Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
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 Sc.
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January /, Australia had
stored 1O0,000,O00 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0O0O,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180.00O.OOO bush.
els waiting for ships.
india, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
50,000,000 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. 100000 to
the left over.
It 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 obligation of dlvid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

INVESTING MONEY.
When "Safety First" and Not Large
Returns ls the Object.

Returns Is the Object.
"a conservative policy would prompt
all buyers of securities to invest at
least a portion of their capital In gov
ernment issues or some other form of
sound bonds" says Leslie's Weekly.
"Many investors have q preference
exclusively for stocks because the lat
ter may render higher yield or may
fuctuate more widely, thus Offering
larger chances for speculative profit.
Dividend paying shares of the season
ed sort are not to be belittled, and they
will perhaps always form the major
portion of the average investors pur-
chases. There is reasonable safety in
them.
"But firmer 'cornerstones of fortune
are found in the better class bonds
These are not necessarily gilt edged,
but they are well secured. In times
Of prosperity the issuing corporations
have no difficulty in meeting interest
charges. In times of depression divi-
dends on stocks may be suspended,
but the enterprise must pay interest
OH its bonds or submit to foreclosure
And III such event the bondholder rare
ly suffers loss. Their high degree of
stability and safety commends good
bonds as an Indispensable part of any
well established estate"
