The trend away from outdoor motion

years ago not only squeezed out Art
Accord. who was buried yesterday a
suicide in Chihuahua City, Mexico, but
nearly every other old-time Western
star as well.
BY one rleans or another, most of

Accord was less fortunate than some

Tom Mix, Buck Jones and others.
Reported to have been without funds,
Accord left here for Mexico hoping to
recoup his fortune. Westerns returned

as it did on sound stage.
In the last year the production OF

CHICAGO, January IA romance
of big business, in which one Of the
fondest dreams of the late j. Ogden
Armour came true, was revealed today
with the announcement that the con-
trolling interest of the Universal Oil
Products Co. had been sold for $25,-
coo, 900. of which $S,216,058 went to
Armour's widow, Mrs. Lolita Sheldon
Armour.
The Shell Union Oil Co. and the
Standard Oil Co. of California were
the purchasers The deal involved 1000
shares of the Universal company, which
sponsored the Dubbs oil cracking proc
ess, in which Mr.. Armour invested
81, oo0, 600 to 81, 5000 He always had
faith that it would yield profit, but
he died in London without knowing
the dream being realized. q
Estate Closed Year Ago.
Mrs. Armour received her share of
the purchase price for 400 shares of
stock in the Universal company, which
was a part of her husbands estate and
which his creditors at one time had
refused to accept as a valuable asset.
The stock was given to her by Armour
as security for loan of 100000 she
made him in 1925. Armour was the
founder OF the universal concern anu
it was announced that the company will
be headed by H. j. Halle of New York.
who was made its president by Armour
in 1921.
A year ago the Armour estate was
closed in Probate Court, showing an
insolvency of $1,S05 900, which was
sad contrast to the $150,000,000 Armour
was reputed to have been worth IN
moneyed war times.
Romance Began in 1909.
The beginning of the romance was
back in 1909 in dinky chemical lab
oratory in a small oil field in Penn
sylvania, where Jesse A. Dubbs had
been experimenting with means OF
producing gasoline from crude oil by
the cracking process. He went to Cali
forr1ia, and a few oil company heads
into whose ofices he talked his way
paid him scant attention. One even
went 50 far as to say he thought ne

Farmers in Medicine Lake
Territory are in Legal Mess

There are a large number of
farmers in the Medicine Lake
territory who are in for a mess
of legal difficulties.
An action has been commenced in
District Court here wherein the Van
Dusen Harrington Elevator Company
is the plaintiff and forty-two farmers
and former residents of the Medicine
Lake country have been made defen-
dants, and and complaints
are being served by the sheriff on all
of these defendants which can be
found now.
1t is based on a note signed by
these farmers for the old Farmers FL
evator company Of Medicine Lake for
the purpose of obtaining credit for
that concern. This note was signed
some time before the world war COM
menced, and years have gone by since
the elevator was foreclosed on and Ia
ken over by others, but there was de-
ficiency judgment which now is sup
posed to amount to more than $15,-
900 and the collection of same by suit
is being sought through this action.
This is surely tough lines for these
farmers. They are determined to fight

Donald Hopkins who lives in the

AS soon as this transgression had
been disposed of, he was ~re-arrested

owners move to Raymond for the win

1t is claimed that after he had
paid his fine for the first offense he
had told friends in Plentywood that
he had some furniture in his home
that did not not belong to him and
that he was going to replace it where
it belonged, but before this happened
he was arrested for this offense.
He will be arraigned in District

Pledge TO SUPPORT
REFERENDUM NO. s.

