The expansion is shown by the fact that one 100 per cent owned subsidiary-— the Dixie Oil company—in 1927 alone acquired more than 105,000 acres of promising oil lands in the Mid-Continent, Texas and Louisiana ficids and — as reported to have leased 600,000 acres of virgin lanu in Mississippi counties. It organ- ized the Dixie Pipe Line company to operate in North Louisiana, snd completed a new refinery at Super- ior, La. wit: a capacity of 3,000 barrels of crude oil daily. __ The company is now planning; to install .dditional pipe line companies in the oil territories. Three Autos end Barn Destroyed Near Hague Three automobiles and a barn were totally destroyed when the barn, near Hague, was struck by lightning and burned about 6 p.m. Wednesday, a dispatch to the Tri- bune revealed today. The barn was the property of Mrs. Magda Weisbeck. Though the barn was partly cov- ered by insurance, the automobiles were not. Lightning struck the barn during a heavy downpour at Hague. The rain and fire-fighters saved a barn belonging to John Buchler, which stood three feet from the burning building, from destruction.

CALIFORNIA Speaks at Los Angeles City Hall and Then Turns to- ward Iowa BY JAMES L. WEST (Associated Press Staff Writer) Aboard Hoover Train, Aug. 17.— (#) — Herbert Hoover tarried for a while today in the southern part of his home state before heading east- ward for the supreme battle of a career that has carried him from a poor country boy's estate to a Re- publican presidential nomination. With little more than time to say Hail and Farewell to each, Hoover had arranged to visit six California cities between early morning and late evening, with one prepared ad- dress on the steps of the city hall in Los Angeles in response to the wel- come of Mayor G-orge E. Cryer, and the people of the city. Santa Barbara, one of the oldest and most beautiful of California cities claimed him first. After a reception in the southern metropolis, the nominee was to he d/ for Long Beach to be welcomed by| thousands of former Iowans, and to inspect the Pacific Southwest expo-| sition. Pasadena and San Bernardino ‘were the last points on the Califor-| nia itinerary, but there were many} stops beyond before the time fixed) for the arrival of the candidate’s special train at his birthplace at West Branch, Iowa, next Tuesday) morning in time for breakfast in the| modest little home where his early! childhood was spent. In Arizona tomorrow the Hoover special will detour to the Grand Can- yon so those sccompanying the! nominee may see that vast gift of nature to the scenic beauties of America. Hoover will spend the afternoon in conference with Republican lead- ers of the state who will seek to place it ir. the Re ublican column in November. SUBSUNK BY | REDS RAISED Skeletons of Crew Who Died in 1919 Baltic Battle Hon- ored by Sovict Leningrad, Aug. 17.—(AP)—Nine ears after baving been sunk in the jaltic, the British submarine L-55 has been raised, and the Soviet gov- ernment desires to bury the crew with appropriate military honors. “These were our enemies,” said R. A. Muklevich, commander of the Soviet fleet, “but the Red. seamen bear them no malice. These British sailors died while doing their duty.” The battle in which the L-55 was sunk took place on June 4, 1919, he said. The submarine attacked the Russian — destroyers Garvil and Azard. It fired three prrpedoes, all of which went wide of their mark. Then the submarine rose to the sur- face, and the Azard attacked the craft. A shot hit the L-55, an ex- plosion followed, and the submarine sank at once, with all her crew. j hands while his companions scooptd |up the money. He then identified a bone-handied pistol taken from Kelly’s wife, who is held in jail, ‘as one of those which the bank rob- bers used.

Weai:- ness Causes Initial Mar- ket Rise Chicago, Aug. 17.—(AP)—Canadi- lan unofficial crog estimates putting the prairie provinces’ yield ut 531,- 000,000 to 554,000,000 bushels led to late recessions in wheat values to- day. The Canadian government re- port will be given out tomorrow, but revious official reports have been br comment, and have received little attention. Export demand for wheat today was slow, and advances which at tines took place in future deliveries prices were difficult to maintain. Wheat closed irregular, %c net lower to %c advance, corn Ic off to %¢ up, oats %c to %c down, and provisions varying from 5c to 7 setback to a rise of 35¢. Special attention was given by many wheat traders today to a stace- ment from the president of one of the largest grain companies in Chi- cago that the difference in world supplies of wheat this year and last is not so great as to justify any ma- terial price change from last year’s average level. He attacked ideas that there is a tremendous world crop, and that wheat should seek an extremely low level. Friends of higher prices for wheat pointed out that Chicago quotations today were “25e to 29c a bushel lower than a year ago. It was asserted in this connection that wheat has reached a level at which it would be oe to press the selling side in hope of any very materi September corn acted rather tight, and while lower early, rallied to coverings and support from local bulls. The cash situation was a fac- tor, and leading holders were re- as saying they had sold all the cash grain they cared to at last night’s level.

Early gains of to 9 points were substantially reduced, many of them being cut in half, in the mid- day selling movement. Trading, which had been extremely active in the rally turned dull on the decline. Call money renewed at 5 per cent, advanced to & 1-2 and thence to é as banks called $40,000,000 in loans. Time money and commercial paper rates held fairly steady. Fears of an increase in the Chicago federal reserve bank rate proved to be un- founded,’ as the charge was con- ine at 5 per cent for another ‘week. While the sharp decrease in brokers’ loans and rediscounts had & bullish effect on speculative senti- thent, official intimationn that the low ‘call money rates yesterday were “artificial” stimulated liquidation on e part of cautious traders.
