Final Grid Games
Carded This Week

Bluffton high school and college
are winding up their season sched-
ules this week with home games at
Harmon field.
The high school eleven will meet
Bellefontaine in a night contest Fri
day at s p. m.
On the following day, Saturday,
the college squad will stack up
against Defiance in the afternoon
at 2:15 o'clock.
While this concludes the regular
high school and college season, there
will be benefit game between
Bluffton high school varsity and
alumni teams on Harmon field next
Wednesday night at 8:15 p. m.
Bellefontaine is one of the strong
est high school teams in the Western
Buckeye loop this year, having lost
only to Van Vert. Last week the
Chieftans trounced st. Marys, Sd to
O. a team that Bluffton tied, IL to
IL.
Altho the odds are heavily against
Bluffton victory, good showing
can be expected of the Pirates, for
they will be battling to improve their
standing in the league, and they also
are remembering last years upset
defeat meted out by Bellefontaine,
which knocked the Pirates out of a
chance to tie for the league lead,
into fourth place.
BIuffton college is hoping to have
enough regulars back in uniform,
from hospital berths, to give the
Beavers an even chance with Def
ance's Yellow Jackets, and with a
little luck in getting some of the
cripples in shape for the game, the
Burckymen stand an excellent chance
to score their first home victory OF
the year.
AT least, it will be a different
story than that of last week, wher
Coach Burcky was forced to use only
a 10-man team most of the time il
a tilt with Grand Rapids university
at Grand Rapids.

Rubber, Vital To Warning Nations
First Discovered In South America

The Blufton Neps presents
the second of series dealing
ruth important, bat lesser knovn
aspects of South America. An
other instailment IN this series
aciIl appear nert week.-EDIToR.
Herman Cortes and his gallant
band of conquistddores relaxed one
day from the rigors of conquest to
watch Aztec athletes play their ma
tive game of tldchtk in courtyard
at Tenochtitlan, site of present day
Mexico City. 1t was not the game
so much as the bouncing object the
Aztecs used which excited the in
terest of the soldiers. This day in
1919 marked the first time any
European witnessed the Indian use
of rubber.
Throughout the colonial period and
into the 10Th century rubber develop-
ment in the Americas proceeded on
small scale, enough to supply the
limited demand for rubber erasers,
shoes, coats and similar articles.
Wild rubber trees of the Brazilian
Amazon produced the bulk, the re-
mainder coming from Colombia,
Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Chas.
Goodyear's invention of vulcanization
in 1889, and the extended use of
rubber after that date for pneumatic
tires, aroused worldwide interest, ul-
timately resulting in the transfer of
rubber to the Far East.
1t was Clements Markham, already
acquainted with the natural wealth
of the New World through his activ-
ity in the field of quinine, who sup
piled the impetus for the transfer of
rubber. Beginning IN 1872, Mark
ham encouraged several attempts to
grow Brazilian rubber seeds in the
Kew Botanical Gardens of London.
| None of the saplings survived when
| transplanted to the Far East tropics.
However, in the late 1905, Henry
| A. Wickham, young opportunist,
| appeared on the scene and to him the
British owe the success of their en-
| deavors He had roamed the Ameri-
can tropics since 1866 and had be-
come interested in rubber. He set to
work in 1874 to gather seeds to send
to England. Wickham's first few
shipments failed but he did not rur
up the white flag. In 1876 he man
aged a wholesale snatch of seeds
which together with a stroke of lucl
in the form of a new ocean vesse
lying in the Amazon River, com
prised the first step in the decline Of
New World hegemony.
One day in 1876 the first British
ship of a new Liverpool to- Upper
Amazon service sailed up the Anna
zon to Santarem. Wickham, in neet
of diversion, had dinner on board
Later, as a result of contacts estab
lished at this time, he managed t,
charter the AmazonGs, as the shil
was called, on behalf of the Govern
ment of India. Wickham himsel

County Auditor GiUes
Distribution OF Tax

Allen county real estate owners
have paid well over one and one-half
million dollars in current and delin-
quent levies and special assessments
so far during the 1912 collection
year, County Auditor Floyd B. Grif-
fin said last week.
- Gross collections for the frst-half
settlement, made several months ago,
totaled S803,352.72, and the second
half collection, settlement of which
has just been completed, aggregated
S868, 8,67493, total for the year of
81 ,672 ,O2S.68.
Inheritance tax revenue, derived
solely from estates, totaled S22,
1928. Half of all inheritance tax
collected goes to the state, and the
other half to the taxing district in
which the deceased resided. School
districts do not participate in the
revenue.
On the last half settlement, the
Allen county general fund received
$134, ,003.80; the county bond retire
ment fund, s84,536.77; the various
school districts, s328,375.9O; munich
palities, s303, ,367.16 and the town
ships, $18,364.21.
The Lima school district took
S201 ,031.84 and the city of Lima,
| $283, ,922.16. Dividing the city's
share, s81, ,567.56 went into the gen.
eral fund for operating expenses and

He then began the laborious task
of gathering Hevea seeds, using
great originality to assure the sue
cess of this venture. He recruited
as many Indians as he could find to
collect them, while Tapuyo Indian
maids fashioned baskets. Banana
leaves were placed between each lay
er of seeds in the baskets. Wickham
knew that if the seeds became rancid
or too dry they would not grow.
Loaded on canoes, the seeds were
padded up the river and put aboard
the Amdzonds.
Before reaching open sea, however,
Wickham had to pass the customs at

precious cargo seized by the authori-
ties! But again Dame Fortune
smiled. Wickham had friend, a
Consul Green, who backed up his
story that he had on board the ship
exceedingly sdelicate botanical speci-
mems, especially designed for delivery
to Her Majesty's own Royal Gardens
of Kew. That proved impressive
enough to get by-Wickham had al
