his secretary Of agriculture Wallace.
Secretary Wallace in his report gave
the following rs chief features of his
program:
Creation Of an export corporation
TO buy surplus wheat and market it
abroad, any loss incurred to be as
Iscssed against the entire crop Of the
following season.
a temporary reduction in freight
rates Of - per cent.
Creation Of commission to study
freight rates with a view to re-
adjustment relieving the farmer of un-
due burdens.
Reduction in wheat acreage and dl-
verSitiCatIon of crops by the farmer.
Reduction in taxes by the states on
farm lands.
Secretary Wallace holds that the
sale or gift of substantial part of
our surplus wheat to countries which
are not able to buy, and which would,
therefore, take it out of the ordinary
channels Of trade and competition,
would unquestlouably have helpful
effect upon domestic prices of wheat,
provided larger tariff protection were
given.

Coolidge and Wallace Differ on Wheat

on the program for agricultural
relief The difference OF opinion was
brought out prominently when Secre-
.qry Wallace, in the face of the Pres
dents recommendations on the sub

report on the wheat situation in
which he advocated the creation of n
goyenment export corporation to buy
surplus wheat and market 1t abroad.
President Coolidge, who was well in
formed In advance of Secretary Wal
Aces proposal, did see fit to recon-

number of pigs which sow will save
depends very largely upon her being
quiet when she farrows. If she is not
given chance to become accustomed
to her quarters before she is due to
farrow, she may be very restless and
discontented, constantly getting up

sows are placed in new quarters just
before narrowing, she may break out
and go back to the place she has been
quartered to make her bed and farrow

SAFETY CLOTHES FOR WALKERS
Shades To Wear That Can Easily Be
 Been By Motor Car Drivers

A London newspaper rejoices in "Medical correspondent" who refers to those who still have the hardihood to take walking exercises as the quick and the dead," and he acknowledged that it is becoming more and more difficult to go for a stroll and return with sound limbs. This unhappy condition of af- fairs is owing to motor cars, but the Medical correspondent sees way of preserving walking exercise by the adoption of certain methods which he puts forth in all seriousness.
 First and most important to the man who does not wish to be killed by a. chauffeur is the color of the pedestrian's clothes. Many of the walking suits worn on highways are quite invisible at "safe" distances-safe distances be- ing those which allow the driver of a fast car time to avoid catastrophe. It iR stated by chauffeurs that they do not zee a pedestrian until they run over him.
 Dust colored clothes or field gray shades are specially to be avoided by walkers, but navy blue is easily dis eerned and the medical adviser recom- mends it for safety. What is true as to color of garments is equally true as to color of cars. The brown or dun col ored car is a real source of danger be- cause it is not easily seen." It is not visible until close at hand. whereas blue, black and claret colored cars burst upon the vision afar off. Motor cars of

 "If you speed up as he comes along side, thereby preventing him from either passing you or again dropping to the rear, you are putting in jeopardy his life and property and the, lives of his passengers at the same time you are taking your own life in your hands, and threatening the lives of the approach ing motorists, situation that can easily result in serious accident.
 Another dangerous habit of many drivers is that of passing ar attempting to pass the car ahead on crowded high ways, on curves, or near the brow of a hill. In these three instances either your movement is hampered by short spaces of your view of the road ahead is limited. The element of doubt is so strong that the odds are too greatly against you to make the risk in any way safe. Don't do it."

COOPER NEAR
 | BEING CHAMPION
Turkey Day Race At Los
 Angeles Will Decide

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Nov. 4.-Earl Cooper, by taking second place at the opening 25O-mile classic at the new Speedway here, is within 355 points of the national championship of the Amer ican Automobile association for 1924.
 One more sanctioned race remains to be driven, at Los Angeles, Cal, on No vember 27. The winner of that race will add 500 points to his score. The driver coming in second will get 26O points and 40 points are awarded for third.
 Thus, if Cooper can drive the swift Studebaker Special with which he has won all his points thus far, fast enough to win this race he will become, for the third time in his career, the crowned speed king of the year. No other living driver has achieved such a record.
 Cooper's standing now is l,24O. Jimmy Murphy, at time of his death at Syracuse, N. r., had won 1,595 points, which remains the high score. At that time it was believed no other driver had which Murphy had established.
 But when, on September 21, Cooper married Mrs. Jane Bailey of Troy, N. l tuc 6AAA WhO SAASu WASA~ he lost the Indianapolis race in July, she said:
 q will be Earrs mascot. He will win the championship this year"
 The next race run was at Fresno, Cal, October 2. Cooper won it, hands down. Charlotte. was the scene of his second race since the wedding. He won second. His mascot's presence in the grand stand seemed to impart magic to his driving. He led the field from the 12th to the 66th lap, when he went into the pits. At the 13Sth lap he again took the lead according to the score board, and apparently never again was headed. But recheck of time and laps gave him second.
 He made the 172nd lap, of mile and a fourth, at the rate of 124.6 miles an hour, but waving handkerchief in Mrs. Cooper's box cautioned him and he
