July taking its final curtain call—
a month marking Independence day
—and the rodeo and running
June a close race as month of brides
and here’s August with dog
days and it’s the last month of
the official slacks season and
swimming at the Buckeye and
bathing suits and vacation gave
some of the boys a sobering thot—
a frost in six weeks wouldn’t be too
good for the corn crop which is hit
ting its stride after a handicapped
start and gasoline prices chalk
ing up a one cent raise and if
your memory is good you may recall
when a dime would buy a hamburger
the nickel ice cream cone, stand
by of the kiddies, is about all that’s
left of the lower wartime prices
the brilliant display of northern
lights last Friday night was the
most spectacular in recent years and
kept many Bluffton people up until
long after midnight.
And speaking of wartime prices,
one local dealer said the other day
that some of the loudest squawks

over 80 cent butter came from the

willing to pay more than that for
butter when it was under a ceiling

couple of months ago.
Glad to see Bluffton’s band making
an appearance last Saturday night
in conection with the ice cream
social for high school band suits
benefit. Some 30 members directed
by Bill Holtkamp ranging from teen
age youngsters to ex-service men—
and Ralph Stearns, veteran drummer
heading the percussion section. The
big crowd enjoyed it immensely—
hope we can have more concerts this
summer.
Looks like a long way off—Nov
ember 23, but we overheard some of
the barbershop crowd saying that
the forehanded boys had already
sent in their orders for reservations
for the Ohio State-Michigan football
game at Columbus on that date and
that tickets already are hard to get.
If you ever go to Texas and ex
pect to enjoy a long and happy life,
don’t make disparaging remarks
about Texas jackrabbits, says Harold
Wenger, former Blufftonite now liv
ing in Houston.

ally nervous trigger fingers which
get more itchy when some ill-advised
visitor rashly declares that there are
jackrabbits larger than those grown
in Texas.
Just to prove his point, Wenger
sends a clipping from a Houston
newspaper recounting some of the
prize tall tales about the famed
Texas jackrabbits whether there are
facts to support the stories or not.
Take, for example around El Paso
where some of tbe native Texans
will solemnly aver that jackrabbits
there are so large they are often
mistaken for antelope and two of
them will feed 150 guests at a
barbecue. Ranchmen say the rabbits
are chasing their livestock.
At another place it is proposed
to solve the shortage of beef and
pork by substituting jackrabbit meat
and keep three packing plants run
ning full blast—anyway so say the
Texans and we are not the one to
dispute the six-shooter boys.
A letter received Monday by the
Ralph Badertscher family of South
Jackson street, written in a strange
language has aroused considerable
speculation as to its contents. The
envelope bears a Finnish stamp and
the letter consisting of several
pages, is believed to be an expres
sion of gratitude for a box sent last
October by the Badertschers for
central European war relief.
A Gilboa crew, the Hindall
Steinman Hardware company outfit,
is busy at the Bluffton Stone
company these days keeping two
drilling machines busy sinking blast
holes. The machines operate 12 feet
back from the edge of the quarry
and drill holes 14 feet apart and 28
feet deep. They sink between 5,000
and 6,000 feet a year at the quarry
here. The Hindall-Steinman outfit
also operates a general hardware
and appliance store at Gilboa. Mem
bers of the crew working here are
O. J. Hindall and son Jack and
Lawrence McCullough and son David.
Rt
W’e can’t reveal identities, but
there is a merchant who will vouch
for the fact that women definitely
prefer daintily scented wearables. To
prove his point he displayed two
identical boxes of women’s wear, one
scented and the other not. More
than 90 per cent of the women shop
pers made their purchases from the
scented box, commenting that the
merchandise was of finer texture and
better quality.
Another addition to the Half
Century club of Bluffton News sub
scribers is Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gratz
of Allen, Mich., former residents
here, who have taken the News for
more than 50 years and comes
a renewal from Mrs. Chas. Tenney
of Akron, saying the News is a
welcome visitor. Mrs. Tenney is a
daughter of Mrs. Eph Geiger of this
place. i
And speaking of old timers, there’s
Norbet Highland, Buffalo architect,
who was in Bluffton looking up
friends the first of the week. He
specializes in designing residences
for building contractors and has a
widespread clientele extending from
the east coast to Colorado. As a
youngster he was an expert in fly
ing kites and is said to have formu
lated some early plans in pioneer
ing of the present day helicopter.
His father, David Highland, employ
ed in the oil field here some 50
years ago lives in Maywood, Calif.,
with his sister, Mrs. Florence High
land Murphy.
Dr. Weldon Diller of Rawson, son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Diller of
Jackson street, who recently return
ed from the Army to resume his
medical practice will be at Cedar
Point next week playing in the
National Checker Tournament. Dr.
Diller, like his father, is a checker
enthusiast and his ability in that
field was evidenced last week when
he was able to get a draw from
Newell Banks, world’s blindfold
checker champion in a match at
Findlay. Dr. Diller was one of four
opponents taken on simultaneously
by Banks who played blindfolded.
In the four games Banks won two
and played two t© a draw. Spots
on the checkerboard were numbered
and “moves” of his opponents were
called by numbers and Banks, speak
ing in numbers directed the “moves”
of his pieces as readily as if he
could see the board.
Another former Blufftonite, Gene
Zuber, now superintendent of Whar
ton schools, erstwhile state checker
champion was the only one to deefat
Banks when the latter took on ten
opponents simultaneously in straight
checkers, moving from one board to
another, sizing up the situations and
moving his own men.

RHEUMATIC PAINS END!
One lady recently took RHU-AID
three days and said afterward that
she never would have believed such
a “wonder medicine” existed,
says she couldn’t raise her left arm
more than a fw inches. Rheumatic
pains afflicted the muscles of her
shoulder and arm. She could hardly
move the fingers on her left hand.
Now this lady’s rheumatic pains are
gone since she got RHU-AID and
she says she can use her left arm
as well as her right, in fact, she
says she simply blesses the day she
got this medicine and she feels like
an altogether different woman.
