one thing, contributed to the establishment of the distilling industry in these areas. Here were the settlements; and here began the first social life in what had been a wilderness. Here the distilling industry was es- tablished, and here 1t is today. Plenty of raw materials; grains, fuel, sparkling spring water, as well az accessibility to new markets which were constantly being opened up by the ever increasing trek of immigrants westward.
 So the distilling industry in Amer ica dates back historically to the settlement of the regions west of the Allegheny Mountains. Whiskey was considered an essential com modity. It was non-perishable, easily transpOrtable, and not too bulky. Its manufacture helped the early settlers to become self sustaining, and to erect a stable economy.
 Today tOO-the Alcoholic Bev- craze Industry is playing an im- portant part in the economic life of the Nation. Besides being the Ma tion's number one tax collector, through the sales of it's products, the distilling industry is one of the most important producers of war time alcohol, necessary in the manu- lecture of smokeless powder, syn thetic rubber, chemical warfare material, and host of other essen- tial products Vitally needed in the prosecution of the war.

BLUFFTON SCHOOLS
HAVE ENROLMENT
OF 491 THIS FALL
This Falls Enrolment Reverses
Downward Trend Seen Here
For Eight Years.
Grade School Enrolment is up
With 242; High School has
249 i'm Classes.

Reflecting an upward trend of en-
rollment for the first time in the last
nine years, Bluffton public schools
opened Tuesday morning for the fall
term with a registration of 491
pupils
Enrolment this September is eight
more than last falls total of 483, and
marks the first time since 1886 that
registration has shownl an increase
over the preceding year.
When the downward trend started
in the fall of 1887, Bluffton had an
enrolment of 669, or a total of 17S
more pupils than are registered this
fall when the decline of nearly de-
cade finally came to an end.
Gain in attendance this fall is re-
presented by a decided increase in
grade school registration, for high
school enrolment has continued to
fall off.
This falls enrolment for the first
six grades is 242, a gain of % over
lastsyear when 217 registered. In the
high school, including junior high

TOWN MAY BE
PERMANENTLY
ON SLOW Time
Action Annulling Town Ordi
nance Anticipated Before
Next Spring.
Present or Incoming Council
Expected to Act if Congress
Does Not.

Bluffton's return to Slow, or Cen
trail War time last Sunday morning
may mark an end to the towns sched-
ule of operating on Fast Time during
the four summer months, and in the
future clocks here probably will be
on Slow Time the year around.
With the end of the war, it is ex-
pected that Congress will revoke the
wartime statute which resulted in the
clocks of the nation being set ahead
one hour during the time the conflict
was in progress.
Should action be taken, it would
automatically annul Buttons muni-
cipal ordinance providing for opera
ton on Fast Time from the first Sun
day in April to the first Sunday in
September, and on Slow Time for the
remainder of the year.
If Congress fails to take the ex
pected action, local pressure probably
will result in the council repeating
the time change ordinance, thereby
permitting operation on Slow Time
here during the IL months of the year
May Go TO New Council
Whether the present council would
take the necessary steps or wait fol-
the matter to be decided by the new
council to be elected in November and
seated in January is matter of con-
lecture, but it is likely that action
in some form will be forthcoming be-
fore next spring.
A public opinion poll taken this
summer in Lima indicated that a ma
jority of the residents there favor
returning to Slow Time on a perma-
nent basis, and whatever action is
taken by the county seat probably
will be followed here.
Farmers always have been opposed
to Fast Time, because of its effect on
their schedule of farm operations, and
there has been opposition from other
sources on the basis that it interferes
with proper rest at night by getting
persons out of bed too early in the
morning.
