SHORT INTERESTS
 AGAIN IN CONTROL
 0F STOCK MARKET
Call Money Relaxes Visibly. Rate Falling From 8 Per Cent at Opening to 6 Per
 Cent at Noon
sx A,.seiat,d Pr..,


 New York, January f9.-The profess eionkl short interest was again in con- trol during the greater part of today very uncertain stock market. mainly be. cause of the continued lack of public in' terest or support. Much of the days news was of hopeful tenor, the only ad- verse development-further delay on ths part of the United States supreme cours ir the much discussed Maccomber stock dividend tax case-being of a negative character. As a result of last Saturday excellent clearing house statement which left liberal margin of actual excess re serves in place of the previous week deficit, call money relaxed visibly The rate fell from per cent at the opening to 6 per cent at midday.
 No marked alteration was manifested in the time money market however, where the maximum bids of the last fort night continued to prevail, without Ioosening the sources of supply 10 more than a minor extent
 The attitude of the federal. reserve board toward credits formed the basis Of further conjecture, but no delihte conclusions were reached. The local branch of the central bank strengthened ifs ratio of reserves, but most other centers lost ground.
 Stocks were strong al the opening and steady at the close, but between those periods the trend was mostly reaction ary A few leaders of the class repre- sented by general motors, crucible steel Baldwin Locomotive, United States Rub Der and shippings registered exteme losses of to points. These were largely retrieved at the end, high priced oils and affiliated issues making substantial rallies.
 Bonds were dull and featureless in the main, nominal changes occurring in most domestic issues, except the liberty group, which denoted further pressure. Total sales (par value) were $1S. $50, 900.

At the highest of the day the leading months were to 16 points over the final prices of last week and at the lowest they were 20 to 36 under
 In the early trading the greatly inn proved weather over the belt caused some little selling, interior points wiring in that blowing was going ahead in some sections. Inv favorable view of the weather was strengthened by the forecast of no rain and little change in tempera- ture. The spot market was quiet in the early hours it gradually became known that large sales were made Saturday and around the middle of the day factors commenced to feel a better dema nd. This helped steady the market in the aft ernoon and caused recoveries from the ca arlier declines
 official reports quoted spots unchanged at 4o.25c on total sales of 5,2T bales. Januay closed at 39.s7c and March at s7.52 much commented upon discounts being still in evidence.

LaMoure Gets Trimmed

Somebody is always taking the joy
out of life. Just as we were all cooked
and primed to write scathing denun-
citation Of the kind of base ball put
up by the local pastimers, they go
and lam the everlasting tar out of
LaMoure, and if somebody hasn'.
been lying about the team over there
they have regular aggregation.
They recently acquired a crack bat
terry in two former Northern league
players.
Christensen pitched the first five in
nings for Oakes and Kahl was sent in
for the last four. The LaMoure boys
were ahead until the last inning, when
Oakes decided that the game would
look much better in the win column
so they started to lambast that old
apple until they had scored nine runs,
making the final count 13 to 6.
A game like that must be hard on
Bunk's weak heart, but when he got
home he was almost as tickled as he
will be when the boys beat Glendale
Keep it up, boys. We're for you
If you beat the county seat bunch
next Sunday we'll buy every last one
Of you bottle Of prohibition beer.

Prof. Wilson Speaks

Prof. George Wilson addressed the
voters Of this vicinity in the city hall
last evening on the economic ques-
tions before the people from the
league standpoint. Prof. Wilson is a
man Of wide experience and gave a
very interesting talk. He called at
tention to some of the wrongs being
suffered by the people through big
business manipulations, and proposed
remedies. The professor is in favor
Of government control of the packers
as one means of relieving conditions.
Among other things, he stated that
he was not socialist, bolshevist, free
lover or anarchist, and objected to
their use in the campaign. He plead
for fairness on both sides, offered to
divide. time with anyone who cared
to discuss the questions from the op-
posite standpoint, and urged leaguers
to attend all I. v. A. meetings held
here in order that they might hear
both sides Of the questions at issue.

SPRING FESTIVAL ON TUESDAY
Busy Week in Prospect for Members
of Graduating Class

A few changes have been made in
the plans concerning the activities
connected with the closing of school
The exhibits of the various grades,
and the manual training and domestic
science departments will be open to
the public on Friday afternoon, to-
morrow, after o'clock. The grade
exhibits will be on display in the var
ious rooms, while the high school sec
tion will be found in the lower rooms
of the main building. The domestic
science girls plan to serve light re-
freshments of some kind as part of
their exhibit, so we imagine it will be
popular place.
The baccalaureate services will be
held as announced last week, in the
M. E. church, Sunday evening. Rev.
Anthony has been selected by the
class to preach the sermon.
On Tuesday evening at 7:15, wealth
er permitting, Spring Festival will
be presented on the school campus

dren, under the direction of Miss
Henderson. The pantomime is entitled
Mother Nature and Her Children -
1t opens with the old crone, Mother
Nature, asleep in her chair, surround
ed by her family of grubs, bugs, mole,
and frog, all awaiting the call Of
spring. The first sign of springs
awakening is the dance of the sun
beams, which arouses Mother Nature,
who pokes the worms and bulbs with
her cane and breaks up their sleep.
The mole burrows from his hole, and
procession is formed, headed by
Mother Nature and the Frog. Other
dances are those Of the Easter Rab-
bit, the Meadow Grasses, the Flower
Fairies, the Butterflies and the Grass
hoppers, concluding with the Dance
of the Months.
On Wednesday evening the annual
