BEAN HARVEST WILL BE GOOD
VIII Be More Than Double the
Average Yield.

There Is cheering reassurances in
the news that this years crop OF beans
will be much more than double the
average yield. As a rule the country
produces 100000 bushels a year.
In 1916, however, when the demand
was greater than ever before. the
crop was only 100000 bushels. The
shortage was Immediately reflected in
the soaring prices. and the lowly bean,
as q consequence, came into new
prominence. Scarcity served as moth
ing else to bring about a realization Of
its value and an appreciation OF the
place 1t occupies on the American
menu.
This year, with only four 6f the six
leading bean producing states heard
from, the crop will approximate 22,-
000, 900 bushels. To this estimate pos
sibly another million bushels will be
added when further reports are re-
ceived. Then, too, In many other sec
tions, not especially known for bean
production. beans have been liberally
planted and have proved successful.
So, experts agree, the final figures
may show a crop of $4,000, 900 BUSH
els. The consumer this winterGhould
find beans restored to their normal
prices.
Navy" beans they are called by
some. by others they are known as
"army" beans. The New Englander
calls them merely beans. The refer
ence to them, however. as navy" or
"army" beans is not without signift-

General Butterfield had considerable
ability as an army organizer. and es-

these calls is taps, which, according to
the authoritative story of the general =

CURLEY ALIBlS FOR MORRIS
(By J. A. ERMATINGER)

MllsWAUkEE, WIS, sept. -
Evidence accumulates to confirm
the rumors that Jess Willard will
engage in battle before the present
year has run its course.
The worlds champion of all the
ring behemoths apparently Is itching
for a fresh supply of golden coin.
There have been heavy drains on the
fat bank roll he has amused since
he won the title from Jack johnson,
The purchase of a circus set him
hack mere 100000 or SO, and on
top of that there has been the eX-
pense of keeping the thing afloat.
Gossip coming back from the differ
ent towns where Willard and his cir
Gus have appeared indicate that the
people have not fallet very heavily
for the entertainment. The venture
has been a losing one.
Followers of the boxing game are
not interested so much in the finan-
cial ideas of Willard as they are in
the prospect of worthy opponent
being found to cope with the cham
pion. 1t is apparent to all that only
one heavyweight, Fred Fulton, stands
out as anywhere near the equal OF
the titleholder. II Is true that Full
ton is derided and scoffed at by many
patrons of the ring, but the fact re-
mains nevertheless, that the lanky
Minnesotan is the best of the sorry
crop of title chdllengers. He may OF

GR|DSTERS FACING
STRENUOUS WEEK
Scrimmaging Between Kendall
and High School Will Be
Inaugurated.
PROSPECTS GROW BRIGHTER
Much Needed Reinforcements
Due at Presbyterian School
Tomorrow.
PROSPECTS GROW BRIGHTER

Having spent week in passing,
kicking, learning signals and general
preparation, football candidates at
both Henry Kendall college and Tulsa
high school this week will enter upon
a more strenuous program which Is
expected to include scrimmages be-
tween the teams of the two schools
as well as scrimmages between diff
ferent teams OF the same squad.
Little by little prospects out at
Kendall have been improving and
while there is not chance to develop
a team that will compare with that of
last season. the indications now are
that none OF the secondary schools
will have anything on the Presbyter-
ians. The return of Allen has given
Coach Mefford a star for one of the
most important positions on the team.
In these days of direct passes, a center
can make or ruin n team and in Allen,
Kendall has a center. second to none
in the state right now. Despite his
light weight for a lineman, Allen has
proved himself able to hold his own
against the most powerful lines in the
southwest, while he is heady, sure
passing snapperback.
Price Comes Back.
Another good man was won for the
squad yesterday when Price, former
Tulsa high school star who a few
days ago deserted to take look at
Wentworth military academy, re-
turned and announced that he would
remain with Kendall. Aitken, another
Tulsa high school player, has joined
the squad, and yesterday Arbuckle,
all-state, high school end last season
departed for Madill to bring back
three of his teammates. Five other
high school men are expected to
join the squad tomorrow.
Youngsters Stepping Out.
In addition to Allen, several have
begun to demonstrate that they are
varsity class. Young, lineman on the
Tulsa high team last season, is show
ing great strength in the line and is
counted upon as a sure place winner
Setter is going good and SO is Malone
The latter has been working out in
the backfield, but II probable that
owing to his size and strength, togeth-
er with his slowness of foot, he will
be switched to the line. as faster ma
terials shows up for the backfield.
An encouraging feature Of the Ken
dali situation Is the eagerness dis
played by the boys In their work
Coach Mefford yesterday said he
never had seen a more willing bunch,
Two practices have been ordered

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 22.-
Fighting gamely against hopeless
odds, the Central normal eleven went
down to defeat before the Sooners
from the state university today at the
fairgrounds. Oklahoma scored the
most one-sided victory over the
bronze and blue since the beginning
of athletic relations between the
schools. The score, when Referee
Couldman blew the whistle end the
uneven contest. was 80 to o.
Despite midsummer heat the Soon
ers rolled up record number Of
touchdowhs against the inexperienced
Centralitfs. The later were outclassed
from the very start of the game and
could do little to stop the rushes OF

First Scores on Sinashes.
The Sooners scored twenty points
on Central in the first eleven minutes
of play, using Davis over center and
tackle and Graham, McDermott and
johnson circling the ends for long
gains Straight, old-time bucking,
short end runs and swings around
ends characterized the Sooner attack
for ten minutes, when finally Quar-

first forward pass The Sooners

 on Assuming Command

Anniston, August 25. = Especially Stating that he does not want the camp frontage to have the appearance of a street fair. and that the health of the boys in khaki must be protected by strict hygienic and sanitary laws, Gen. Charles c. Morton, who took command of Camp George B. Mcclellan Saturday,
 in an address to citizens from the An niston Chamber of Commerce, very probably placed condemnation on thou sands of dollars invested In land and vile pike.
 Referring to the chap lunch stands and other structures of like nature, General Morton said: These places must be closed at once, and if they are mot closed, we will put guards around them to see that they are not patron ized."
 The statement has cast a bombshell
 Into hundreds of "get-rich-q quick schemes that have been maturing for sometime and was the subject of much discussion on the streets Saturday night after the party that welcomed General Morton returned to the city.
 General Morton was visited at Camp Mcclellan headquarters by about 25 prominent workers in the Chamber of Commerce, including Congressman Fred L. Blackmon and Mayor [. L. Scar borough. The address of welcome was made by Lieut.. Gov. T. E. Kilby, whose remarks were most happy. ,sA1 SAC
