THE HOUSTON POST:' TUESDAY MORNING -AUGUST 26 1919.

Houston Post 'Special.
CIALVESTON Texas Aug. 25. Ae-
. eof ding to the announcement of J. W.
Daley association member of the South-
: eru export committee there are tmly
68000 gross tons of (hipping available
to care for the wheaVmovement through
Galveston between now and October 1.
This amount of shipping will care for
onlj 2600000 - bushels of grain and
thera is now 2000000 in the local eleva-
' tors with more than 4000000 en route
bf re. In other words the shipping in
v sight will care - for - only one-third of
the wheat in port or in transit to the
" . port.
The statement of tonnage in sight
comes from C E. Spent assistant diretf-
' tor of the division of traffic United States
railway administration and manager of
inland traffic for the United States wheat
director.
i The telegram received from Mr. Spens
is as follows: .
x . v "In sight between now and October
1 for wheat export company and Belgian
government is approximately only 58000
gross tons of shipping which will take
- care of only 2.600000 bushels of wheat
: "Owing to the quantity of wheat now
in elevators at Galveston In cars at
Galveston and in transit until increased
shipping ran bo secured there will be
severs delay to cars in yards as well as
to those in transit and under the dr-
1 . cumstances no permits must be issued
for the movement of export grain to Gal-
veston until advised to do so by this
office."
' The message is dated Washington Au-
gust 2.
Inquiry reveals that there are ap-
roximatety 2000000 bushels of wheat
t Galveston elevators. This being in
addition to other grains such as barley
and oats it is evident that the elevators
1 . are practically tilted to their working
capacity.
There are on track at Galveston and
en route here approximate! 4000 cars of
. grain or ( almost enough to fill the ele-
vators twice after the present stock is
removed by shipping in sight.
; Opinion here is that the wheat export
company has made a serious mistake in
not taking transit grain into account in
allocating tonnage. (The probability that
this is the case is apparent. The grain
. corporation does not buy until wheat is in
- the elevator. When the 'grain is in the
elevator the grain corporation purchases
and tonnage then is allotted on elevator
certificate by the- wheat export company.
Under this plan no provision would be
made for and no aWount taken of any
prospective cargo. Meanwhile grain on
track continues a liability subject to de-
terioration from the usual causes and
grain which can not movs from country
stations presents a crisis which is af-
fecting farmers and grain men through-
out the Bute.

'With the exception of a few lower-
priced brands Fatima is the largest-
selling cigarette in America.
Its vales nearly equal those of
all straight Turkish brands com-
bined. To have won and to hold such
leadership Fatima must (and of
course does) deliver something to
smokers that money cannot bay in
any other cigarette.
What is it? The answer is ;
"JUST ENOUGH TURKISa'
Straight Turkish cigarettes seem
to have too much Turkish the
poorer Turkish blends too little.
Fatima on the other hand has
"just enough Turkish."
Just enough to taste right and
just enough to leave a man feeling
right even when he smokes more
than usual.
Are you personally smoking too
much or -too little or just enough
Turkish?
