Richey Ties the Score

In the game with Richey Saturday
evening the situation was reversed,
the Wolves having what seemed a
safe lead for six of the seven innings
Then the visitors, who had been score
less for four innings, seemed to solve

ones and looked dangerous for a
minute or two King relieved "Buzz'
and retired the side without further
damage.
Then the Wolves got down to bust

KING GETS CREDIT
FOR WINNING TWO
WOLVES TAKE BOTH STAMPEDE
GAMES-DEFEAT GILBERT
SON 4-3; RICHEY 5-6

King, pitching beautiful ball in the
Culbertson game Friday evening,
went along for the seven innings.
The team, after almost throwing the
game away, came back and got some
runs for their pitcher in the last in
ming, scoring a total of three, or
enough to win.
After making one run in the fourth
walked, Smith hit one on the nose
to open our half of the sixth, Crockett
for two bases scoring Crockett, then
there was an error by the catcher
and Shenkenberger was safe. Busby
then hit one that the thirdbaseman
mussed around and Smith and Con-
ME scored Busby made hard try
but was put out at the plate on a
nice throw from the outfeld.
CuIbertson, Leads OFF
Culbertson made two of their runs
in the first inning. Olson got
scratch hit over second base, then
coupled with an error by the catcher
and one at third base counted two
runs They made another one in
the fifth on errors at second and
short. King then decided that this
was strong enough and tightened.
The rest of the club figured that the
criers of northeastern Mon
tana had had their share of the
breaks and stepped out and won the
game as told above.

third, s25.0O, to Neal Stevenson.
Bob Askins of Ismay went into the
lsemi-fnals with a badly sprained
ankle which greatly Bampered him.
Morris Denham. the Hinsdale rider,
received the most serious injury of
the Stampede after he had ridden out
a bad one. His horse, after giving
up the effort to throw him, raced
straight for the fence and Morris
attempted to jump clear but struck
a post with great force, breaking
rib. He was taken to a doctor and
was out of the contest. He and
Askins were two of the best riders
in the bunch and their bad luck was
greatly regretted by the crowd
Judging riding and bucking con-
tests calls for long experience and a
technical knowledge of the rules and
of the habits of riders and horses.
The Judges, riding one on each side
and one behind, observe things that

The quarter mile race was won by
Noel Burshia's horse, with Hank Gus

Bell and Mrs. France divided the
money.
The wild COW milking contest was
won by Walking Eagle with Bill Mar

In the calf roping Claude Bearskin
was the winner in 48 seconds.
The finals in the bulldogging were
won by Pete Swartz in the remark
able time of "a seconds, with Newton
Strike second and Don Stevenson
third.
Charley Evans proved the most ex-
pert in roping the goats.
The coyote roping event was some
thing that had not appeared on the

Museum, Alas! Has No Pink Headed Duck

birds which rose with strange Squawks.
They interested number of rajahs,
offered rewards of 200 rupees, or $40,
and sent squads of hunters in every
direction where pink-headed ducks
were reported. They were fooled again
and again by psuedo-pink-heade
duck, the red-crested poichard, but
bagged none with the true coral shade.
Mr.. Varnay said that the quest Of the
pink-headed duck would be continued
when the expedition starts again this
fall in search of little known animals.
One of these is the Schomburgh deer,
whose horns have been brought in by
natives, but which has never been
caught or killed by whites. Another
object of the new expedition is the cap
ture of giant land tortoise which has
left footprints fifteen to eighteen
inches long but has never been seen BY
man so far as is known. These and
other rare specimens are to be bagged,
it is expected, in the course of an over
land march through a country where
no white man has been before and
where no natives live. They will 60

