One of Buttons most important industries quarryng
is also of the towns oldest and most venerable business

Siddall and his 16yearod Lucus, established the
towns first quarry and later operated five OF them in this

with his family and tends two other
farms for good measure.
Another of those farms which
have been held in the same family for
four generations, the Harris farm
was originally acquired by Mrs. Har-
ris's grandfather, David Whistler.
Part of the present barn was built
during his ownership, but it was in
1915 that the present residence was
built by Mrs. Harris's father, Scott
T. Whistler. At the same time he built
an addition to the barn.
1t was the same year that Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Harris were married and
came to live on the "home place" The
Whislers then moved into Bluffton.
A similar move was made five years
ago when Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Harris
moved into Button and left the
farm in charge of their son Don, and
his family.
The Ray Harris's have only one
other child, a daughter, Mrs. Marion

Elida Widens
Lead In Northwest
Ohio Grid Loop

Bluffton and Pandora -Gilboa had
their Northwest Conference title
hopes literally trodden deeper in the
mud in the Pirates Homecoming
at Harmon Field last Friday night
and all but passed the crown t.
Elida's Bulldogs.
The 1913 stalemate left the Pr
ates with but only a ghost of
chance to nab loop laurels. They now
have ILL record in the NWC.
PCS mark is POL in NWC play and
they meet the big one this week when
they take on the unbeaten Bulldogs
who have 40 NWC slate.
Bluffton, one of the favorites in
this years league race, has been dis
appointing in league play since their
opening win over hapless Lafayette
And this came along with the fact
they have still to meet fast-improving
Delphos jefferson and Columbus
Grove and the always unpredictable
Forest Rangers, seems almost too
big an order.
The Rockets meanwhile must face
Elida this week at Elida. Then they
face Lafayette, Delphos jefferson
and Columbus Grove on successive
weekends. A big order as the last
two ball games are away.
The Bulldogs, who last week
romped over Lafayette, 1926, and
have already hurdled Forest, Grove
and the Pirates, must face Delphos
and winless Spencerville in league
play. In between they play relative
breather in Rockford.
The Jeffs of Delphos, the. only
other team which may have chance
to upend the Bulldogs for the NWC
crown, have yet to face Bluffton
Elida, and Pandora-Gilboa. They
stand 81 in the loop.
This weeks schedule:
Bluffton at Delphos jefferson
Elida at Pandora -Gilboa
Forest at Lafayette
Spencerville at Columbus Grove

RILEY CREEK is on the comeback
as fishing stream, local anglers are
reporting. Homer Steiner of Thurman
street says he has seen bass finger
lings in the stream near his home, and
many minnows can be seen darting
in and out in the weed growth be-
tween the rocks.
Fishing is already excellent in
some spots of the Riley beyond
Bluffton. Last Saturday afternoon
Dan Triplehorn is reported to have
landed five nice bass fishing with fly
rod and artificial lures. One weighed
3h pounds, another 21s pounds and
the others 1 Il pounds each.
Thirty-five years ago the Riley was
fisherman's paradise. The state de-
partment of conservation stocked the
stream occasionally when Harry Shall
ley was a deputy game protector.
The local sportsmen's club is be-
coming interested again in the
stream, and will ask the state to
again stock the stream when the
final sewers are connected with the
new disposal plant.

cording to Commander j. A. Helm.

fits of this bill.

