BOXES MUST BE ON
RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD

Rural mail carriers are required
b. recent order Of the postotfice
department. TO put mail in boxes only
on the right hand side of their route
This has always been the rule OF the
postofIice department, but it has not
been enforced strictly, Patrons whose
NAH boxes are now on the left side
Of the road viii be required to move
them to the opposite side II they
hope to continue to receive mail in
them. 1t is pointed out that since
the growth of the use Of the automo-
bile and increased traffic that the
plan Of zigzagging back and forth
across the road by horse driven
team is fraught with danger to the
carer where If all the boxes were
on the right hand side as he drives
the route the same every day that
the danger to him will be materially
lessened If not altogether avoided.

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 l, Australia had
stored 100.000OOO bushels OF
wheat that was ready for ex'
port-but there were no ships
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus OF 80,000,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately IS0,000,000 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
10000 900 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
tile 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 win add l35,000.000 to
the left over.
It is not problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world---It is entirely problem
OF shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation OF divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.
