BLUFFTON TO HAVE STADIUM Bluffton, June 15--(U.R) —Work on I building Bluffton an up-to-date ath-| letic field is being rapidly pushed to i completion. Work under the general | direction of the city parkboard, composed . f W. W. Weisell, J. C. Mynihan and M. J. Sawyer, and with Coach L. E. .Means, in active cha:ge of the plans, ate rapidly leveling the field at Wilsoin park and otherwise fixing the ■patk into a real stadium. A quarter-mile track had been laid out and is being set aped to a level k’hen it will be completed to be one of the best cinder tracks in Northern Indiana high school circles. The football field, which in former seasons has been rough, has been leveled, with the lew sports filled in and by this fall should be in fine-condition for the home games of the Bluffton Tigers. The baseball diamond has been moved to the west and the infield is to be skinned. It is the hope of the high school athletic officials to stage all athletic contests at the new field, starting this fall. This means the abandonment of Jefferson park as the high school baseball field. An unusual feature in connection with the work on the athletic field is the laying cut of a tour-hole municipal golf course. The park itself has many natural hazards, ideal for the making of a golf course, and with the planting, of additional trees by the park board this spring and the building of bunkers and sand traps by several high school boys assisting in the work, a teal place for exercising their golf ability should be found by residents of Bluffton. There is some talk of making the course an official Municipal Links, hiring an attendant and charging a green fee, as is dene at all municipal courses. o Auto Races To Be Held At Winchester June 24 Funks Motor Speedway.

READ THIS If You Have Been Skeptical of Five-cent Cigars To the gentlemen of the smoke jury—to you men who have reached the decision that you just can't get a good smoke for five cents —we want to offer some new evidence. All we ask you to do is to try one more fivecent brand: Havana Ribbon. You’re going to be surprised! At last, for the small sum of five cents you can get a cigar made entirely of ripe, long-filler tobacco. Never heard of such a thing? Maybe not. But it’s a joy’us reality now. Not a strand of bitter, raspy under-ripe nor a trace of insipid over-ripe tobacco usually found in low-priced cigars. Nor any short, loose ends to crumble in your mouth. No, sir, Havana Ribbon has the fragrance, mellow-mild-ness, rich flavor of fine tobacco at its best. Because every leaf is fully RIPE. Risk one nickel, men —at any nearby cigar counter. Or, better still, try a Practical Pocket Package of five cigars.
