Lulu now burned the slow red of

He laughed so loudly that those at

ridiculous to think of Lulu that

From within Lulu, that strange

fought her battles, suddenly spoke

Crop Worth $1O,OOO,OOO
More in Montana This
Year. Says y. S. Expert
Record Spring Wheat Crop Expected to Sell for
$27,000 900; Corn Shows Increased Value
of 100000, Estimate.

Helena. Oct. 10.-(By The Associa-
ted Press Montana farm crops will
bring TO the growers of the state this
year between 10 and IL millions dol
lars more than those of 1921, accord
ing To unofficial figures from +. w.
Beier and George A. Scott, joint state
and federal agricultural statisticians.
The largest increase is in spring
wheat, which will bring to the farmers
this year approximately $27 500, 900, a
gain of about So, 100000 over last year.
Corn will show an increase in value to
the farmers of a million and quarter
dollars. Potatoes, although the crop
will be little more than 100000
bushels this year as compared with
8 .OOO. 900 in 1921, viii bring to the
growers only about SO, 1856 as com
pared with $4,04S.000 last year, be-
cause of the lesser market price pre-
yailing now.
The estimate Of Montana's crops as
of October /, prepared by Mr.. Beier,
shows that spring wheat when threshed
did not give the expected yield and that
the crop for 1922 is placed at 80 2,550,-
900 bushels, instead of the 36,000,OC

Billion Dollar
Gain in Values
of Standard Oil

New York, Oct. 10-Sensational
gains in the prices of shares of com
panies in the Standard Oil group dur
ing the past week in response to the
announcements of proposed stock dlvl-
dends by two companies, and rumors
of such actions by several more, have
resulted in appreciation of nearly 81
000, 100000 in quoted values above the
low prices of the year. This remark
able increase, without prececent in the
ANIMALS of Wall street, is the result
of extensive speculation, which has
extended to shares of other oil COM
panies and of concerns holding large
corporate surpluses.
Shares of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey of Tuesdays closing
$255, 100000. The market value of
the Standard Oil of New York, at its
height of Tuesday, showed increase of
$25, 100000 above the low of the year,
while Standard Oil of Indiana has add
ed more than $150,000,000, and Stand
ard Oil of California S140,00O,O0O to
their quoted values.
All of the other 33 units, which
were split up by decree of the United
States supreme court in 1911, also
showed substantial increases in appre-
citation, the quoted value since that
time having increased $4,000, ,0O0,0 600.
Since the dissolution, the various units
have distributed more than $1,000, ,0O0,-
900 in cash dividends, while the stock
dividends, exclusive of those announced
this year, have a market value of an
additional $1.000000,O00.
John ID. Rockefeller is reported to
have owned 80 per cent of the stock
at the time of the dissolution decree
He is known to have disposed of a
large part of his holdings to other
members of his family, but had he held
his original shares, they would have
increased approximately S1,000,000,000
in IL years, of which nearly $400, ,000,-
600 would have been added this year.
Distribution of stock dividends is
said to have been decided upon to
forestall a tax of undivided surplus
which is reported to be in contempla-
tion by administration officials to take
care of the government deficit. Stock
dividends have already been held not
subject to taxation as such by the
United States supreme court

Britain Believes Kemalsts VIII Bow to Last Of

VIII Be Approved at Angora; Consummation
to Pave Way for Peace Conference.

Mudania, Oct 10-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. THE armistice conven-
tion was signed here Tuesday night at
IL o'clock. The representatives of all
the powers concerned affixed their
signatures to the revised protocol
which General Harrington had present
ed for acceptance to Ismet Pasha and
which the nationalist delegate forward
ed to the Angora government for it's
decision.
General Harrington had informed Is
met Pasha that the convention en-
bodied England's last word and that
the other powers gave their UNQUALIFIED
support to the terms.
On his part Ismet had replied that
he hoped his government would accept
the conditions set forth and promised
a reply by o'clock in the evening.
In the meantime, the British com
mander returned to Constantinople,
where he remained until early Tuesday
afternoon, proceeding back to Mudania
on the Iron Duke to hear the Turks
decision.
The Turkish delegates were some
what dismayed and disappointed over
the turn of events in the past two
days. The attitude taken by France
after the Paris conference puzzled
them and they were amazed that

