beckoned the Schnitzler family during
past winters but this year they were de-
termined TO give San Diego a thorough
trial and all declare themselves deeply
impressed with the climate and various
attractions here. The Montana family's
visit to San Diego is largely due to the
efforts of the San Diego-California club
with which they carried on considerable
correspondence and which aided them in
getting settled in San Diego.
Good Publicity
"Schnitzler's Ryan plane which has
gained him the title Of the flying ranch
err up north, is practically q duplicate
OF Colonel Lindbergh's famous Spirit OF
st. Louis He uses the ship constantly
to oversee work on his 8.000-acre wheat
ranch in Montana and while not claim
ing to be an expert pilot. he declares he
can fly the ship well enough to keep a
check on the progress of his farm prof.
ects.
I'm addition to farming the Montana
visitor is president of the First State
bank OF Froid and is a state senator.
Since the Legislature in that state con-
only every other year, Schnitzler
is able to spend alternate winters with
his family in a warm climate.
1--WE IA wintered in Florida but do
not like it nearly as well as southern
California" Mr.. Schnitzler said Although
enjoying the months he spent IN Los An
geles and vicinity, the Montana ranchef
added hat he believes San Diego will be
his vacation headquarters on the Pa
cific in the future. He expresses the
opinion that San Diego has unlimited
opportunities to develop as an aviation
center and spoke with enthusiasm of the
ideal flying conditions here"

3 WOOL CLIPS

CONVENTION

Wool prices in the Great Falls terri
tory ranged firmly at 40 cents a pound
the closing day of the Montana Wool
Growers convention, with the sale of
three representative clips to the Col
0red Worsted Mills of Providence, X.

mately $4,000 feeces was embraced In
three clips.

In all of the three sales the growers
received 81 q fleece as a down payment
with ne interest charges accruing until
the wool is delivered. Mr.. Armstrong
stated.
The sales were the only ones of conse-

convention. wool men asserted. Where II
was anticipated before the convention
opened that a large number of sales
would be made. 1t developed that the
price Of 40 cents demanded generally by
growers was not met by representatives
Of eastern houses.
Sale OF the L%ingshire clip at 40 cents
shortly before the convention opened
following two important sales at that
price in the Billings country, had the
effect of causing growers to set a Accent
value on their wool and where the de-
mand was not met grower and buver were
at a deadlock.

THE last years results Of experiments
in sheep breeding being carried on
L by the Montana experiment station
at its Fort Ellis farm near Bozeman, con-
tinue to bear out the indications OF other
years, that larger ewes will produce a
higher average amount of wool and lamb
A review of the results obtained in the
Montana experiments was given by DR..
w. E. Joseph. In charge Of the investiga-
lions, at the recent annual meeting OF
the National Wool Growers association
at Ogden.
DR.. Joseph points out that the main
objective of the experiments is TO ar
rive at a practical, reliable indicator TO
be used as a basis for culling out the
breeding flock. The phase OF the work
which gives promising indications is that
which deals with the relation OF the
weight OF the eve to the production Of
lamb n wool.
The following summary by DR.. Joseph
shows Some Of the results Of the expert
ments which have now been carried on
for five years:
The data is given on the successive
lamb crops from 333 range bred and
range raised ewes Of fine wool breeding.
The mature ives ranged from 30 TO l5s
pounds. they were bought as lambs in
1921 and no culling has been done. The
lambs when weighed averaged l48 days
of age. The following table shows the

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. % Retrospective
larger receipts Of corn had an un-
settling effect on all grain values to-
day. Holders of corn future deliveries
sold out on a big scale.
Closing quotations on corn were 1H9c
to INC net lower; wheat B-ssc off,
oats 3sc decline to 1sc up and provi-
sions &c to 12c down.
In the corn market profit taking
sales on the part of recent speculative
buyers were a feature almost from the
beginning. Colder weather and pre-
diotions that the crop movement would
be accelerated thereby TO notable
extent did good deal to check de-
mand as well as increase pressure to
sell although commission house alb
sorption on price breaks appeared fair
ly active at times. No evidence de-
veloped indicative of any new export
business today in corn and January
exports of L557,O0O bushels caused
considerable disappointment.