CULBERTSON March % - The
Culbertson Commercial Club tonight
went on record pledging the support
of that body to Referendum No. 35
which will be submitted to the voters
of the state at the special election on
May 9TH. This measure, if favorab]y
received, will enact the gas tax de-
bentures which will insure the COM
pletion of Montana's vast road pro-
gram within the next four years.
In addition to sponsoring the refer
endum the membership of the club
voted at tonight's meeting to take
care of all %incidentals and expenses
in connection with the election in
Culbertson's three voting precincts.
Practically insuring, as it will, COM
pletion of the many federal aid road
projects within the next four years,
al i making use Of all of the federal
aid money put aside for the state, the
measure will receive the hearty en-
dorsement of this entire section. Were
actual construction of the projects to
wait until the money was made av-
ailable under the present collection of
the five-cent gas tax, much of the
federal aid money would be lost there
by stretching out the period of road
completion many years into the fu-
ture and with the possible curtailment
of some of the projects contemplate
ed. Montana's federal road-dollar will
never be larger, meaning at this time
1924 in actual road construction.
Realizing all of the above and that
failure at this time to take advantage
of the anticipated tax debentures
would mean irreparable loss and de-
lay to the states future road building
program, voters of this entire section
will favor the tax measure with a
large Observation-Disclosures Search
light.

for Volunteers
for Blood TRANSMISSION
al the Local hOSfita|

There is a mother of eight lit
tie children whose life is slowly
ebbing away at the Plentywood
Memorial Hospital, and her life
may be possibly saved if someone
will contribute to her a pint. of
their life blood. She must under
go an operation and is too weak
to stand this unless she can be
given this life blood to build her
up. Her husband would gladly give
his blood but it does not match,
and as she has no other relatives
that can help, this appeal is be-
ing asked through the Herald
for someone to volunteer for this
act of saving a life.
This is a charity case and no one
will receive any monetary cOm-
%pensati0n, but whoever does this
noble act will know that through
his or her efforts, this mothers
life may be saved.
Applicants should be between
the ages of Is and as years and
should be strong and healthy.
Anyone who is wiling to give a
pint of their blood to save this
mother should report to DR.. Hall
who will test the blood to see if
it will match.

wishes to keep expenses down to the
minimum and would like to get Off
Gals to act without pay wherever
possible, as otherwise this money will
haveto come out of the road fund.
There will be little trouble in many
precincts over this matter, but in
others the officials may want full pay.
1t will be an easy matter to tabulate
the votes this time as it will be only
the one small ticket and the yes and
no votes a be counted very fast.

DR.. S7ORKAN AGAIN
files FOR MAYOR.

DIR. j. c. Storkan has filed as a
candidate for reelection as Mayor
of Plentywood, and in an inter-
view with The Herald relative to
his intended future program as
head of the city government of
PlentywoOd he made the follow
ing statement.
II have filed as candidate for May
or of the City of Plentywood, provid-
ed a council is elected to put in force
the following conditions:
"Q) Mayor and councilmen to
work for the city free of charge; the
judges and clerks of city elections to
volunteer their work-this to be a
saving of about $525 per year to the
city.
"(2) Running expenses of city to
be reduced $1,000 less than 1880.
"(3) Levy to remain same (32
mills, and reduction of city indebted
ness will be $4,000 per year. With full
cooperation of all taxpayers this
could be reduced $4,000 in two years
time, or down to $20,0 00.
Indebtedness May 1929, s47,456.OO;
May 1881 s35,50O.
May 1888 10000.
go Start of a municipal light
plant at first not to exceed $4,000. If
electricity can be generated and dis
tributed for 4c per XVIII / believe a
small plant should be started to prove
this. Why should the city of Plenty
wood have to pay five, eight, or
twelve cents per XVIII when it al
be generated and distributed for four
cents; especially when we are not re-
ceiving a just tax on the present val
ue of the system.
"(5) Extension of water mains to
make water available to everybody.
If number of water users are doubled
the rates to be cut in half or in pro-
portion to increase in number of US
ers.
"(6) Establishment of White Way
the full extent of First Avenue"
His program for the continued re-
duction of the city indebtedness can
be carried out if the council will stick
by him, as they have in the past two
years which amounted to about $12,-
900.
Everyone must admit that Mayor
Storkan's pet hobby is to make Plen-
tywood debt free, and also to make
it a city where people will be glad to
make their permanent home.
