BY J. ED GRILLO.

NEW YORK, February 11.-From a

a most satisfactory one. The Nationals

will present a virtually new team, in
which there will be a lot of interest,
and after playing four games there. the
Griffmen go to Boston, where four more
games are scheduled in three days. two

The home series begins April 20 with
the Yankees as opponents. Then the
Athletics follow with four games and
the champion Red Sox appear for an
equal number Then the Griffmen go
on their second eastern trip. playing at
Philadelphia and Boston before going
home for long siege of games with
the western clubs.
The locals play Decoration day at
Boston. Fourth of July and Labor day
and thirteen Saturdays at home, and sew
en- Sundays in the west which are to be
played two at Chicago, two at Detroit,
TWO at ST. Louis and one at Cleveland.
If the Griffmen can stay up In the
race this year and prove the usual good
attraction on the road this should prove
a most profitabl season.
Manager Griffith is particularly salts
fed with the Nationals dates.
1T is the best schedule from Wash
ington standpoint that we have ever
had since l have been identified with
the club" he said. I'VE have the open
ing in New York. where, if the weather
is good, we ought to draw immense
crowds, and then we have a morning
and an afternoon game in Boston on
Patriots day. April 10. not to speak of
a morning and an afternoon game at
Boston Decoration day. We will have
played twelve gamees with Boston be-
fore the 1St of June, and that will be
an advantage, to my way of thinking"

Case Of
Interest to Our
Farmers

Helena, June 15,-The appeal
of the state from the order Of
the district court of Teton
county dismissing the case
against the Rocky Mountain
Elevator company for alleged
violation of the anti-discrimi-
nation laws, was set for hear
ing by the supreme court today
for June %.
The complaint charged that
the defendant maintained
elevator at Choteau and Dutton
among other places. There
was no competition at Dutton
but there is at Choteau. There
is a difference Of one cent in
freight rates to eastern and
western terminals between the
two places, and a difference of
cent and a half to Great Falls.
January 10, 1915, a farmer de-
livered a load of wheat to the
Dutton elevator, receiving Sill
a bushel and with five pounds
deducted for dockage. The
same day he hauled another
load from the same bin to Cho-
teau, where there is competition
receiving $1.20 bushel with
only one pound deducted for
dockage.
The lower court held the
complaint was insufficient and
the law, passed in 1918. too am.
biguous to define a crime.

those on the different COM
mittees. Ways and means
were thoroughly discussed for

of the program. A number of
new features for the sporting

will be added. Another can

to provide additional funds, to
insure best ever" celebration.
George Berns very generously
offered the committee the SER

which he will attach to a road

ball diamond and race track.
He also volunteered to move
the pavilion from it's present
site to any place the committee
may designate, free of charge.
If the committee can secure
consent to have it moved Mr..
Berns' offer will certainly be
accepted.

Loan Sharks Are
WorkingMontana
Bankers Paper Warns Public to
Use Care In Dealing
With Such

Montana Bankers and farmers
seeking loans and investors
looking for an outlet for their
funds are warned in an editorial
in the June issue of the Mon
tana Banker, just issued at
Helena, to beware of the
mushroom mortgage concerns
and inexperienced farm mort
gage men, who are operating in
the state. The publication says:
Farm mortgage bankers of
Montana as we'll as other
northwestern states, because of
their inability to supply the
demand of high-class mortgages,
find themselves confronted
with situation which unless
guarded will result in a harvest
Of foreclosures, and a shattering
of the confidence of an i'm
portant class of investors.
THE remarkable market flor
farm mortgages during the last
few months has been the in
ception of large number of
mushroom MORTGAGE concerns.
and have attracted to the
business many inexperienced
men, whose investment offer
ngs would naturally be more or
less of an inferior character.
Investors who have con-
fidence enough in this part of
the country to lend their
capital 0e used in developing
the farms deserve to be warned
of the danger OF dealing with
those people. Large amounts
of money will be required each
year for many years to come
to insure proper development
of the agricultural resources of
the state, and to obtain this
capital readily the present high
standing of the Montana farm
mortgage must be maintained.
THE farmer is even more
likely to become a victim than
is the investor, and should be
advised to exercise due diligence
in negotiating loans. The chief
danger to him lies in his in
ability to Judge when he needs
capital and the amount he
needs. Coupled with honest
information on this point would
be given careful instruction
and interested advice in the
expenditure of his money
should the borrower be dealing
with his local bank or an es-
tablished farm mortgage cor
poration.
