WEATHER OUTLOOK
HALTS WHEAT'S RISE
Rain or Snow for Southwest
Handicaps Bulls-Corn
and Oats Go Up.

CHICAGO, Dec. Promise OF rain or
snow for drought territory in the South
west operated as a handicap to-day on
bulls in the wheat market. Prices closed
unsettled, lsc. net lower to &c. advance,
with December s1.13ss to s1.13M and
Nay s1.17M to $1.17h. Corn gained
asc. to 1ac. to ssc. and oats &c to CSC.
Tn provisions the outcome varied from
sc. decline to like upturn.
Wheat prices showed considerable
firnIness early, chiefly because of ab-
senca of moisture where most needed in
Gle Southwest. Some notice was also
taken of estimates that wheat acreage
in France is so per cent less than last
years total. Buyers, however, failed TO
become aggressive, and with warnings
Out that Gulf storm was looked for
the majority OF traders leaned to the
view that the prolonged drought south
west was about to be ended. Another
Dearish influence was talk OF Ill success
OF Germany's attempts to get loan
from Great Britain Declines which fol-
lowed in prices were partly offset at
the last by rallies due to reports that
the Argentine harvest was turning out
less favoraoly than had been expected.
Wet weather in the corn belt together
with signs of good export demand for
corn tended to strengthen corn and oats.
L was hoped too that the war finance
meeting here would prove helpful to-
ward higher prices.
Provisions swayed in line with
Changes in the hog market.

Plain Christmas Cards.

Christmas cards now being bought
not only are OF the moro expensive va

coiored tones and an elaborate design

Knitted Ncckwear for Spring.

Manufacturers report already many
advance sales OF knitted neclwear for
early spring delivery. and predictions of
one of the best seasons in the last few
years arc made. Sales averaged about
two-thirds greater than they did in the
corresponding 1890 period. Reports from
statesmen Indicate similar trend in
the West. The advance in the price
OF raw silk is given as one of the main
reasons for the turn OF the public to
more moderate priced and more dura bic
knitted neckwear. Tho style for that
class OF merchandise is tending toward
striped and colored effects.

MAIL GUARD USES
WEAPON WITHOUT CAUSE

The inevitable result Of placing arm
ed marines on mail cars where they
become obsessed with an overdose of
authority, is that several cases of un-
warranted shootings have already oc-
Cured.
A warrant charging Private I. A.
Willis of the United States Marines
corps with murder for shooting and
killing Wiley Clarke as the latter APP
preached mail car at Blanchard. has
been prepared by the district attorney
there. Willis is being held under mil
itary arrest at Beaumont, Tex.
The shooting occurred Sunday, while
a train of the Kansas City Southern
railway was standing at the station.
According to eye witnesses, Clark ap-
preached the mail car which Willis
was guarding and recognized the latter
as the man who had ordered him off
abe blind baggage about two weeks
ago.N ;.
you're the fellow that put me off,
aren't you2" the civilian is said to have
asked.
Eyes, sir, don't you like itP" was
Willis's alleged reply.
Clark answered that everything was
all right and started to walk away.
Then it was, according to the witness
story, that Willis fired. The civilian
staggered and received another bullet.
His brother, standing by. attempted to
assist him, but was ordered back at
the point of the rifle, one of the wit
nesses declared.
Buddies of Willis say, on the other
hand, that Clarke had approached the
marine with both hands on his right
hip, as if to draw a gun.

Mrs. A. L. Wright, of Magda, Rap
ides Parish. is the best butter maker in
Louisiana, according to the decision
rendered by the judges in the butter
contest at the State Fair. Mrs.
Wright received a score Of 1926 per
cent on a pound of butter which was
the highest score made by any of the
women in the States who exhibited
butter at the Fair. This lady demon
strator availed herself Of the oppor-
tunity of having her butter scored by
the butter specialist at the Louisiana
State University last winter. She sent
butter six times during the year and
on each sample she received crit
icism which helped her to improve
the quality of her product. Since last
March she has made $40 pounds OF
butter of superior quality.

the scene of hustle and noise again
this week. as the big machine is clank-
ing out a long string of clay onto the
belt.
A full crew is now on this job, and
the business will be kept up until the
100000 have been made. The half
million bricks already made have been
disposed Of, and many more will be
made to fl the orders already booked.
{. The Llano hotel additiOn win also
call for a large quantity Of brick. and
then the uano workers viii be mould
ing their own homes from the clay
under their feet.
Fifteen thousand brick day is the
average run at present, of this MILL
and il takes about ten days run to
fiji the drying sheds.

CAN PAY 1920 AND 1871 POLL
TAX NOW AND VOTE

All men and women who expect to
use their franchise; All women must
pay before January /, 1922, their
poll tax for 1920 as we'll as their poll
tax for 1921. All men who, for some
reason did not pay their o20 poll tax.
can pay the poll tax for 1921 and will
be allowed to vote just the same as if
they had paid the tax at the proper
time. No doubt many failed to pay
their 1920 poll tax; and, now that the
bars have been let down so as to ena-
bic you to make good hy paying the
1920 poll tax when you pay the 1927
poll tax, there should be an incentive
for many of you to place yourselves
in shape for the coming elections.
