NATC0S TO PLAY
SIMPLEX SATURDAY

Saturday at Exhibition park the Nat
CO team meets the Simplex in the sec
ond part Of the double bill and the
Malleables meet the Jenkins-Vulcan
in the first part.
The Simplex and Natco teams have
been going at fast clip for the last
few weeks and the game Saturday will
prove which can hold first place at the
end of the season. If the Natcos win
they will practically have the pennant
clinched as they only play the Sim
pick twice more and II they lose both
games they will only be tied for first.
If the Simplex wins Saturday it will
pull the Natcos into tie for first
place and then there is chance of
either team winning the pennant or
there is chance Of a tie.
The first game is a cinch for the
Jenkins team unless the Malleables
uneaith some playing better than they
have been doing the last few weeks.

EXPERT TALKS ON
WHEAT PRODUCTION

]. c. Beavers emphasized the i'm
portant points in getting the maxi
mum yield Of wheat at the least cost
in his talk at Jacksonburg Thursday
night before registered men and farm
ers. He urged the use of acid phos-
plate or some high phosphate in pref
erence to complete fertilizers which
the average farmer uses. He showed
with charts that greater returns per
one dollar invested in acid phosphates
were secured on two experimental
farms in Indiana than with the use
of the complete fertilizer. He said
that the seed wheat Of many farmers
has several varieties in it and that
there is poison in it.
w. w Keller gave patriotic talk.
This was one of the largest and most
successful meetings held in the coun-
ty. About 200 were present.

Baseball not only has caught en-"
in England, but also is being played
there on Sundays. The Anglo-Ameri-
can baseball club, which is operating
at the Chelsea football grounds. SIAM
ford Bridge, suburb Of London, has
obtained permission to play Sunday
games with the result that huge
crowds are turning out on the Sabbath.
A recent game on the first day Of the
week attracted 100000 spectators.
The weekday games as a rule draw
all the way from 10000 to 10000 per-
sons. The teams are made up Of
American and Canadian soldiers, who
are gradually teaching their English
brothers how to play the game. The
British government and war charities
are receiving a large share Of the
gate receipts.
The Cubs have convinced the sharps
that they outclass the Giants in the
race for the National League pennant.
The Giants pitching staff has been
shot to pieces and it is impossible at
this stage Of the proceeding to secure
capable boxmen. The Cubs should
win the championship with COM
Portable lead, unless they lose Killefer
and one or more Of their regular play
ers are crippled.

ing that in their bread making, are
giving demonstrations of how to use
substitutes b. fore less experienced
women. In their kitchens, attended
by intensely interested sp ctators,
they are showing how to make pa
latable dishes of all kinds.
Believing that it pays to advertise
conservation and that one can reach
in this manner people whose exist
ence in the city was never dreamed
of, an organization of women in one
of Montana's larger towns arranged
a series Of food displays in the win
dows of various business houses.
One furniture store window in par
ticular attracted much attention. A
handsome dining table, covered with
a snowy damask cloth, had display
ed upon it all manner of conserva-
ton dishes. There was a plate
heaped with biscuits made from
substitute flour; there was a delic-
ions cake cut to display its fine
grain and boasting of its whs at1ess,
sugarless, BUTTERFLIES nature; there
We're all manner of other tempting
foods on dress parade. Attached to
each was a ribbon of red, white or
blue which led down to the floor of
the window and was fastened to
card on which was written very
CLEARLY and legibly the recipe by
which the article was made. Thus
the passerby could read the formula
and see the proof of its goodness at
one and the same time.
ID ways like these Montana's
loyal women are doing such a good
food encouragement work, food en-
forcement may prove Unnecessary.