Why Sleep?
From the Pubic Health Office

GAOH the EuDlc a Office
Sufficient sleep is an important
part of healthy living. Adequate
sleep helps you to feel well, ano
builds up your resistance to di-
seaseS. An occasional night of toe
little sleep will not hurt you
However, when you habitually GO
from day to day without enough
sleep, damaging results are felt.
A normal rested person might
ordinarily keep his composure
when he is suddenly confronted
with an exasperating situation: a
person who is ~overtired is apt to
exaggerate the importance of a
situation and become irritable, OF
become depressed far out of pro-
portion to the nature of the event.
So when you don't get enough
sleep it's harder for you to func-
ton smoothly and get along well
with your fellow workers, your
friends and neighbors, and your
family.
Students find it hard to con-
centrate when they are sleepy
and have to study. When she pre-
pares the evening meal, the house
wife is apt to cut herself as she
pares the potatoes, or let a bowl
slip and break, because she can't
pay full attention to what she is
doing. She may be cross with a
little child if he spills his milk.
or is too noisy. In addition to
running your disposition, insult
ficient sleep plays havoc with your
coordination and timing. Workers
who are short of sleep and rest
tend to be accident prone. Some
men who try to hold an extra-time
job to increase the family income,
have paid a heavy penalty in
damaged health and accidents.
Most of us have had to go sew
eral days in a row without get
ting enough sleep and know how
hard it was to do the usual amount
of work then. And when we did
have a chance to catch some sleep,
we were too tired to sleep well.
Some people have trouble 60
ing to sleep at night. At first
glance, sleeplessness seems to be
due to a variety of causes, but
except for those connected with
outright physical or nervous di-
seases, most of them can be boiled
down to just one - bad sleeping
habits. 1t doesn't make much diff
ference whether the sleeplessness
is due to reading an exciting story
late at night, or raiding the ice
box at midnight and loading UP
a "Dagwood sandwich" or just
The Sidney herald., 1955-01-13

lying in bed worrying about your
income tax and about how tired
you'll feel tomorrow because you
can't go to sleep. All these reasons
involve bad sleeping habits. Let's
switch an old expression around
and call it getting IN the wrong
side of the bed" If you 60 to bed
at irregular hours, or replace a
light midnight snack with a heavy
meal in a restaurant, you upset
your regular eating habits and
may toss and turn for awhile.
Strange though it may sound, II
you form the habit of going to bed
before you become too tired, and
do it regularly at about the same
time every night say 10 or
1920 you'll have a better chance
of going to sleep quickly than II
you stay up until you're so tired
you just fall into bed. When you
are very tired, it's harder to fall
asleep, and you probably won't
sleep well. You're more apt to be-
come restless and sleep lightly,
waking up the next morning still
feeling tired.
Good sleeping habits take prac-
tice. It's like anything else you
do. No one can learn to become
an expert swimmer, just by read
ing about the various strokes. You
have to spend many hours prac-
ticing to become a good swimmer.
Midnight snacks may aggravate
the sleeping problem. In fact,
~skyscraper sandwiches of the Dag
wood variety may play a part in
acute indigestion, as we'll as in
sleeplessness. A glass of milk, or
a small bowl of cereal will not
keep you awake, and probably will
help you to go to sleep, as hunger
can be a cause of sleeplessness.
Listening to the radio, watching
television, or working on hobbies
that persons are loathe to quit
T sometimes cauSes of staying
up too late. Late entertaining also
cuts out many hours of sleep. A
regular time and routine for get
ting ready for bed will help put
you in the mood for sleep. The
routine may mean reading the
evening newspaper or a light story
after you are ready for bed. Or
1t may be listening to soft music
just before you turn out the
lights and snuggle under the COW
erS.
A warm bath works marvels in
untying knots of tension and soak
ing away tiredness. After the
~leisurely warm bath, put on clean.
comfortable night clothes, read a
while if you wish, and soon you
will probably be SO sleepy you
can hardly wait to crawl under
the covers to drift off to sleep.

A regular routine for getting chill
dren to bed also helps put them
in the mood for sleep. It helps
when mothers are relaxed and
pleasant when it's the children's
bedtime. After reading them a
quiet, pleasant story, the children
will probably be ready to turn
out the light and fall asleep.
This helps form good sleeping
habits, which mean much to q
child's health. Your children need
lots of sleep - about twelve hours
for the %preschool youngsters, and
nine to ten hours for older chill
dren. Try the suggestions we have
offered, and if they do not work
for you, see your family physician.
