BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 5.-Prime Min
ister Ramsay Macdonald remains head
of the British government in the new
cabinet, with Stanley Baldwin lord
president of the council and Neville
Chamberlain as chancellor of the ex-
chequer succeeding Philip Snowden.
The cabinet list was announced at
No. 10 Downing street this evening.
Sir John Simon. one of the country's
greatest lawyers and leaders of one wing
of the Liberal party which broke away
from David Lloyd George, is foreign
secretary
Mr.. Snowden, who retired as chan
cellor of the exchequer largely because
Of his failing health, remains in the
cabinet at Lord Privy Seal.
He succeeds Lord Sankey who held
that post In the emergency national
cabinet and who becomes Lord Chan
cellor in the new cabinet.
Sir Samuel Hoare, Conservative, IS
secretary of state for India and Sir
Herbert Samuel, leader of another sec
ton of the disrupted Liberal party, Is
home secretary.
j. H. Thomas, elected on the National
Labor ticket, becomes secretary for do
minions and Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister,
Conservative, is secretary for colonies.
The new secretary for air is the Mar
quis of Londonderry, Conservative. Sir
Archibald Sinclair, Liberal, Is secre-
tary for Scotland.
Heads Board of Trade.
Walter Runciman was named presi-
dent of the board of trade, an appoint
ment which was regarded as Mr.. Mac
Donald's attempt to balance the Con-
servative tariff pressure with Liberal
whose mind is open on that issue.
Other appointments included.
Sir H Hilton Young, Conservative,
minister of health.
Sir Bolton Eyres Monsell, Conserva-
tive, first lord of the admiralty.
Sir Donald MacLean, Liberal, min
lister of education.
Sir John Gilmour. Conservative
minister of agriculture.
Sir Henry Betterton, Conservative
minister of labor.

first commissioner of works.
Lord Hailsham, Conservative, secre-
tary for war.
Appointment Surprising.
The most surprising appointment In
the list was that OF Sir John Simon 10
the foreign of11ce. 1t was known tnat
Lord Reading had indicated his willing
ness to relinQuish the post. and 1t was
generally expected that Sir John would
receive one of the more important ap-
pointmentS, but his name had not been
mentioned in connection with the for
eign office.
Neville Chamberlain is one of the
strong tariff group.
In making these appointments Mr.,
Macdonald, he let it be known, tried
to maintain the national character of
the government and at the same time
make as few changes in personnel as
possible
The cabinet, somewhat larger than
the emergency group which succeeded
the Labor government, consists of 20
members, Of whom IL are Conservs- :
tiveS, are Liberals of one wing or
another, and are members of the Ma
tional Labor party

CHICAGO, November 5.-The SEN
sational adve nee in wheat values con-
tinued at the opening of the Chicago
market today The first quotations were
as much as Us cents higher than yes
terday's close. May contracts crossed
the 70-cent mark for the first time this
season.
May wheat, opening at 10 to 703s
was the second deferred delivery to
cross the 70-cent mark. July led the
way to this new high mark fer the
season in the spectacular Scent rise
late yesterday. Until then no wheat
contracts had sold that high in the
Chicago pit since last May.
Heraldsd as a possible harbinger to
a general return to higher commodity
and security prices, the wheat market
attracted lively speculative interest
Trading was on a big scale and the
opening gains of % to Us cents were
quickly augmented by later transactions
Corn opened as much as = cent higher
and also made further gains.
Heavy prof1t-taking slowed up the
advance for q few moments, but this
was absorbed with no great losses and
the market continued to climb. After
a half hours trading both wheat and
corn futures were well over the opening
figures and as much as ss cents above
Yesterdays close. May wheat advanced
to 7o34.
Drought reports from Russia added
to a general belief that the Soviets
would be out of the market in the fu-
ture as an exporter. This opinion
strengthened the buIlish sentiment.

In the first place, federation

The United States Department
of Agriculture and the State
agriculture colleges, through the
newspapers and the radio, are
making a valuable contribution
to adult education in the United
States, M. S. Eisenhower, director
of information of the Federal
department, told a gathering Of
agriculture college editors at
Corvallis, Ore, Tuesday.
Mr.. Eisenhower'S remarks were
partly in reply to charges in
several recent magazine articles
that the information bureaus of
the various Government depart
ments are agencies purely for
spreading departmental propa-
ganda. and are not operated in
the interests of the public.
Mr.. Eisenhower said, the de-
partment's onion bulletin, first
printed in 1909, had reached a
circulation of 100000 copies in
response to more than 600, 900
letters from individuals asking
for information about onions.
The bulletin has been reprinted
"a times and revised three times,
he said. 4"
He cited this as proof the re-
ports were actually in demand.
