I To 0 DEFEAT At
IONA TUESDAY

The Belding football team accom-
panied by over forty loyal supporters
Journeyed to the county seat Tuesday
afternoon for the second football
game Of this seasons series and met
To defeat. The team was i'm
good condition and put up game
nght from start to finish but was un-
able To get the ball across the goal
line. The boys were outweighted
several pounds per man by Ionia. and
the latter team had also been greatly
strengthened by the sudden return to
the lonia High School OF Benedict. an
effective man of former years. How
ever the Belding boys held their OPP
ponents steadily throughout the game,
excepting in the third quarter when
lonia succeeded in getting the ball
across for a touchdown and goal kick.
In the last quarter Beldig got the ball
on the ten yard line within easy strik-
ing distance but was repeatedly penal
lied, drawing fifteen yards on three
successive plays.
The officials were Hall OF Kalamazoo
and Berger Of Portland. About 400
were In attendance
The Belding boys are not "sobbing"
about the results Of the game, but
would very much like to arrange a
game on neutral grounds with
neutral officials Such a game would
certainly arouse great interest and il
is hoped ii may be arranged.

that the Observer compositors are put

EXCHANGE OPENING
 P[EASES SINNERS
Cotton Situation Improves and Better Conditions
 Expected to Follow

Manchester, November 6-(Via London, s;45 p. m.)-Lancashire spinners are grat- flied at the first days business of the Liverpool cotton market since the war began. Trading was hedged about by many restrictions but spinners believe he Liverpool Cotton association will re- move all impediments to general trad ing as soon as the New York exchange opens. President Roxburg of the Liv- erpool association believes this will oc- cur about November IS.
 China is placing orders with Lanca shire spinners which has stimulated the mar ket and is regarded as the forerunner of orders from India and general de- nand for cotton goods.
 Many spinners express the opinion that the improvement in the cotton situation i5 largely due to Sir George Paish's ef- forts in the United States. While the Liverpool market was closed the Lanca- shire spinners had little trouble in buy ing spot cotton but the opening of the Chinese trade makes it imperative that futures be bought to cover orders booked. The Liverpool Spinners' association has fixed S1a cents pound as the minimum price to protect the trade against load ing up at a ruinously low price on the 60c0,o00 bales of American cotton raised this year in excess of estima ted demands.

STOCK YARDS RAzED
 BY COSTLY FIRE Three Quarter Million Dollar Loss in Kansas City
 COnflagratiOn

Kansas City, November 7-Twenty-five acres of cattle pens, one-third of the local stock yards. had been destroyed with 7 loss estimated at s75o,0Oo by a fire that began last night and still was burning early today Three men were injured by burns and falling timbers. The fire was spreading rapidly and another section of the yards was in danger
 While it was impossible to determine the full extent of the damage, it was apparent the local yards would be seri. cusly crippled in handling heavy ship ments of stock exchanged here as the re. suit of the quarantine of the Chica gc yards.
 While officials of the stock yards com. pany deny that cattle have been burned to death. one report asserts that 400, head Were lost. Only the sudden veerins of the wind saved the $1, ,00O, 900 live stock exchange building, within 50 feet of which the fire sterted.

 BIG GAMES TODAY
Auburn Tech and Alabama Sewanee Battles nterestuch Depends Outcome of Tennessee Vanderbilt
 Game-Result in Doubt

Atlanta, November 6.-Games between Vanderbilt and Tennessee and the Ala bama Polytechnic institute (Auburn) and the Georgia School of Technology feature collegiate football in the south tomorrow. Vanderbilt meets Tennessee at Nashville. while Georgia Tech and Auburn will clash in Atlanta.
 Other games in which much interest is being displayed include the contests between the University of the South (Se- wanee) and Alabama in Blrmingha m, North Carolina A. and M. and George town in Washington
 Neither Tennessee nor Auburn has met defeat thus far this season and are strong contenders for the championship of the Southern intercollegiate Athletic asso- ciation Both, however, will meet vigor- ous opposition, and critics generally hold the results of the contests to be doubtful.
 Sewanee and Alabama also appear to
