VERY CONFLICTING
Weak and Strong Spots DeveI-
oped Frequently in the
Same Groups

Now York. July 24.-Much tho same
irregularity and confusion attended the
movement of today's stock market as
observed in some Of the immediate re-
cent sessions. The recognized pool is-
sues were exceptionally well sustained
with some scoring substantial advances.
On the other hand. weak spots. were
uncovered In the tire anf motor shares.

Of the session. All Of which tended to
exemplify more convincingly than ever
! the ultra professionalism of the cur

Nothing definite was to be derived
from the week -end developments in the
strike situation. but there was grow
ing belief in financial circles the crisis
of both the coal strike and the railroad
labor controversy would be reached
! during the current week. What few
developments there were over Sunday
on the surface seemed to encourage an
extension Of the professional selling. but
apart from scattering industrial shares
! there was conspicuous lack Of agrees
sivcncss on the part of the short sellers.
| Foreign developments, on the other
hand, were much more favorable.
| Strengthening of foreign exchanges was
quite generally accepted as Il reliable
indication of the likelihood of an early
amicable agreement being reached re-
garding German reparations.
The effects of the cross currents were
strongly reflected ms the session prog
ressed in the conflicting movement of
different stocks in the same groups.

Chandler Motor and scvera! of the tire
stocks were under further pressure. On
the other hand. Studebnkcr and other
motors strengthened. Similar condi-

board reacted sharply. The independent
stccls added variably to Saturday $

GIRLS ARE CAUGHT AT &
.G.z .s GAME OF EXTORTlON

Miss Theresa Highstrom, alias Mrs.
Macarthur, and Mrs. Ed. Holland, two
young women, were caught last week
in bold attempt to extort money.
They came up from Minneapolis to
visit here and incidentally attempted
to operate game OF eXtortion. Com
p!aint was made to the sheriff Of Z
threat made against two business men
Of Willmar, and by means Of a decoy
letter registered at the pcstotfice the
sheriff was able to trace it to the resi-
dence where the girls stayed. When
examined by the sheriff the girls con
fessed to their crime. Miss HlghstrOil
was arrested on the charge of max
ing verbal threat with intent to ex-
tort money and plead guilty. She
was fined $500 and costs, amounting
to $12.44. She paid the total of $17.44.
The girls left the courtroom with Z
litter at having escaped SO lightly, not
appearing to realize the gravity OF the
charge they had confessed to. Mrs.
Holland has small child and mas
not been arrested as yet. The plight
OF these unfortunate women should be
a lesson to every parent that they can
not be too careful in how they permit
their daughters to run about without
regard with whom they. associate.

ANOTHER BATTLE
OF THE CENTURY
Buffalo and Willmar to Meet In
Decisive Struggle Here on
Friday Evening

The big day in the 1922 lives Of bas-
ket ball fans in the city is approach
ing. On Friday evening OF this week
the much reputed and old time inva-
ders. who have walked away with four
district championship laurals in sue
cession will again seek to keep the
Willmar High School five from the
state tournament. That team is from
the Buffalo High School. This season
as in past seasons it has experienced
very little inconvenience in sweeping
aside any opposition in its own half
of this district and also in this half
sof the district Wh en- she has, walked
away with Willmar and iLitchfield and
others on many occasions
Last season the Buffalo quint de-
feated the Wi1lmar high for. the dist
r.ct title. The first game was played
at Buffalo and was lost to her by the
score OF Ii to 7. The second game
Played on the local floor was close

the district championship after the
latter team had taken Willmar into
camp.
Willmar's lineup will. be about the
same as that which commenced in
the last Ltchfield game Grace at
center, Hahn and Johnson at forwards
and Linn, and Westgard at the guard
positions. If the boys display the
form they did at the .Litchfeld game
it should go hard for the visitors on
Friday evening.
Those in charge Of the game are
making every preparation for a tram-
endOus crowd. The game will be
called at nine o'clock due to the late
arrival of the referee.
On the same evening the Ex-service
mems banquet will be held at the Ma
sonic Temple beginning at six o'clock.
The boys at the banquet will have
time to reach the gym before the
great game opens. up with all its in
terest and excitement
The boys have been given spec;a,
training this week preparatory to the
game. If all goes well Willmar should
trim up Buffalo Friday evening.
