FOOTBALL GAME
High School Team and Some Of La
mars Former Stars Have
Tough Game Last
Saturday.

Coach Koonsman gave his new high
school team a tryout Last Saturday af-
ternoon against team made up o
bunch of Lamar's former football
stars. The game was a hard fought
one from the start and was only won
by the heavier old boys after fight
that tested their nerve to the fuli cV-
tent They carried the ball across tine
high school goal line just once, ana
that after a long drawn out series of
hard drives. The lighter boys did
splendid work on the defense but could
not make any headway through tie
stars heavy line. The game showed
there is good material for team and
Coach Koonsman can be depended ON
to develop it. He expresses himself
as well satisfied with the progress 50
far. The first league game for Lamar
is with Ordway on Saturday after
noon, October %. Lamar, Las 4nimas,

OIL WELL STILL UNLUCkN
IIoodoo Still Seems to Pursue the Nee
No-Shc Company, But Officers
Are Optomistic.

Drilling oil wells is just one dog
gone thing after another-at least that
is what Charley Sweitzer and Bob Me-
Grath think. They struck oil nearly
two months ago, they know, but
whether it was in paying quantities or
not, they are us ignorant today as they
were then. First they had trouble get
ting the casing, then the reamer broke
in the hole, then they found they had
to get new casing, and finally it was
all set and they had bailed out five
hundred feet and the bailer broke in
the casing and now they are having
trouble getting it out. The men who
think all you have to do is to sell
enough stock to put a drill at work
and then off TO Monte Carlo to spend
the dividends as they roll in has few
dozen more gucsses coming.

 New Orleans, November 22.-During q good part of the session today the price
 of cotton was depressed by the heavy i ginning to November 14. but in the , late trading the market was very steady on realizing purchases by shorts and new buying for long account, based on reports of easier money conditions in the south and per cent call money in New York. One report had it that in
 some interior markets factors were so- liciting consignments of cotton and ad- vertising that they would lend money on lots that were to be stored.
 The census bureau figures of S,920,U bales ginned to November IA were alto gether higher than expected and they caused recessions of to 20 points around the opening, but the market re- acted almost immediately under realH- l ing by shorts and rose as high as levels 26 to 42 points over the close of Satur- day When it was pointed out that the | ginning report meant that the output this last period was 1,449000 bales, againGt | ], ,299. 900 the same period last year 929 Q

ACUTE DEPRESSION PARTIAL " THROWN
 OFF STOCK LIST
Improvements Extended Two to Ten Points In Many ls- sues In Face of
 UnSettlement
By Associated Press

New York, November 22.-In the vernacular of the speculative element, the 'stock market today turned the corner" the list almost as a whole manifesting an unmistakable disposi- ton to throw off the acute depression of the last three weeks.
 This improvement, extending from two to almost ten points in many is- sues, was accomplished in the face of renewed unsettlement in other mar kets for leading staples, notably grains and other food stuffs.
 Events over the Sunday recess were mainly helpful to the recovery of stocks. Local federal reserves strength ened, call money dropping to 5 per ,ent, the lowest quotation in many months, after opening at z per cent and gen erally believed that many impaired &C., counts had been taken over by strong interests at private settlement
 Forei-l exchange also indicated 1irmer conditions abroad, although London reported further distrust over the outlook for commodities and con traction in trading in securities grow ing out of the situation in Gras ace. Industrial developments at home, es- pecially in the west and southwest, pointed to coptinued retrenchment this being evidenced by the additional ee- crease in tonnage on leading railway systems running out of Chicago and St Louis. As was to be expected, to- days greatest gains were made Dy is sues of recent weakness in the steel equipment, oil and shipping divisions. The more conspicuous gains included crucible steel, S7sc; Mexican pe- petroleum, SAc; Panama petroleum, sA 2; Baldwin locomotive 4hc; Amer ican locomotive, Sc; retail stroes, !c; tobacco products, lsc, and Reading "12c. Other gains amnog rails es- pecIalties extended from to points. Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Convertible railway bonds benefited chiefly by the rise in stocks and liberty issues, also closed at gains Total sales par value, were $13,S5oo0o

GENERAL BUYING OF WHEAT COLLAPSED, CAUSING BIG
 DROP IN COUNTRIES STAPLE
By Associated Press

Chicago. November 22.-Paralysis of the general buying Jed to a collapse of 11hc a busheI today in the price of wheat. The market afterward ral- lied a little, but the close was. semi demoralzed 212 to 9c net lower. with December $1.60 to 1.60h and March '$1.55 to 1.56. Corn gained A to 21ac and oats lost A to 1Mc. In provisions, there was a setback ranging from Sic to $1.50
 Almost complete lack of confidence in the bull side of the wheat market was shown by a majority of traders. Some of the more adventurous spirits lin the pit evinced a disposition at the outset to act on opinions that a de- cided reaction was due after the dras - tic liquidation which of late had been forced on speculative holders. In creased selling pressure that uui ickly developed in, however, made would be purchasers take fright, and appeared to center attention more than ever on bearish aspects of the situation. Down ward swings of wheat prices there upon increased in violence, despite word of export business totaling l ,900,- 600 bushels and notwithstanding a big decrease in the visible supply total. The sole important exception was that shorts in March delivery covered ac- lively at the last.
 Corn and oats,' in sympathy with the weakness of wheat, dragged ielow any records since 1915. but then corn became firmer. It was said that d leading bear speculator in corn was reducing his commitments
 Acute depression in the hog market sent provisions down grade.

SHARP RALLIES IN
 COTTON FOLLOW A BREAK IN STAPLE
The General Market Close Was Steady, Five to Thirty-one Points Net Higher on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, November 22.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness and ,irregularity today but a break which carried December and some of the later months into new low ground for the
 season was followed by sharp rallies. the market closing very steady to 3l points net higher. January contracts broke from 16.25e to 15.4Sc, and closed at l6l9c. The market opened steady at a decline of 9 points to an advance of p points. near months being influenced by Deeem- Der liquidation and weak cables. while later deliveries were higher on covering. December sold up to 16.5Oc and March
 to 16,2oe, right after the call. with ac- tive months generally showing net ad- vanees. of l5 to g points, but the demand was readily supplied and prices soon turned easier again. Liquidation of De- Ieember continued, while there was south ern selling of the later months with a renewal of local and Wall street pres sure encouraged by full ginning returns, beariSh spot advices and reports that cot ton shipped on consignment to Europe was was not selling freely. The market was very weak and unsettled during the nAludle or the day Tn cOnSequence, with December selling off to 1555c and March I to 1490c. This attracted more active covering and the market was firmer late in the day on reports of a better tone in the stock market and of an improved demand for spot cotton in Savannah.
 Last prices showed rallies of 60 to N points of the lowest There were ru- lmors during the day that mddling cotton
 was offering as low as 13c at some in- terior points in the Carolinas and that strict middling had sold at 14c and 144c in Charlotte, N. C., territory on Satur- day
