Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's .the shortage IN ships that
e, Is putting the Allies and the
United States on, wheat rati0ns.
Great stocks Of wheat are iso.
! lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
i use the Allies are forced to Sc
(. cure some wheat from Argentina.
i; On January l, Australia had
stored 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels of
Z wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came, the new crop with
an exportable surplus of s8O,OOO,-
600 Bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,OOO,OOO BUSH
els waiting for ships. H. !
India, at the same time, had
7O,OO0,O00 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
5O,OOO,OO0 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping. season with 100000
bushels. of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,OO0,OOO.to
the left over. 2g.a ". 'r ~
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obliga ton of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

Of course, this does not mean that it's
all girls, has no funny comedians, ETC.,
for the combination is headed BY that
we'll known burlesQue froliker, Fred

popular exponent Of Irish wit. These
two funny fellows are ably assisted
BY other we'll known burlesque and
variety artists and they are going to
make merry in a farce called In the

has been lost somewhere between here
and Columbus, but who, in these days
of wartime nervousness and anxiety,
wants an old plot to bother their brain
about. It's life and gayety that the
masses are looking for They have got

are simply immense. If you don't
think so. take a trip over to the Court
and try to get a seat. The Standing
