Copyright, Association. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.—The trial of Ann Luther's hundred thousand- “Millionaire Jack" White has be come a sort of Avery Hopwood com- edy, with the courtroom in a con- tinuous uproar or merriment. To begin with, Ann, who charges the millionaire gold mining operator with promising to star her in pic- tures and unconscionably changing his. mind after writing her cooing letters and presenting her with an en- gagement ring, now has Hollywood whooping and slapping its thighs in supreme mirth by declaring that Leonard Meyberg, the millionaire’s Attorney, sade love to her in New York in 1921. In fact, she specifical- ly states that Meyberg asked her to marry him. She also vows that Meyberg once signed her to a $1,000 a week movie comedy for 30. weeks and has since called him as her star witness. White called in a counter suit for $16,000—which he claims he advanc- ed Ann; that she misrepresented her Ldrawing ability as an actress and her ceputation, Attorney Meyberg i& in a ticklish*position. . or, according to Ann, Meyberg once thought her, reputation so lovely and snowy that he asked her to be his wife and her ability so pronounced as to offer her a thousand dollars a week. At any rate, the orange-haired, pretty and somewhat saucy young woman intends to make the million alre’s attorney hang himself with the rope prepared for her. At the same time she is in the odd situation of having two former suitors opposed to her. White has kept’ the snappy com- edy at button-bursting heights bj insisting that he could never have asked Ann to be his wife for the Buffalo Too Numerous In Yellowstone WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—An offer of a buffalb free of cost to any one who will pay the freight .was made today by the interior depart ment.

With a girlish snicker, she avow- ed astonishment at “Dear Jack's” pure mind in view of his ideas of the proper thing in transcontinental travel. “When we got to the station in New York on our way to Low An: goles,” she told the court, “the porter took my bag and escorted me to my drawing room. Mr. White was no! where to be seen. As soon as the train started, however, he burst into my drawing room and told me he could not even get a lower berth on the train. The poor fellow.” A suppressed giggle swelled over the court room. “IT said ‘What are you going to do?’ and he said ‘I'll stay here.” “Then I began to cry. Mr. White put his arm around me and said ‘Don't cry, little girl.’ He also told me ‘I'll sleep in the upper berth and you take the lower, and I will as- sure you I won't’ bother you.’ " Later, in the corridor! courtroom, Ann told seve ers “I was just as safe wit! if I had been in a cage full A moment later, in answs pointed question, she chuck told everything T knew affair, I'd be put in jal ing about it."’ The trial itself 1s comple! out dignity.

The pro- duction this year in fifteen impor- tant producing countries, including the United States and Canada, and exclusive of Russia and China, is estimated at 2,092,976,000 bushels, compared with 2,272,901,000 bushels last year. “The cereal crop-in Burope is less than last year with important re- ductions in countries consuming large quantities of hard wheats similar to our durum variety,” the department of agriculture stated. “The absence of an exportable surplus in North. Africa further strengthens the market positions of these wheats and’ the outlook from the point of view of American, pro- ducers is more favorable than last year: ~The European demand for wheat at prices prevailing last sea- son resulted in imports consider- ably larger than expectations at the beginning of the season. The elasticity of the demand in -certain importing countries is like- ly to be felt at the present price level and European imports this season may not be greater than last year in spite of smaller harvests, ‘In the Orfent, which has taken considerable quantities of United States and Canadian wheat and flour during the past season, the prospects are for a considerable e- creased production of wheat. Japan forecasts a wheat crop 12 per. cent below last year, and in Manchuria conditions have been very unfavor- able, though acreage and production estimates are not available for this region. With the increase in prices and the majority of the reduction in the United States crop occurring in the Pacific northwest, it 1s difficult to foresee what effect wheat reduc- tion in the Oriental crop will have on purchases from America. “Russia reports are as contra dictory as ever, ranging from crops larger than last year to danger of a severe famine affecting as many as 5,000,000 people. “Reports of crop shortages In {m- portant regions appear to be well founded. Notwithstanding famine reports from drought-stricken areas, press reports are to the effect that the soviet government will continue its export policy and the claim is made that’ possible famine will be relieved; without the aid of foreign focd. “Reports! of considerable in- creese in the wheat acreage in Ar- gentina are current but no official estimate is available as yet.

A FEW REASONS WHY J. B. GRIFFITH Should Be Nominated and Elected County Commissioner For the Four-Year Term On the Republican Ticket When he was a member of the Board in 1919 and 1920 he put into effect the only systematic road maintenance system the county has ever had. He believes in the equitable distribution of road funds to every section of the county. The construction of the Casper Mountain road and the excellent condition of the Alcova road in 1919-20 are guar- antees of what he will do if elected. could make the trip to Alcova in a little over an hour— try itnow). The 8,000 automobile owners of Casper, all of whom are taxpayers in some form, are entitled to more consid- eration in the matter of good county roads than they have (In received in the past four years. The habit of building roads and not maintaining them after they have been built amounts to criminal waste.
