Liberal and south to Texhoma also
has some stain and considerable red
brush but a greater percentage OF
sound corn is evidenced here than
in the. districts farther south. Com
pairing crops with that of the Elk
Sayre section it is noted that the
bulk of the brush in the Liberal dis
trict extends toward green tip with
much "red in the boot" while in tho
Elk-Sayre section a good percentage
of the sound corn is red tipped with
green fibre at the knuckle. The west
ern corn also runs somewhat longer
but of coarse texture.
Prevailing opinion among resident
buyers who have driven the country
in that the acreage around Liberal
is about normal. West to Texhoma it
is believed there will be a reduction
in tonnage but south Of Guymon also
north very good acreage is reported
In the Shattuck and Leverne sections
buyers report the average tonnage
has been raised. Elkhart also reports
a good acreage.
In addition to the large number
Of buyers who reside at Liberal
there are perhaps ten to fifteen
others representing manufacturers
and dealers from Wichita and eastern
points who are making headquarters
here and driving the district for first
hand information on conditions. Very
little activity however is in evidence
as he farmers are too busy earring for
their kaffir, maize, cane and other
crops to interest themselves in
marketing broom corn at prevailing
prices. For this reason it is believed
there will be little activity for possibly
two or three weeks especially if the
present cold weather continues.
Up to dbte Oct %, shipments
from scattered points over this Sec
ton are as follows: Liberal s, SYRIA
cuse, Kansas 2, Elkhart 6, Laverne 8,
Guymon 6, while some few cars may
have been shipped from other points
it is evident that practically all the
corn north of the Elk-Sayre section
is yet to come.
The movement to date has been
too reflect market quotations but
prevailing sentiment among buyers
appear to be between $50 and $75.-
W per ton for the bulk and up to
about $125.O0 for the best brush &C.
cording to quality. The car situation
is reported good.

KNICHTSTOWN DOWNED'
BY THE RED AND WHITE.
IN BRILLIANT CONTEST

Uncorking a whirlwind offense in
the last few minutes of play, the Rich
mond high school forged ahead of the
Knightstown representatives and an
nexed the opening basketball game of
their season "a to 16. The playing of
the local team was a surprise to its
followers. and the predictions, made
during the weeks of training which
preceded the game, that the high
team would be small but fast, was
clearly demonstrated.
Team work was specially in evil
dence and every man on the squad
played hard game. Coach Null made
no substitutions and his judgment
was backed up by the rally OF the
team at the close.
Each Man Valuable.
To pick an individual star would be
impossible, each man taking care OF
his job in creditable fashion. Green,
at back guard, kept the Knightstown
lads shooting at long distance which
explains their low score.
Five minutes before the close of the
game the score stood Is to 16 in Rich
mond's favor. Harkins came through
with two well timed shots and Loehr
contributed one. Loehr made his big
@ hit of the night by dropping all his
four goals through from long range.
Amiek Scores First.
Amick chalked up one goal in the
opening half to start the ball rolling,
and after that he was marked man
being covered most of the time. His
size was little against him, but he
scrapped it out. Rost covered the
floor in good fashion his inexperince
showing at times, but he bids fair to
prove a valuable man before the close
of the season.
Cox, Knightstown floor guard, and
Holland center, showed up best for
the visitors. The Knightstown boys
showed good coaching and played Il
good game. They were not able to
work tho ball by the Richmond de-
Tense for scores.
Prospects Good.
Prospects for 4 good team at the
high school picked up with the game.
Although not exceptionally good in
their passes, II the men stick to train
ing and are able to set as dizzy pace
in future games as in Fridays en-
counter, they should be able to make
a good record during the season now
underway.

For the losers, Mathew was the key
stone of the defense while McPher-
son copied the scoring honors of his
team with eight points. Reeve was
the only other future dentist able to
score. The dentals have a fast team
and put up a good scrap although they
were somewhat baffled by the Quak-
er's defense
For the first seven minutes of play
neither team was able to score. Law
the hoop and this point was joined a
minute and half later by two more
on a field goal by Hall. The first half
ended with the Quakers leading by
six points.

in the second half and scored another
field goal. Earlhams defense tight
ened and the Dentals' total for the
half was held down to four points.

He goes clear round the world in night.
He's wonder at hurdling, he leaps over walls;
He's strong man, juggler as we'll
Look at all the pianos he leaves on his calls,
And ne:er have heard that one fell.
And he plays to the largest fan flock of them all,
For the millions who worship each deed
Are the osy-cheeked tots who invite him to call
And have faith that he hear and take heed
He's the greatest, most blessed, rare sport, honor

And the reason is plain; it's because
