terest has conferred in basketball
for the past four or five years and
not until this year has there been
an organized effort put forth TO in
trOduce other branches OF sport.

already burdened down with his

team.
Bright Outlook
The local high school baseball
team had a splendid work out
yesterday evening, and Coach
Copp is much encouraged with the
prospects for Aoday's gamo with

in good form with the exception of
Catcher Gump. who has been un-
able to do difficult practice be-
cause OF an injured hand, and
Underwood, pitcher, who has a
very sore arm as a result Of the
game with Grant Town last Fri
day. With Wilson, Toothman and
A. Ammons in good conditions for
the mound and Wyer for the back
stop position, the team ought to
come through today's game with
colors. flying. Those making the
trip are: Wyer and Gump, cat
cheers; Wilson, Ammons land
Toothman, pitchers; N. Michael,
P. Michael, B. Ammons, infelders;
and Knisely, Wilson, Mason az

sary.

MARKET NOTES

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.--The financial.
Industrial and commercial depression
of 1921 seemed to exercise little adverse
effect upon the operations of the Lead
ing life insurance companies. altho
lapses were heavy and many policy
holders were obliged to borrow money
on their policies, says report issued
today.
A lower death rate, higher interest
rate and increased returns on diVi-
dends, endowments and surrendered
policies are among the outstanding
features OF the report.

CHICAGO GRAINS
AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Feb. 21.--Altho wheat
today scored new high price record
for the season the market declined
most OF tho time, chiefly on account
Of prospective break up OF the
drought in the southwest. Closing
quotations were unsettled 1 to 1kc
net lower. with May sl.a41s to 81 As and
July $12sk to S1.26A. Corn gained NC
to &C and oats finished unchanged TO
Ao lower. In provisions the outcome
was the same as yesterday to 81 down
General expectance Of rains in Fan-
sas and other states that for a Ions
while have been without adequate
moisture, gave an advantage from the
start to sellers Of wheat. Ina fact that
tomorrow would be a holiday acted also
as an inducement to realize on hold
ings. For the time being fresh upturns
in Liverpool quotations were practical
ly ignored here. About the middle of
the session however a leading crop ex-
perts gave publicity to a comprehen-
sivc report indicating severe deteriora-
tion of the winter crop in the territory
from Texas to Nebraska inclusive. This
report brought about a temporary rush
of buying that lifted the market to the
highest level OF the day. A majority of
traders nevertheless preferred to avoid
the risk OF rain and of any unforeseen
contingencies while business was inter
rupted from the top prices reach I'd.
Active export call was largely respons-
ible for the corn market making a
new high price record for the present
crop. One handler said the amounts he
could sell were limited only by ability
to get grain loaded. Shipping demand
for oats was relatively slow.
Provisions advanced with hogs, but
reacted later as result of selling
which appeared to be for New York
account. Prior TO the increased selling
lard had attained the highest prices
yet this season.
