DRASTIC CRUISER
REDUCTION SEEN
Conversations Between U. S.
and Great Britain May
Lower Geneva Program.

An even more drastic reduction in the
cruiser strength of Great Britain and
the United States than that contem-
plated at the Geneva conference of 1927
may result from the naval limitations
conversations now going on between
Prime Minister Macdonald of Great
Britain and Ambassador Dawes, 1t was
suggested In official circles here last
night.
A conference was held at the White
House yesterday between President
Hoover and officials of the Navy for the
purpose Of acquainting all of the in
terested officials with the situation in
volving naval armament to date.
Naval Experts Prepare.
While the State Department officials
have been considering mainly the pres
| ent DaWeS-MacDonald negotiations, the
naval experts have been studying all
| feasible points to prepare for a possible
naval parley of the five interested
powers, United States, England, France,
| Italy, and Japan.
The Chief Executive is known to hold
the view that careful preparation is
essention before this country would
enter a flve-power conference. There
have been reports current in Washing
ton that such q parley was likely to be
held in December, probably in London.
The Presidents conference also has
given rise to the opinion he is hope
full for an agreement between Dawes
| and Macdonald on the major political
aspects of the situation as far as Ameri-
ca and England are concerned within
| q few weeks.
Cruiser Problem Paramount.
Authoritative sources last night ex-
pressed the belief the question of
cruisers will be dealt with first in the
| discussions by the United States and
England to the exclusion Of other war
ship categories, such as destroyers and
submarines. The feeling here Is that a
settlement of the cruiser problem Is the
paramount necessity in the securing of
basic agreement between the two
powers and that its settlement will
leave an agreement on submarines and
destroyers only as matter of course.
So far, the negotiations have been oc-
cupied principally with settlement of
the cruiser question and the fact that
| the Naval General Board today was tax
ing up the question Of submarines.
mainly from technical viewpoint, was
interpreted In some quarters as an in
dication that the cruiser problem is
rapidly approaching settlement.

TEN YEAR GAIN SHOWS
HIGH AVERAGE YIELD.
Only Kansas Tops Treasure State
In Composite Figures
For 1928.

All crops in Montana averaged 29.3
per cent higher than the combined
lO-year average yields of these crops,
the state department of agriculture
finds in preparing for its Forthcoming
issue of the Farm Review.
The 1927 yields, on the same basis
of comparison, were 57.2 per cent
above average.
While Montana in 1927 led all states
IN composite yields of all crops, in
1928 the record was beaten only by
Kansas, where the composite yield
was S30.9 per cent above average, the
department points out.
States surrounding Montana failed
to approach this 1928 record, except
North Dakota, where the composite
yield was 22.2 per cent above average.
Washington and Idaho yields were
above average, while those of Wyo-
ming and South Dakota fell below.
Nationally, in 1923, there wer- 81
states where composite yields of all
crops were above average as COM

Artie had been in a fighting humor
all day and had taken out his spite
on young Mr.. Hall, who had loIled
at his desk throughout the after
noon, writing long letter to chum
who was at college,
"Who is he-one of those rah-ral
boys with the wide pants?" asked Ar
tie when young Mr.. Hall first spoke
of the "chum."
He's mighty fine fellow" re-
sponded young Mr.. Hall, stiffly. He
had attended the college himself and
he did not like the reference to "rah-

I'll bet he's one o. them saucy

Young Mr.. Hall, after filling the
first page of his letter, had begun
writing on the fourth page He paid
no attention to Artie's sarcasm.
After he had loaded the last page
he opened the sheet and began inside,
writing crosswise on the paper.
Artie, who had been watching with
cold disgust said: when your old
college chum gets that letter it'll keep
him guessin' how to follow the plot

I WAS not strange thing, after all
the growing friendship between
Miller and Artie.
There is common theory. and a
theory at best, that birds of fea-
Their flock together" and this may
mean that the human being selects for
his companions the people who are
much like himself in tastes. habits and
aspirations.
Miller and Artie got along famous
ly together. Miller was the listener
and Artie was the entertainer. Miller
read books and Artie read the town.
Miller secretly believed that Artie
was superficial young man with
grudge at the English language, but
he had to admire his candor and his
worldly eleverness. Artie liked Miller
because he was font of sympathy
and accepted a confidence in a serious
way.
Miller knew only one kind of peo-
pie; Artie had acquaintance in every
layer of society, excepting the one
that was familiar with grand OPERA
Artie's casual reflections on matters
about town were so many revelations
to Miller, whose ignorance, considering
that he belonged to club and had
library of his own. was appalling.
Artie's ordinary experiences were
thrilling adventures and Artie's love
affairs, and the briskness with which
they were conducted, amazed and in
terested him.
Miller had always lacked the resolu-
ton to have any love affairs of his
own.
At the close of an unusually dull
day in the office Miller and Artie went
to new place" to eat. II was a
rare week when Artie could not find
a new restaurant. and he was espe.
