TREND IS UPWARD
IN STOCK MARKET
Buying Side Favored, But No
Particular Group Has
Favor of Traders.
Spccial Dispatch TO The star.

NEW YORK. February 24.-The up,
ward movement on the Stock Ex.
change was carried on throughout the
greater part of today's session. No
particular group was favored in the
buying but the ease with which
stocks selected for leadership moved
forward indicated that the line of least
resistance still lay on the buying side.
There were no developments in the
outside news to bring about a change
in sentiment So far as the oil shares
were concerned everything unfaVor
able that could be known came to
hand yesterday. The manner in which
BarnSdall Corporation Glass "a went
forward today was impressive and 1t
furnished one of the features of the
trading in this group. Directors are
scheduled to meet for divident action
early in March and the best opinion
WAS that in view of the way in which
earnings have been running some
thing more than the regular quar-
terly dividend at the rate of 81 an
nually might be expected.
Industrial shares generally showed
their ability to resume the upward
movement, and the steelS were by no
means neglected. United States Steel
common, which had featured the mar
Ret on the day preceding, opened at
new high prices, but the buying was
not sustained, as it had been 'yester-
day. Other steel shares went forward,
new high records being established in
Bethlehem and Republic Iron and
Steel. but as the session progressed
AL the early improvement was not
maintained.
Short covering. which carried Bald
win Locomotive forward to record
high prices yesterday, was not as
argent, and the market for that stock
came off rather sharply at intervals.
Leadership of the equipments was
assumed by General Railway Signal
which went forward into new high
ground following announcement that
the company had closed several i'm
portant contracts for the automatic
electric block signal requirements of
two prominent railroads.
Railway shares were not as promi-
nent as they had been, but it was
noteworthy that there was no dispo-
sition to liquidate holdings of this
class of stocks After the first hour
Wabash common was brought to the
front and bid up rather sharply, but
its strength failed to influence a re-
newed demand for railway shares
generally. Reading continued to re-
cover following the drastic break
which set in after the Supreme Court
decision in the Los Angeles and Salt
Lake case Above 109 it compared
with the previous final of 1919. High.
grade dividend payers of the type of
AtchiSOn, Norfolk & Western and
New York Central were bid up
point or more.

MISS JEAN MCLEAN likes

back riding is by far the incest
thing to do in it. She was made
particularly miserable when
she fell victim to a series of
painfulboils. Her mother writes,
my daughter Jean had such a
bad boil on her leg that l per-
suaded her to try Yeast. She
did and had no more trouble
until she stopped eating Yeast.
Then she had another boil-on
her arm. She began the Yeast
again. and again was all right
until she stopped. This time
the boil came on her eye but
after this third one she ate the
Yeast more faithfully. This
was a year ago and she hasn't

will be no further trouble with

M'FADDEN BANKING
MEASURE IS SIGNED
Places National Banks On Parity
With State Chartered DepOsitOries.

Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Coolidge signed the branch banking
bill Friday at the same time that he
vetoed. the McNary-Haugen farm
measure with which it had been link
ed in senate consideration.
The McFadden-Pepper act becomes
effective Immediately and puts an
end to the long controversy over
branch banking by national banks
by placing them on parity with
state banks which are permitted by
local laws to engage in branch bank
ing.
The most important section of the
measure, however, is that extending
indefinitely the charters of the Il
federal reserve banks. 1t was be
/ cause of the Importance Of this sec
ton that those in charge of the bill
in the senate invoked the debate limi
tation rule for the first time on pure

personality of the senator.
veto ruins his chances to ever be
president again. But this consoles
little, as there is much evidence that
Coolidge has become the rather un-
dignified sacrifice of the Eastern fin
anciers. He pulls their chestnuts out
of the fire at whatever cost in popu-
larity. If he becomes too unpopular
with farmer voters, Wall Street can
easily replace Coolidge. Dawes, for
example, strenuously supported the
, McNary-Haugen bill, and is said to
desire the presidency.
Bill No Worse Than Tariff.
The bill itself, its supporters point
out, provides no bureaucratic aids to
farming that do not already exist
unofficially for iron, tin-plate, tex
tiles, etc. Neither does it discrimin-
ate among products any more than
does the protective tariff, to which
! Coolidge is as firmly addicted as any
stand-pat senator.
Such opposition to the bill as ex
/ lists among farmers centers arounC
the argument that it is relatively
important piece of legislation. 1t il
harmless in general, but provides lit
tie beyond the loan of $250,OOO,OOC
for encouragement of cooperative
selling.
But even that, the farm bloc sena
tors begin to see, was too much fO
the financial section of the republi
can party. The latter tricked tn
farm bloc by supporting the McNary
Haugen bill in congress, got its owl
measure passed, and then had Cool
idge veto the farm bill.

GREENUP'S SUNDAY
DANCE LAW REPEAL


Senate Bill No. 29 by Senator
Greenup to repeal section 1909

Governor Erickson this week.
This is the dancing bill intrOduc-

Schnitzler, Taylor and other
Northeast Montana sOlOns. Rob-
ert Larson lead the fight for it
in tho House and was ably back
ed by Sparkling and several 9th

introducing the bill. which pass
ed both houses but was killed by

Reminding the assembly that
