The saleswoman handed her an
other package.
That's ALL" Martha added
the package to the load in her
arms.
She had sudden sharp long
ing to see John; to hear his voice.
She passed the telephone booths
and stopped, resolute. She would
call him. She would take the time
off and let the chips fall. They'd
have lunch together at Dana's,
lust the two of them. She would
call him and say. "Mr. Bonham?
This is Mrs. Bonham, nee Martha
Fentriss. Remember"
''Mr. Bonham?" his secretary
said. who is it. please? Oh. just
aminute, Mrs. Bonham. "Martha's
heart had actually begun to f1utter
by the time she heard the secre-
tary's voice again. I'm sorry.
Mrs. Bonham, but Mr.. Bonham
has gone to lunch"
Martha hung up. crestfallen.
Still, it was a silly impulse. John
knew it was their anniversary. He
knew from the party last night.
He knew. and he hadn't mentioned
it, but anniversaries we're an old
story. After all. they were Gram
and Gramp now. John was busy.
He'd be lunching at his club with
acustomer probably. 1t was after
one o'clock when she dashed past
Dana's and stopped, hesitating.
LUNCH? She really shouldn't.
She hardly dared. Joyce might
have left the children with Mrs.
Herbig, and Mrs. Herbig might be
trying to clean with them under
foot. Too, there was nothing Pete
wouldn't swallow if Mrs. Herbig
turned her back. Nothing! But
just to sit down for a minute. Just
to catch her breath. A cup of tea,
maybe? And after all. it was her
anniversary.
She sank into a chair at table
in a far corner, piling the pack
ages on a chair beside her. April
twenty-ffth! She could still see
John that first time they met, and
as plainly as if it were yesterday.
1t was at school dance. She was
eighteen. John was twenty. She
wore ruffled blue dress. and John

Bumper Corn Crop This Summer May
Bring Government Controls Next Year

Bluffton area corn production,
which apparently will set new rec
ords this fall, may be sharply re-
stricted next year by government
controls.
This seasons corn crop has been
favored by almost ideal growing
conditions, and district farmers say
they never have seen prospects better
for a bumper yield. Everywhere
throughout the area tall stands of
corn growing rank in the field re-
fleet the stimulus of favorable
weather.
Many farmers, who recently re-
ceived their new government wheat
allotments, had planned to put next
summers surplus acreage in corn,
but indicated federal restrictions
may result in a hitch in the pro-
gram.
Rich farmland surrounding Bluff
ton comprise one of the major corn
hog producing areas of the state,
and as a result corn grown here
rarely is sold on the market. In
stead it is fed to hogs and market
ed in the form of livestock.
AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS
How much effect government con-
trolls may have on hog feeding will
depend on the degree of restrictions,
farmers say, and definite picture
of the situation will not be avail
able until government announcement
of 1850 plans.
Possibility of government control
crept into the headlines this week
with announcement that the govern
ment could own enough corn a year
from now to feed nearly third of
the nations livestock for a full year,
This prospect fed speculation that
the government will find it necessary
to resort to production controls on
the 1850 corn crop to prevent be
ing overwhelmed by feed grain
surplus.
An agriculture department croT
report pointed out last week that
this years corn crop looks as if il
will fall only three per cent short
of equalling the record 1948 yielc
of 3,G50,O00,000 bushels.
SURPLUS GROWS
The estimated crop, plus carry
over of S00,000,000 bushels from last
year, would provide a total corr
supply of 4,338,0 100000 bushels fol
the feeding season beginning Oct.
This is 1,158, 100000 bushels more
than the agriculture department ex
poets. will be used domestically anc
exported.
1t also was pointed out that the
government already has more thar
00,000,000 bushels tied up under
1948 price support operations.
A year from now the amount un
der price support could be double
that figure, and the government;
present support price is aroune
S146 a bushel.
If controls are invoked, the!
could take the form of acreage al
lotments or marketing quotas. Quo
tas, much more restrictive in thei,
effect on production than allot
ments, require approval of at leas
two-thirds of the growers in a ref
erendum.
In the past allotments have beer
used to restrict output.

Two Parents Are
Before Daley

Fred Asman, attendance officer
for Marysville Public Schools has
filed affidavits against parents
on two charges of not sending
their children to school.
Charlotte Huffman was charg-
ed with contributing to the de-
linquincy of her minor children
and found guilty. She was fined
$50 and costs and sentenced to
thirty days in jail. Both were
suspended upon condition that
the children attend school regu-
larly.
A similar charge was filed
against Floyd and Lydia Wood.
They were able to prove that
they were unable to COMPEL the
attendance of their child in
school. The child was ordered to
be confined in the Union County
Detention Home and will attend
school under the supervision of
the matron until further notice
from the juvenile court.
Marysville Schools have warn
ed that they will take action
against all parents and children
who fail to comply unless the
children are excused under the
laws of the state.

Redwood will Meet
West Jefferson In
Seasons Findle

Once again Richwood's Tigers
will be the underdog as they
tangle with West Jefferson on the
Union County field Friday night.
West Jeff has had a rather
successful season. London, one of
the most powerful teams in that
area, downed them 200, which
is no disgrace.
The Madison County lads will
be out to revenge last years 7-6
loss to Redwood. Playing in a
sea of mud, Gene Cheney, Tiger
quarterback, intercepted a West
Jeff pass and ran 80 yards for
touchdown. Chippy Chapman
plunged the extra point and that
was all.
This is Richwood's last game
of the season and they have a
record of one win and six losses.
