HEAVY COVERING BY
SHORTS SENDS WHEAT
UP NEARLY 2 CENTS
Corn Futures Make New
Highs for Season in
Early Trading.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
Chicago, Sept. 24.-Wheat came to
life in the last hour of the session
and as result of this activity clos.
ing gains of rs TO / "a cents were
registered. Local cash sales were 40
900 bushels of wheat; $4,000 bushels
of oats and 10000 bushels of rye.
Local bulls bid up corn in the last
hour and prices closed IS to Is
cents higher.
Oats were 3-S to 3-4 cents high
er.
Lard closed IL TO L. IL cents
lower and ribs unchanged 10 10 cents
lower.
Wheat was dull early today. Prices
covered only half cent range. The
tone was, steady early. but the ac-
ton of the market became heavy in
the last half of the session. There
was a little buying at the start. but
commission houses filled the wants of
buyers.
Later the strength in corn caused
some local buying and prices moved
up a fraction. The increase of s.
643,000 bushels in the visible supply,
bringing the toal to above $4,000. 900
bushels caused some of the early buy
ers TO sell out. There was a notice
able lack Of selling pressure, despite
the easier tone in Minneapolis and
Winnipeg and the big receipts at both
these markets.
Corn futures scored new seasons
high marks early. but late months
eased off after 'mid-season. Septem-
Der shorts continue TO bid up the
current delivery. There was good
commission house buying of the de-
ferred futures and locals followed
their lead. This buying was based
on frost damage reports. About mid
session George LeCount issued an ies-
innate. Of q crop of 100000. 900
bushels and this scared some of the
holders into liquidating.

FOOTBALL RACE GETS
STARTED IN EARNEST
IN COMING WEEKEND
By October Is, Season
Will Be in Full Sway
Everywhere.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
New York, Sept. 24.-While some
sporadic games throughout the coun-
try Saturday gave evidence that the
football season is upon us, this fact
will be more definitely established the
end of this week when more than one
important team goes into action in the
sectional divisions.
Tennessee will appear at West
Point, thereby setting the intersec-
tional pace. Some other early season
plums are the Michigan Aggies at
Stage Field against Chicago next Sat
urday; Iowa-Purdue on October 10,
on which day also the Colorado Ag-
gies will invade Chicago.
The Nebraska-Ill Illinois games of Oc-
tober Is will provide an excellent line
upon the strength of both elevens. Hi
nois in 1922 was an erratic though
occasionally a successful figure i'm the
big Ten while NebrasEh's slip at
Syracuse prevented the Cornhuskers
from high ranking in a national sense.
This Nebraska Illinois struggle will
be interesting through the employ
ment of arrangements not often made
between coaches. Each coach will send
to the other complete diagrams and
descriptions of the plays to be used.
The casual follower of football might
think this would result in a stalemate
in the game to be employed. But it
implies nothing Of the sort. All that
it means is that so-called trick plays.
that amount to little anyway, will not
be used. While both elevens will have
knowledge of the scope and variety
of the plays to be launched. they will
not. in the course of the game, know
which play is TO be employed-except
|ofscourse. upon obvious occasions such
as punting on the third and fourth
down.
AS consequence. alcrtness, quick
defensive diagnosis and sharp break
ing through and tackling will be as
necessary as if there had been no in
terchange of dope.
They know how to breed tough men
out at Notre Dame. Or else the faith
of the athletic authorities in the gutta
percha durability of their players is
absolute. After dallying with Kala-
mazoo and Lombard on the next two
Saturdays the South Bend gridiron
men face the Army. Princeton and
Georgia Tech on succeeding week
ends. Nothing fragile about that list.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. II stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
IN interview on the subject. made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmers Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes. medium and large

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
