Fights in Parker.

There were two fights in Parker
this week, one being between
couple of ball players and the other
between two card players. The
causes for the scraps may be about
as clearly defined as the Kaiser's
excuse for the war, and as to the
merits Of the gladiators, they hadn't
any, for both battles were meretri-
cious. No blood was spilled and no
arrests made. These flights are
among the first we have had In
Parker since old bibacious Boss
Booze has been banished from the
realm, showing that at least ninety
nine per cent of such trouble In the
past was inspired by that hilarious

Great Wheat Stocks

United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso.
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to se-
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 80,OOO.-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approxima tely 1SO,OOO,OOO bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
OU,UVV,UVV bushels more out OF
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last stAp.
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 100000 to
the left over.
It is not q problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
Of shipping. which has thrown on
America the obligation of div1d.
Ing our stock with the Allies.
