BLUFFTON MAY GET FORD PLANT Representatives of Ford Co. May Purchase Farm Near City for Factory Bluffton, May 20. —A Ford automobile plant to build Ford cars “from the ground up' is more than a probability so» Bluffton, according to developments that were made known this afternoon. Representatives of the Ford Motor Car Company, of Detroit, wore in the city yesterday and made ah offer for the Lew Johnson farm of 87 acres at the west edge of the city, “which I can't hardly turn down," according to Mr. Johnson’s own words this afternoon. The Ford representatives were here sometime ago and made Mr. Johnson an offer for his farm and yesterday increased the offer so that Mr. Johnson is almost forced to sell. The farm is ideally located for a big plant and, according to the representatives of the company, location on the Clover Leaf is desired. The John son farm is situated convenient to both railroads. Mr. Johnson stated this afternoon that while the deal is not definitely made, and he had not much to make public, it is a bona fida proposition and will probably go throught.

FARMERS FAVOR PURE SEED LAW

Claim They Know What They are Getting When They Buy Seed Now That the new Indiana Pure Seed Law which went into effoct January Ist., of his year is proving of material benefit to the farmers of Indiana is proven by the fact they often state that they now know what they are buy itig. Formerly any kind of seed could be sold them at the price of good seed. The new law provides that all agricultural seeds which are sold, offered or exposed for sale for seeding purposes in containers of one pound or more should be properly labeled. The label contains information as to the kind, variety, percent of pure seed, percent of germination, the locality, where grown and the date of the germination test. It also gives the number of seeds per pound of the IS noxious weeds ot most importance in Indiana. When Indiana farmers insist on securing seed reasonably free from weeds the battle against weeds will be one-half won. When purchasing seed, farmers should insist on the presence of the label. The seller is under obligation to put the label on the seed and the farmer is not doing himself justice if he does not demand it. The law does not necessitate the sale of good seed but simply requests that an analysis of the seed be given. Therefore, seeds which are of a poor quality and have any weeds can be sold but the farmers will know what lie is buying. Farmers should try to secure seeds free from the seeds of dodder, Canada Thistle and Quack grass because they are among the most noxious ot weeds. They should also try to obtain clovor. alfalfa and grass seed containing less than 150 noxious weed seeds per pound. Wheat seed should not be bought unless entirely free from wild gallic and cockle. A bulletin explaining fully the Indiana Seed Law and what may be expected of good seed in the way of analysis may be obtained by writing the county agent.

WATKINS GAVE GREAT ADDRESS TO GRADUATES (Continued from page one) Watkins after telling the graduates that the race ot life was now before them, "It is the man or the woman, that falls. The greatest problem in lite Is the human element. The thing that has never been worked out; the problem that has never been solved, the answer that has never been given, is the human element” said Mr. Watkins. The speaker dealt for a few minutes on the work ot the efficiency expert in industry, claiming that industry had been revolutionized by his advent. The word efficiency has found its way into the school system and the church, Mr. Watkins pointed out. “The real problem before you," said Mr. Watkins to the seniors, “is to create in yourselves an efficient man or an efficient woman, and then everything else will take care of itself. The world will buy the product but the product must express the heart.” The finest bunch of promisory notes the world has ever seen” was the manner in which the speaker characterized the graduates. “There never was a day," he continued, “when the call was so loud for real red-blooded American, men and women who are clean in life and clean in thought. What can you do? he said is the question which is put to a man or woman in some form, when they seek a position and the questions of what preparation he or she had is seldom asked. Mr. Watkins spent several minutes in discusing social efficiency, showing the great necessity for a boy or girl to know the answers to the big social problems which constantly present ■themselves. “An efficient man within,” .he said, “will do a great task in the 'world. The greatest problem in life centers in the home.” The next point developed by th» speaker in his address, was religious efficiency. “Until you get the faith of God in your heart all of your decisions will be wrong,” he told the graduates. “Your greatest victory will be when you can bring yourself into subjection" he said. In making the presentation of the graduation class, Principal J. L. D. Cline congratulated the graduates and expressed his belief that the record As a class would equal that of any ■class in the country. Superintendent Worthman expressed great regret that the other nineteen members of the class who started in high school with the graduates had .fallen by the wayside. Part of them were forced to drop their studies on account of death, part on account of ‘death of their relatives, and part had voluntarily withdrawn from school to go to work. Three things are essential for success, Mr. Worthman told the graduates. Those three things, he said, were confidence, determination, and efficiency. Following his talk, Superintendent Worthman presented the diplomas to the graduates. The Benediction was given by the Rev. C. L. Haney. Following the commencement program, the seniors and their guests enjoyed a few social hours in the Masonic Hall. Music for dancing was furnished by the Paul Spiegel Novelty orchestra of Fort Wayne, which playat the commencement. Punch and cakes were served. — « AMERICAN LEGION MEETING A meeting of the American Legion members will be held at the hall Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock. Business of importance relative to the Decoration Day celebration will come up and all members are request cd to be present 120-2 t ——— DID HIM MORE GOOD Many men and women suffer from backache, rheumatic pains, stiff points sore muscles and other results of kidney trouble because they neglected the first warning symptoms.

I don't have any pain like I had before I took them.” Sold everywhere.
