The reason, Lee explained. is tina,
the small grain crop will apparently
be short in many sections and less
twine will be needed. Although most
of the twinc has been contracted b,
dealers in this and adjoining states
Lee expects y number Of cancellations
which will materially reduce tho sale
Another factor. he said, is the prob.
able reduction in the amount OF
twine sold at the prison plant this
year in comparison with last year
In 1925, he said, 100000 pounds ol
twine were sold to farmers at tn,
prison who loaded it into automobiles
or trucks and hauled it TO their farms
Lee recently sent salesman into
certain parts of Montana in an efforl
to drum up some business there.
Meanwhile the prison twine plan
continues to operate on full-timt
basis although Lee no longer is work

TILDEN LOSES
ANOTHER MATCH
CHAMPION TENNIS PLAYER DE
FEATED TWICE IN
ONE WEEK


NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-William T.
Tilden, national champion, who for
six years had been all conquering,
has been defeated at tennis singles
twice in a week. A week ago in the
national indoor championships he lost
to Jean Borotra, of France. Yester-
day, Rene Lacoste, of France, downed
Tilden in the first match of the
Franco-American indoor team COM
petition.
Borotra's margin was 1911, 6-3;
Lacoste's was Ga, So, 6-3.
Vincent Richards, number 8, among
the stars of the United States, over
threw Borotra in the singles yester-
day at Ga, 4-6, Ga and 6-2.
Some argue that the American tit.e-
holder, who is 80 years old, is not
himself indoors, but the French, also,
are deserving their specialt:es when
playing on boards. Tilden's acting
keeps him nightly before the foot
lights, which may interfere with his
eyesight.
Richards and Tilden will face La
coste and Jacques Brugnon in a
doubles battle at p. m, as feature
of today's team program. go
