What About Wheat Supply?

There are those who maintain
that apart from international rel.
ations our domestic problems will
furnish enough worry for the aver.
age American, and an authority
suggests that unless there is Il
large crop of foodstuffs the outlook
will be viewed with considerable
concern.
The worlds supply of the most
important foodstuff, wheat, is de.
clining. There is no doubt that
Europe is in hard straits for wheat
Great Britain has forbidden the
cabling of grain quotations and
the food dictator has undertaken
to stop much of the waste by pro,
hibiting its use as a food to an,
imals. Millers are instructed To
secure more flour by additional
milling.
AS for Germany, it is apparent
that she is hard up for wheat
The small neutral nations there
have little mere than enough and
the general prospect is that the
end of the raise is not yet in sight,
Wheat at So a bushel has become
q common place!

To be successful, q community

Monday morning of this week Judge Frank Baxter swatted the Big He Hghbnder solar pexus blow that will probably make that individual and all his satellites sit up and take notice for long time to In of the most terse and maStey decisions rendered by superior judge in the of Arizona Judge Baxter perpeuay joined the corporation commission from coming down here to Yuma and raising the Big He Hghbinder muddy water rates which he attempted to have them do early in September At his request the commission came here to hold hearing wherein proposed to raise the muddy water" rate something like TWO THOUSAND per cent. Just before the hearing begun City Attorney Thomas D. MolIoy obtained temporary writ of prohibon for bidding the hearing This was what made Chairman Jones so mad that he fairly ragged and snorted and lost ten dollar bet with the Sentinel editor which he has yet paid Wonder if he will pay it now?
 Judge Baxter shows in his able decision that he not only knows the law but that he afraid counter to the wishes of the Big He Hghbnder with all his reputec millions upon millions
 The second decision completely upholds the city in its contention that under its charter and under the law has the absolute right FIX ALL RATES charged by city pub lie utility plants within the city of Yuma This has been the contention of the Arizona Sentinel from the very beginning of this controversy It is therefore gratifying to the editor of this paper know that Judge Baxter finds that this ordinance valid It that there immediate necessity for the city dads break their necks in effort to make the people purchase the Big He Highbnders ole rattraps for something like quarter of million dollars for if we have the right to FIX the price he charge fo gas and light almost well off though actually owned the plants That has been the contention this paper all the It remains be what the city dads will do This article is being written Monday afternoon but the action of the council Tuesday night vii be reported in another column if that wise bunch takes any action at all
