sunday VIII be a red hot day for fsh fans of this city when two games will be played in the city title com petition which opened with a bang in Kensington last Sunday Kensing- ton and the Pirates will play the second game of their series while the Corbin Red Sox and the Falcons will commence play in their series.
 The managers of the teams are guarding their pitching selections very closely and will not give any dope on who will work the games Sunday. Most of the managers state that they will wait until Sunday to watch their proteges work out and the condition Of the tvirlers will go far towards deciding who will occupy the mound In the games.
 Tomorrow will see the second last games of the City League being played off at Walnut Hill park. The league is scheduled to end next Saturday, August c9. The Rangers at the present time occupy first place in the standing and if grit means anything, they will stay there to win the honors that go with the cham pionship of the city league.
 The Boys league, sponsored by the Rotary club. ends next Friday, week from today. That leaves three sets of games to be played including today's contest. Paradise Park and Washington are running neck and neck In this race and 1t looks from the present standing as If the two will have to play off to settle the pennant question. The teams are not scheduled to meet each other but each has a hard row to hoe 10 come through with win.
 Washington has two more games to play, one with the Nathan Hale team today and one 8. week from to- day with the Burritt while Paradise Park will also meet two comers
 ! because of the fact that they will end up against the Boys club. This team has been playing erractic ball in the league. but 1t is one of the strongest combinations and should be able 10 take both leaders into camp. This makes it doubtful If Paradise Park will have an easy time when the two meet next Friday.
 II is understood that group of New Britain athletes will be enter ed in the state kacey track and field meet which takes place in New Haven tomorrow. None of them. however, have given any notihca- tion that they will be in the meet.
 Fans are starting 10 bet that Washington will repeat in the American league again this year and seeing that the Senators went into first place yesterday the dope looks good, There are a great many who would like to see Connie Mack back in first place again this year, but there is also 8 great following which "Bucky" Harris lined up through the work of his team in last years world series.

the theatre, when our driver, Mrs.

take you all back to Milford, Della
ware and hope to have you arrive
home well and happy, about noon on
Sunday, after trip of 1853 miles,
with only one little puncture OF a

Hurrah for Emma Taylor, real

AS we rolled over the undulating

TELEPHONES TOP
POPULATION gain

The number of telephones in the
United States increased 1853 per cent
during the five years ended January
1, 1925, while the population of the
country increased only 7.3 in the same
period. At the beginning of 1920
there were 1865 74 telephones in
use in the United States, while on
January 1, 1925, there were 16,O72,-
500, an increase of 3,404,O26.
This f~ive-year net increase in the
number of telephones in service in
the United States is more than two
and a half times the total number
of telephones which comprise the en-
tire telephone system of Great Bri-
tain. This means that during the
last five years alone the telephone
companies of the United States have
| added to their systems enough tele-
phones to form two complete systems,
each as large as that operated at the
present time by the British Post Of
flee throughout the whole Of Great
Britain, with a considerable number
of telephones left over.

Average-Wheat Shows Loss
of 100000 Bushels

HELENA, MOnt.-0ctOber crop es-
Inmates for Montana, made cooper
atively by the federal department of
agriculture and the state department
of agriculture, show that five crops
now promise larger harvests than in
1924 and six crops will exceed the ave-
ebage production of the five year
period 1920-1924, according to J.. G..
Diamond, ~statistician in charge of the
work.
While the total wheat crop Of the
state will fall about 5000, 900 BUSH
els below that of last year, it will be
only about 6,OOO,O 600 bushels below
the 192O-1924 average production.
Corn, while falling slightly below last
years production, will make a crop
nearly 100000 bushels larger than
the five year average. Barley, rye,
potatoes and beans are yielding larger
crops compared both with last year
and average, while corn, wheat, oats,
flax and wild hay are all yielding
less than in 1924. Corn and flax will
exceed their five year average prOduc-
ton and the others will fall but
moderately below this average.
Conditions Favorable
Conditions during the FIRST half Of
September were generally favorable
for harvests and threshing. Some late

