BEARCATZBOW TO HOAGLAND — After battling on even terms during the first half of the first I basketball game played in Adams ; county this season Monroe high | school Ileareatz weakened by the I loss of three men on personal fouls. I lost to Hoagland high school at De- ; vatur high school gymnasium lust night, 33-18. Tlie Bryanmen looked good during the first half and fans were of the opinion the game would have ended in a nip and tuck battle had the Monroe team remained intact. Early in the second period Mon-| roe players started to the showers I one by one and only one regular remained when the game ended. The half time mark showed the count 1.1-12 in favor of Hoagland.

noted a change in the sentiments of their constituents, however. Senator Morris Sheppard, Dem.. Tex., for instance, contended on a recent visit to Washington that his state is drier than ever. Those who said they saw a change declared the dissatisfaction vos with *he way in which prohib'tion enforcement was worked, rather than toward its objective, of aboltehing liquor. One of them said that although ’ h's state is still predominantly! dry. he believed if the law en-I forcement commission should! recommend moderate liberalization.! the south would “go along with it." I Amoiw the pre-election prohi-l b'tion developments affecting the future position of the senate are j the following: Announcement by Senator Burton K. Whee'er, Dem.. Mont., formerly an advocate of prohibition, ihat he now’ favors repeal of the ISth amendment and state control of liquor. Announcement by Senator Jesse j TT. Metcalf, Repn., R.1., that he favors the repeal of the amendment. Declaration by Senator Otis F. Glenn, Repn.. 111., that generally! the people of Illinois are dissatisf'od with nrohibition and want reform of the liquor laws. Announcements by Senators Jones, Repn.. Wash.. Oddie, Reipn., Nev., Walsh, Dem., Mont., and Sheppard, that they will vote to submit to the states a repeal omeijlment if their states show by referendum they want them to. On the other hand dry leaders are cheered by a gain in the elec"on of Rep. Wallace White, of Maine, as senator in place of, Senator Arthur H. Gould, Repn, Me., an opponent of prohibition.! and the expected election of drv Secretary of I-abor Janies J. Davis us senator from Pennsylvania. o Barrel Holds Bones Whitehall. N.

Coach Piney Bryan has , prospects of a good team this season. — Today'is the final football game of the season at the Decatur grid lot. Garrett comes here to battle the Hortonmen. Upsets can of course happen. ■ but unless there is a terrible hole ' kicked in the dope bucket. Decatur should win by about 13 to 20 | points. The Yellow Jackets will start Monday on the final drill for the Suburb game next Friday night, under the candle power system at the new Bluffton athletic plant. The Suburb megaphone known as Buck will start his heavy machine) v working about Monday —and he'll have his fun this week. It will be worth the trip to the Suburb, however, to see the new I'ghting system—The Bluffton football team, staggering around coachless and winless will of course put up its greatest battle against the Yellow Jackets. BEAT BLUFFTON. Notre Dame at Pittsburgh probably will be a closer game than most people figure, but the Irish should drive on toward a national title. To Footbawls, it looks like an almost imnossible task to stop Notre Dame this year and the only teams with a chance are Northwestern and Army. The Boilermakers entertain , Wisconsin today at Purdue.l And Purdue has a splendid chance to I win. Indiana is at Dallas, Texas where Southern Methodist is dedicating a new stadium— Footbawls hopes the boys have a nice trip. BEAT BLUFFTON. Camp Site Use Increases Albany, N.

In theory the choice is said to be made by the prime minister.

'STRANGE GRAIN DROUGHT PROOF “Grohoma" Defies Heat end Flourishes Throughout Dry Season. Oklahoma City.—A strange grain I known as grolimua, n cross between I kaffir corn and ribbon cane, may . revolutionize farming In middle western agricultural sections often affected by droughts. i So successfully lias Fred Gross, n farmer living near here, raised grolioma the last five years (hat the United States Department of Agriculture Is now making an intensive study of the crop with a view of determining Its real value. Yield Is Excellent. Gross said the "cross grain" has not reverted and that whan other farm crops were ruined in Oklahoma this year because of the prolonged drought, grohoma continued growing and made tin excellent yield. Grohoma is n 90-day crop, has deep roots and yields from 100 bushels an acre dining a dry season to more than 200 during a favorable yea r. Gross has harvested two crops, one early and the other late, the last two years, be told -late agriculture department officials. When the stalk is ent another crop grow-. Grohoma is sensitive to frost but thrives in parched soil. Tests made by the state agricul- | ture department showed that gro- j lionta contained 12.:'3 tier cent protein, a greater amount than Indian , corn, kafir, oats, or wheat; 3.8 per cent fat, greater than any of the other grains; 70.24 per cent nitrogen—free ext nu t and hut 2.5 per cent fiber, which is less than most other grains. A large floitr mill recently rested I the ripe grain and announced It suitable for (lour making. Samples will he milled tins fall. Grohoma also is said to contain sugar, and may he utilized for making molasses or refined sugar. Gruff Ims not always been inter- ■ ; ested in producing a better grain ' I crop. When he lived <>n a farm in | ! Vermont years ago he became dis- i I satisfied and joined the navy. Cane and Kafir. He fought in the Spanish-Atnerl-can war and in the World war he I was a gunner in the navy. Gross moved to Oklahoma about seven years ago and bought :■ firm. ! Dry seasons ruined his crops. He I reasoned that sugar cane was a juicy annual plant and figurtW that kafir corn would grow better if it had n: >’e water. Gross grafted various ■ of ettne ami katir. The outstanding development was a cross between ribbon cane ami kafir which he called "grohoma." using the first part of his name and the last half of Oklahoma. For five years lie raised the crop. This season when his kafir coni failed to yield and his corn crop was burned to a crisp by the hot winds bis grohoma continued to grow. “I grew tired of starving to death ; so I did a little relief work of my own." said Ct-off in discussing his unusual crop. Mineral Output of U. S. $5,830,000,000 in 1929 Washington.—The value of the country's mineral products In 1929 was S.'i.NtO.bco.OCO. which was 8 per cent greater than the value of the Hr’S output. The bureau of mines in making tlie figures public said the value of metallic products of the mines was about 15 ner cent greater than It was in 1928. Nearly half of the in- ; crease was accounted for by a rise i in the value of copper. All tlie itn- I portant metals contributed to the increase, however, save geld and silver.

