Healthy Business Forecast.
Henry H. Heimann, executive
manager of the National Associa-
tion of Credit Men, says that keen
competition ahead and readjust-
ments that must be made indicate
some reduction in the high rate OF
business activity. But, he adds, it
is not likely this will be for pro-
longed time; the demand for goods
is too extensive and worldwide in
character.

Load of Lake Erie Fish Restoeked at
Water Works


Water Works
A load of large Lake Erie mixed
fish was restocked in the Water
Works Quarry Monday noon as
Sportsmen's Club directors continued
the fall restocking program. The load
was the second stocked in Bluffton
quarries within the last week. A
mixed load of fish were released in
the Buckeye quarry the forepart of
last week. Several more loads of fish
are on order for release in the Buck
eye quarry, same to be delivered this
week.
The fish, purchased by the club
from Lake Erie commercial fisher
men are trucked to Bluffton by the
Ohio State Conservation Division in
a special tank truck equipped with
aerating apparatus. Weight of some
of the fish was estimated at pounds.
Twelve hundred large fish were
stocked in the Water Works quarry
and one thousand fish in the Buck
eye so far in the program. Three
thousand large fish are still to be
delivered.
Among those on hand Monday

Scouts Study Conservation Program
at Wildlife Refuge

Scouts Study Conservation Program
at Vildlife Refuge
Over two dozen scouts and sports
men gathered at the Green game
refuge in Orange twp last Saturday
afternoon to study conservation prac-
tees in operation there.
The game reserve which is private
ly maintained and managed by Vic
Green of Findlay, comprises 6 acres
of open timber. Many of the latest
ideas on conservation are in opera
ton. A concrete pool, supplied with
water from a drilled we'll, provides
an abundant source of water for
wildlife during the hot summer
months. Wooden feeding stations,
where grain is supplied, multi-flora
| rose bushes and other. food shrubs,
alfalfa and barley paintings provide
ready source of food for songbirds
and game. Several rows of corn left
to stand alone the reserve provides
additional food and cover for
pheasants, rabbits and racoon.
Mr.. Green conducted the group
through the reserve and pointed out
long rows of escape cover constructed
along fences. Feeding methods,
especially hand scattering of grain
and suspension of grain filled burlap
bags in cover spots attracted much
attention. Small holes punched in
the bags allowed the grain to drop
out as needed. Bundles of sunflower
heads tied to bushes and long rows
of sunflowers provide additional food
source.
A stand of red pine trees planted
near the feeding stations will pro-
vide additional cover for years to
come.
| The scouts were particularly inn
pressed with the release of a live
racoon and the erecting of several
wooden squirrel dens and racoon
den. Much fun was enjoyed by the
group as these dens were hoisted up
ladders and installed in the trees.
A crow blind constructed of quar-
ried slab stone proved quite an at
traction. At one time, around the
year 1922, Vic was champion trap
shooter of four Canadian provinces
and his shotgun bears gold plate
with citation to that effect. Firing
