Canadian Team Wins
from Amarillo High
School—Score 14-7
I i ,."!!•
'he Canadian High School foot-
: team defeated the Amarillo
in a fast clean game on the
!"(■;.] gridiron last Saturday after-
noon at the tune of 14-7.
The day was ideal and a large
truwd witnessed the game.
Canadian won the choice of
goals and received the kick oft
from the visitors. The locals car-
ried the ball far into the Plains-
men's district before being down-
ed. They resorted from the first
to their line plunging and short
end runs and told in gains on their
opponents every down. Both
touchdowns for the locals were
made in the early part of the game.
The first was made after a series
of plunges when on the fourth
down and about a yard from the
gual Canadian's quarterback went
over. The second was made on a
fa-," play by Left End: Bill Hut-
tor., Left Half succeeded in boot-
ing the pigskin squarely between
the post on both kicks.
The visitors touchdown came
late in the game when one of their
Ends received a forward pass over
their goal. Their goal was also
kicked.
The game was characterized
from beginning to end by splen-
did sportsmanship and marked
courtesy on the part of the boys
of both teams.
It would be hard to pick stars
from the local team for the entire
team seemed to work as a unit in
winning for their high school
Both the Backfield and Line were
in splendid condition and made
themselves felt more than once
against the opponents forces.
The line up of the teams was as
follows:
Amarillo, Paul Hess. Center;
r: 'ck-.viill Ifacksr:.*! X. * Guard;
Howard Lynch, L. Tackle; Marvin
Sanders, L. End; Cecil Jones, R.
Guard; Amos Hudson, R. Tackle;
Fred Fyfe, R. End; Silas Hess.
Quarter; William Boyce R. Half:
Dick Bivins, L. Half; Raymond
Jarvis, Full.
Canadian, Roy Hardage, Cen-
ter: Money Hardage, L. Guard;
Harry Rathjen, L. Tackle; Frank
Shaller, L. End; Charlie Burton
R. Guard; Walter Lewis, R. Tack-
le; Bruce Waterfield, R, End; Tom
Flattley, Quarter; Bill Hutton, K
Half; Roscoe Snyder, L. Half;
Frank Catterton, Full.
The members of the local team
wish to take this opportunity to
thank the citizens who made it
possible, by their gifts, to bring
the Amarillo b.oys here. This
game makes the Canadian boys un-
disputed High School champions
of all of the North Panhandle
Plainview highs are champions of
the South Plains, and it stands be
tween Plainview and Canadian
for the championship of all North
west Texas.
The Pay Roll of Texas
There are 3,845 persons on the
pay roll of the state of Texas, the
salary list is $4,728,889, and the
average is $1,230 per person per
annum. These are the figures
given by former Comptroller Ter-
rell. This caustic comment is
made by Mr. Terrell: "If there
were real effort made, if every
head of department and bureau
and school and institution de-
manded efficiency and made it ob-
ligatory, the state could reduce its
number of employes by at least
one-fourth and could without
greater burden to the tax payers
increase that average by 33 1-3 per
cent." Mr. Terrell served Texas
as a lawmaker sixteen years. He
served three terms as comptroller
and resigned because the salary
would not justify him to continue
in the service of the people.—

The congestion in handling the
oil production in the new field
li'ii tliwest of Burk'ournett is bein.e
relieved some and the pipe line
companies are handling some more
oil. The Moody Petroleum Com-
pany hasn't been able to run an.v
oil heretofore. This company lost
two tanks and seven hundred
fifty barrels of oil in the conflag-
ration in the oil fields about fif-
teen days ago. This is the A1
Moody Company in which a large
number of Canadian citizens hold
stock.
Judge Newt.P. Willis
Won Diamond Ring
in Shriner's Contest
Judge Newton P. Willis return-
ed from Fort Worth Sunday carry-
in the honors of the Novices who
journeyed last week over the hot
sands of all partes of the desert
of Texas to praise Allah with the
rest of the Arabs at Moslah on the
Oasis of Lake Worth, and he re-
turned not only a Noble wearing
the fez but he also honored the
Panhandle by winning the election
from the Novices as the wearer of
the diamond ring. This is the first
time a candidate from the Pan-
handle has won the annual award
of the diamond ring, and Canadian
citizens take pleasure in knowing
that our distinguished citizen se-
cured the honor. No, he didn't
bring the diamond ring home with
him. That stays at Moslah, and
['Bgihaiv;; sacred and
mystic incidents in connection
therewith which Newton doesn't
talk about except in the wee sma'
hours and when he is sure of his
audience.
S. A. McAdams of Canadian at-
tended the annual shrine meeting
with Mr. Willis and was elevated
from the position of Novice tc
Noble.

Attention Farmers
Having recently called your at-
tention to the fact that cotton seed
for next year's planting is going
to be very scarce, we wish to em
phasize that fact by telling you
that we are getting three times
as many listings to buy seed as we
are to sell them. Do not sell good
seed suitable for planting to gins
or mills, but store it away as
you are likely to get more foi
it and at the same time rendc
your fellow farmer a valuable ser-
vice b\ selling him your good seed
for planting.

