IOWA WESLEYAN
TO PLAY PARSONS
TO RENEW ATHLETIC RELATIONS
AFTER A PERIOD OF FOUR
YEARS.

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 2O.--Coach Beal
Of Iowa Wesleyan college, has receiv-
ed letter from athletic officials at
Parsons college containing contract
for the next three years, for the con-
sideration of the local authorities.
President Schell of Wesleyan, Is out
of town and until his return no action
will be taken. 1t was stated Tuesday.
however, that the contract, with GER
tain notifications perhaps, would in
all probability be accepted
This Is the climax Of the agitation to
renew athletic relations between the
two schools, which has for some time
been growing more current. Parsons
and Wesleyan have not faced each
other in contests Of any kind since the
fall of 1911, when dispute arose over
a football game. While Parsons Of
fered this dispute as an excuse for
breaking of relations, the real reason
was probably the fact that the Fair.
field school had no basketball team
with which to fill their Wesleyan en-
gagements during that winter. A bit
ter feeling developed between the two
colleges and not until January IL OF
this year was it realized that the old
quarrel had blown over. On that date
the Wesleyan glee club gave concert
In Fairfield and we're afterward enter
tanned at formal reception by the
sophomore class of Parsons, which
proved that they at least were willing
to begin on a new basis Of friendship.
At present there Is one open date
in the Wesleyan basketball schedule.
II the contract is arranged In time 1T
may be- that Parsons game can be
secured for that date. II not, the two
schools will begin in the spring with
baseball. President Schell Is expected
to arrive within day or two and the
matter will be Immediately taken un-
der consideration.

HOLDERS Of WHEAT
ON ANXIOUS SEAT
PRICE EASES OFF QUE TO FALL
ING OFF IN THE DEMAND FOR
GRAIN IN EUROPE.

Chicago. Jan. 20.-{iolders of wheat
continued nervous today and there was
a further downward swing in prices.
Attention centered largely on the APP
parent cooling off in the export demand,
but there was also unremittent watch
fulness for a possible embargo. The
opening, which was rs to &c down,
was followed by fair rally.
Subsequently seaboard advices that
100000 bushels had been taken for
shipment brought about sharp ad-
vance. The close was strong at IN to
31s @3Ac above last night.
Corn eased off with wheat. Substan-
tial support however. was soon forth
coming, and most of the decline was
overcome. After opening 1s@A to h@
sc lower, the market gradually hard
ened.
The close was strong at 7s to 1c net
advance.
Recent heavy sellers of oats turned
to the buying side. In consequence
prices for oats held relatively steadier
than other grain.
Provisions went down because Of a
decline in the hog market. The weak
ness of cereals tended also to induce
selling.

ATTENDS
FIRST SEMESTER
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED
STUDENTS GIVEN EDUCATION
At HIGH SCHOOL.
w. B. RICE is ACTIVE
Principal Adds System a. Feature TO
Bring Teacher and Pupil Closer;
Many At Night
School.

With the final examinations to be
given on Thursday, January 81, the
Ottumwa high school will have COM
pleted one Of the most successful
semesters in the history of the insti-
tuition. Not only has an opportunity
been furnished over five hundred stu
dents to get an education, classical as
we'll as practical, during the daytime,
but the night school, which was insti-
tuted last year, has also given those
who are employed or who can not at
tend school during the day an oppor-
tunMy of gaining knowledge which
they would otherwise be unable to
obtain. Not only has prosperity been
enjoyed along every line, but several
new features have been added, all Of
which tend toward the upbuilding and
improvement of the school.
Rice Changes Periods.
w. E. Rice, for four years member
Of the high school faculty, who was
selected by the school board to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of F. M. Hammitt, took up his new
duties as principal at the beginning
of school In September Since then
he has demonstrated by his successful
management OF the school and its az
fairs that he is we'll qualified to fill
the position. The discipline Of the
scholars has never been better, and
the trouble which has been expert
enced In the past In connection with
class parties and other school func-
lions has been totally absent. The
student council. a body composed OF
three representatives from each class,
was organized during the semester by
Principal Rice, and through it's rul-
ings on matters concerning the school
has tended to shorten the gulf be-
tween the faculty and student body.
Each day is now divided into seven
periods instead Of six as before, so
that the students have more time IN
which to study their lessons at school.
One of the most noticeable changes
has been the edition of the high school
newspaper, "Argus-News," by Editor
Lloyd Perkins and his staff. This
paper, which thus far has been a six
and eight page affair, fills long felt
want and helps to keep up the Inter
est In the school on the part OF the
students and alumni.
A great improvement is also notice
able in the principals once, as every.
thing is run on a systematic basis.
Permanent record cards are now used
on which the number Of credits a
student makes each semester are re-
corded, and the locker system Is such
that found key can be traced to it's
owner within few minutes. The
library is now run according to pub.
lie library. the enrolment OF the
classes with the number Of credits be-
longing to each member has been
posted and the final and monthly ex-
aminations are now run according to
schedule prepared by the principal

CHICAGO DAILY
MARKET NOTES

Sentiment of the grain trade last
night waS more bearish than bullfsh.
There has been enormous selling OF all
grains the last two days and the Chi
cago long interest Is said to be greatly
reduced. Some Of the heretofore active
bulls were short wheat last night, and
bought bids for today. Traders regard
ed the situation as one where sharp
price changes are liable and the future
course Of prices depends on the export
buying, and the inclination OF the
farmer to sell. Reports from the coun-
try indicated less disposition to sell all
grains. It is said that farmers have OBJ
tanned enough money to meet pressing
obligations and have already sold suf-
ficient to keep them busy hauling for
several weeks.
Selling of May corn, credited to the
largest recent buyers, combined with
the break in wheat, depressed values
IN. The close was at the bottom. Liv-
erlpool was fractionally higher. General
Where the corn went to was the mys-
terry. Much Of the offerings, however,
were absorbed by small commission
houses.
Sentiment was aginst the bulls, but
prices made several rallies. Country
holders were said to be less willing to
sell, having disposed of enough for the
present.
Arrivals here were lighter, and at
primary markets 2,2S6,OO0 bu, or 140,-
1000 bu more than week ago and about
double last years. Shipments Of 98S,O00
bu, against $4,000 bu last year Export
clearances, 5000 blu.
Cash markets were higher at all
points, but export buying lighter, 2oo,-
900 blu at the seaboard and $4,000 bu
In all positions here. Stocks are in
creasing faster than last year, and
available supply Is 100000 bu over
last year.
Rye had an easier tone in sympathy
with wheat. Demand less active, but
offerings small. No. 2 sold at $1,000
1.21 and No. 8 ct $1.1s. Receipts IA
cars. Minneapolis strong and INC high
err on buying by exporters, closing at
$1.16@1.17 Receipts 10 cars. Duluth
unchanged at $1.15@115h Receipts
four cars.
Barley offerings were fair, but the
market had an easier tone. Demand
was slow except on export account,

Tic, feed at 6S@70hc and mailing at
71@7sc. Receipts Sc cars. Milwaukee
lie higher at 72@7Sc. Minneapolis I'M
changed at 65@72c. Receipts SO cars.
Oats were under pressure from the
Armour Grain Co., which was said to
be hedging against recent cash pur-
.chases. Buying was scattered. This
with weakness in wheat and corn de-
pressed prices, and the close was at
the inside with losses of Nc
Cash trading was fair, with 100000
