BY W. l. HUGGINs. JR.

Rusty Cossman, who was elected |
football captain of the Ichabods for |
the 1921 season, is the best bet in the /
college for that honor
Playing every minute of every game
and starring every minute, Cossman |
was the only man in Washburn to |

compiled by E. A. Mcbride of the |
Kansas City Star. His six feet four |

100 pounds of fight and muscle, made
him a huge factor in every Washburn

Albrecht. Baron Won Platen and
Prince Hohenlohe Langenburg, who
attacked members of the French com
mission at the Hotel Adlon recently,
were given a quick trial and were

Prince Joachim was decidedly nerv-

admitted he had been drinking "a

He claimed, however. there had been

said it had been established by the

lima two weeks ago. they voted down
the women candidates and recognized
both the women and the negroes by
giving them places as alternates. The
Democrats seemingly have no thought
OF repeating this action.
Just as David w. Mulvane held the
high score in the voting in the Re
publican convention. so may Robert
w Blair of Topeka be the most pop
ular Big Four candidate at Wichita.
Blair has been one of the real faith
fuls in the Bourbon cause in Kansas.
When the party organization was an
insolvent institution in Kansas, Blair
always helped to beat the tom toms.
He always gave of his money and time,
but never sought political office. Now
he wants to go to the Frisco gather
ing-rather he consented to run be-
cause his friends refused to withdraw
his name-and now it looks as tho he
should corral almost every vote in the
convention.
Big Four Possibilities.
Other Big Four possibilities include
Jouett Shouse, Kinsley; w. H. Thomp-
son, Kansas City; George II. Hodges,
Olathe; Henderson S. Martin, Law
renee; Ben s. Gaitskill, Girard; Judge
A. NJ. jackson, Winfield; Guy T. Hell
vering, Marysville. Both Big -Four
and district delegates will be named at
Wichita. The district delegations will
probably include the former Bourbon
congressman from the Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth as well as w. a. Ayres. present
congressman from the Eighth district.
Sam Amidon, of Wichita, will be re-
elected as national committeeman at
Wichita, it appears, without a contest.
Amidon, who is Governor Aliens most
bitter enemy, is also receiving BOOM
let in reference to the governorship.
Amidon and Governor Allen have no
views in common. Amidon is "sot"
against the Industrial court act. In
fact he is opposed to almost everything
the Allen administration has done. He
would start with the support of the
federal patronage crowd and would
register behind him the labor or
ganization interests opposed to the
new court act.
Guy T. Helvering of Marysville. for

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. April 17.-CoRN-Weakness de-
veoped in the corn market today chiefly
owing to prospects of speedy end of the
railway strike. With improved trasfic con-
dftions, large receipts were looked for. Ex-
cellent weather counted also as bearish
factor. Opening prices, which varied from
unchanged figures to IL &c lower with May
81 GS1a to $1.69A and July $1.03ss to Sf.64,
were followed by moderate rallies, but even
then by n fresh decline.
During the last part of the session an up
turn took place in connection with week
end adjustment of trades. The close was
firm at the same as yesterdays finish to
1ac higher.
OATS-Oats were weak with corn and
as a result of continued talk of re-selling
of oats on the part of the foreigners. After
