The Nationals had their home-run

first tally by slamming the sphere over
the right-field barrier at the outset Of
the third round. Joe's effort matched
the run the AS had put across In round
one, but Comics men came right back
in the latter part Of the third to take
the lead once more and the Nationals
never got near them again. But for

Mexico City, March Pl-Ambas sador Morrow, accompanied by Mrs Morrow, his daughters, Anne and Elizabeth. and Col. Charles A. Lind bergh. his prospective son-in- law arrived at the American em bassy this morning from the Morrow resi- dence at Cuernavaca.
 Ambassador Morrow had plan ned to remain at Cuernavaca until tomorrow, but news of the outbreak of revolt caused his decision to re- turn to the Mexican capital as soon as possible.
 The party came in two automo- piles and while neither had any spe- cial guards, had no trouble during the forty-mile trip to Mexico City.
 Colonel Lindbergh. still using only his left hand, his right being in a sling since his 'mishap" of last week, drove one car. He made the trip in an hour and half which is exceedingly good time.
 Anne Morrow. his fiancee, and her sister, Elizabeth, sat beside him in the front seat. Ambassador Nor row was .n second car.

FIND NATURAL GAS
NEAR MALTA

Malta, July 6.-Natural gas for
Malta came a step closer to reality
when a flow of gas estimated to
be around 1000, 900 cubic feet a
day was struck on the H. G. Rob
inson place northwest of Saco.
The drilling is being done by
the Jones Drilling company OF
Texas for A. H. Perkins of Havre,
who is under contract to furnish
gas to the Montana-Dillon Utilities
company for the proposed pipe
line from Shelby to Glasgow.
1t is said that the gas flow was
struck at a depth of about SOO
feet. The present well is to be
sunk another 200 feet and then
they plan to start others on the
same property.
When the gas first came in it
was ignited, as one of the men
neglected to extinguish his cigar
ct. AS a result, the drilling rig
was partially burned and had to
be moved away from the well
with tractors.

WILLIST0N CHANGING
BACK TO RIVER WATER

Williston, N. D., July 5.-Willis-
ton, which has been using rather
unsatisfactory although apparent
ly wholesome well water since
the current of the Missouri river
changed it's channel so as to leave
intake pipes high and dry a year
or two ago, will again have river
water, according to plans announc-
ed by DR.. H. T. Skovholt, presi-
dent of the city commission.
The city's sewage will be piped
into the Muddy river east of Will
liston instead of directly into the
Missouri river as at present and
when the sewer now being laid is
completed and the other outlet
closed, it will be possible to get
the city's water supply from the
main channel of the river at a
point southeast of the city by ex-
tending the intake pipes.
DR.. Shovholt estimates that it
will be possible to make the
change in six or seven weeks,
tapping the river at a point that
has not been disturbed by the
river current and that promises

FARMS
FIELD DAY, 18th
HUNDREDS OF NJ. DAK.-MONT
FARMERS EXPECTED FOR
DEMONSTRATION

A big field day will be held al
Brockton, the location of Mont
ana's Tractor Experimental Farm
on July 10. Advance information
indicates that several hundred
farmers are expected from North
and South Dakota and over 800
from Montana.
The experimental farm
Brockton is only three years old
but in this short period has be-
come internationally known and
has attracted agriculturalists from
all parts of the world. 1t is the
only experimental farm of it's kind
and is one of the nine farms of
the Fairway Farms corporation of
the state. The other eight farms
of the corporation are located in
widely separated parts of the state
for the purpose of establishing
proper tenant-owner relationships
in farm operations.
The Brockton farm is operated
under the direction of the depart
ment of agricultural economics at
Montana state college. The pro-
gram is now being prepared by E.
A. Starch of this department of
the state college. Starting at
1880 in the morning, a short
speaking program will be held.
In the inspection tour of the big
field day, the visitors will have an
opportunity of viewing the latest
developments in farm machinery
and mechanical equipment used in
low-cost wheat production. The
many different kinds of tractors,
the blowing, cultivating and sum
fallow machinery will be in
operation during the day. Other
machines for use in seeding, har-
vesting and threshing will be on
and run for the benefit of
the visitors,
In addition to the machinery on
display, the records kept since the
installation of the farm will be
available to the visitors to show
how progress has been made in re-
cost of production through
the use of machinery.
