Pretty Girl Skater To Crown Six-Year Career In Olympics BUFFALO. N. Y. W When Louise Weigel, pretty 10-year-old Buffalo girl, takes the Ice at Lake Placid next February to represent Uncle Sam in the Olympic figure skating championships, ehe will return to the spot where she was first inspired to take up fancy skating. Some six years ago, Loutee attend ed a winter .carnival at the resort with her parents and was bo thrilled by the speed and grace or the skaters that she decided tp try to imitate them. Her father allowed her to take lessons and she has been skat ing ever since. . , Recognition, came slowly at first for the slender, attractive girl but natural grace and Intense effort were not to be denied. She was awarded third place In the national women's singles cham pionships at Madison Square Gar den recently and with It the honor of representing the United States in the Olympics. Previously she had gained some national recognition, but had -not been considered sufficiently matured to compete in the keenest of all figure skating contests. Miss Weigel has mastered WASHINGTON BICENTENARY All Amei'ica, every American, will celebrate this year the ! amazing number or difficult figures, bicentenary of George Washington.

SMALLER WHEAT ACREAGE Fair prospects are seen for a ten per cent reduction in the wheat crop of the United States for this year, which no doubt would be a welcome prospect to all engaged in the production of this commodity. , . . '. ' This promising outlook is due to a number of things. Some wheat growers have voluntarily reduced their acreage Tho drouth that prevailed over some of the principal wheat- growing states last fall prevented some seed irom germin ating and made planting futile in many sections. An unfavorable winter in some sections may further re ' duce the 1932 harvest without financial loss to the farmers who stand a better chance of taking a profit from a small crop than from a harvest that might increase the present world supply of wheat. Out of this reduction in wheat acreage may come a greater diversification of farming in areas where agriculture has been a one-crop affair. There will be less dependence upon a commodity which for a number of years has not been profitable. Wheat probably will always be the main support of what now constitutes the wheat country, but the time is coming when that country may draw from other industries and crops when wheat fails.

EUGENE. Ore., Jan. 14 VP) A de cision to abolish tennis and golf as college sports for the coining season was reached by the executive council of University of Oregon here last night. The move was made because other conference schools have taken similar action and competition would thus be curtailed. Tho council voted to limit swim ming to two meets with Oregon State. Oregon will, however, be represent ed at the southern golf tournament this spring and It is supposed Don Moe will be selected. Moe is west ern amateur champion.

RALLIES TO DOWN BAKER SALEM, Jan. 14 UP) Pinal settle ment of the controversy between Max Gehlhar, manager of the state fair, was effected yesterday in & con ference between the two officials. Governor Julius L. Meier previously urged co-operation between them, re fusing to make any changes to dis miss one or the other. The state fair comes under the supervision of the agricultural department. Mrs. Wilson in the future will have complete charge of all exhibits, con cessions, and horse shows and rac ing events at the fair, while the ag ricultural department will take over management of the grounds and the buildings, as well as finances. It was announced following the conference. Rigid economy for the 1932 event next September was decided upon, as well as a program aimed at retiring the $143,000 bonded debt on the fair. The fair grounds office will be closed during the Interval between fairs, as one of the economy measures. It was decided by the two officials, and all clerlcalwork will be done at the agricultural department. The fair will likewise be operated on a budget basis, with salaries to be fixed by the department. Gehlhar announced the total ob ligations of the fair are 810,000 less than they were a year ago.
