favor of compulsory military train
ing service law is that it would pro-
vide discipline needed for character
development. If we are to have a dis
ciplined citizenry, conscious of their
obligations under democracy, as well
as their obligations to their fellow citi-
zens in all cooperative undertakings,
we must look to our character forming
agencies, the family, the school, the
church, and community institutions
rather than to compulsory military
training service.
"Other proponents of compulsory
military training service have alvo-
Gated this type Of legislation on the
grounds that we deed to be prepared
for any eventuality that may arise.
At the present time all of our
thoughts have been directed to an en-
deavor to formulate a program that
will provide for lasting peace. This
is evidenced by the fact that the lead
ing nations of the world, including our
own, are participating in conference
at San Francisco at the present time
for such purpose. Some Of the advo-
Gates of this proposed legislation, who
include the representatives of our mil
itary and State Department, have tes-
titled in terms of preparedness. May
we not in all fairness ask, prepared
ness for what? If we are on the brink
of another war should we not have the
right to demand to know with whom,
when, and where?
eve have always held in this coun-
try that standing armies and stock
piles of war materials facilitated their
use before absolute need. | believe
that this is a historical fact as borne
out by the tragedies embroiling the
European nations who have followed
this philosophy. We join with many
others in urging the development of
effective international machinery to
deal with issues and situations in ad-
vance of their reaching an acute de-
velopment that necessitates war"
In fairness to the millions of men
now serving in the armed forces, ac-
tion on future compulsory training
laws should be deferred until they
come home and can voice their opin-
ions, Mr.. Hines concluded.
Harvey w. Brown, president of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, also expressed opposition to the
proposal before the House Committee.
He said military conscription in Eu-
ropean countries had proven no deter
rent to war.
"It is my considered opinion" he as
serted, "that in our day the major
cause of war can be traced to mass
unemployment.
"We have only to study the history
of this war to realize the truth of this
statement. If there had not been mass
unemployment and starvation in Ger
many, Hitler could never have been
successful in attaining the position of
leadership and power that resulted in
the program Of aggression against
other nations with the final end that
Germany went down in defeat"

our politicians have made quite point
of seeming not to have any more edu-
cation than it takes to snap red sus-
pender.
Well, that's something of which to be
ashamed. We must be proud of lite
racy--a high degree of literacy-and
we must make eternal and successful
war on ignorance.
We've simply got to KNOW what
goes on in this world. We've got to
KNOW or we shall be fooled and cheat
ed. We've got to know the WORDS to
this world music.-CMW.

The other day group of we'll edu-
Gated men and women were discussing
a resolution. Half of them objected to
the use of one Of the words contained
in the draft under consideration.
The word was "salubrious". The OBJ
lection was that "more than half Of
those who read it will not know what
it means" One of the group went to
an unabridged dictionary to find a
synonym.
Now this little discussion brings up
subject that is as old as the hills,
but important at the moment.
Most editors have advised writing
in simple words that can be under
stood by children, regardless Of age.
That advice remains more or less
good. But if the masses Of our people
are as under-educated as these editors
think, then people generally had better
get some more words in their vocabu-
laries.
Army tests haven't shown our young
men to have any too much education
Our people are not universally lite
rate. That is something that must be
corrected if we are going to know what
goes on in this world.

SPORTS IN SHORTS

Elida Highs unbeaten and unscored
on team so far this year has run up
record reminiscent of Buttons
record back in 1880 when the Pirates
went undefeated thru an eight-game
schedule in which they tailed 382
points against eight made by oppon-
ents Elida has one more game
to play, and if the team wins it will
be the first time since 1889 that any
Allen county team has been unbeaten,
Lima South turning the trick in that
Bluffton in 1880 defeated Lima
South, Pandora, Delphos Jefferson,
Leipsic, Shawnee, Carey, Upper San
dusky and was held to scoreeless tie
by Lima Central :. The most deci-
sive victory was 3 to 0 win over
Upper Sandusky, and Central which
tied the Pirates was beaten by Lima
South, team edged by Bluffton, 6 to
2
Elida so far this fall has scored
336 points in comparison with Bluff
toms 382 in 1890, and the teams most
decisive win has been over Paulding,
81 to 0 -. If the Bulldogs prevent
scoring by opponents in their closing
tilt it will be the first time in Allen
county history that local team has
kept its goal line uncrossed.
st. Marys apparently clinched its
second successive Western Buckeye
league grid title last Friday with a
stunning 33 to victory over Van
Wert's previously unbeaten Cougars
in game attended by nearly 5000
fans at st. Marys !. The Rough
riders were unable to score in the
| first period, but they tailed 19 in the
second; none in the third and then
added IA more in the closing stanza.

