S. Department of Agriculture, regarding the world wheat situation. I Much of the conference was ex ■ ported to deal with the need tor adjustment by farmers in Indiana. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, and Kentucky. Extension directors, directors of experiment stations, economist., agronomists and editors, were in- ’ cited to the meeting according to Director of Extension C. W. War--1 burton, of Washington. The wheat situation in the soft ! winter wheat belt and the changes 1 that are desirable in the plans for ' fall seeding by farmers will be dis ' cussed by speakers from the depart--1 meat of agriculture and the states he said. This conference will be prelimin--1 ary to meetings of farmers to be held by extension agencies at which the wheat outlook will be dismissed 1 in relation to the local problems of each county. A report from Washington today said the long-time outlook for wheat ' and the present foreign and domes--1 tic market situation indicate that growers should carefully consider he increasing competition in the world wheat markets and the pro- ' liability of lower prices during the next few years. Low wheat prices, such as those '. recently prevailing, will cause a contraction of acreage in some parts >f the world, according to the department economists, but the trends J of wheat acreage and production in the past few years, indicate that expansion is likely to continue in many countries, even at prices lower than the average of the past seven years. It was urged that attention be given to the possibility of reducing production cos’s as one of the means of meeting competition. Pardon Board Meets State Prison, Michigan City.

TIGER OF FRANCE LEAVESVACE TO ARIZONA TOWN Clemenceau Citizens Will Build Special Cabinet for Valued Gift Pho- nix. Aril., July 31 (U.R) In a sunblistered town of Arizona, composed of a. grotesque smeltering works and a cluster of adobe houses, and isolated from the world save by one road and a small , railroad line, there soon will stand ■ in a special cabin t where they all i may gaze upon it, a lilac-covered vase bequeated to the town by one of the most famous statesmen which France has given to the 1 1 world —Georges Clemenceau. i The town to be so signally hon- ' med is Clemenceau, Arizona, postoffice and tailroad station in Yavapai county, a community recently established through a decision of the United States Geographic board. The town of Clemenceau, formerly known as Verde, was so named in honor of the distinguished ' Tiger of France” by his life lone friend. J. S. Douglas, president of the United Verde Extension I Mining Company and father of • Congressman Lewis Douglas. The elder Douglas and Clemen- • ceau kept close contact for many ' years and the Arizonian visited the j "tiger" only a month before the ' latter's death in Vendee, France, j Wien the will of Clemenceau I was made puhl.c, a clause was revealed which read to the effect I I that he had left to the Arizona 1 town bearing his name " a vase del signed by Chaplet in a light lilac color which will be found on the shall above the mirror in my ’ study.” CONCRETE ROAD DATA COLLECTED ; BY GOVERNMENT r Experimental Slabs Will Be Viewed by Enginers From Over World 1 ' Washington, July 31 —(UP)--I Tests on the relative efficiency of . concrete pavements and the amount of stress that is placed on pave- , ment slabs resulting from loads ap- ( plied to them, are being prepared bv , the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agriculture department. For theoe tests, the department is constructing numerous fullsize ■ pavement slabs at the Experimental Farm at Arlington. Virginia. Some slabs, which will be of uniI form thickness throughout, will be ' used to determine the relation beI tween loads at various points and the strain of the concrete at all points in the loaded cross section, ! and others, thickened at the edges and for a certain distance from the edges, will be used to obtain information on the relative load-resist-ing properties of designs now in ’ use in various states. The slabs • i will be 20 feet wide by 40 feet long 1 and will have central longitudinal ' and transverse joints. The tests will be under way in ' October when they may be observed by engineers from all parts of ■ the world who will be in Washing- ! ton from October 6 to 11 to attend ' the Sixth International Road Congress, to be held in this country at the invitation of the United States government. o Chalmer Porter attended to business in Fort Wayne.

/ ■ I g gg W* INDIANSTRIM CINCINNATI Indianapolis, Ind., July 31 —Dan , Howley and his Cincinnati Reds to day were included among the opi ponents on night baseball. The Reds, first Major League club I ever to appear in a night game, made six errors in their exhibition I with the Indianapolis American Association team at Washington . park last night, and lost the game, 17 to 5. Both teams made 15 hits, but the Indians bunched their blows with Cincinati errors to score 8 runs in the seventh and six more in the eighth. Tom Angley, Indianapolis catcher was the hitting star of the game with 5 hits in as many trips to the plate. Most of the Big League.s found hitting difficult, Cucinnello • Dressen and Durocher being the 1 only Reds to lilt in their accustom-1 ■ ed style. i "The chief reason it won't be a ■ success is that Major League fans ; i demand Major League baseball and I you can't play the big time gam° when you can’t see the ball half the . time," Howley said after the game. | Lena Styles,, veteran catcher, said I , he did not see half the low balls . that were thrown at him. I Score by innings. iCincinnati Oil 100 100 — 5-15-6 Indianapolis 200 001 86x —l7-15-2 i ♦ ♦ | BASEBALL BRIEFS . t —♦ (By United Press) Idle again for the second straight day, the Chicago Cubs faced tile | possibility of losing more ground in the National league pennant race.
