"But an outgrowth Of the same cause
that brought about the earlier move
ment of grain in 1916 reacted to slow
down the movement later. The demand
for grain for export coupled with n
partial deficiency in the crop resulted
in prices FOR some grains, particularly
wheat, soaring TO an unprecedented
height. Many farmers are only now
marketing their wheat at $l.5O bushcl
and many of them are still holding
their supply for $500.
"On the whole, then, this incipient
shortage may be regarded with mixed
feelings, Notwithstanding the necessity
of putting forth every effort to prevent
it from growing TO more serious pro

THE TEAMS CHANCES
IN I0DAY'S GAMES
Expert Sizes Up the Football
Situation Among the Big
gest Kickers
BY H. G. Hamilton,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
~ New York, Oct. 2S.-With Dart
mouth meeting Princeton, Havard bat
Ting Cornell and Yale facing Washing
Ton and jefferson, there should be
east today to make noise in the west
if the far west only cared to hear it.
Cornell stands a better chance of
coming through victorious than any
of the other teams booked to do stunts
with the "big three. The Ithaca
gang has not lost game in more than
two years and this year no opponents
have scored on them.
Percy Haughton, the Harvard coach,
thinks enough of Cornell Is chances to
make considerable preparation for the
struggle. He had his warriors locked
up yesterday in secret practice and he
is expected to turn loose some of the
plays today that he had saved for the
benefit of Yale only.
Princeton ism It in the same boat
with Harvard by any means, except in
that Speedy Rush 5 long cOuntenance
has taken some of the pep out of the
jungle town rooters. At Old Nassau
they are confident Dartmouth's solid
backfield, veterans all, will he unable
TO pierce the defense that Tufts dis
covered was something in the stone
wall line.
Princeton has a good defense, a
grand light backfield, but poor Of
Tense at the smashing game. However,
Eddie briggs is one of the best punters
the east ever has seen and by his own
efforts could, in a pinch, work the oval
10 a point from which Dave Tibbott
might try a field goal. Field goaling
has come to be a pet hobby of Dave
Tibbott s.
Yale faces hard task. For two
years in succession the Washington and
jefferson team has wandered into New
Haven for few hours and returned to
Washington, Pa, with the long end of
the score. Previous to that Washing
ion and jefferson had played Yale to
81 scoreless tie.
If the Pennsylvania eleven is able
10 put across a victory today it will
have the distinction of being the only
team, with the exception of Harvard,
10 trample the blue three times in
succession.
1t appears from here that Bob Fol-
well, Pennsylvania coach, has bit off a
hunk that is size too large for his
face in the game with Pittsburg this
afternoon at Pittsburg. After making
grand showing against Penn State a
week ago and winning the praises of
football critics everywhere, Folwell
has been busy figuring out a way to
down Glenn Warmers gang.
The Army and Navy have compare
lively easy games today, the former
being scheduled with Villa Nova at
West Point and the Navy.

"The relatively large number of coal
cars and gondolas which help to make
up the net shortage in 1916, and the
relatively small proportion of box ears,
point out at once what is perhaps the
principal cause of shortage this year.
Coal ears and gondolas have been the
classes of cars principally employed in
the transportation OF coal and ore to
the large manufacturing plants. 1t is
probable, also, that a material part of
the box ear shortage is due to the de-
mand for such cars in the transporta-
ton of manufactured products from
the factories to the ports for export.
The whole condition is, therefore,
somewhat different from that which
has controlled in previous years and
deductions based upon the preccdents
furnished by previous years may go
wrong.
"This net shortage of 81 $50 cars is
worth consideration from two peints
of view. It is true that it is the larg-
est net shortage reported for this date
during the ten years in which the
American Railway Association has
compiled these figures. The figures
for substantially corresponding date
in each of the preceding years. since

DIoGENES' MODERN QUEST

If Diogenes should return to earth,
he might be kept moderately busy at
his original avocation of looking for an
honest man. Or he might turn his un'
doubted talents in a still rarcr quest
according to Grantland Rice in tho
New York Tribune.
Diogenes Up-to-Date
Diogenes dwelt in tub, so ancient
stories say,
Which showed that flats remained un.
changed from that old Grecian
day;
And day and night with lantern light
he wandered ~ and down,
Patrolling all the avenues which twist
ed through the town.
As each citizen passed by Diogenes
would throw
His lantern light upon each face and
sigh in abiect woe;
And through the throng he'd move
along continuing his search,
A vain and most unhappy one that left
him in the lurch.
The natives marvcled at his job, which
left them all at sea,
They wondered what the object was
and what his graft could be;
"Oh, tell us, please, Diogenes, at last
each passer cried,
''What are you hunting for old dog .
and straightway he replied:
al m hunting for southpaw who is
tood as EdJtp Plank.

"For the reason that it is the largest
net shortage at this time of the year the
greatest possible effort should be put
forth in the way of cutting out unnec-
cessary delays in movement in seeing
that cars are loaded to full capacity, and
in exercising moderation in requisition
OF cars for loading.
On the other hand, certain fellng OF
relief may be entertained that the short
age up to date is no worse. The peak
Of the demand for cars ordinarily comes
in October or early in November. In
previous years the maximum net short
ages were reached on these dates: Oct
ober 30, 1907, S6,S11 cars; November
10, 1909, 1886 ears; November I, 1912,
81 ,26g ears; and October 10, 1913, g.
04S ear. These are the only years during
the life of these records when net short
ages have occurred.
"It is, of course, well understood that
the reason for shortages occurring in
October or early in November, if they
occur at all, is that that month gener-
ally represents the period of heaviest
grain movement. Somewhat paradox
cally this year, it is the grain movement
that has in part occasioned the shortage
from being worse than it is. On account
o. abnormal conditions prevailing in
other countries there was large early
movement of grain by rail. There has
also been special demand for ears for
other purposes, especially coal ears and
gondolas, This created n demand for
ears which afforded premonitions of a
shortage earlier in the season than
symptoms of shortage ordinarily APP
pear. The net result of the early grain
movement, however, was to afford re-
lief for the condition of which it was
symptom. The extraordinary de-

STANDING BY M'MAHAN.

The Independent stands for l.. II.

and sufficient reasons, but does not
propose to speak i'll of any opposing
candidate. We know that Mr. McMa-
han is supported by many of the heavi-
est taxpayers of Marion county; that he
is an able man, an honest man and popu-
lar throughout the county. He is feared
by the ring and therefore one can hear
such erroneous statements that he will
not receive much support in Salem re-
gardless of what he will have in the
county outside. We have heard from
some of the most influential men of Sa-
lem that he will get big vote there and
a large plurality. The Independent
wants Mr.. McMahan elected to that of
flee in order to have the taxpayers of
