SEAFARING, GOOD
AID TO EDUCATION
DARE BOY SAY
Daniels and Canady Have a
Good Time and Prove 1t
by Bringing Home
the Bacon

Two Dare County boys go back
to college this fall with a rich ex.
perience from their summer va.
walton and in addition they got
well paid for it. Moncie Lee Dan
iels III, of MAINS Harbor, and
thomas Canady of Manteo came
home the other day bringing
about $500 each for 40 day voy-
age on a Standard Oil Tanker,
which took them to tropical wa
tiers. Their seagoing careers were
as messboys serving the crew of
al men ona a scott. ship loaded
with $4,000 bararels of oil and
asphalt pitch.
Moncie Lee (Punkin), who is
going to State College for his Sec
ond year is now coaching the
Manteo football team, while await
ing his departure on September
%. Thos. (Bud) Canady has al
ready re-entered ECC in Green
vile.
The boys sailed on June goth,
stopping at Morehead City, thence
to New Orleans, and return to
Boston. Then they went to Port
au Spain, Trinidad, Aruba in the
Dutch West Indies, to Havana
Cuba, where they spent four days
and nights, back to Aruba, then
over to San Fernando and back
to New York. The boys say they
were not homesick enough to quit
the job, but had to leave the ship
because it was departing on a
voyage of over three months
which would have kept them out
of school.
The lush tropical scenery, the
deep blue of the southern ocean
the mountainous islands rising UP
out of the sea, and the quaint
ways of the island residents, al
proved mighty impressive to the
youngsters. They had many
chances to observe and remember
many interesting things. Leaving
out the money, they were we'll re.
paid for the trip.
"Punk" who is 20, is the sor
of Mrs. Helen D. Daniels OF
MAINS Harbor, and a grandson Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. c. Duvall.
"Bud" is 81, and son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Canady; is studying fol-
a teacher, expects to be a coach
In fact, Punk looks forward to a
similar career when he finishes
college. They are wide-awake, am
bilious youngsters, able and capa-
bleof going far in life.

ALLIGATOR RIVER FERRY
THEY TWO

They are left alone in the dear old home,
After so many years
When the house was full of frolic and fun
Of childish laughter and tears
They are left alone they two-once more
Beginning life over again,
Just as they did in the days of yore,
Before they nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these DAYS;
The children went one by one,
Away from home, on their separate Ways
When the childhood days were done
While someone would read aloud
To set the table for two.
And mother through weepng-can hardly see
Twas loving and merry crowd.
And now there two that gather there
But whether at study work, or play
How healthily hungry they used to be,
What romping they used to do;
They used to gather around the fire
At evening to read or sew
And it seems almost too much to bear
When they think of the long ago.
All, well-ah wel-'tis the way of the world
Children stay but little while
And then into other scenes are whirled
Where other homes beguile.
But it matters not how far they roam,
Their hearts are fond and true
And there's never home like the dear old home
Where the table is set for two.

Chicago Nothing To Crow About;
Bill Finds Happier Life In RIufton

Bill likes Bluffton and Bluffton is
getting to like Bill, the pet crow now
making his residence with the Carl
Smuckers at 100 College View drive.
Although the Smucker crow is not
the accomplished conversationalist
some of his brothers are, he gives
every indication he likes small town
life better than city life in Chicago
from where he recently hailed.
AS a matter Of fact Bill gave Chi
cago apartment jewellers "the bird"
and they complained of his raucous
vocalizing. That was when the Leon
ard Smuckers, who acquired Bill
while living on a farm near Bloom
ington, ILL.,, decided perhaps a better
place for him would be Bluffton,
where they once lived.
Now the big black bird has found
contentment in the pine trees near
the Smucker home and breakfasts
regularly on fried or poached eggs.
Mr.. Smucker explains that he has a
decided preference for eggs to grain.
"Bill likes people, likes to be close
to them, and has taken a particular

Production Record Topped
Second Time In Two Weeks
At Municipal Light Plant
Stepped Up Industrial Activity
Accounts For POUer Use Upsurge

The consumption of electric power
continued its upward surge in Bluff
ton this week and the municipal light
and power plant announced that a
production record set only two weeks
ago had again been surpassed Mon
day of this week.
This time increased industrial on
sumption accounted for the plants
production record, James Draper
superintendent of the municipal plant
explained.
Draper said that records at the
plant indicated a production of 20,922
kilowatt hours during the 24-hour
period Monday. This is 1915 XVIII
more than the previous high of Mon
day, December l., and approximately
1900 XVIII more than a former record
established in February of this year.
Monday is usually a heavy day for
the municipal plant when many Bluff
ton women are doing their washings.
Added to this was, the current requir-
ed for Christmas decorations in the
business section and residences plus
the unusual heavy industrial con
sumption Monday.
Recent increased use of electricity
bears out the thinking of members
of the Board of Public Affairs when
they decided to reduce electric rates
effective January /. They believe
that normal increased use of current
in Bluffton homes will compensate
for loss of revenue caused by the rate
reduction.
Lower rates, it has been explained,
have a history of being followed by
increased consumption. The new
municipal rates next year will COM
pare f~avorably with those charged by
the larger private utilities in this
area. They are expected to be an in
ducement for more industry to locate
here, also.

