Lower Stocks Expected to Be on Hand
July Than for Years.
world this week,

Washington, D. C. - World wheat
stocks by July 1 will be lower than
for several years, according to an
analysis of the situation issued by the
commerce department.
Both Argentine and Australia, the
department explained, have consider
ably less wheat than last year, the
United States carry.over will be light,
and only Canada has considerable
stocks on hand. A larger demand than
last year. it was declared was indicat-
ed by the upward trend of European
consumption, while the prospects are
for smaller crop.
Until next February" the depart
ment said, the International trade will
be largely dependent for supplies on
the surplus Of North America and
limited quantity from India With
Russia entirely out of the export trade,
North American wheat is in a relative
ly strong, position"

Peterins Out

The wan years waxing older, his
feet are tired and sore. and soon
he'll go to molder with years that
are no more; he's lame in knee and
shoulder. his journey is bore. With
ecstacy we hailed him when he was
young and strong; our plaudits
never failed him, we boosted loud
and long; but when Old Times de-
rallied him we'll say his course was
wrong. He brought US much attic
ton, tried US with gins and snares,
and in his jurisdiction we're strikes
and wobbly scares; each month was
full of friction that chafed us un-
awares. And now we see him shiver,
his long beard on his chest; our
warhoops we deliver. and speed the
parting guest; each Old Year is a
flivver, each New Year is the best.
Ahead we'll always looking. tomor-
rows are in view; our incense we
are cooking to greet the thing that's
new; beshrewing and gadzooking,
we say to old things. "Shoo!" The
poor Old Year now going has few to
sing his praise, we say that he is
showing a record of dark days. and
dornicks we are throwing. where
once we gave him bays. No doubt
the year that's coming will have his
smile on straight; with dulcimers "a
drumming we'll greet him at the
gate, and twelve months hence be
humming the old-time hymn of hate.

Use OF GAS HEATERS

Realizing that hundreds Of house

this winter to conserve the limited
supply Of coal. Health Ofcer Fowler
calls attention to precautions which
he believes should be observed.
TT is not my thought" said DR..
Fowler, ITO discourage the use of gas
heaters. But in using them so gen.
orally this winter, it is well to re-
member that every care should be
taken to make sure that such appli-
ances are tightly connected to pre-
vent leakage.
II would especially urge families
not to go to sleep at night and leave
gas heaters burning in the bedroom.
Turn of the heater and open a win
dow before retiring"
Sometimes, the health officer con-
tinued. q small amount of gas will
escape II the tubing is not connected

heavy and sick without realizing the
cause.
The health officer also called atten-
tion again to the danger of starting

Fowler says, throws OF carbon

gas. If this gas emanates from the

Kongo country. He said that native
welfare was given every considera-
tion and that the natives were pro

The valleys in which the gorillas
live are veritable Edens. richly vege-

variety Of trees. Especially beauti-
ful were the unusual motion pictures
shown of Victoria Falls and of the
lone volcano of Tanganyika (former-
