Friday night, representing his class —1897—at their fiftieth anniversary. They’re telling it again this spring: A bushel a day Is the price we pay For planting corn After the middle of May. From Porto Rico to Bluffton in twenty-four hours—that’s made pos sible by modern air transportation, David Stearns, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stearns will tell you. David stationed with the navy at Porto Rico flew here the latter part of last week to attend the wedding of his sister, Mary Elizabeth to Robert Moore of Dover which took place Sunday. He left Porto Rico, an island in the Caribbean by plane at 5:30 in the evening and flew overnight via Miami, Florida, landing in Cincinnati at 5:30 the next morning and ar rived here in the evening at 5:30. While most people probably do not encounter more than one tornado in a lifetime, Rev. W. L. Harmony, former pastor of the Bluffton Luth eran church who lives in Findlay, has had two narrow escapes within the last nine months. Fact is the tornado which struck Findlay on Tuesday of last week came within two blocks of the parsonage where he and his wife live. Last August a more severe twister which devas tated Mankato, Minn., swept within two miles of where they were stay ing while on a summer vacation. On both occasions he said there was comparatively little wind where they were, although major destruction by windstorm was only a short distance away. Mrs. Arthur Badertscher north west of Bluffton has a goodly col lection of newspaper serial stories. Reading serials in current publica tions is one of her hobbies and she saves the installments of those she especially likes. 4. Efficiency 5. Flexibility 6.

Did you know that Robert Steph an who writes a radio column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer is a former Bluffton boy? His father, the late Charley Stephan about 50 years ago was proprietor of Bluffton’s Hotel— later the Hotel Russell that occupied the site where the Citizens Bank stands. The hostelry was destroyed back in 1919 in what was probably the town’s most disastrous fire. There are a lot of folks who start to keep a diary but those who con tinue year after year are few’. One of the most consistent we know is Will Kidd, south of Bluffton. For 52 years—since 1895—he has kept a diary and has never missed a single daily entry. Come to think of it a diary going back for 48 years would make a sizable library. Six “girls”and one “boy” who were graduated from Bluffton high school fifty years ago—the class of 1897—will be honored at the annual alumni dinner Friday night. All of the class are still living. They are: Mrs. Anna Herr Basing er, Mrs. Mabel Bentley Hauenstein, Mrs. Clara Lugibill Welty, Mrs. Myrtle Bentley Killen, Mrs. Grace Patterson Storer, Mrs. Bertha Lewis Fifer and William H. Romey. And speaking of graduateh of past years, there is a picture of the class of 1895 exhibited at the en trance to the Neu-Art studio in the Triplett block which should prove of interest to older Bluffton residents. African Crop Rice has been grown in Africa since the seventh century, having been introduced on the east coast by the Arabs. It is now grown in a dozen African countries, but not in the extreme south. Reduces Blood Cells Macrocytic anemia is marked by a severe reduction in the number of red blood cells.
