Wesley VermilIion Farmer,
Living Alone is Found
Burned to Death
Neighbor Attracted by Smoke
From House Discovers Body
i'm Kitchen

]. Wesley Vermillion, "a, retired
farmer residing in Orange township
on Route 103 four and one-half miles
east of Bluffton, was found burned
to death in his farm home early
Saturday.
Howard Benroth, who farms Ver-
millions land, noticed smoke pouring
from the Vermillion home, when he
arrived for the mornings work. He
summoned Russell Ebay, a neighbor,
when he could get no answer by
knocking at the door.
Upon investigation they found the
aged mans charred body, with a
hole burned in the floor beneath him
and flames starting up the walls.
Crawled From Fire
The body was found between the
living room and kitchen where Yer
million apparently had crawled in an
effort to esfape the flames. The
Bluffton fire department as called.
Damage from the fire was small,
Chief Guy Corson said.
DR.. Byron F. Voorhees,, Hancock
county coroner, who investigated
said there were indications Yer
million had started a fire in the
kitchen stove, then sat down in a
chair by the stove and likely fell
asleep.
The chair i'm which he had beer
sitting was charred and his pipe was
on the floor near it. Death, rulec
accidental by the coroner, probably
had been caused by sparks from
Vermillion's pipe which ignited his
clothing. Time of the death was sci
at about $3.50 a. m, and the body
was not found until nearly half ar
hour later.
In Poor Health
Vermillion had been in i'll health
for several months, and had hardly
been able to walk for several days
prior to his death. He had livet
alone for a number of years. Ht
was never married.
He was born Feb. Is, 1865, in the
home where he lived his entire life
and where he eventually. met death
His parents were Isaac and Mary
(Elzay) Vermillion.
Survivors include two brothers
Albert, of Bluffton, and Edward, o.
Ada; and a sister, Mrs. Elizabets
Vanness, of Continental; and si
nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held Monda!
afternoon in the Paul Diller funera
home. Rev. v. C. Oppermann

KIN AS TURKEY To
COST MORE THAN
AT THANKSGIVING
Overall Cost of Holiday Menu,
However, VIII Be Near
Pre-War Level
Price of Turkeys Up Shade
From Thanksgiving; Other
Poultry Unchanged

If you intend to have turkey on
your menu for this years Christmas
dinner you will find that prices have
edged slightly higher than those pre-
vailing at Thanksgiving when the
big birds sold at levels reminiscent
of pre-war days.
On the whole the market has gone
up from two to four cents over
Thanksgiving holiday quotations, with
some possibility that prices may go
still higher next week when the big
demand is expected on Christmas
turkeys.
While prices for other poultry have
remained virtually unchanged during
the last month, present retail prices
for turkeys range from 40 cents a
pound for toms to so cents for choice
hens. Farmers are getting around
80 cents for toms and 40 cents for
hens.
Buying Rush Expected
Holiday demand has been light to
date, with heaviest marketing rush
expected early next week when whole
sale poultry buyers will begin their
holiday purchasing. What the price
will be at that time will depend or
how nearly the supply comes to
meeting the demand.
No shortage of turkeys is expected
however, for they may be found il
big fiocks on farms of many raisers
The supply Of geese also is plentiful
for the holiday trade, with farmers
getting about 35 cents a pound fol
| them.
Top quality roasting chickens
bought from producers, are pricet
from % to 80 cents a pound. Thos,
prices are tops at the farm for extr;
good poultry.
Other foodstuffs for the holida,
table are correspondingly low in com
parison with last year. Cranberrie
are bringing q cents a pound; tol
quality eggs, AZ cents dozen; butter
~ cents, and cauliflower, 35 cents
head.