This Weekend
Post Office Windows To
Remain Open Saturday After
noon For Late MaiIers

Buttons flood of outgoing mail
began to swell in volume early this
week at the local post office, and
Postmaster Ed R~eichenbach said that
his crew was expecting it to probably
reach its peak this weekend.
, "Bluffton people have been unusual
ly helpful thus far during the mailing
rush in separating local from out-of-
town mailings and in keeping their
Christmas cards tied together in
groups" the postmaster said.
This W. countless hours of "fac-
ing" the mail-simply turning it cor
rectly so that the stamp is facing the
right direction to go through the AN
ceiling machine.
Saturday afternoon the postoffice
window will remain open until the
regular $50 closing time instead OF
closing at the customary noon hour.
By next week the local post office
will be mainly concerned with con,
pleting delivery o fincoming Christ
mas cards and gift packages. At the
peak, three extra carriers will be
working on Buttons two routes in
addition to the regular carriers and
their substitutes.
Likewise substitutes Jesse Yoakam
and Dwaine Amstutz will assist the
regular carriers on the two Bluffton
Rural routes.

DriUerless Auto
In Freak Mishap
On Main Street

Buttons Main street was the
scene of a freak accident Tuesday
morning when a driverless auto
started up from a halted position in
front of Meyer Appliance store,
pulled itself out from between two
other parked cars, crossed the busy
Dixie highway, and found a space
between two other parked autos and
a ireplug and continued on across
the sidewalk into the plate glass
window usedSfor display purposes by
the MaRass lift shop.
s&e&one VS. more surprised than
the owner the hayward auto,
William Edw& rds, who came out of
the Post OffEe to find his property
up on the sig ewalk and the MaRuss
window in Plies,
Leaving tn motor running, Mr..
Edwards hadv hurried into the post
office to maiA a few letters. He
said that he mbitually throws the
motor out of gear since automatic
drive cars have a habit of creeping.
Just how it slipped back into gear
could not be explained except that
it may have been bumped from the
rear or front by another motorist
parking his car.
Luckily the passage n Main
street was made when no other traf-
fc was passing. One pedestrian said
that the Edwards auto came up on
the sidewalk directly in front of her.

the children return from their holi-
day vacation, A. B. Murray, superin-
tendent of schools, said.
Since the school officials had not
expected the vehicle to arrive until in
January, preparations for its use had
not been completed. Mr.. Murray said
that two applications are now under
consideration for appointment of the
fifth bus driver, and that the appoint
ment will be announced soon. The
new bus will be driven by Francis
Basinger, who now has it in storage
at his home.
Before it "a be placed in service,
the State Highway Patrol must make
an inspection.
The new route will be made up
principally from two of the longest
present routes, although all routes
will be affected by the change. Addi-
ton of the fifth bus will enable the
shortening of most of the present
routes and lessen the amount of time
some of the children will spend en-
route to and from school.
Mr.. Murray said that an
ment of the schedule changes would
be made in due time. With the larger
fleet it will be possible to have a
reserve seating capacity on each bus
to take care of future added loads.
Under the present system, it was
necessary at times for pupils to stand
in the crowded buses.
The bus, purchased at a cost Of
S5,377, will be financed entirely with
proceeds Of the schools state trans
portation fund. 1t will not be neces-
sary for local tax money to be used,

January Draft
To Take Only 10
From Allen County
Reduced Quota Recalls Peak
Draft Of Last January
When 40 Were Called

Only 10 Allen county men will be
drafted in January, four more thar
the group of six taken by the armed
forces in December, but considerably
under the pace of the preceding half
year when more than 80 men were
indicted each month.
In announcing a reduced state draft
call of 1906 for January, Col. Chester
w. Goble, Ohio draft chief, said last
Saturday that the lower quota was
set because most of the states 20
year-old registrants have been in
Quoted.
At present, it is national policy to
call everyone in the 20-year-age group
before the limit is dropped to 1914
years, and induction of young men in
that bracket gets under way.
Allen county's draft call of 10 for
January is no larger than that for
Hancock county, and is for only one
more mar than the quota set for
Hardin county. Normally, Allen
county's call is at least one-third
greater because of the population diff
ference between the counties.
The state announcement showed the
following breakdown for all counties
in this ares in the January call: AL
len, 10; Hancock, 10; Hardin, nine;
Putnam five and Van Vert six.
Allen county's largest draft quota
during 1852 "a in the month of
January when az men were indicted.
During the year, a total of 229 regis
trants were drafted.
