Saturday, December 21, 1929 . The Way Of The Wlieat Market nrO tli farmers who have . playing the wheat market the following statement by the U. S. Department of Agriculture may be enlight ening, if not assuring: "The general wheat market situation continued weak with large market stocks smaller total supply, Around 190,000,000 bushels of U. 8. wheat are still in store Canadian market stocks in increased to nearly 227,000,000 bushels. Around 25,- 000,000 bushels are still available for export from the old crop in Argentina, and aged 8,000,000 bushels the past two weeks. Australian shipments for the week total 1,010,000 bushels. The offerings of this southern hemisphere wheat in competi tion with North American grain appears to be the prin cipal weakening factor in the market. Native wheats are still being offered in good volume in the principal European markets at prices below those of imported wheata, duty paid." Regulation Needed A TTENTION of this paper has been called to the lack of traffic signs in the Riverside school' district, espe cially from the west end of the Link river bridge and around the hill skirting the school property. Children living to the east and south of the school are in constant danger from passing cars and the wonder is that acci dents have not been more numerous. The average autc ist has a disinclination to slow down even for well marked areas and it is certain that caution will not bt exercised where there are no markings. Then, too, there are many car drivers unaware of the location of the school and they are not to be blamed for speeding if there are no warning signs. The greatest danger is at the noon hour, when children along. One accident in that ago nearly cost the life of a been evidence enough of the need of better traffic regu lation in that vicinity.

Mr. FriUer'e teara were due partly to tha Injuatlca of the charge acalnet him and partly to tha fact that a policeman bad juat ateppad on hia foot for attempt ing to ling In tha courtroom. Mr. Frltaer waa accuaed by Mra. Urma Eliana ot baring blacked her eya. It waa tha con tention ot Mr. Fritter that each an affair waa temperamentally Impoaaible for Mr. Fritter, and in thia contention he waa ably aup ported by hli attorney, Chester C, Caldwell. "Your honor," argued Mr. Caldwell, "I rhall be able to prore In thia cane that my client not only did not black the eye of tha complainant bnt that ha could not hare blackened tha eya of tha complainant." "He la not charged with In ability to black an aye," replied tha Judge. "Yon won't hare to prove that and tha hour is getting lata." "Ha ia a bruta with no senti ment and bo onl," moaned Mn. Klaane, weeping out ot tha eya that remained open. "Ha la a bora tramp with no Idea of home tlea " "Juat a minute," counseled the judge. "You hare stated your charge.

"f nerer wonder at anything that happens in a courtroom," an- noonced Judge Burke. "WeU. TU tell you anyway,' rolnnteered Mr. Caldwell. "It's because he'a a writer of ballade. That's how he haa made h! great success. He baa wrltteno mora mammy songs than any other three aong writers In America and he wanted to show yon by the power ot his art how silly ts this charge that he could hare struck a woman." , "Mammy aongs are legal but hardly evidence," ruled tha judge. "However, if you care to quota one without the music we might IUten to it." So Mr. Fritzer looked squarely at Mrs. Elsana and with a voice shaken by emotion he Quoted tha poem with which he hoped to soften her heart and deatroy tha hallucination that he might hare blacked her eye.

"Does it likely that a man capable of expressing tha mother lore em bodied in that beautiful ode, not to aay lyric, could possibly for get himself and black the eya of a woman? No, a thousand times no! Tha poet in thia dstendant would rebel at tha thought. It would ba contrary to all tha prin ciples that ha has expreesed so often in his songs. Mae- meat Mother! Womanhood.

Nowhere elae la the world have our brava boys ao convincingly demonstrated their superiority over a foreign populace. Thiiy have killed soma 1500 Haitians, according to Haitians themselves: Utl, according to tha secretar? ot the navy's report for lilt and only about 1500 according to the report of a Senate Investigating committee. Only a dosea marinas have been killed by Haitians and al though that was enough to pro voke sensational stories ot atrool ties and human sacrifices In this country tha ratio ot casualties showa what onr leathernecks can do when fighting for their coun try. Not So Co tain on Now Of courss there ara those In WaWshlngton who think it wasn't necessary to kill so many Haitians Senator King and Senator Bo rah, for Instance. But for all your correspondent bt aver been bla to get out ot tha State or Navy Department, the killings were a blessed boon to Haiti. They occurred In tha carrying out of tbe Amerlraa occupation b ginning In I'll and for the last ten years, until recently, tew fur ther killings have beeu necessary bocauae of tha thoroughness with which the Haitians aera taught tbelr lesson. The immediate background It still a little vague. One cannot ba quite sure about official claims that tha Haitians lova us and our occupation and regard Brlg.-Oen. John H. Russell, the American high commissioner and so-called dictator, as Santa Claus himself. Even It one is assured that the Haitian bandits ara a bunch of bandits whom every 100 per cent American should bate, it must be recalled that General Smedley Butler le reported as having ex plained n a Pittsburgh epeech the other night that In Hsltl the ma rines always formally branded ss bandits those who opposed Ameri can policies. Even President Hoo ver declares solution of tha Hai tian problem "still obscure." But tha previous facta In the sitnatlon are well known. Marina killings and othsr tactics of sub jugation robbed tha Haitians of tbelr traditional pastime ot kill ing each other.

Alto, tha Haitian constl tutlon, whlob wa promptly abol ished, provided that no foreigners should hold land there despite the faot that there were soma vain able plantations. The Immediate pretext for the marine landing waa tha assassination and cutting to piece of President Ism, 'bloodthirsty gsnt whose recent massarrss had Irritated hia sub jects.

Tha marines staged a "national referendum" to put over tbe new constitution, in the effective manner which has been explained by General Butler, and the official report on tha vote showed 8.19t D favor and 76 agalnat. Whether any marines wsr court-martialed (or alio Ing those To! votes U not known, but there have been many loud horse-laughs at the figures.
