True Tales About Ohio

Swamp region, it was believed to
have been at one time lake bottom.
All through the Maumee valley dis
tinct outlines of former beaches could
be traced and 100 years ago bore
names such as "Sand Ridge" Oak
Ridge" and Sugar Ridge"
The region was swampy, tangled
and virtually a jungle filled with wild
life of every kind.
There is the story of David Muir
ply, the first white man to settle
among the Ottawa Indians there. In
1924 Murphy, with his wife and
family, floated down Blanchard's
Fork from Fort Findlay in a bark
canoe. He went three miles up the
Auglaize River and by bayou there
built a pole cabin.
Soon the family's provisions We're
exhausted and Murphy even was out
of rifle balls. Game was abundant but
there was no way to kill it other than
snaring the very small animals.
One day, fed up on fish and hungry
for red meat, Murphy sat watching
a bear on a lower limb of a big beech
tree, sleepily slapping at flies. 1t was
potential red meat but there was
nothing the settler could do about
it.
Then Murphy remembered firing
rifle ball into a tree back in the
forest weeks before. He went into the
woods, hunted up the tree and dug
out the bullet. Remelting it, he loaded
his gun and hurried to the bear tree.
The bear still was there.
1t was a tense moment--just one
bullet and a big bear. Resting his
rifle against the side Of another tree
Murphy fired. That day the Murphys
had red meat-bear steaks-and
plenty of il.
Murphys pole cabin was the first
house in Putnam County, It was not
much of cabin-only a "haf-faced
camp" Of the kind usually built by
hunters, 1t had three walls but the
front was entirely open. There, a
a fire was kept going and blazed all
night-to keep wild animals away
from the home.
kalida 100 Years Ago
As to Editor Knapp and his county
seat "Vulture." kalida, laid out in
1884 and named from a Greek word
meaning beautiful" was the seat of
Putnam County until it's courthouse
burned in 1866. One hundred years
ago it had four stores, Methodist
log church, the Venture printing plant
and 36 homes mostly log cabins.
When the county was formed and
kalida was laid out, Ottawa was only
an Indian yillege-Lower "Taw-town,
one of the twin capitals of the OF

to stab to death Indian Tom," who
had slain his predecessor. Tried for
murder by the tribe, Tom was SEN
fenced to death and the new chief
named as his executioner. Not being
much of an executioner, Pee Donquet
stabbed away a few times with little
effect. YOU'RE damn poor chief
don't know how to kill a man." Tom
told him. Then, Here, stab there"
and Tom laid his hand over his left
breast. Pee Donquet stabbed there and
Tom fell dead.

Although annual farm income has
been at record levels for several years,
the total II. S. farm mortgage debt
increased approximately 2 per cent
in 1916 and in 1947 and the total now
is about S4,sO0,000. The mortgage
debt at the end Of 1945 was the low
est in 30 years. Past economic history
does not indicate that farm mort
cages incurred In times of high prices
are paid easily when price levels de-
cline nor that interest charges are
decreased as farm income goes down.

|20tb Century Club Hears Talk
ON Modern japanese Women
By Ruth Dean

The speaker also recalled when he
was asked to be judge in beauty
contest. AS Japanese propriety did
not allow the contestants to appear
in person, the judges had to make
their selection from photographs.
The number of entries may be
guessed from the fact the voting
started at 10 am. in the newspaper
Office sponsoring the contest and
lasted until II pm. at a local res
taurant where the judges, still
locked in debate, finally selected a
winner at DR.. Shaw's insistence.
DR.. Shaw said he had also OBJ
served with interest the "archi-
tectural coiffures" of the Japanese
women. In order to keep the COM
plicated artistic hair arrangement
in place, though, he pointed out,
they must use greasy oil or "tsu-
baki yu" made from the camellia
tree seed.
He also described the beautiful
costumes worn by the Japanese
women which he said are particular
ly suited to their type and coloring.
They can't wear Western clothes
any more than our American wom-
en- can wear their kimonos," he re-
marked. Many of the heavy silk
brocades are still hand-woven, he
pointed out.
Mrs. Mark tEldredge, vice chair
man of program, introduced DR..
Shaw and two distinguished Indian
guests, Begun Hamid Ali, repre-
sentative to the United Nations
Status of Women Commission, and
her husband, Hamid Ali, a former
Indian government official.
Mrs. Geoffrey Creyke, club presi-
dent, presided at a business meeting
preceding the program when the
group voted In favor of extension OF
rent control for the District for
another year and for daylight saw
ing time for the District.
The action urging rent control
extension was introduced by Mrs.
Elgie G. Purvis, legislation chair
man, who called members attention
to the approaching expiration date
of present rent control legislation
and pointed out that new
housing cannot supply the great de-
mand." She asserted that pas
sage of legislation for the District
for another year would protect
present tenants from eviction by
landlords who would increase rents
without restrictions"