Jun': Cars as Fish Food Savannah, Gn. —A used car dealer lets conceived the idea of using junked automobiles for fish food — that is, sunken under vvatei, they become encrusted With mollusk and sea fungi, thus attracting fish for the city’s fishermen. Man Wrestles With Fish Hot Springs. Ark.—Dan Ayers’ ability to wrestle Ims aided him in his fishing. On a gigging trip with Joe Muse, Ayers was unable to gig a 60-pound cattish.

WILES URGES ALL PEOPLE TO “START CLOCK” I (CONTINUED FROM I’AGE ONE) Predicting the return of better j conditions the speaker said, “Am.erican business has gone through ether depressions, some of which' Iwete much more serious and cf ■ ; much larger duration than the pres- 1 I ent one. It has been the history |of American business that we have\ i always come back further on the rebound than we did- before the | drop. All of us admit without any i serous thought that the world and the United States is much further ahead teday than it was in the »05s during tire panic. Already optimistic signs show that they are peering through this mist and above the mist are seeing things in their true prospective.” “The glorious history that has ’ been written from the tim? the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the bleak New England shores to this present time has beta one of constant progress. We have overcome; every difficulty at home and abroad which would impede this progress. IWe shall continue to do so and never admit outSelv s defeated. A mi;n is never whipped until he admits that he is whipped ahd it has been the experience of many a well-licked fighter to come out a victor because he would not admit j i defeat.” Mr. Wilts complimented the Lions clubs for the part they are taking in the move to better bus:n ss conditions. The governors of 38 states have approved the plan and the move is nation wide. o CAPONE RULES ALL GANGLAND (Cf NTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Cicero. They recalled the names ■of the north side gangsters who | had opposed him and noted that, i one after another, but net always one at a time, they had been shot to death. ■ Os all ths north side leaders who had da ed oppose Capone since Dion O'Banion was killed back in ! 1921, only Moran remained and police predicted it would not be long until he too would be trapped and the last menace to Capone rule removed. Moran's power was broken when seven of his gangsters were killed in the St. Valentine’s Day massacre and police say he has nevei recovered since. Although they held no hopes that the Aiello slaying of Thursday night would be solved any quicker than that of O'Banion or any of his successors, police continued their investigations today, directing their search toward Patsy Presto, and for several Capone gangste: s known to be expert machine gunners. A eiio, stepping from Presto’s home .where he had been in hiding for two weeks, literally was riddled with machine gun bullets. Recalling the long enmity between Capone and Aiello, whose gang power ; was said to extend throughout the I country, < fficers concluded immediately it was “another Capone job." They counted the bullets, more than a pound of them, that had been poured into the gangster's body when he was caught between a cross fire directed from two apartments where his enemies had wait|ed lor days for him to leave the Presto home. 1 “That’s pretty good shootin’,” a

CHINA PLANS STRICT RULES FOR PASSPORTS Ohl Regulations, Never Enforced, Will Be Revived By Randall Gould I United Press Staff Correspondent , Sianghai, Oct. 25— (UP) Chinn.| Hong known to foreigners as a country where passports and visas were' I supe. i'luons, has decided ’o tighten . | the administration of passport reg- ’ illations always existent but enforc- 1 ed. Indications are that Hie National j Government will soon provide as many passports stumbling-blocks i as Japan and the European nationr.l What the situation will be in sec-' •ions of China not controlled by , Nanking is uncertain, but it is al-1 eady apparent that those who base their t.avels from Shanghai will do] well to look into the treaty provi-l sions and see that they are well provided with nece sary documents, i Consuls here have received sev-| eral notifications that their nation-' ills must have duly visage passports ! Efforts have even been made to I compel American and other ships I to allow Chinese passport authorities to boa.d vessels off Woosung. I The Government seems due to, nree' with small success in this mat-1 ter. Treaties cover the point. Americans, Britons, and other "treaty ; power" citizens, may come to treaty , ports without passports, or Chinese visas, the travel within 30 Chinese. 11-10 miles —of such ports. Ships I may hot be boarded for such pass- j port inspection, although it is pro-1 balile that an informal agreement that will furnish Chinese officials! witji information concerning the passports, or passport visas of incoming passengers. A fair compromise for the pres-! I ent is to have passport and visa land, if questioned in interior Chin.i.' ! to profess ignoran -e about the travj -1 certificate requirement.