The conclusion comes naturally
that there are several times as
many head of beef cattle in Texas
as there are milch cows, and the
statistics in this regard may be in-
teresting. On Jan. 1, 19J9, there
were. 1,060,000 milch cows in
Texas and only 3,961,000 head of
all other cattle.
Treaty Will be Put into Effect December 1st
--No Slacking in Plans for League, Says Law
Paris, Nov. 21.—The supreme
council today agreed upon Decem-
ber 1st as the date when the Ger-
man peace treaty will be formally
re tilled.
Further informal discussions
have been held with the German
representatives now here in con-
nection with the notification by the
allies that a protocol must be
signed by Germany guaranteeing
fulfillment of the armistice con-
ditions. These discussions have
been confined chiefly to the
methods of procedure in consider-
ing the protocol. As yet the
Germans have not stated whether
they will sign the document.
The American delegation is still
without instructions as to its par-
ticipation in the peace conference,
following the failure of the Senate
to ratify the treaty, but Henry
White attended the meeting of the
supreme council today as represen-
tative of the United States, Under-
secretary Polk being absent in
London, and the entire delegation
is continueing its work, in the be-
lief that a compromise ratification
resolution will be agreed to in the
United States Senate.
This view is apparently shared
by most of the members of the
council, who are anxious for the
continuance of the United States
in the deliberations of the peace-
making body. The council, how-
ever, is working out plans so that
the enforcement of the treaty will
not be hindered if the United
States fails to ratify the treaty
later.
Louden, November 21.—The in-
ability of the United States rep-
resentatives at Paris to deposit
President Wilson's ratification of
the German treaty at the same
time th'ise of other powers are
filed will not prevent the remain-
ing allied and associated powers
from proceeding to carry the
treaty into effect," said Andrew
Bonar Law, Government leader in
the llou.-e of Commons today, in
answer to numerous questions re-
garding the status of the treaty as
a result of the American Senate's
action.
In answer to a question from
Sir Donald MacLean, Mr. Bonat
"Law said:
"Without doubt there will be
no slackening in the determination
of Great Britain to do all in her
power to take the lead in seeing
that the League of Nations lie-
comes an instrument of human
progress. 1 think it would be a
mistake to assume that all possi-
bility of help from the United
States is gone."
Asked whether the action of the
United States would affect the
Anglo-French American treaty, he
said:
"Our undertaking in that treaty
which so far has been unratified
by the United States, was contin-
gent upnn its also being carried by
the United States. Another situa-
tion might create a new condition
of affairs."
Icicles were hanging from the
Fords Tuesday evening.

The New Train Service
It is rather of a co-incidcnec
that during the last few days o<
the train service under the gov-
ernment railroad administration
the trains are running from twi
to four hours late, taking advan-
tage of the last few days of indul-
gence while it is at government
expense. Also that with the re-
turn of the trains to private own-
ership, the fast trains, the Five:
and the Missionary, come back
This new time card gives Canadian
three trains each way every
twenty-four hours. The Mission-
ary, westbound, under the new
schedule passes Canadian at 2.OH

next day at 10.00 p. m. The Flyer j
eastbound, passes Canadian at 2.4c

dard drawing room and tourist

Cotton Prices
Resulting from decreased
'age, bad season, insect pests,
m labor and world demand
eatton coupled with the sam
holding and slow marketing, tin
■price of cotton is good and likely
• : go higher.
The only danger is with any
."all in quotations forced I)..- sales
a the gambling exchanges ot
i'tit ure contracts (the;, have r. c
! cotton), causing farm ts to stam-
pede to sell as they have done in
former years.
So we frankly say to the far-
mers that the bankers, the mer-
I chants and all good citzens arc
jready to back us in our effort to
get value for our cotton, and if
I there is a failure it will be out
fault. Therefore, we earnesty
urge you to refuse absolutely to
sell a pound of your cotton on a
declining market, and if you d<
|this the price will rise again and
we shall win the fight for right
and justice.

Grays Won Over Reds, (i to 0
Wheeler, Texas, Nov. 24.—The
football game Sunday evening be-
tween the Reds and the Grays was
a victory for the Grays, the score
being 6 to 0. AH eyes were on the
Gray's fullback, Lewis G. Evens,
of Pampa. Evans handled the big
Indian wonderfully, and made the
only touchdown of the game.
Evans came from the champion A.
E. F. team, and has also played
with the Waco and Dallas teams.
But your correspondent thinks he-
was playing for a pretty little
blond who was seen taking him
off the field after the game. All
join ill giving him a welcome tc
our little city.

