Farming Prosperity

The balance between agricultural
products and other products has
not been seriously disturbed, al
though cotton suffered a decline in
October from which it has only
partially recovered, and the feed
grains are bringing unsatisfactory
prices. On the other hand wheat
is up to the highest price on the
crop, and good prices for live stock
and dairy products on the whole
fully Offset the low prices for corn
and oats. The latter are simply
the raw materials for the produc-
ton of the former.

| Boys from Athletics
For Professionalism

Chicago, Dec. 23.-(AP)-The
professional football scandal of Chi
cago High school reached its eli
max tonight when the "a members
of the board of athletic control vot-
ed unanimously to debar permanent
ly four Englewood High school boys
from athletics. They admitted play
ing with a make-shift professional
team supposed to represent Milwau-
kee, against the Chicago Cardinals

were told it was only practice and
the game itself confirmed that be-
lief.
The four boys-Charles Richard
son, William Thompson, Jack Dan
iels an James Snyder, constituted
the backf1eld of the Englewood High
school football team last fall. AS
far as school athletics is concerned,
two have finished their high school
careers, as they graduate by spring,
but they were concerned about the
boards decision on their amateur
standing, as it may effect their
chances of making college teams.

Since the prohibitionists have

the calibre of those two bodies as
