True Tales About Ohio
(Concluded from page 1)
tions and were alike terrorized by
the Indians.
Most “first” settlers were interest
ed only in hunting, pelts and the
game. They thought little of the
development or farming and desired
isolation. Few wanted neighbors
nearer than five or ten miles. Too
thick settlement disturbed the game
and when settlers began to flock in
the game was quick to disappear.
“Half-faced Camps”
As a consequence the first cabins
were built by the hunters themselves
without neighborhood help and were
“Half-faced camps”—log cabins open
in front and with only three walls.
As more pioneers came into the
wilderness their cabins were built
with assistance of neighbors in “rais
ings,” and their small patch of land
was cleared by “log rollings.” These
w’ere social events in the settlements
and always were followed by big
suppers and plenty of whisky, fur
i nished by the neighbor who had so
been helped.
There was a system to pioneer
“raisings.” First the settler would
go into the forest and select, fell and
cut in measured lengths the strong,
even young trees which were to
comprise his cabin walls. They would
be dragged to his building lot and
piled on the four sides where they
w’ere to be used. Then wide, tough
clapboards for the roof were rived
from even w’hite oak blocks and put
near the logs. Then the neighbors
were notified.
Everyone Comes
They came with handspikes and
axes and the anticipation of much
enjoyment. Each neighbor had a job
he was most adept at and the
cabin usually w’as up before twilight.
Some raised the logs to the places
they were to be used others notched
and fitted the ends others placed
the clapboards and put on the roof
poles. Then came the big stick-and
muJ chimney, the log fire-place and
mud hearth, and the chinking of the
cracks between logs with mud.
Then supper, the liquor, and the
raising was over. The light work—
sawing out a window space fram
ing it and fixing on the paper win
dow, greased w’ith bears’ grease to
make it transparent the wooden
door, wooden hinges and the latch
string, wras left to the cabin owner.
Furnishings of the cabin were
meager. There was a pole bed with
laced thong springs in the corner.
The mattress was a tanned buffalo
hide. The table was a split log w’ith
four legs and the chairs, rounds cut
from a log into w’hich legs had been
fixed—just three-legged stools. A
Dutch oven, large pot and skillet,
hollowed wooden dishes and a few
pewter tea and table spoons were
the household outfit.
Patch Cleared for Corn
Usually a small patch surround
iig the cabin was cleared for com. If
the settler had a horse, its harness
w’as of leatherwood bark and the
collar of plaited com husks, sewed
together. If he owned oxen, wooden
yokes were used. When possible he
plowed the ground with a shovel
plow—it was better among the roots.
They ground their own com in a
hand-mill or pounded it with pestle
and mortar, sieving it into flour.
Out of the finer they made bread
and mush, and out of the coarser,
boiled hominy.
Their meat w’as bear, venison and
wild turkey. It was difficult to raise
hogs or sheep because of the wolves
and bears. Consequently pork and
woolen clothes were very scarce.
Buckskin, homespun and linsey-wool
sey were worn by both sexes.
And so began every county in
Ohio, it was a wonderful life if a
settler could survive the wilderness,
the Indians, the hardship and pri
vation.

THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF READING
IS INGRAINED IN OUR PEMOCRACV,
Saving Food for Europe and
High Cost of Living
Get Equal Credit
Cost of Table Menu Has More
Than Doubled Since 1939
Pre-War Level
The nation’s voluntary food con
servation program has become a dis
tinct reality so far as the average
Bluffton family is concerned, but
whether it is due to local coopera
tion in the save food for Europe
campaign or represents a necessary
move dictated by high prices re
mains a matter of conjecture.
With food prices continuing on the
uptrend generally, except for eggs
and butter, governmental pleas for
further conservation of foodstuff
come at a time when housewives are
particularly anxious to cooperate—
for the sake of their own budgets
as well as for any desire to help
Europe’s hungry.
Despite high prices, however, there
is growing indication of a desire to
go along with the voluntary cam
paign to save food for Europe, and
the drive to cut down on food w’aste
might prove a blessing in disguise
by bringing down some food prices
should curtailment in purchases be
decisive enough in the next several
weeks.
In the meantime, the high cost of
food continued to be the favorite
topic of budget-conscious shoppers,
and percentage tables announced
last week from federal records dem
onstrated just how much the cost of
living has advanced.
For a base comparison, an Aug
ust, 1939, a grocery order for $2.50
was broken down to show $1 for the
farmer 90 cents for the wholesaler
and 60 cents for the retailer. The
wholesaler paid for transportation,
and he and the retailer cared for
costs of handling, storage, spoilage,
wastage and selling.
Last March, the same grocery
order would have cost $5.08. Of this
the farmer got $3.18 the whole
saler, $1.61, and the retailer, 29
cents.
Generally speaking, the cost of
food still is advancing, although
butter and eggs last week broke to
slightly lower levels, but that set
back may be offset by a rumored
boost in bread and pastry prices.