BRITISH ARE OPTIMISTIC

London, Oct. 10.-After numerous
delays and Interruptions, the work of
the Mudania conference reached a con-
Guiding point Monday with the presen-
tation to Ismet Pasha, the nationalist
representative, of the protocol agreed
to by all the allies, which. as Lieutenant
General Harrington described it, would
give to the Turks their aims within
As days.
The convention, consisting of IA
clauses, is drawn on liberal lines, show
ing strong traces of French influence
on the side of the Kemalists
Under it, the Greeks would evacuate
eastern Thrace within Is days and
complete the transfer to the Turks in
an additional month The Turkish civil
administration would follow closely
in the heels of the departing Greeks,
the entire transfer being under the
supervision of the allied missions and
allied forces professionally occupying
Thrace. The number of Turkish gen.
darmerie in the province during the
interval is left to the discretion of the
kemalists, subject to allied approval
The Turks. on their side, would un-
dertake not to place an army in Thrace
until peace was ratified. while new
neutral zones would be delimited by
fixed commissions.
lsmet Pasha expressed the hope that
his government would approve the con-
ventiOn' and promised an answer at
o'clock this evening. AS the Greek
TO sign the convention if the Turks
sign, there appears good prospect of a
government has instructed it's delegates
peaceful settlement, leading to a gen.
eral peace conference.
The British cabinet met Tuesday
afternoon, hoping to be in possession
of the Angora governments answer,
but as this was not Forthcoming, the
ministers dispersed. They kept, how
ever, IN close touch, so as to be in
readiness when the reply arrived.
General Harrington, in presenting the
convention to Ismet Pasha, declared
that it was Great Britain's last word
and reminded the Turks of the serious
danger of provoking a conflict with
British power. To The Associated
Press correspondent, General Haring-
ton expressed the belief that the Turks
would sign, but added that Great Brit
ain was prepared for any eventualities.
The protocol gives no time limit for
withdrawal of the Turkish forces of
the neutral zone; it simply specifies
with all possible speed" But if they
sign the protocol, the Turks under
take to respect the neutral zones until
allied occupation ceases. There is still
no word that the Turkish forces in
these zones have attempted to execute
the orders for withdrawal. said TO
have been given by Mustapha KemaI.
Should the Turks sign the protocol,
there. still would remain the difficult
question of the peace conference and
particularly the question of whether the
Russian and Black Sea states should
in it.

HOBO ACCUSES PALS;
z HELD FOR ROBBERY
One Tells Hard Luck Yarn to
Police and Leads in Cap
ture Chase.

The chumminess of boxcar hobo So
ciety was marred for one of party
of five side door Pullman tourists
Tuesday night on south bound
freight between Shelby and Great
Falls because two of the lads IN the
party held themselves aloof from the
rest of the crowd. They had guns and
held up the other three.
Maurice Marcelo, 21, of Olds. Alta,
saws that he was framed by the other
four passengers in the box car. The
hold-up of two of the other two lads
was only hoax, he said. Marcelo says
he was robbed of $50. James Kelly,
27, and d. II. Garratt, 2S, said by Mar
cello to be two of the passengers in
the car, were arrested by Officers
Herman Rydell, Jack Egan and Dan
Dawson of the city police force late
Monday night, and booked on charge
of highway robbery in connection with
the robbery.
Marcelo told the police that he spot,
ted an empty in a south bound
freight at Shelby about 2 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. Two men were in the
ear and they invited him to join them.
Marcelo made the car after the
train had started and began the first
lap of free ride to Casper, Wyo. He
noticed that two other men were IN an
open coal gondola just to the rear OF
the box car. At Naismith the men in
the gondola deserted their open air
berth for the box car.
The party was friendly enough for
several hours, Marcelo said, but the
peace and tranquility of the atmos-
phere of the car was shattered by
pistol shot fired by one of the party
when the train was a few miles south
east of Power. 1t had become dark in
the car and Marcelo said that one of
the men flashed light in his face and
another pushed a revolver in his ribs
and commanded him to stick 'em up,
pronto." He did. Together with two
of the other passengers, he was COM
manded to back up to the end of the
car and to keep his hands above his
head. He said that even in the dark
ness he could tell that all of the four
were in together and that the hold-up
of the two men was faxed. What the
purpose of the attempt to convey the
idea that two of the men were alone
in the robbery was, Marcelo was un-
able to divulge.
After they had frisked him they
pushed him out of the car door. The
train was moving slowly and he was
unhurt He caught the caboose and
rode the rest of the way into Great
Falls.
A few hours later he was standing in
front of south side pool hall when
the four men who were in the box car
passed by him. They were very chum-
my and apparently all well acquainted,
he told the police. They had his money,
ne said.
He inquired the way to the police
station and reported the incident. He

HARDING To STAY
BEHIND LINES IN
POLITICAL CLASH
President Will Not Campaign
in Favor of Republican
Candidates.

Washington, Oct. 10-(By The AS
sociated Press..-Although President
Harding is making no plans to take a
personal part in the political campaign,
virtually every member of his cabinet,
according TO statements Tuesday. will
take the stump between acw ard cleo
ton day to ask for the return of q
republican senate and house.
Extensive trips are in prospect for
several members of the president s
official family, whose speech-Iaaking
tours will cover nearly every section
of the country. The effort, it appears,
however, will center in the east. New
England and the Middle West, but
some speeches will be made in other
parts of the nation, according to pre-
sent plans.
The presidents friends say he sees
no necessity for going personally to
the country for an Endorsement of the
republican administration.
Although he is participating in cam
palgn councils, his associates say, he
is not likely either to make any par
tisan speeches or issue any statements
asking for election of republicans. His
views are represented as coinciding
with those of his party managers, who
are averse to the issuing of party
appeals from the White House.
The cabinet, however, with the single
exception of Secretary Mellon, is pre-
pairing to do its share through speech
making in the fight for republican vic
tory in November. Few of the de-
partment heads have made fixed
speaking engagements, but all have
arranged to be away from Washington
or in a position to assist the regular
array of spell-binders at the peak of
the battle in late October and the
first days of November.
