]. I. KELLY DROPS
FARM UNION POST
At MONDAY MEET
Accepts Senate Decision On
State Appointment
AS Final

John t. Kelly of Castagne,
prominent Montana farm leader
and widely-known Carbon county
man, resigned as president of the
Montana Farmers union, a post
he has held since 1924, according
to an announcement at Billings
Monday.
Kelly's resignation followed a
week of hectic voting in the state
senate where a week ago Monday
Governor F. H. Cooney announced
his appointment of Kelly to the
post of state commissioner of ag-
riculture. Governor Cooney held
that, although the post was al
ready occupied by A. H. Stafford,
a vacancy existed because Stat
ford's appointment by former
Gov. J. E. Erickson had not been
confirmed.
The governors action created
an issue which is still hanging
fire, although the senate Friday
night blocked further consider
alton of the Erickson appointee,
whose appointment VISA once con-
firmed by the upper body and
then taken back for reconsider
alton. At the same time it decis-
lively rejected Kelly's bid for the
important state post. Several OF
the numerous votes taken by the
senate saw a one-vote margin sep
arating the opposing sides on var
ious phases of the controversy.
In announcing his resignation
as head of the state farm union,
Kelly stated that pressure of his
business and farming activities
forced his retirement from the
presidency. He further stated that,
despite reports to the contrary, he
does not look for further action in
regard to his appointment as COM
missioner of agriculture, stating
that the issue was over where he
was concerned when the senate
declined to reconsider his appoint
ment. William Allard of Terry
was elected to fill the presidency
of the Montana Farmers union.
Commenting further on the
state senate issue, Mr.. Kelly said
it was his understanding that
Stafford plans court action to es-
tablish validity of his appoint
ment. The senate, however, seems
to have ousted both appointees,
and Tuesday it was announced
that the name of another prom
inent leader in the Montana Far
mers union, A. E. Cathan of
Brady, was put before Gov. Cooney
for consideration of appointment
to the office.
Governor Cooney Tuesday sub
mitted the name of Robert j.
Kelly to the senate for confirma-
ton to the state agricultural COM
missionership.
Kelly, who is we'll known in Red
Lodge as a former wire chief with
the Mountain States Telephone
company here, will continue to en-
gage himself in activities of the
farmers throughout the state and
county. He will continue as a di-
rector in the Farmers Union Live
stock company and the Farmers
Union Terminal association, both
of st. Paul, and other bodies of
the national organization.

Oil Producers
Earn More

While. profits Of the majority
of petroleum corporations in the
first half-year. fell considerably
short Of returns that would
have been experienced under
more normal trade conditions,
they represented a striking inn
provement as compared with the
first half of 1888, observes the
Standard Statistics Company, OF
New York. .
A. total of Ia oil companies, in
Guiding all the more important
units which have issued half
year returns, reported aggregate
net income Of SCI 1857 ,1O2 for the
first six months Of 1884, as com.
pared with q deficit Of $31.7l6,-
1877 for the similar period OF
1888.
Prices of gasoline and other
refined products, however. were
unsatisfactory as compared with
crude oil costs. Some improve
ment in gasoline prices occurred
late in the spring, and third
quarter results should show a,
good increase as compared with
the April-June period, particu-
Iarly in view Of seasonally heavy
gallonage sales. Comparisons
with the abnOrmally profitable
third quarter of 1888 may be UNI
favorable, bat probably less so
than for industry generally.

Action of the United States

COTTON PRICES
TURN LOWER

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 G.N.S0.
The cotton market turned to the
reactionary side today.
The market showed initial de-
clines of from S to 9 points, re-
flecting in part the 2 to 6-polnt
setback below prices in the Liver
pool trading. After the first call,
however, dealings tapered off,
most contracts holding within a
limited price range thereafter.
There was a moderate volume
of hedge and Southern selling,
which bulked with offerings by
local and professional traders to
more than outweigh trade price
fixing and buying, by brokers, who
usually act for japanese interests.
The weather report indicated
that showers in the cotton belt
were limited to the Southern por-
ton of the Eastern belt and the
gulf coast area. The Weather Blu
reau advised that the tropical
storm was about ITS miles south
of Galveston and was apparently
moving south or southeast, away
from the belt
Declines late in the forenoon
ranged from to 9 points, with
October off 8 at 1915, December
off 7 at 1928, March off 8 at
1897, May off 9 at 1874, and July
off 8 at 1880.

FARM PROFIT. UP
10 PER: CENT

Farm income for. 1884 will eX'
coed 1888 by about 10 per cent,
Donald Richberg reported yester-
day to the President in his second
glowing account of the recovery
program.
He found the seven basic farm
commodities had been valued In
March, 1888, at but 81 per cent Of
their pre.war level, compared with
116 per cent at present, including
the effect of benefit payments.
However, he said, a considerable
part of the increase was caused by
short crops, due to drought. The
higher prices will be offset by the
smaller crops, he explained.
The report was the second OF d
series dealing with New Deal agen-
eies. They already have been
sharply criticized by Republican
foes as campaign material. Henry
P. Fletcher, G. o. P. committee
chairman, declared Richberg mis-
represented facts regarding bust
ness improvement.
AS director of the Presidents
Emergency Council Richberg called
in AAA chiefs to summarize activ-
tiles toward increasing farmers
purchasing nower and providing
a complete and coordinated credit
system. -
He reported wheat advanced
from 80 per cent of pre-war prices
in March last year to Ill per cent:
corn, 80 to ia; cotton, 49 to- 107:
hogs, A to "a: butter. II to 80;
tobacco, rice and five other basic
commodities 81 to SO, Ind all
groups, so to IS.

CORNSTRENGTH
RALLIES GRAINS

CHICAGO, Aug. 80 G.N.S).-
Further strength in corn prices
rallied other grains after a weak
opening today. Lower cables,
easiness in stocks and a decline
in cotton prices contributed to the
uncertain tone in wheat during
early trading and prices receded
nearly a cent.
Corn, while following the action
of the market leader was off only
about u cent at the low and sub
sequently rallied to show a gain
of nearly a like amount.
Trading was relatively light and
was decidedly mixed.
Near midosession wheat was I'm.
changed to 18c off, corn 1sc down
to 1sc up, oats IS to 12c higher
and rye unchanged to 3sc up.