Change i'm Terms to Follow
Lifting of Rent Control in
Blufft0n
Rentals for Dwellings Will be
Virtually Unchanged, Sur
vey Shows

Rent controls were ended last
week in Bluffton and all of Allen
county outside of Lima and imme-
date area, but survey here the
early part of the week indicated
there apparently will be no general
increase in the rates charged for
local rental property.
House rents ranging around $40
monthly in cases where the tenant
pays for his own coal and electricity
are expected to change but little as
result of the withdrawal of rent
controls which have been in effect
since early in World War II.
Although there win be no general
increase in apartment rental, in
many cases adjustments will be
made which in effect constitute
boost, especially where the landloard
nrovides heat and electric current,
ADJUSTMENTS COMING
Apartment owners who provide
heat and electricity pointed out that
rentals frozen eight years ago were
based on coal prices at that time.
Since then coal has about doubled
in cost.
Also, some landlords who provide
electric current are said to be con-
templating new arrangements under
which tenants would pay for their
own current on meter basis.
No GENERAL UPTREND
So far, however, there has been no
| indication that the removal of rent
controls will induce a move upward
in the amount of rent charged suf-
ficient to be reflected in a building
boom in residential construction next
spring. High cost of construction,
| it is generally agreed, will make i'm
practical construction of homes at
the level of rents forseeable in the
immediate future.
Decontrol of rents in all parts of
Allen county outside of Lima area
was announced last week in an order
affecting approximately $500 rental
housing units. Landlords in the af-
/, fected areas now will be able to set
their own rents for the first time
in seven years.
Rent control in the county was
established on Nov. /, 1912, and
offices were maintained in Lima un-
til last September when all records
were moved to the Toledo office.

Towns Water Supply Adequate
For Most Pressing Demands,
Superintendent Says
Abundance of Water Here In
Marked Contrast to Other
Cities with Acute Shortage

With water shortages assuming
critical proportions in many villages
and cities across the country, Bluffton
remains one of the few communities
in which you can use all the water
you want.
Even in the midst of protracted
heat waves and prolonged droughts,
Buttons water supply has proved
adequate for all demands, and Supt
John w. Swisher announced this week
that there is no possibility Of a water
shortage in the town.
| Altho the municipal water works
pumps in excess Of half q million
gallons of water daily during the
hottest weather, the heavy drain does
not begin to tax the villages facil
tiles, which Supt. Swisher said are
as good as any in Ohio.
"Use all the water you want
There's plenty for everybody" is the
standing offer at the Bluffton plant
This is in decided contrast to con
ditions in many cities, including New
York City where a critical water
famine is feared.
Four Wells
In providing water for Bluffton
the municipal plant pumps two well
to supply regular city demands, an.
two other wells for the Page Dair!
Co., the towns largest industrial con
sumer.
In addition to the four wells, ade
quate to handle local demands, tn,
plant has two other wells as standb!
for city water demands. Supt
Swisher commented that it is difficult
to forsee an emergency which woui,
make it necessary to restrict the US,
of water here.
| Bluffton uses 25O,000 gallons o
water daily in households, or abou
100 gallons each "a hours for ever,
Imam, woman and child in the town
The other half of the towns 10000
lgaIIon output is used by the Pag
Dairy Co. for cooling purposes.
Bluffton's water is tops, not only il
quantity but also in quality, plant at
taches pointed out. It's as hard a
any water in the state in minera
content, but from standpoint o
purity there's never been any ques
tion. Regular analyses of sample
tested in the state department o
health always have shown it to b
tentirely free of contamination.

Has Unique Desk

A unique desk is the property of
George Mclaughlin, public account
ant who recently opened an office in
the William-James hotel in Oakland.
The problem to obtain office furni-
ture was complicated by the fact that
although he would have a private en-
trance to the office from the porch
the room was open for general hotel
use during the first half Of the week
when he would be in Elkins.
The desk has pedestals to hold both
am adding machine and a typewriter
which can be folded into the desk and
locked when not in use. Since no such
a desk was made a special job was
necessary, which arrived about four
months after blue prints had been APP
