Morning Grain Gossip.

FURNISHED by B. G.. Christopher g. Col
Chicago. Oct 11.-Tribune: There is n
feeling among grain traders that prices are
low enough and the big shorts are even
Ing up. so that selling pressure is reduced.
There has been drastic liquidation, all the
longs have been forced out, and those who
have profits on the short side are covering
large lines. 1t is not expected there will
be big rally in prices right away, rs
conditions are not ripe for a bull market,
but the trade is looking for more stability.
World import requirements of wheat are
estimated at about the same as last year.
Rroomhalfs statement that the European
crop was $4,000, 600 bushels compared with
100000 bushels last year, confirms all
reports that import needs will be heavy.
The French crop In 1920 is estimated at
go, coo, 600 bushels against III. 600 900 bush
els last year, so that Europe. outside of
France, has a total yield of 6S3. 100000
bushels or 39,O000O0 bushels less than in
1919 The excess in the French yield is
practically offset by the deficit In North
Africa and the amounts required by Brazil
and other countries. so that theoretically
the actual world needs are in excess of
the 1890 season.

Captain of the 1920 Washburn foot
ball team, not only handled punts
beautifully in the Kansas game, but
his words of encouragement kept his
teammates from giving way before the
K. U. offensive.
Captain Stevens played a wonderful
game at end last year, and this season
the failure of Lindell to return made it
necessary for Coach Ream to switch
him to the pivot position. HIT is from
Osborne. Kan. weighs 100, and is
nearly six feet in height.
He is also a star basketball per-
former.
NOTES OF THE GAME
DIR. Forest C..~Allen, athletic director and
head coach for Kansas, not only looked
after his own men during the game but
up Washburn men, who were injured.
"Phog" as a graduate osteopath.
Several former Kansas and Washburn
football players were in the sidelines Sat
urday with their respective tennis.
The Washburn ROSTERS looked great as
they marched up from the depot headed
BY big brass band and with their leather
lunged cheer leaders out IN front. Several
Topeka people drove over, in motor cars
they went over to the Washburn cheering
section.
a number of people Saturday night ask
ed why the touchdown" made by Wash
burn was not allowed. The ball was in the
possession of Kansas man when blown
dead by. the referees whistle. After the
whistle blew the ball was fumbled and a
Washburn man grabbed it and raced down
the field across the line with 1t for n sup
posed score When-the forward progress
of a runner is stopped or he is in the grasp
OF an opponent the bail is declared dead
BY the referee and the whistle is blown
Leslie Edmonds is known all over the con-
ference is a fine official and there can be
no doubt about his work. He calls them
the way he sees them.
Even tho two games have been pIayed
by Washburn and both lost, the Ichabods
have fine chance to win the Kansas Con-
ference title. Baker and Friends, however
are going strong
Washburn will undoubtedly place a mum.

tember 2-To Handle Growing
Crop

Darlington, Aug. ga meeting
of long staple cotton growers has
been called here at II o'clock
Thursday morning, September 2. A
large portion of the cotton raised
in this couny is of the staple variety
and as there is no cooperative asso-

number of the growers in the coun-
ty have met and called the meeting
for all long staple producers in
South Carolina. The idea is to form
an association to handle and mar
ket the present crop.
The call is signed by A. J. A. Per-

Greenville, Aug. 27.-The case of

will probably come up before Judge
DeVore sitting in the court of COM
mon pleas. Bonham & Price at
torreys for the registration board,
stated that they were ready at any
time. Senator Bonham, of Bonham
& Price, said that he did not think
there was a more important ques-
tion before the people of the state,
and declared that the case would be
fought to the utmost. The case is
being watched with the keenest in
crest as it is probably the first of
its kind in the. county, if not in the
