 NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The stock market graph for 1929 will look like a church steeple.
 The pinnacle will represent the memorable third week in September when the average price Of com mon stocks reached their high level for all time.
 Starting with February, 1928, it took the stock list 19 months of laborious climbing to hit the top. Scarcely a fortnight was needed, once the debacle got under way, to carry prices back to their level of February, 1928.
 At the beginning of 1927 the three principal classes of stocks-rails industrials and public utilities-got away to a fairly even start They were slightly above the average for 1926, but no higher than they

 Railroad Dispute
PROTOCOL SIGNED
 IN SIBERIAN TOWN
Soviet Government Re- gards U. s. Peace
 Move, Unfriendly

NEW YORK, Dec. 4 = Moscow made her own peace with Mukden over the Chinese Eastern Railway dispute in Manchuria yesterday and also rebuffed the nations seek ing the same end by reminding both Russia and China of their obligations under the Kellogg anti war pact.
 Dispatches via London told of the signing of the protocol at the Si- berian town of Nikolsk- -Hussuriisky.
 Under the terms, joint control of the srailway will be restored in accordance with the treaties of 1924.
 Russia withdraws from insistence that the former Russian General Manager and Assistant Manager of the road be reinstated but reserved the right to appoint them to other positions.
 Surprise at U. $. Action
 The Soviet Government, in a note handed French Ambassador Herbette, in Moscow, said it could not regard as a friendly act, the American note with reference to the Kellogg pact and stated that the note constituted "an unjustified attempt" to influence the Chinese Russian negotiations, coming as it did when these were already in progress, and surprise was express cd that the United States, which refrained from official relations with the Soviet Union, should have undertaken to give advice and di- rections."
 The agreement as negotiated by by the Mukden Government will presumably be accepted by the Ranking Government since the Provincial authorities had quasi authority to negotiate it and since the protocol appeared to fulfill conditions imposed by Nanking.

one of those hearty breezes of the wide open spaces that have played so important part in his life.
 Just under 50 now, the assistant secretary of war was born in the Choctaw nation, Indian Territory. He roamed the plains as a cow puncher; took a fling at. mining, and at 25 became an attorney in Tulsa, okla, where he has lived since.
 He carries his six feet odd with an erectness that testifies to his active life. He is easily one of the handsomest men in Washington public life.
 An ability to make people like him, and to listen attentively and courteously to the troubles of any one in his department-be the trou- bled one of high. low or intermedi- ate rank-are commented upon as facets of his character brought out OurlHB Illo tSllu4t do eioSloJdilt scC- retary of war.

President Presents Budget and Financial Statement
 Recommendations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Presi- dent Hoover laid before Congress 8 maze of figures on which he based his recommendations in favor of tax reduction and his request for $3, 3,830,0000 900 for the use of the Government next year.
 A bright picture of the state of the Nations finances is drawn from the history of lowering taxes in the past. The President said there is now no doubt but that increased revenues have always followed and have been partly due to the stimu- Jus given business through tax re- auctions. The upward jump of the Governments receipts have been ir- refutsble evidences of growing pros- perity They have uniformly been greater than estimated in messages.
 The first budget submitted by the President estimated the Treasury's outlay for twelve months beginning next July 1 at $4,103,000,000 and estimated that there would be a $122 .G000G0 surplus during that period. The difference between the appropriations asked and the expenditures forccasted i3 explained as being due to the fact that the President has not included any amount for a revolving fund for the Federal Farm Board because it had been undetermined how much would be necessary.

And so he spent his time tinkering in his machine shop, rather than escort society girls, who did not mean a thing to him, to parties that he hated. And when the elderly butler acted as an unwilling cupid and hired the pretty Norwegian cham bermaid, William has declared that he knew at once that he had found his ideal.

It is not known whether Willock seniors check for $1,000 is a present or final gesture.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Agricul- ture faces the danger of farm com munities being divided agains t themselves, L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange, declared in a warning to the Seattle convention.
 The progress made in coopera- tive marketing, and the assistance of. the government and other agen- cies in developing commodity or ganizaticns, threaten disaster to rural community life by dividing communities along commodity lines.
 When community life and well fare are lost sight of and neigh borhood is thought of in terms of its various commodities. discord will develop and unified agriculture will become impossible"

had been for a few weeks in the fall of that year.
 Toward the middle of the year industrials broke away and took at slight lead over rails and utilities It seems almost like ancient his- tory to record that utilities, which were destined to achieve an as- founding popularity in less than two years, Jagged behind both rails and utilities until after the middle of 1927.
 Utilities passed the rails on an upward swing in the third quar- ter of 1927 and began to creep up on the soaring industrials. It was not until the end of 1928, however, that utilities came abreast and 0y that time the average prices of both rails and utilities were almost twice what they had been at the beginning Of 1927
 In the second quarter of 1929 utilities leaped ahead of industriais in the speed of their advance and began the last dizzy climb that was to end catastrophically.
 Tn June of this year both rails and industrials felt the violent up- ward pull of the public utility group but even at their highest points were far short of the point of the steeple on which the utilities perched.
