. 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. Frltaer waa accuaed by

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

"He la not charged with In

tha Judge. "Yon won't hare to

"Ha ia a bruta with no senti

"f nerer wonder at anything

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

"Mammy aongs are legal but
hardly evidence," ruled tha judge.
"However, if you care to quota
one without the music we might

So Mr. Fritzer looked squarely
at Mrs. Elsana and with a voice
shaken by emotion he Quoted tha

WASHINGTON, Deo. 11 For
a good many gears now our gal
lant U. 8. marines have been
killing those pesky Haltlaps (or
tbelr own good.
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. There la plenty
ot debate as to whether occupa
tion haa done tha island any great
good, but It brought aa unprece
