IMPERIAL nine
BEATS CENTRAL
TEAM SATURDAY

Playing under the handicap of a
high wind and in dust so thick at
times the players could hardly see,
Imperial high schools baseball
team Saturday afternoon defeated
Central Union high school, II to s.,
on the Imperial diamond.
Because of the wind, hits to cen
teriield were carried over to right
field, and some went for extra
bases which should have been easy
outs under other circumstances.
Fisher, starting pitcher for FL
Centre, was touched for five hits
in the first inning. He was relieved
by Soloman, who famed the next
batter to stop the slaughter. Good
work by the Ell Centre team kept
Imperial to three runs in his in
ming.
Soloman pitched we'll for Ell
Centre, allowing only six hits in
the next eight innings and striking
out IL men. His support was wob-
bly, at times Payne. third baseman,
was chief offender with four
errors.
Harris, Imperial pitcher was IN
rare form. He held the El Centrans
safe at all times, although he was
shaky in the sixth and seventh in
nings when the locals scored four
runs. Harris struck out IL men.
Ten men were left on bases b.
both Ell Centro and Imperial.
Cunningham with three hits and
Swink with two were outstanding
hitters for Ell Centre, while Taylor
of Imperial was hitting star of the
game by virtue of four hits.
Price, catcher for El Centro, and
Philbrick of Imperial, took fielding
honors during the day. s

SHOWER

But first I must dampen them
by sprinkling," said the muskrat

the irons. To sprinkle the clothes,
Nurse Jane took a bottle and filled
it with water. The cork of the
bottle had a number of little holes

AN AIR TRAGEDY

ENDING of the body of 1t Edward d.
L Hoffman of the United States army
air service, clears up a mystery that was
of more than passing interest to many
residents of California.
The army flyer disappeared in bad
storm in the northern part of the state
early in FEBRUARY. His companion ON
the fatal flight, 1t. William A. Cooke,
ir., saved himself by jumping with
parachute when he believed it was dam
gerous to remain aloft any longer.
Cooke was the object of considerable
criticism in some quarters because of his
act, but the finding of Hoffman's body
proves that the first aviator acted wisely.
Had he remained with the ship as Hoff-.
man did, there would have been two army
flyers victims of the crash instead Of one.
Discovery of Hoffmans body showed
that he to had taken to his parachute,
somewhat later than Cooke did. He ap-
parently landed unharmed and sought
to make his way to safety The effort
was too much, however, and he succumbeG
to the rigors of bowling blizzard COM
paratively short distance from the safe
" Of a rangers headquarters.
Hoffman deserved a better fate. He
tried his best to save the property en-
trusted to his care and stayed with IL un-
Ill the last possible moment. That fl
deity to duty unquestiOnably cost him
his life.
There may we'll be difference OF opin-
ion as to just how flyer should act
under the circumstances that confronted
these two. Cooke jumped in time and
saved his life, thereby enabling the ser
vice which had trained him to have the
benefit of his knowledge possibly for
years to come His decision to jump
must have been based on the training he
had received.
Hoffman arrived at the same decision,
but reached it somewhat later.
There is no need of censuring the ac-
tions of either man. They acted as they
believed best. That Cooke survived and
Hoffman perished was merely a matter
of fate. In the analysis of final results
it would appear that Cooke chose the
wiser and better course.

NEW YORK, April 4. - Fellows
who run columns sometimes have
lazy spells. You never can tell
when one of these lazy spells is
going TO arrive for they have
way Of sneaking up on a guy very
tiptoe like. Some columnists have
that tired feeling about once a
month; others get run down often
as once a week. But once a week
or once a month the remedy is
always the same-reach for the
top right-hand drawer, pull out a
mess of letters and let the custo-
mer do the work.
I'm tired as all get out today.
Why. I don't know, for I've been

bed at 7.30 at the very latest, every
evening. But I'm all worn out,
anyway. and so if youll pardon me

