other operating charges, the net rail-
way operating revenue during 1921,
the first year since the war that the

: Coftons in GuafernaIa

At the present the Guatemaian cot
ton goods market is not very active
and most of the orders being placed
are for small shipments, is Consul
Frost's report TO the Department of
Commerce from Guatemala City. I'M
ports of cotton goods are principally
from the United States and consist Of
cheap prints blaeched shirtings, gray
shirtings, and all classes of drills.
Some Of the better grades are i'm
ported from England, however, but the
American product has become so we'll
known and familiar to the Guatemalan
buyer, that it is generally preferred
to ell Others. Lately. the cheaper
grade American product has sold at .
somewhat lower price than its British
competitor. and this factor has tended
to produce more active market for
American cotton goods.

The Prosperous South


Southern Growth Shown in Comprehensive Semi;
Annual Miller Surrey of Business, Economic and
Building Progress in Sixteen Southern States.
This complete and significant Survey of Southern
progress and development, compiled by us and lust
published In one hundred newspapers, shows that
during the first six months of 1922 building permits
issued in 81 cities in 16 Southern States totaled
S2i55o0000 This is an increase of 429o over the
period of 1921.
The Survey quotes letters from Federal Reserve
Banks and Governors of Southern States declaring
that the progress that has been made in building
and other operations affecting the material develop
ment OF Southern States has been truly remark
able during the past decade and very notceably so
during the past six months" This development is
"the substantial foundation upon which Southern
prosperity rests"
The continuous and uninterrupted march of South

New York. Aug. 21.-Joe Villa says
that six years ago the st. Louis Card

$3.50, 900. Now the franchise of that
prosperous club is worth at least

highest ever made for a major league
ball player.
Offer Was Rejected
Many persons directly connected
with the control Of the national pastime
said that Hickey and his associates
were foolish not to let Hornsby go for
this huge bankroll. but Hickey declared
that he had been engaged by the st.
Louis club to build up a winning team
and that the sale Of Hornsby would
have killed baseball in the Mound city.

Hickey Proves Wisdom
Hickey engaged Jack Hendricks to
handle the Cards in 1918, which was
a lean year for baseball. Hendricks
couldn't make the team win. so Hickey
became the manager in 1919. Hickey
soon was ridiculed because Of his ovel
theories and his announcement that he
wouldn't act as the Cards mentor dur

NEW GRID REFORMS
WILL NOT OPERATE
UNTIL NEXT SEASON
Move Against Long Training
Season Seen in Har-
wards Action.

New York, Aug. 21.-The football
reforms now under discussion among
graduates appointed at Harvard, Yale
and Princeton by the presidents Of the
three universities, and which will, no
doubt. be adopted, will not be put into
practice until the 1923 season starts.
The presidential conferences which had
been planned for this summer have re-
suited in no definite action because of
and a report is not expected by the
alumni until next year.
The agitation against a long pre-
liminary training season in football,
however, is having some effect evil
IDENTIFY. as the announcement of the
Harvard gridiron plans reveals the fact
that for the first time in several years
the Crimson will not begin until after
the reopening of the college year.
Late Practice Is Rule
The first practice on Soldiers field
will not take place until September Is.
and the opening game is scheduled two
weeks later. on September 30. The
complete personnel Of the coaching
staff at Cambridge has not yet been
announced by Head Coach Fisher, but
it is expected that Jimmy Knox will
again serve as head strategist and
coach of the second eleven, while Ar
thur Conlon, substitute quarterback
last season. or Charley Tierney. last
years varsity lineman. will be appoint
ed coach of the freshman eleven.
In addition to their usual exclusive
classics, Harvard, Yale and Princeton
all will have really important games On
their schedules this year.
Many Sectional Games
Dartmouth has returned to the Har-
ward schedule. a welcome resumption of
relations that were severed during the
Haughton regime. At that time the
football directors deemed the Green a
trifle too tough a foe to entertain and
frankly said so. The Hanoverians may
not be as strong this year as they have
been. but it is fairly certain that they
will give the boys some excitement
when they trot onto Soldiers field.
Princeton has a game with Chicago
On tap. to be played at Stagg field, and
what may be the outcome no one can
predict with any hope Of accuracy. The
Maroon eleven is pretty well shot and
the Tigers material is wholly uncertain,
the more so since the faculty reform
ers have not met for a couple of weeks.
Yale is due to swap c~ompliment~
with Iowa in one of those brother
against brother battles. Tad Jones be
ing head coach of the Blue and Howard
having control of the destinies Of the
visitors. How Iowa is supplied with
material is not known in the east, but
Yale has it in quantity and quality sur

according to persons who arrived at
the scene of the accident shortly after
the car turned over.
DR.. McBurney said that when he
was called it was reported that an au-
tomohi1e load of nerSons bad haon

persons strung along the road when
he arrived the report appeared to be
true. A hasty examination showed that
there weren't any dead people in sight,

The injured persons were put into
automobiles and taken to a hospital,
where it was learned that none was
seriously injured except Nerder. :

slight.
The party was returning from a pic