sporting event in Ohio is fast ap-
preaching and with it the ever in
creasing problem-that of adequate
housing for the anticipated myriad of
hunters. This year in the opinion of
many old timers will surpass the
boom of previous seasons in the num-
Der of hunters thronging into the
community. With the shell ban lift
ed, gas plentiful, and may G. is out
of the service of Uncle Sam, the army
of gunners expected here will really
create housing problem for the COM
munity and trespassing problem for
the farmer.
Birds are scattered and apparently
scarce. This means the hunter will
tramp many fields where he has gain
ed permission and also many areas
where he has not made arrangements
in his quest for Mr.. Ringneck. 1t is
the sincere hope of this columist that
the farmer and hunter will both be
reasonable in their treatment of each
other and can soon get together to
iron out their mutual problems.
Lloyd Oil, Hancock County game
protector, states that from all reports
heard and observations made, pleas
ants are not plentiful in Hancock
county this year. Finally hotels are
already reserved to capacity and most
wardens of this vicinity believe the
game supply runs in cycles and is on
the down grade.
Ammunition has been scarce the
past few years and as result crows
have increased alarmingly. Their
depredations on pheasant eggs are a
major factor in the decrease of game
in our area.
How do you name the size of shot
This is one of the hundreds of ques-
tions asked Henry P. Davis, public
relations division, Remington Arms
Company, Inc, yearly.
Here's the answer" says Davis.
There is simple way to tell the
story. 1t involves one. of the three

Bluffton High Eleven Wins Three
And Loses Five In 1916 Grid Play

Playing a rigorous schedule a
gainst some of the best teams in
this area, Bluffton High gridders
closed their 1915 season last week
with a record of three victories in
nine starts.
After scoring IL to 0 and 10 to 0
wins over Kenton and Ada in their
two initial tits, the Pirates found
the going considerably harder and
added only one more decision in
their next seven contests.
An unusual sidelight on this
years grid play is the fact that OPP
ponents were unable to score on
Bluffton in the games the locals
won, and the Pirates likewise went
scoreless in every tilt in which they
were bested.

O, tailed four times against the cou-
gars, but the most thrilling play of
the game was a 101-yard run reeled
off by the ST. Marys quarterback
who intercepted Van Vert pass in
the st. Marys end zone and ran to
Van Wert's one-yard stripe before
being downed ....
Altho Bluffton High gridders didn't
fare so well in play with Western
Buckeye league teams this fall, their
all-time record is an impressive one,
considering the fact that Bluffton is
the only Class B school in the loop
The Pirates have won 38 games, lost
80 and tied IL in all-time play with
the six schools that make up the as

Catching Bellefontaine on the re-

in Western Buckeye league play,
Bluffton High gridders dropped a
6 to 0 decision to the Chieftans at
that place last Friday night.
With Swank out of the Bluffton
lineup because of an injured leg,
the Pirates never got their offensive
game into high gear and Bellefon-
taine made one sustained drive in
the second quarter to tally the
touchdown that meant victory.
Bluffton took the opening kickoff
and promptly drove for two first
downs, but from that time a scrappy

In the three games they won, the
Burckymen piled up a total of 81

only Sc in the other five. Fifty of
the S6 points were made by st.
Marys and Van Vert, each of whom
got 25 points in their games with
Bluffton.

The next time you have a pinhole
puncture and are out on the road
where you are not close to a water
trough. pump the tire rather full and
then move 1t slowly close to the
ground. You will notice a dis
turbance in the dust as the pinhole
puncture passes by and in this way
can find the leak.

Federal Shell Ban Lifted

All government restrictions on the
manufacture, delivery and sale of am
munition have been lifted. The order,
issued by the War Production Board,
gives the hunter the privilege of pur-
chasing all the ammunition he can
find on the dealers shelves.
Dealers report a satisfactory sup
ply of shells and this scribe could
have purchased several cases of u
gauge from a Cleveland dealer within
the past five days.
Such opportunities as mentioned
are rare though, for locally and in
neighboring communities the dealers
stock won't stand large quantity de-
mands very long, so do not expect
too much.