TRADE IN WHEAT
FUTURES LIMITED

Minneapolis. Dec. 22.-(R-Wheat
futures showed little spirit here
Thursday and trade was very lin
tied,
Milling interest was noticeable at
the start but proved fleeing. The
downward curve in stock prices also
tended to make the wheat longs
restless and there was not enough
power in Liverpool cables to create
confidence.
December wheat closed in new low
ground with a Sd cent decline. May
closed l 3-8 cents lower and July
l Id cents lower. December oats
closed 1-2 cent lower and May IL to
SD cent lower. December rye closed
1-2 cent lower and May / cent lower.
December and May flax closed I'M
changed. December barley closed
7-8 cent lower, May "a cent lower,
and July 7-8 cent lower.
Undertone of the cash wheat mar
ket ruled firm to strong. Durum
wheat was in fair to good demand
and scarce. Winter wheat is still
wanted but is offered very sparingly.
Cash corn demand was indifferent
and offerings light. Oats offers were
limited and demand fair to good. Rye
demand seems to be getting a shade
more aggressive. Barley demand was
fair to good for the medium because
OF lack of offerings. Flax demand
was fair to good and receipts light.

STOCK MART RUNS
into SELLING and

Selling Of Rails UnsettIing After
List Worked Higher in
Early Trading

New York, Dec. 22.-lR)-The stock
market ran into fresh furry OF SELL
iEg Thursday, which depressed prices
close to the lower resistance levels OF
the autumn trading range.
The list worked little higher al
the opening, but soon was unsettled
by selling of the rails. Several issues
in various groups were carried dowr
l to 3 points. Selling abated some
what by early afternoon, and there
were fractional recoveries from the
lowest.
New York Central was conspicu-
Gus soft spot, losing nearly points
before meeting support. Union Pa
cific declined as much. Miscellaneous
issues off l to 2 included Allied Chem
ical, American Telephone. American

ter, Johns Manville, Public Service OF
New Jersey, United Aircraft, and U
S. Steel common and preferred
Ovens Illinois Glass and Crown Cork
were firm at the start, then reacted,
the former losing more than points.
Losses in many prominent iss"e5
ranged from ! to points, and the
turnover of some 100000 shares was
the largest OF the month. The closing
tone was weak.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-(P-Corn led q
downswing of all grains Thursday
and reached a new bottom price rec

corn future delivery.
Stop-loss orders to sell developed
in profusion just before trading was

q: wheat A-1h down, Dec. 43h-M,
May 45A-%: oats Nh off, and pro-
visions unchanged to IL cents lower.
Although under the shadow of New
York stock market downturns, wheat
dealings were characterized more by
absence Of purchase orders than by
any unusual pressure to sell. Good
sized quantities Of July delivery ap-
peared to be wanted but at a level be-
low the market. No rain was shown
in drought sections Of domestic winter
territory southwest.
Lack Of rallying power in future
prices was evident much OF the time
and was contraSted with tightness of
premiums for wheat available for i'm
mediate use. The maintenance of
premiums was associated with in
creased domestic demand and with
curtailment Of primary receipts. Ar
rivals Of wheat at primary points
were $4,000 bushels, compared with
549, 900 q year ago. Corn and oats
were bearishly influenced by reports
that Iowa was shipping corn here for
the first time in months.
Provisions reflected downturns of
hog values.

LOCATE HAVEN FOR
ANTHROPOL0CISTS
Northern Minnesota Yields
Bones Of Early Prehistoric
Man, Says Expert

Deer River, Mimi, Dec. 22.-(R-
The wilds Of northern Minnesota, a
paradise for students Of anthropology
constantly are yielding fresh traces of
the early trek Of the Indian and white
man.
Forest rangers have just discovered
a well-worn pathway, now almost OBJ
scured by brush and underground in
the Chippewa national forest 10 miles
north OF here. It was Enthusiastically
a thoroughfare Of early Indians, pos
sibly q tribe Of Chippewa, who ruled
the woods.
Grass mounds along the trail indi-
Gated they were Indian graves of a
tribe that buried its dead on top of
the ground.
This brought recollections of the
discovery of Grattan township settlers,
who found some bones while digging
a cellar, believed to have been left
either by the original Americans or
ancient white men.
The skeletons were standing upright
and were those of both sexes. Jaw
bones Of the male were found to be
almost twice the size of that Of the
ordinary man of today.
With the skeletons were perfectly
moulded clay vases with designs of
deer, bear and birds that were almost
obliterated by time.
The bones were identified as those
OF early prehistoric man by Professor
Albert Ernest jerks of the University
OF Minnesota School Of Anthropology
