It is unfortunate that some people
cannot get the perspective of the real
principle of successful dry land farm
ing. Continuous cropping Of the same
land without irrigation in Montana
has proved suicidal policy. Even in
the famous Gallatin valley, with soil
of unsurpassed fertility and an annual
rainfall approaching twenty inches,
where annual crops of wheat of fifteen
to twenty-five bushels may be counted
on, farmers have discarded annual
cropping and have religiously adopted

ty Treasurer, is the man who has

for the past two years. A quarter of
million dollars is large amount

The state law prohibits the hold

Here is something that may be of
interest to dog owners The recent
supreme court decision outlines re-
sponsibilities of owners of dogs. The
decision was a case where action had
been brought to cover damages from
the owner OF a dog that barked and
frightened the plaintiffs horse. The
plaintiff was thrown and injured and
brought suit for $500 damages. The
jury gave him verdict for that
amount and the owner of the dog
appealed to the supreme court. The
supreme court sustained the verdict
and said in strong words that the
owners OF barking and vicious dogs
are responsible for all damage caused
by such dogs, and the owners keep
them at their own peril.

pennant hopes received a severe set
back yesterday when the lowly Browns
inflicted an 8 to defeat 1t was one
of the few occasions this season that
the Nationals have failed to score in a
game and incidentally one of the rare
occasions when Griffith's team actually
seemed to be outclassed. Those who
figured that the Nationals were down
TO have an easy time while sojourning
with the Browns have occasion to
change their minds. for there is every
indication that this is going to be a
tough series for the Nationals.
Yesterday the visitors really never
had look-in. They could do little or
nothing with the southpaw delivery of
Earl Hamilton. while both of the
pitchers Griffith used-Vaughn and
Cashion-were numerically pounded.
What is more. the Browns ran. the
bases on Ainsmith and put up a per-
feet game in the field.

that dope always to prove reliable. 1t
cannot be said that Overconfidence
caused yesterdays upset, for Griffith s
players went into the game full of
energy and ambition. but they simply
were held in check by a team which
played the better ball True, it may
have been one of those off days which
all teams encounter now and then, but
it should also serve as warning that
if the Nationals expect to keep up the
pace they have set up to date heSe
they will have to hustle their utmost
and play considerably better ball than
they did yesterday.
The Crowns are not to be fooled
with. The team as now made up
would not stand chance for the flag
or first division. and yet it will prove
itself troublesome on a lot of Occa-
sions. because it has a lot Of good hit
tiers on it and the players can afford
to go through their work in hap

having nothing at stake.
What is more, if the opening game OF

near as troublesome to the leaders as was
expected and the rain at Chicago yes