VETO PREDICTED

lief bill came today from several
sources in the house.

that they would support the meas
ure. He added that he expected
the lengthy committee hearings to
be concluded by the end of this
week with, executive sessions fol-
lowing immediately.
Another method of assisting the
agricultural industry was advanced
in a bill introduced today by Rep
resentative Connally, democrat, OF
Texas, based on the report corpora
ton and export debenture plan sup
Dorted by the national grange. In
an accompanying statement, the
Texan declared the equalization fee
was hopeless and to pass it again
when it is known that it cannot
become a law. is simply to play pol
itics with the farmer" He ex-
pressed the opinion that the presi-
dent would veto a bill containing
it.
At the committee hearing, Sgd
ney Anderson of Minneapolis, presi-
dent of the Millers' National fed
Grafton, and a former member of
the house, urged modification Of
the McNary-Haugen bill SO that the

posed $500, 100000 revolving fund,
instead of it being borne wholly by

NEW YORK, Feb. % R-Erratic
price fluctuations in today's stock
market reflected the nervousness of
professional traders. The rally, which
set in late Monday afternoon and con-
tinued through Tuesday, was resumed
at the opening of the market, but
trading was relatively dull until the
last hour when selling flurries swept
through the market only to give way
to another rally at the close. Final
quotations were decidedly mixed,
disclosing a number of 2 to 5 point
gains, and smaller number of 2 to 8
point declines. Trading again fell
well under 100000 shares.
Call money held steady at Az per-
cent all day despite the calling of
about $30,O0O,000 in bank loans. There
was no change in time money, COM
mercial paper or acceptance rates. The
weekly federal reserve statement on
brokers' loans, which was awaited with
considerable interest in view of the
sharp decline in prices late last week,

against $2,762, $4,000 on February %,

January automobile production figures

Outside the stock market, chief
financial interest centered in the adj

change.
Speculative sentiment in the stock

.CAPPER WARNS
OF NECESSITY
OF FARM RELIEF

NEW YORK, Feb 20 P-America
must bring the farmers standard OF
living up TO its general level or that
of the rest OF the country will be
dragged down to his, Senator Arthur
Capper, republican, OF Kansas, tonight
told the American Country Life asso-
citation.
If the economic pressure which has
driven millions from the farms is not
reduced, 'cities will soon be over
crowded and there will be widespread
unemployment" he said at dinner
conmemcrating the Goth anniversary
of the appointment OF the Roosevelt
commission on country LIE. He
warned that America must not be-
come dependent on others for food
for that way lies the disaster
which has overtaken virtually all OF
the nations of Europe"
"The farm relief program now
being considered at Washington" he
said, lis honest and sincere. 1t asks
only that the government aid the
farmer in organizing the cooperative
machinery he must have to re-
habilitate the industry Before agri-
culture can come back to normal
it must be able to control the mar
keting OF its products as every other
industry does. For this, cooperation
is essential"
Speaking OF Theodore Roosevelt, he
said, his death was a real loss to
the farmers of America, Tor more
than any other national leader he
foreSaw and understood their diff
culties and had real desire to
extend national aid in solving their

DR.. NC MILLAN'S
FATE TO BE UP
TO JURY TODAY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 CR-The
fate of DR.. Charles M. Mcmillan, on
trial for the sack murder Of a
wealthy widow, Mrs. Amelia Apple
by, probably will be in the hands
of the jury by tomorrow noon, as
the result Of the defense completing
it's closing argument late today.
A two-hour plea To- the eight wo-
men and four men. jurors to free
his client was made by Defense
Counsel Jerry Geisler, who, step by
step, sought to break down the
chain of circumstantial evidence
which the state had produced to
convict the physician of the MUIR
der. After Geisler completed his
dramatic appeal, Judge Douglas
Edmonds adjourned court until to-
morrow morning when the final
closing argument of the state and
the courts instructions to the jury
will complete the case for resting
it with the deliberations of the
jury The preliminary closing
argument of the state had preceded
Geisler's closing, and in this Assist
the jury to convict the physician.
The resting of the defense during
the morning session had been eff
fected with the defendant upon the
witness stand but nine minutes.
During this brief appearance in his
own defense, he was CALLED upon to
answer but a half dozen questions
and he left the witness stand with
out denying or mentioning the
crime charged to him.
The "Appleby wilP' which the
state has contended was the evil
dence of the motive for the Staying
was the chief subject upon which
Mcmillan was questioned by his
attorney. Although the twill" be-
gan with the words: 'Thia is the
expression of my last will-'the
doctor denied that it was will
and declared that it merely was a
document giving him the power of
attorney in his capacity as the slain
woman's business manager. He
testified it was dictated to him by
Mrs. Appleby in Duluth, Mimi,
when they were on an extended
motor trip.
The state earlier in the trial had
produced witnesses to testify that
the physician himself wrote and
signed the will and at that time
his counsel announced he would
stipulate that the defendant had so
forged it.
No direct denial of the charges
against the doctor had been made
by any defense witnesses when it
rested it's case this morning.
The states first brief closing arg
ument recalled to the jurors the
evidence introduced of threats and
violent .quarrels waged between the
elderly physician and his asserted
victim; of the discovery in his
apartment of the woman's jewelry
and clothing; of the will" admit
tedly written and signed by the de-
fendant, in which he was made sole
heir and executor of his victim S
estate, and pointed out an asserted
series of contradictions and con-
flictions in the story he told Off