appointment which will be made De-
cember &c, must be in the hands Of
the committee on selection, J. r.
Thomas, P. o. Box 1856, Butte, chair
man, by October "a, it is announced.
The stipend of a Rhodes scholarship
is $50 pounds sterling a year, or more
than $1,000 in American money. The
prize is a much coveted one, and it
is believed scores of Montana young
men will compete for it. No scholar
ship was offered last year.
The first Rhodes scholar from Mon
tana was George E. Barnes, who re-
ceived his B. A. degree from the
State university in 1902. He was
elected in 1903 and entered Oxford in
1904. He received his Oxford degree
in 1907, achieving a first class in the
Honour School of Divinity.
No appointment to Oxford from
Montana was made in 1905, and nc
scholarship was offered in 1906. The
1907 appointment was given to J. R
Thomas, who is now chief accounting
officer in Montana for the Montana

GALLATIN FARMERS May HAVE GRAIN
PROTEIN TESTED AT State COLLEGE

due to the fact that there is an ever
increasing tendency on the part of
buyers to buy grain on a protein
basis. The comparatively high prem
ium paid for much Of Montana's
wheat is due to the fact that it is
high in protein. Formerly all grain
was bought on the same basis with
grade the only consideration; now a
knowledge Of protein content is
equally important.
Tests Strictly Official
The tests made at the State Col
lege laboratory are strictly official
and r recognized as such by the
grain trade. A close check of Mon
tana tests by other official labora-
tories Of the country have given the
Montana laboratory a high rating for
accuracy and dependability.
Farmers wishing TO have their
grain tested for protein should send
a representative sample Of about a
pint to the Grain Inspection Labora-
tory at Bozeman. If different fields
produce different quality Of grain It
Is best to send samples Of each, and
the threshed grain from Che different
fields should be kept in separate bins.
"a small cloth sack Is the best con
tainer for sending samples through
the mail. The fee for making pro.
TEN tests IS enc dollar,

FOREST REVENUE
Shows Big gain
Increase Tor Summer Months
Over $50 per cent Compared
With 1924

MISSOULA, Mont, Oct. 14-(Spe-
cial to The Ccur.er).- Revenue from
the p National fC-osts f District l.,
wh..h Includes i )ntara, Northern
idaho, and eastern Washington, was
more than TWO and one-half times
greater during July, August and Sep
TENDER this lvar than fer the cor
responding period last year, accord
ing to a report just given out by the
district forester here. Receipts for
the three months this year totaled
$249, 547.9O, as against SOS, 942.83 last
year.
The increase is due largely to an
increase in the receipts from sales of
government timber, chiefly on the
northern Idaho forests. The total
revenue from this source amounted TO
S236,343.53, more than halt of which
was turned in by the Occur d'Alene
forest. Of the Montana forests, the
Kootenai heads the list for timber
sale receipts, with $7,406.57.
Fees for grazing permits constitute
the next largest item, the receipts to-
falling |S11,114.23. The amount for
the same period last year was $10,-
644.O6.
twenty-five per cent Of the gross
receipts from the forests goes to the
counties in which the forests prOduc-
ing the revenue are located, to be used
for roads and schools. An additional
10 per cent is also returned to the
forests themselves to be used for the
construction and maintenance Of road:

The Grain Inspection laboratory at
Montana State college completed pro-
TEN tests on 400 samples of wheat
during its first month Of operation,
according to a report by w. o. Whit
comb, superintendent Of the labora-
tory. Samples came from all parts
Of the state from 12O firms and in
dividuals in "a different wheat grow
ing centers.
: This demand for testing service on
the part Of farmers during the first
month of operation of the laboratory
on a commercial basis, is a striking
indication that farmers r becoming
more and more interested in know
ing the quality Of their wheat before
selling it.
Numerous Inquiries
Farmers Of GalIatin county are
showing an especially marked increase
in interest in the quality Of their
wheat from a protein standpoint, says
Mr.. Whitcomb, with inquiries coming
in every day for information on the
protein test. With the facilities Of
the grain laboratory so close at hand
It is expected that Gallatin county
farmers viii make the greatest use
Of the laboratory.
