CROW Is FRIEND OF FARMER
Biological Survey Discovers That
Birds Devour Insects Injurious
to Man.

Washington-The biological survey,
branch of the department of agri-
culture, which studies the problems of
what animals and birds are beneficial
and what detrimental to the welfare
of man, has just been looking into
the case of the crow. The farmer has
long accused this meddlnsome bird Of
doing him much damage through pull
ing up his corn. The biological sur
vey found, upon examination, that
there were extenuatfng circumstances.
The stomachs of hundreds of crows
were examined that the diet of the
crow might be definitely determined.
In some of these stomachs sprouting
corn was found. In some the eggs of
other birds indicated that the crow
was robber of its fellows. For each
grain of corn or bird egg, however,
the Investigators found that there had

LOCAL BASKETBALL QUINTET

TOURNAMENT,
IS ELIMINATED
Sweetgrass County Defeats Five
Touted to Win Championship-Ana-
conda Stars Barred and Hester of
MissouIa R~einstated.

Bozeman, March 6.-(Special.)-The
Missoula high school basketball team
won its first game in the state tourna-
a score of is to 7. Missoula had an
easy time of it and the only feature of
the game was the rough playing of
the Columbus five. This makes the
Missoula five eligible for the next Sc
ries of elimination games. The other
teams still left in the race are Billings,
Fergus county, Helena, SWeetgrass
county, Beaverhead county, Great
Falls, Carbon county, Park county,
Anaconda, Gallatin county, Chinook,
Dawson county, Pony, Forsyth and
jefferson county.
Little excitement was expected In
these preliminary battles, but today's
program furnished a number of sur
prises. SWeetgrass county, an al
most unconsidered team, eliminated
from the tourney the crack Elathead
county five, touted as coming cham
pions. The game was close and hard
fought, Sweetgrass winning finally by
a score of is to Is. This puts the
husky Sweetgrass five into the lime
light and makes it the most promising
of all championship aspirants. Butte,
too, was eliminated, the Billings five
winning from the coppertoWn a by
the close score of Is to ID.
Anaconda was practically eliminated
from the championship race yesterday
when her two brightest stars, Burnett
and Sullivan, We're declared ineligible.
Missoula's stock rose rapidly when
Hester, protested and barred earlier
in the season by Anaconda, was REIN
stated by the eligibility committee.
The scores today were as follows:

JOHNSON WILL STOP
FICTITIOUS WRITING

3. johnson of the American league is
said to have a bomb ready for hurl-

scribes in his organization. 1t was
learned last night hat the leagues
executive was about to issue an edict
which would either stop ball players
from writing expert opinion for news
papers or stop their salaries.
1T is not the intention to infringe
on the rights of the players said
Johnson, but alleged expert criticism
and baseball playing do not mix. I
would not mind so much if the play
ers themselves wrote the stuff which
appears in the newspapers, but in the
great majority of cases the players
never see the stories to which their
names are appended until after they
have been printed.

can be done-and I think it can-no
