His Grievance.

A dozen deaf-mutes sat in a north

vigorously conversing along and across

fingers. The oar of the train vas ne

At Grand Central station a man got

racket Of the train, and unnoticed, of
course, by the deaf-mutes to WHOM it
vas addressed.
The doors were closed and the train

appeal to the guard:

immense QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There Will Still, However, Be q
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number of years,
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels of wheat, the pro-
duction of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be s.own. The
three countries upon which the filling
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249, goo 600, their eXportable surplus
would of course be much less, so it
a easily be seen that the question
is not N to be easily solved and 1t
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to ~re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration of peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun.
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices.
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ticn of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent: she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the sumning-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
OF the Dominion Of Canada to ecu
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
we'll. The climate is admirably suited.

Shortly after the attractive Edith

the writer protested to know we'll, and

he believed Balm himself had written

and a fisticuff ensued-Gilbert again

Then came the shooting n the

latter has not yet been dispelled.
Some Theories.
There is II pretty general belief cur-

matter by an ancient code of honor-
choosing midnight as the hour and the
golf course as the place. Balm says

loaded shells in it was found in his

London. March 27.-The Exchange
Telegraph company has received q dis
patch from Athens saying that Field
Marshal Won Der Goltz, who has been
in Constantinople for some months
past. representing German military in
