Bluffton High and Bluffton college
gridiron teams absorbed one-sided
beatings last week at the hand of
favored and much stronger opponents
in games played on foreign fields.
Coach Dwight Diller’s high school
outfit was trimmed at Celina on Fri
day night by a score of 33 to 0, and
down the stubborn resistance of the
local collegians to win, 32 to 0.

Bluffton High had little chance
against the power of Celina which
has a capable squad including 15
lettermen and which is one of the
favorites in the Western Buckeye
league. w
The Bull Dogs scored early in the
contest, crossing the goal line twice
in the opening period. Bluffton ral
lied to hold Celina scoreless in the
second quarter, but the superior
strength of the Mercer county crew
was in evidence again in the third

Blackout On Ship
No lights were displayed outside at
night, port holes and all other open

It was a relief to all when the ship

Mr. W’atson operates one of

Through his organization he dis

vacuum sweepers, washers, ranges
and ovens, electric fans, irons, radios,
electric motors, lamps, wires and
cables, clocks, switches and metals
such as copper, brass, zinc and alum

companies. i
Australia is a land of curious
blending of industrial and agricultur
al developments, Watson said
speaking of his homeland.
in
Australia Unusual Land
It has the largest cattle ranch
in
the world, a single holding of land
larger than any four of our ordinary
states, and the contment annually
produces more than five times as much
wool as the rest of the world. Wool
and meat are the principal exports,
and an unusual export item of some
importance is canned rabbit, sold in
many places as fricassed chicken.
In Victoria, smallest state of the
dominion, it is estimated that there is
enough coal to supply the demands of
the entire world for more than 1000
years.
In fact, the entire state is hardly
more than a mammoth deposit
coal within five feet of the surface.
of
White Man’s Country
Altho as large as the United States,
Australia has a total population of
only 7 millions. More than any other
country, however, it can claim to be
a white man’s country.
There are only a bare handful of
Japanese and Chinese, and these liv
ing in the country are not permitted
to marry. No negroes are admitted.
In Australia there are anproximat
ely 20,000 aborigines, native inhabi
tants. Altho their skin is black they
lack the prominent lips and kinky
hair charcteristic of the negro race.
Natives Useless, Harmless
These natives, regarded by Austral
ia as harmless and useless, are entire
ly under government control. Of low
mentality and shiftless the natives
had no part in the development of
of the country.
Approximately 95 per cent of Aus
tralia’s population are descendants of
colonists from the British Isles, Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland. Dcsipte
their British ancestry, however, Aus
tralians are becoming more Amercan
ized every day, especially in industry,
and the tendency is to look on Brit
ish methods as too slow. They have
adopted American mass production
and American business methods, pro
cesses which England has been slow
to adopt.
Climate
and temperature of Aus

Live in Cities
A large portion of the Australians
live in suburban areas and rural sec
tions are sparsely settled. Sidney,
with one and a quarter million resi
dents is the largest city. Houses are
of stone and brick construction gen
erally, altho the vast island is cov
I ered by many dense forests.
Altho maps show large part of
Australia as desert the continent has
no sandy areas similar to our west
ern deserts. In the driest one-third
portion the average yearly rainfall is
10 inches in the next third it is 42
inches, and in the other third it is 90
inches.
During their stay in Bluffton, Mr.
and Mrs. Watson are the guests cf
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Triplett on Campus
Drive. They expect to leave about
the middle of next week, and after
stopping at several other plants they
will return to Australia.
In the pursuit of his business, Wat

Hold Open House
For Guests Sunday
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Habegger and
daughter Kathryn of Alta Loma,
Calif., will have the pleasure of
meeting friends at an open house at
the John Habegger home three miles
west of Bluffton, Sunday afternoon.
The occasion will be a farewell to
