Swat's plans had been carefully laid

The only work yesterday was In the
nature of brushing up a few signals

The probable Indian lineup against
Johns Hopkins will be:

right end Vedernack; quarterback.
WEIGH: right halfback. Thorpe; left

This array can at present hardly be

he had every hope that his players
would win from Johns Hopkins.

THE schoolboy football games to-
day will be the last before the
big Thanksgiving Day struggles.
Six games are scheduled and they will
serve - sort Of final workouts before
the closing battles OF one Of the best
football seasons the schoolboys have
ever witnessed.

formidable contender for the title OF

eleven. Coach McCaffrey will probably
give all Of his substitutes a chance In
tho game.
II was stated last week that the Com
merce team was beaten by st. Peters Of
Jersey City by the score of 5 to 0. but
such was not the case. Manager Taylor

like the schoolboy fans enlightened on
the matter. He said. the game was

School will probably not get another
game with Commerce because Of their
unsportsmanlike treatment of the Or

Probably the best battle to-day will

MONTANA FARMERS GAMERS,

Among last weeks press dispatches
was one from Duluth that had more
than ordinary interest to Montana,
especially the farmers. In q brief way
it told of the great victory won by the
advocates of Durum, or macaroni
wheat, as it Ia more commonly known.
Durum sold at q premium over No. l
hard, being quoted at . 1.043, an eighth
of q cent higher than the famous
northern wheat.
Just what this means In the way oil
increased wealth for Montana Is hard
to say, but it will add thousands Of
dollars annually to the income from
the farms OF the state. Durum II
eminently q wheat for the dry.land
farmers. It does we'll on q minimum
of moisture, while as regards yield
actual experience has shown it to ex
Gel any grain that can be raised. II
this regard it has everything to com

It has been recognition OF this thu

May Condemn Scales.

HELENA, Oct. 13.-Computing scales
that overcharge customers are In gen.
eral use in Montana. according to
Joseph Corby, deputy state sealer of
weights and measures. Not all the
computing scales used in the state thus
defraud buyers, but some do, and they
are to be found in all parts of the state.
Mr.. Corby does not accuse the merch.
ants OF MISUNDERSTANDING party to the
deception, believing rather that they
accepted without question the accura cy
of the scales.
The mechanism of the computing
part is 90 adjusted that II the merch'
ant gives just a grain or two addi.
tional weight the dial automatically
registers from two to four cents nor
Mr.. Corby referred the question tc
the attorney general of whether In
spectors have the right to prohibit thu
use of charts used In computing scales
or balances which are found incorrect
and was a advised that approval of sucl
scales should be withheld.
Replying to another query the at
torney general holds that q fee ma!

it's extreme hardness, the mi,lers would
not handle the grain, special machin.
cry being required for its reduction to
-four. In addition, they also set up
the claim that because of it's color
which is somewh at darker-four made
from macaroni wheat was less salable.
In consequence of the opposition OF
tue millers the use of durum -four was
confined almost exclusively 70 the
manufacture of macaroni and certain
cereal foods.
In their contest with the millers the
farmers have been aided materially
by the traders, particularly those OF
Duluth, who long ago recognized the
great benefits that would come to the
growers il Durum were given its prop
er place in the list OF -four producing
grains. As already stated. it yields
greatly in excess Of the ordinary
varieties of wheat, while at the same
time it is richer in gluten and protein
and therefore to be preferred as An
article OF food. This fact was recOg.
nized . number OF years ago by at
least q foreign 9overnment-thst OF
Japan.
In making up its army ration, the
government Of that country decided
that bread made from macaroni wheat
afforded one component that was al.
most ideal. Acting on this, agents of
the Japanese were sent to this country,
who bought immense quantities of
macaroni wheat and -four, refusing to
buy any other, Notwithstanding the
difficulty experienced in securing q
sufficient quantity of the grain and
-four. In a way q boom in macaroni
wheat was started, as it gave the
growers and traders renewed courage
and confidence and they continued to
push their favorite grain. Last
weeks proceedings on the Duluth
market would show that they have
won.
There Is practically no limit to the
amount OF Durum that can be grown
on the benchlands of Montana. With
q market assured for the output, cou'
pied with q fair price, the dry land
farmers of the state have q new source
Of wealth opened to them the posi-
bilities of which are almost beyond