Asks a Hearing for
Changing Panhandle
Back to Central Time
| Secured Marriage License Hero
Wm. A. Bracken and Mrs. Mary
]•;. Weiszbrod, both of Woodward
Oklahoma, obtained a marriage
license in Canadian last Friday.
F. R. Jamison, secretary of the
Panhandle-Plains Chamber of
Commerce, reports on two matters
of importance that have been
taken up by his department.
With reference to the Panhan-
dle having been placed in moun-
tain time, the application has been
made for a rehearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
who will send a man to Amarillo
for the rehearing.
"Of course," says Mr. Jamison
"we do not know what will be the
ultimate outcome of this hearing
but we are quietly disposed to and
do believe that the Interstate Com-
merce Commission will assure us
the time we want. Numerous ap-
plications have come to this office
expressive of a very great desire
to have this portion of the State
returned to central time.
"If you desire this change you
will please indicate it by a state-
ment of your views to this office
and make known the fact among
your citizens that this application
is being made and be prepared to
have your community represented
at the rehearing of this case when
the time is named.
Regarding Coal Situation
"The shortage of coal over the
Panhandle is a matter of the
strictest concern. On last Satur-
day morning a meeting was held in
this office with Mr. R. E. Johns
agent for the Santa Fe; Mr. J.W.
Farley, agent for the C R. I. & P..
and J. W. Gibbon for the F. W. &
1). who defined specifically the
plans which the railroads had in-
stituted for the purpose of pre-
venting distress in case of bliz-
zard or zero weather. Coal which
has been taken over by the various
railroads has been so taken for
the purpose of sending it out
where u might be needed to astab-
lish comfort.
"Vou are, therefore, notified in
i ase of emergencies to apply t<
your loral agent with assurance
that relief will be obtained."
Th • Record received an invoice
for a shipment of paper this week
and the price is the highest we
have ever paid for news print
Prices of paper are going up by
leaps and bounds, thanks to Lh<
combination of profiteers who are
taking advantage of the public on
every hand, and it is freely pre-
dicted that the prices on adver-
tising and job work will double
inside of four months. There
will be thousands of papers put
entirely out of business this win-
ter by the high price of paper, and
every paper will be compelled to
put its subscription list, on a cash
basis. The Record has mailed
during the last week or will pre-
sent; on collection day the first of
December, a statement to every
subscriber whose subscription
not paid in advance. This is ab-
solutely necessary because we are
paving so much for paper that it
will bankrupt us to continue ex
eept on a cash basis. So when
you get your statement, pleas'
don't lay it aside and forget it but
see us or remit us at once.
The situation is serious for us.
BenF.Looney, Former
Attorney General,
is Out for Governor
Austin, Texas, Nov. 22.—For-
mer Attorney General Looney of
Hunt County has made his formal
announcement for governor, sub'
ject to the Democratic primaries,
He believes women should be
granted full suffrage privileges in
all elections the same as men en-
joy, and to accomplish this he
favors the resubmission of the
constitutional amendment to the
people. Prohibition laws, he says,
both state and national, have at
last been enacted. He has always
stood lor the utter destruction of
the liquor traffic, and promises
that i t elected governor to see that
all prohibition laws are rigidly
enforced.
He pledges himself to the im-
provements of the public school
system of the state, declares that
teachers are not paid a living
salary, and stresses the point that
education under Christian influ-
ence is the process for American-
izing the foreigner and is the fun-
dament! answer to Bolshevism in
whatever form it appears. He is
for revision of the taxation law3,
believes the tax rate can be low-
ered without lowering the effici-
ency of the public service, favors
the budget system of appropria-
tions, in order to enable the gov-
ernor to intelligently make rec-
ommendations to the legislature.
He says the land tenant question
is still unsettled and must be
dealt with, that there is an abun-
dance of land for sale in almost
every agricultural county in the
state, and is for the enactment of
several belated measures that en-
courage long-time payments and
the low rate of interest in order
that homes may be provided for
the homeless.
He favors resubmission to the
people the amendment to separate
the University of Texas and the
A. & M. college, as he believes
that it will be to the best interest
of these institutions to be separ-
ated and provided for as proposed
in the defeated amendment. The
former attorney general is opposed
to the indiscriminate and flagrant
use of the pardoning power. This
is his indictment:
"Another matter of public policy
worthy of mention relates to the
pardoning power. This power
should never be exercised by the
governor to review, the courts. Be-
fore conviction all reasonable
doubts are resolved in favor of
(he defendant; after conviction
the presumption of guilt ought to
be indulged. If a- sentiment pre-
vails in this state, that pressure
being brot to bear on the governor
a pardon may be secured after
the defendant's guilt has been as-
certained by a jury of his country-
men and after the courts have af-
firmed the fairness and legality of
his trial, a widespread disregard
for law and contempt for our
courts will inevitablly result. We
can't afford to encourage this sen-
timent just now above ail other
times in our history. Recently
many instances have occurred all
over the nation, showing an utter
disregard of law and contempt
for constituted authority; in fact,
a spirit of defiance of government
itself is abroad in the land. The
pardoning power is a sacred in-
strument of mercy, intended to re-
lieve from palpable miscarriages
<11 justice or from conditions
where longer punishment would
defeat rather than serve the pur-
poses Of society."
He declares against all extrava-
gance and promises to at all times
stand for an efficient and econo-
mic government, and solicits the
support of all Democratic voters
-men and women--of Texas, in
support of his long public service
as a member of the state senate
and house of representatives, be-
fore he was called to the head of
the legal department of the state.
In 1918 Texas led all States in
: the production of cotton, and
broom corn, ranked second in the
j production of rice, and fourth in
the production of peaches and
peanuts.
