PROFESSOR TO SERVE COUNTRY AS WHEAT CZAR Montanan. Long Close to Soil, Will Be Named by Roosevelt. By T nitrd Pro* WASHINGTON. May .12—The man who is expected soon to have virtual supervision over the economic destiny of millions of wheat larmers Is a college professor who, although he always has been close to the soil, has a heritage of artistic accomplishment. Dr Milburn Lincoln Wilson, 48, of Montana State college, is a tinkerer with ideas as well as with farm machinery. He is expected to be named temporary wheat administrator under terms of the farm relief act. He comes to the position with a broad background of practical experience Wilson wants to be known as a "graduated” county agricultural agent, a farmer, a homesteader and a pioneer of the "amber fields of grain,” rather than as an instructor. Starts as Homesteader He disclaims any connection with the so-called Roosevelt "brain trust,” although he was Mr. Roosevelt's campaign manager for farm relief. His birthplace was an lowa farm, but from his mother, who. despite her arduous duties as a rural school teacher and farm wife, was a trained musician and painter, he derives something of the dreamer’s qualities. Long before his wiry, constantly rumpled hair had turned toward its present iron gray, and before his blue-gray eves began to border with wrinkles. Wilson went to Montana. He had sold a small farm in Nebraska and Montana represented a "real frontier.” He was a homesteader and experimental farmer, becoming the state s first county agent and "running all over the country in a dirty little Ford.” Writes on Farm Subjects Wilson went to the University of Wisconsin for his master's degree, and has written a number of books and pamphlets on farm subjects. One has to do with the best methods of hitching and driving teams, and cites the instance of a farmer who achieved great results by popping his horsps in the posterior with pellets from an air rifle. Dr. Wilson plans to remain in Washington only until he can complete assimilation of various functions bearing on administration of the farm relief act as it pertains to wheat. Then he will fold up his colorlessrim spectacles, stick them in a pocket of his sack suit and turn his work over to another. Dry, Against ‘Jazz Age’ Wilson's home is in Bozeman. His wife is a former school teacher. They have two children. His pet theories are land utilization, land planning, decentralization of industry, the breaking up of cities, and the redistribution of urban and rural populations. To which, he adds, in his loud, deliberate voice: "I'm a deeply religious man. I'm a broadminded Unitarian. I'm a dry. I’m against the jazz age.” AIRWAY BUSINESS GAINS American Line.

PARIS TO RIP UP LANDMARKS FOR AVENUES Nothing to Stand in Way of Improvements to Relieve Traffic. By I nitrd Prrs PARIS, May 12.—Despite the sentiment that is associated with many ancient landmarks here, nothing seems to move the city fathers when a question of civic progress is at hand. In a short time workmen will be demolishing buildings of all ages to join the Avenue Victor Emmanuel with the Rue de Courcelles. This new and wide thoroughfare will be called the Avenue Myron Herrick. America's famous war ambassador will thus be in the minds of Frenchmen perhaps for centuries to come, for these new avenues and boulevards are built to last.. Another building operation which
