union Saturday.

The Businessmen easily defeated
the Standard Steel in an Industrial
baseball league game at the high
school field last night and moved
out into sole occupancy OF first
place, gaining a half-gamc lead on
the Peck Spring outfit. Bill Cum
ningham permitted only one hit, en-
cellent support aiding him in turn
ing back the Bearing Makers one
after another. The winners hit Day
hard, Smith. Downham. and Minclla
leading the attack.
After one scoreless inning, the
Businessmen started their scoring in
the second. when they made three
runs. With one away Downham
singled and stole second. Derazio
walked and Ralph Minella sent both
men home with long three Dagger.
LaBonne was safe on a flelder's
choice and Cunningham drove in the
third run with a clean binyle.
-Four more scores were made in
the next inning. the Businessmen
giving a remarkable demonstration
Of consecutive hitting. Billy Toll
and Levine singled and Smith
cleared the sacks with a lengthy
triple. Downham drove Smith in
with hit, and Derazio and Minela
kept the orgy up with safe blows.
The latter was out stealing, however,
and LaBonne and Cunningham could
not do anything, but six hits in
row had been made.
Dulac opened the Standard steel
fourth with a double and Nick Toll
filed out. After Goeb had walked,
Joyce flied out, and Dulac scored.
Cunningham frightened and famed
YacobeIlis. A walk to Thrall, Billy
TOLLS sacrifice, and Smiths single
brought in the last run for the Bus
inessmen.
Old Timers Feature
After four and half innings the
teams put old timers in the lineup,
and these played fully as good ball
as the youngsters had been doing.
The S. r. BIS were reinforced by
the addition of Donlin. former ALL
American fullback; Ed Wilson and
Bill kibner. formerly of the Lafay-
cite polo team; and Jim Paul, who
is said to have twirled last season
for the Colored Giants Of Philadel-
rhia.
The Businessmen countered by
throwing in pinch hitters. Jack
Simpson, the old home run king,
and his brother Jim rushed to the
rescue. Jimmy" Minclla drove a
wicked liner for three bases and
Bert Phelps. who pitched for Wind
sor Locks 20 years ago. scored two
runs with double. 'Spuds' Voisard
swung valianty at three wild
pitches. Their playing was a revela-
ton to the younger men.

Special Session to Consider
Building Lines, School Sites
WILL Be HEARD AUGUST %

This Morning From st. Pauls
Church-Three Deer Craze On
Worthington Ridge Property.

Coming as a surprise. the three
selectmen have issued notice for the
calling OF special town meeting
In the town hall on Monday eve
ning, August o. at s o'clock day
light saving time. Chief among the
projects to receive consideration Is
the report Of the special committee
appointed by the town meeting OF
1925 for the investigation OF the
need Of building lines and permits.
This commission suffered reverses
at its start by the death of two OF
its members. and since then mas
been quiet regarding its work. The
notice that it has reached a conclu-
sion comes as a relief to homo own
ers and future builders in this town.
Other articles to receive consid-
era ton at the hands Of the voters
include the consideration Of piece
OF property 1872 feet by 50 feet ad-
Joining the South school, bounded
on the north by property Of Louis
Edelson. on the east and south by
land OF Adam Adamovtch, and on
the west by the South school prop
erty. The second article provides
that a. vote will be taken as to
whether or not the sum Of $500 or
any portion thereof shall be appro-
priated for the purchase OF the lana
and to consider whether a tax snail
be levied to meet the appropriation.
The second purchase, optioned by
a. committee of the school board for
future expansion plans, concerns
portion Of property located on ALL
ing street, Kensington, and bounded
on the north, east and west by
property OF Willard I. Alling, IN
Guiding about 21o by SIS feet. The
school board has recommended that
site for the location Of new school
building in that district. The sum
of ss,S0o will be voted on to meet
the cost Of the lot. and it shall be
decided as to whether or not the
town will levy tax to meet the APP
preparation.
Both purchases have received the
endorsement of the school board,

school and to provide the children
with adequate space for recreation
The second purchase will eventually
terminate in the erection OF a

Berlinites are reported strictly In
favor of the proposed building line
and permit adoption. The voice of
the 1925 town meeting. which put
the question of the appointment OF
a commission to investigate the
need OF building lines and permits
was overwhelmingly in favor OF the
move and as the plan will be en-
tirely selt-supporting, it is thought
that little opposition will arise
Such restrictions would zone the
town, prohibiting certain buildings
In certain districts and thereby
guaranteeing the future home build
er with restriction from depreciat-
Ing conditions which might arise IN
case the town was unrestricted. 1t

EXPERIMENTS in WEED ERADICATION
ARE SUCCESSFUL ON POLYTECHNIC FARM
Manager of Poly Farm Declares that Montana Can Supply
Sweet Potatoes; Says Corn Growing Would Be More
Successful with Selected Montana Seed

Two experiments beneficial to
farmers of the Midland Empire, one
to exterminate noxious plants and the
other bringing the maturity of field
corn 10 days to two weeks earlier,
were conducted by Billings Polyteeh-
mic this summer and were reported
successful, according to G. c. Holt,
farm manager of the school.
Under the direction of Mr.. Holt, a
systematic war was waged against
some of Montana's troublesome weeds.
Mr.. Holt expresses the belief that one
of the most valuable services Poly
technic can render is to help discover
the best methods of eradicating these
pests from the state.
A special campaign was waged
against the wild morning glory, or
"bind weed" and the "cheese plant"
Cloyd Chatwood and Robert Komoll,
Poly agricultural students, were in
charge of this undertaking. Clean cul-
.ivation and choking were the wea-
oons used in their experiments.
Mr.. Holt states that the expert
nents conducted demonstrate conclu-
'ively the value Of absolutely clean
in ridding fields of the
cheese plant" He said, however, that

impossible to eliminate

Successful incubation of French

ultimately to exterminate woodt1cks

FL. A. Cooley, in charge of that phase
of tick control work, told the state
board of entomology at its October
meeting. The Montana-bred parasites
have reached the "nymth" stage to
the number of 100000. Professor
Cooley told the board also that Tex
as parasite, unknown heretofore as
an enemy of the woodtick, has been
discovered and also will be developed
in this climate as an instrument for
destruction of the pest. Work on the

CHICAGO MAN is
LOUD IN PRAISE OF
MONTANA SCENERY Y

j. G. Black, president of the Black
Novelty company of Chicago, who
with his family left for Illinois after
spending August, September and a
part of October in the mountains east
of Darby, in Ravalli county, predicts
that Montana will be leading play
ground for the nation within a few
years.
Unsurpassed scenery, excellent
water, cool summer nights and the
best fishing and hiking in the coun-
try attract thousands of persons in
congested hot cities to Montana dur
ing the hot seasons" Mr.. Black said
"Our camp received some snow during
the last week, but we will return
again next July and will probably
have several parties of summer va
cationists with us.
IF the state would advertise the
ideal camping sites, scattered over
of miles of beauty spots in
western Montana, inform the thous-
ands who tour Yellowstone and Gla-
cier parks and put up more direction
signs at road intersections, it would
pay thousand-fold."
Mr.. Black predicted that within
,hree years Montana would be noted
throughout the east for it's ideal
camping spots.
