Nicholson, chairman of the New York state anti-saloon league campaign committee, to night described Governor Smith's proposal to permit state control of the sale of liquor as "an amai ing proposition."

(AP) Under orders of physicians Gustav Stressemann, German foreign minister, today abandoned his in tention to participate in the forth coming meeting of the council of the League - of Nations. He will limit his immediate official under takings to a brief visit to Paris on August 27 where he will sign the Kellogg war renunciation treaty. The statesman was examined thoroughly, by four specialists. They told him there was urgent need that he take a further rest from his work. They agreed that he could go to Paris but only on condition that he be mindful of the state of his health and not unduly exert himself while there. It is understood that Herr Stressemann will return to Ber lin Immediately after the Kellogg treaty formalities. Then he is to proceed to some convenient spa and resume his effort to regain normal physical condition. The upset in his official pro gram confronts Chancellor Muel ler and the cabinet with the nec essity of reorganizing the German delegation to Geneva. The foreign minister had intended to raise there the entire range of the llhineland occupation problems. Now it Is assumed that he will only have some preliminary con versations at Paris with Premier Poincare and Aristide Briand, the French foreign minister, so as to lay a foundation for a comprehen sive discussion at Geneva. Dunlap Advises J , Farmer to Hold Wheat Harvest WASHINGTON, Aug., 24. (AP).

''"No' advantage to the grower results when prices are readjust ed upward if the wheat has left the farm." he declared in a state ment, explaining that "it Is well known that hearj marketings at the beginning of a season tend to depress prices too much." . Mr. Dunlap advised farmers to hold back their crops, saying that "farmers who sell their crops im mediately after harvest without regard to the state of the market, may have cause to regret it later."