Proper Sowing of Wheat
Will Kill HeSsian Fly

Wheat Sown too soon serves as fall
pasture for the Hessian fly, one OF
the crops worst enemies, and enables
the pest to live over and cut down the
wheat crop of the following season.
On the other hand, by delaying SOW
ing until after the ''fly free" dates, an
nounced locally by county agricultural
agents, farmers can break the life cy-
Gle of Hessian fly and rid their wheat
crop of the pest the year following.
This is because the fly has Two life
cycles a year. Each cycle, if COM
pleted, has four stages. To cut into
the succession at any point breaks up
the whole business. From eggs laid
on the leaves maggots hatch. These
maggots feed on wheat stalks near the
base of the leaves, sucking juice that
should 90 TO make grain, and dam
aging the stalk so that it breaks and
lodges easily This done, the maggots
go into puparia or flaxseed form
that lives on in the soil.
Thus, by concerted late sowing of
this crop county can smash by
starvation that fall brood of fly And
without a fall brood there can be no
spring brood. But one or two fields
of aarly-seeded wheat can infect a
whole locality.

Important to All Women
Readers Of This Pape,

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney, trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe Respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved TO be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam,
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at
all drug res.-Advertisement.

Important Factor in
Growing Alfalfa Crop

An important factor in the success
of growing alfalfa is the use of lime,
which should be applied two to four
tons per acre, depending on the fine
ness of grinding and form of lime
used. If ground rock lime is used, it
may be applied on top of the seed bed
either before or after planting. In no
case should the lime be plowed under.
For fertilizer 400 to 500 pounds Of
acid phosphate should be applied at
time of seeding. A light top dressing
OF nitrate of soda may be applied if
dry weather or other adverse condi-
lions are encountered after planting
time. On some soils that tend to be
light and sandy, it will be found ad-
visable to apply potash at time of
seeding. Forty 70 one hundred pounds
of nitrate of potash or its equivalent
will be found effective on a light
sandy soil.

Attorney General Upholds Secretary

Secretary DENLY that he is the supreme
authority in determining whether an
officer of the navy is entitled to allow
ances, and that the allowances must be
granted by the Treasury department on
the certification Of the Navy depart
ment. The opinion inferentially sus-
tains Secretary DENLY in that conten-
ton.
Two cases were involved in the Opin-
ion rendered. One was that of Chief
Pay Clerk Theodore F. Howe of the
navy, who was convicted by court mar-
tial of embezzlement of public funds
amounting to $12,S79, but was exon
Grated by all the members of the court
of any actual culpability, the deficiency
having been deemed by the court as
having been incurred in the line of
duty.
In the second case covered by the at
torney generals opinion the secretary
of the navy held that he had the right
to relieve bondsmen of Commander
Philip ]. Willette of the Navy Supply
corps from obligation to pay $3.50 which
Commander Willette was charged with
having expended enormously. ;

Utilizing Waste Roughage
for Bedding Material

On every farm there is large
amount of roughage which is not fit
to feed live stock. Sometimes this
is in the form of weeds or broom
sage; sometimes it is damaged hay or
straw. Frequently this material is ig-
nored or thrown in some place where
it can never be made use Of
This sort of material makes excel
lent bedding for all classes of live
stock, says Prof. L. V. Sarkey, chief
of the animal husbandry division, in
discussing the best usages of waste
roughages. 1t absorbs the liquid
manure and, when hauled on the
fields, adds to the organic matter in
the soil. When we take into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that more than half
the value of manure is in the liquid
form, we can easily see how impor-
tant it is to save the liquid and thus
increase the fertility of the soil.

When asked If he were sympathetic

the animals will clean up and use for

l. " II N u VI u ~ u IL "A Il
"a DAUGHERTY has rendered
"a an opinion which apparently
settles a spirited controversy
between the secretary of the navy and
the controller general of the budget 10
regard to jurisdiction over the financial
accounts of officers and enlisted men
Of the navy. The attorney general sus-
stains the contention of Secretary Den
by that he, and not Controller General
McCarl, has the right to determine
whether expenditures Of government
money by persons in the naval service
are made In the line of duty.
This opinion has an important bear
ing on the jurisdiction of the controller
general in other respects than the
cases covered by the attorney generals
ruling. 1t seems to lay down the prin-
ciple that in all cases of the expendi-
ture of government money the heads OF
departments, and not the controller
general, shall determine whether the
persons making the expenditures had
the right to do so.
One phase of the matter involves an
other case concerning the contention OF
