Home Gardens Now Supplying Potatoes
Helping To Relieve Current Short Crop

Early potatoes raised in home
gardens. a practice generally re-
garded as more or less of a hobby,
is credited this year as one factor
that may help relieve serious po-
tato shortage the government en-
visages for next winter.
Scores of back yard plots, each
one small but large in the aggregate,
will make a particularly valuable
contribution to the overall supply
which is expected to be critically
short by the end of the winter.
Home grown early potatoes now
are being dug in gardens thruout the
district, but many persons locally
also are raising late potatoes for
their own use thruout the winter.
A good yield of early potatoes is
assured for the district, despite gen
orally poor conditions on national
scale, and with rainfall at the prop
er time, the late crop will be aver
age or better.
According to government reports,
the overall picture is not eneourag-
ing, for a combination of reduced
acreage, plus widespread damage
from floods, has generally cut sharp

One-Cent Differential Between
Dairy Prices OF Last Week
Is Eliminated
Price Of Butter Breaks To IS
Cents Here Wednesday
Morning

Milk prices have stabilized on the
Bluffton market at II cents per
quart for all brands, eliminating a
one-cent differential that existed last
week when one dairy was selling
the product at 16 cents and the
other at IL cents.
The boost to IT cents, plus an adj
ditional penny for bottle deposit,
represents the third price increase
for milk since June 8, when it sold
for IA cents quart.
Meanwhile, there are indications
that butter prices may be driven
downward by lack of consumer de-
mand. Prices Wednesday in local
food stores ranged from 73 to 80
cents a pound.
BUTTER PRICES BREAKING
The result is that S0-cent butter
has been piling up on retailers
shelves, with price-conscious shoppers
avoiding it in view of the fact that
indications generally are to the eff
feet that butter prices will probably
stabilize around the 73c level.
A part of the three-cent increase
in milk prices since last June 8 are
represented by higher prices paid to
farm producers by dairies, as a re-
suit of elimination of federal subsi-
dies to the producers.
The subsidy had paid farmers So
cents for each 100 pounds of milk
they sold, in addition to the average
price of 1892 a hundredweight re-
ceived in June.
Dairies paid farm producers $4.25

half of July, plus an additional in

Worlds Fair Romance
NOlU Golden Wedding

Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Carder
quietly observed their Golden we'd
ding anniversary at their home on
South Main street, Monday-and
thereupon hangs a tale of romance
which dates back to the Chicago
Worlds fair in 1893.
1t had its beginning when William
Warfield Carder and his mother,
Mrs. John w. Carder of Oldtown,
Maryland, and Green Spring, West
Virginia, and Mrs. Z. S. Riegle and
twin daughters Ettie and Nettie and
Mrs. Ellen Dorney Lease and son
Sumner of Arlington, visiting the
fair happened to register at the
same hotel and saw much of the
fair together.
The following summer Mr.. Carder
came to Ohio to visit relatives in
Columbus and Hancock county. He
returned the next summer on an
other visit; also to make more def
mite plans for his next annual trip.
In 1896 he came to Arlington to
claim as his bride one of the Riegle
twins, Nettie Viola-the one who
wore the glasses.
During the customary extended
wedding trip of fifty years ago they
visited places of interest in the east
and south after which they located
in the Carder ancestral home in
beautiful Green Spring valley where
they resided for the first quarter
century. Here their son John was
born and grew to manhood.
Soon after the close of the First
World war Mr.. Carder retired from
active business and with his wife
and son moved to Ohio where they
have since resided. John who is now
in Dayton was here Monday to spend
the day with his parents.
All in all, they have enjoyed a
well rounded life, say the couple.
Mr.. Carder is the last survivor of
his generation.
Mrs. Carder has a brother and
sister living. They are Atty. Charles
Riegle of Findlay and Mrs. VIM. P.
Turner of Greensboro, North Caro-
lima.

tuesday Evening Shower Fails To
Break Drought Now In Fifth Week

Buttons heaviest rain of the
month, an early evening shower on
Tuesday, hardly did more than lay
the dust, and the parched condition
of lawns, gardens and farms locally
was well into its fifth week.
Since the last week in June when
there were two heavy downpours,
the immediate Bluffton area has re-
ceived no rainfall of consequence.
Lawns are yellow, gardens are
parched, and farmers say that con-
siderable moisture must come soon
to prevent damage to late potato
and corn prospects.
Bluffton was on the fringe of a
heavy rain Tuesday evening, for
although precipitation here was only
a shower, a downpour fell in the
Beaverdam area.
Continued dry weather the latter
part of July bears out the predic-
ton of st. Swithin's Day, on July
15, when clear skies were said to
herald 10 days of clear weather.

