BY Elmo Scott Watson
Indian Painter
By Elmo Scott Watson

HE early painters of American
l Indian life were all adventurous
men, but John Mix Stanley had
more than his share of perils and
narrow escapes from death.
Stanley first became interested in
Indians in 1888 and went to Fort
Smelling, Mimi. to paint them. Dur
ing the next eight years he made
frequent visits to picture the tribes
of the Southwest. In 1916 he joined
the famous march of General Kear-
ney and his dragons from Santa
Fe to San Diego, during which time
he laid down his painters brush to
take up gun and fight in several
engagements.
The next year Stanley found more
excitement awaiting him in the
North. He narrowly escaped being
in the Whitman massacre when that
missionary, his wife and Ii others
were killed by the Cayuses in east
ern Washington. He had another
close call when he returned to San
Francisco to take ship for New York
via Cape Horn, for he arrived just
too late to go aboard. That ship was
lost at sea.
In 1853 Stanley was appointed art
ist to the expedition sent to explore
route for a Pacific railroad from
st. Paul to Puget Sound. After a
series of adventures with that expe-
dition, he returned to the East,
where he died in 1872. The last
years of his life were saddened by
the loss of more than $50 paintings
of Indian life which he had spent
10 years in making and which were
destroyed by fire in 1865.

Easter's in the air with shop
ping for new wearables-colofing
eggs IN furtive moments to help the
overworked Easter bunny =. never
could figure out how bunny made
nest and laid eggs-but after all
there are lot Of things that can't
be explained and speaking OF
eggs, some folks with good memories
were telling us that back in 1882
you could get all the eggs you want
ed at Eastertime for nine cents
dozen-which means that after all
We're long way from 1882 and
from late reports of retail trade,
Bluffton's Easter parade should be
good this year-provided it doesn't
rain-and if it does, then according
to the oldtimers, there will be rain
for seven Sundays and the
Easter hats, they say, will give an
overall effect something like those
great grandma wore back in the
ighties-plus some modern glamour
touches and gardeners busy
since the weather turned warm .
click of lawn mowers is being heard
for the first time early cherry
trees bursting into full bloom
and farmers making the most of this
! opportunity for spring tillage-some
| of them were in the fields last Sun
| day !. schools closed for the week

onset of graduation events next
month congratulations to Ed
Reichenbach who rounds out fifteen
years as Observation-Disclosures has
grown a lot since he took over
affairs at the post office-they say

started for one of television's big
trunk lines running just west of
| Maple Grove cemetery-wonder what
old Joseph DeFord, Buttons first
settler would have thought of such
a contraption when he built his little
grist mill on the banks Of Riley
creek. more than a century ago.
The Ed Lapes back from a So
| iourn through the southwest includ-
ing some three weeks in Mexico
which they say was one of the high
lights of the trip-beautiful coun-
try, especially in early spring-no
red tape for tourists on crossing the
border and the natives are courteous
and anxious to please-Mexico, like
many other countries, has come to
realize that entertaining tourists can
be developed into large and profit
able business and is making every
effort to get its share.
Swimming for the first of the
[ season was reported at the National
quarry Tuesday. Water of the
quarry warmed by discharge from
turbines at the Woodcock generating
plant is especially enticing this time
of the year. However swimming in
the quarry is forbidden and is con-
sidered dangerous. Better wait
boys, until the Buckeye opens.
And speaking of tourist trade,
Ohio this summer is organizing to
make a definite bid for this busi-
ness-resorts along Lake Erie, tours
of scenic regions and attractions OF
numerous small lakes will be featur,
ed in a combined effort to present
Ohio's advantages as a vacation
state. One angle will be that OF
economy-most timely this year wher
| travellers will watch their budgets
and vacation spots here, they say
will not exploit the visitor as dc
some of the better known and es
tablished areas.

bon Hamman, former BiufftOn
college student and his wife, who
was Doris Garmatter of this place,
engaged in relief work at Torino,
Italy, We're surprised the other day
to see an item from Button in the
Daily American, published at Rome.
It was a dispatch from Toledo con-
corning the case of Larry Cara,
Bluffton college instructor on trial
in the Federal court charged with
violation of the selectiye service act.
It didn't look like the same old
place to Ed Quaintance, one of
Buttons real old timers who left
here in 1875 and moved to Leipsic.
Quaintance was here Tuesday, ac-
companied by Daniel Brectt, also of
Leipsic looking up friends and re-
calling early local history He re-
calls that Buttons school in those
days was a frame building standing
on the site of the present Grade
school building on Jackson street.
1t was something of a district
school with Supt Flenner in charge.
The frame structure was later re-
moved to make way for the present
brick structure.
Times change-and that includes
practices in barn building. Of all
the new barns that have been built
in this area following the tornado
of year ago which did widespread
damage northwest of town, few if
any are equipped with the louvre or
shutter type ventilators around the
sides or with cupola ventilators such
as adorned the roofs Of most new
barns a generation or two ago. Also
lightning rods which formerly were
an essential part of any barn con-
struction are missing on a lot of
the new buildings.

Picture Of New Type
Service Station Here
Appears In Mdgdzine

A picture of B. A. Sherrow's Oval
E Servicenter on the northwest cor
ner of the intersection of Second
avenue with West Main street, Lau-
rel, appeared in the June issue of
The Link, a trade magazine pub
lished by Carter Oil company, Tul-
sa, Okla. The Laurel station was the
first porcelain enamel structure of
its kind by Carter, which serves as
a pilot station for others since erect
ed or planned. 1t was completed and
placed in operation a few months ago
as a modern replacement for an older
service station.
The Carter company, which mar
kets in eight Rocky Mountain states,
expects to rebuild 20 stations after
the pattern set here, together with
20 others on new locations.
The Link issue for June showed
some of the competitions, three in
Denver and others at Billings, Sand
Point, Ida, and Aurora, a suburb of
Denver.
Also in the magazine was a large
of the company's new station
at Cooke City, northeast entrance to
Yellowstone park, which appeared
a recent edition of the Laurel
Outlook. The Cooke building is al
pine in design to harmonic with the
urrounding mountains.