ROOMS SCARCE AS
new Development
in HOUSING CRISIS
New Developments Calling For
More Rooms Point Up Grow
ing Shortage
Accommodations Sought For
Construction Crews and Col
lege Students

Growing scarcity of single furnish
ed rooms is the latest development in
Buttons housing shortage which
has become more serious now than
during the crisis of the war period.
Now virtually unobtainable, rooms
are expected to get even scarcer as
fall approaches, and there is no
prospect of an easing in the situa-
tion before next summer.
Room shortage developments are
the result of demands for single
rooms from two new sources.
Rooming accommodations now are
being sought for workmen to be en-
gagged in the construction of a new
addition to the generating plant of
the Central Ohio Light and Power
Co., as the first factor complicating
the shortage picture.
COLLEGE MAKES SURVEY
In addition, Bluffton college au-
thorities are making survey this
week, in an attempt to line up
rooms for women students who will
be enrolled in the institution next
fall.
Altho college officials said the first
of this week that they are not sure
what next falls rooming require
ments will be, the survey is being
made SO information will be avail
able and tabulated when school
opens.
AS the situation now stands, Ropp
hall, women's dormitory is reported
filled to capacity, as well as addi-
tional dormitory facilities which will
be provided by the Fl. w. Berky res
idence, Spring street and College
avenue, which the college bought last
spring. Accommodations will be
available there for Is sophomore
girls.
SOME TRAILERs AVAILABLE
Also available for married college
couples are 10 trailers near Lincoln
hall, two steel and aluminium tenn
porary housing project buildings ac-
commodating a total of four couples,
and two apartments in the former
brick projects building on the cam
pus. Several trailers are said to be
still available.
Lincoln hall will be large enough
for the housing of single men, ac-
cording to present prospects.
Rooming requirements for con-
struction workmen engaged in the
Central Ohio building project will
vary as different crews come here
for specific purposes. No average
estimate of the total number of men
requiring rooms was available the
first of the week.
However, the largest number likely
will be represented by the steel and
concrete crews, with demand for
rooms picking up decidedly in Aug
ust after the excavation is complet-
ed.

LIGHT PLANT BOND
is UP FOR
COUNCIL APPROVAL
Board of Public Affairs Re-
quests Council 0kay Of
S125,000 Issue
Sale of Bonds Would Provide
Funds For New Boiler And
Stack AT Light Plant

Buttons municipal council at its
meeting next Monday night will be
asked to approve the sale of SIPS, 1000
in revenue bonds to finance improve
ments to electrical generating
facilities at the towns light plant.
Request for approval, together
with recommendation for action,
will come from the board of public
affairs, which at a special meeting
last week approved the bid of
Stranahan, Harris and Co., Toledo
bond buyers.
Referring the matter to the coun-
ell for approval is necessary before
the sale can become final.
20-Year-Issue
Bid of the Toledo firm provides
for an issue extending over a 20
year period and bearing interest at
the rate of two per cent, together
with payment of a premium of
$2.24 on each thousand dollar bond,
thereby reducing the interest rate to
1.98 per cent. This was the lowest
interest rate of four proposals sub
mitted to the board.
The Toledo proposal also provides
that additional bonds may be issued
after a three-year period, providing
average earnings of the plant over
the period are sufficient to cover by
Ia times the amount required to
service the entire issue.
Dated August /, 1916, the propos-
ed bond issue will have as its
security the electric generating and
distribution equipment of the plant,
not including waterworks assets.
Bonds may be redeemed after a
five year period in inverse order in
which they are issued, the bond
running for the longest time being
the first to be called.
New Boiler, Stack
Funds provided by the bond issue
would be expended to cover the cost
of adding a new boiler to the plant,
constructing a new smoke stack, and
making changes to the building
necessary to accommodate the new
equipment.
Discussion last week in connection
with issuance of the bond issue dis
closed the board also is considering
the addition of a new turbine, to
provide for expanding electrical cur
rent demands of the town, at cost
unofficially estimated at $4,000.
