P. D. SOUTHW0RTH FINDS MARKET
FOR M|MDRtS VALLEY PRAIRIE HAY
Calls Attention to Fact that Food
Stuhs are Becoming Scarce Owing
TO European War and that Farms
Should Plan TO Meet Demands.

Last weeks work was confined
mostly to the marketing problem. The
production of our farms has reached
point where outside general mark
cts must be sought. ! have been here
long enough to study somewhat our
market conditions and having had
some experience in that line of wor';
in other years. ! must say that the
Dcming merchants are most liberal
in their treatment of our farmers.
II j. natural for causes of dissnlls-
faction To arise between the farmer
and merchant on frequent occasions
and there is often cause for just
complaint on both sides. As II whole
our merchants are most liberal in the
prices they pay for farm products,
but there is limit to the amount
iha, they can buy.
OUTSIDE MARKETS
Il is quite likely that We are find
ing this out ms we get into compe-
tition with outside markets. We will
not receive the prices that are paid
locally. But we must meet compe
tition whether we like it or not. This
is especially true with the hay bust
ness this year.
HAY CROP LARGE
'rhnro y,1 an npnr,nnus ,r,n nt

large quantities of it. Alfalfa

reliable sources that the east Texas
prairie hay will not match in quality
our native New Mexico hay. We have
II large quantity of very fine hn and
his office is making an earnest ci
fort to market il all.
FOOD PRICES GOING Up
Throughout the coming year. food
products will probably reach high
price mark that will make the farm
rrs come into their own. Dealers
n food products who are well in
touch with the situation assure us
that the continued war in Europe will
cause such scarcity of food as the
world has not seen for many years
Beans are practically out of the
market. twenty-five ears havir" hrrn

Relief Plans Laid.

Chicago, July 24-Acting Mayor
Moorehouse and ]. ]. O'Connor, direct
or of the central division of the Amer
lean Red Cross, laid plans for relief
of the Eastland victims at meeting
tonight attended by officers of the
Western Electric company.
Private stores and officers of the
turned into relief stations and public
utility concerns laelped. The Chicago
Telephone company installed a score
of free telephones near the Eastland's
docks whence survivors flashed word
to anxious relatives.
The Red Cross established an
emergency station at the Second regi-
ment armory, prepared to take care of
prostration cases and accidents. The
nurses association and society volun-
teered to care for survivors and strick-
en- relatives were helped by I3otels,
which furnished gallons of coffee and
hundreds of sandwiches
Under direction of the city health
department, treatment to prevent ty-
phoid fever was accorded survivors
who might have swallowed river water.

been removed to the Second regiment
armory. Revised figures showed 176
bodies had been identified. Of ia par
TALLY identified bodies, At were men,
48 women, Z boys and II girls.
The armory where the dead were
taken, situated in Tricky settled part
of the West Side, was surrounded this
evening by great tnrong.
Thousands formed in line hours be
fore the great doors were opened,
awaiting a chance to seek trace of kin
and friends believed lost.
At 9:35 o'clock the first pate es Of
reople were admitted to the armory
and began efforts to identify the dead.
They were admitted in groups of 20,
and judging from the crowds which
surrounded the building the coroner's
aides believed it would take all night
to get through.
Many Others Dead.
More than 900 bodies were then in
the armory and some of the officials
said they had reason to believe 900 or
400 more still were in the wreck.
Members of the crowd waiting out
side the armory stormed the doors late
tonight and the police were forced to
use their clubs to drive them back.
Several persons were injured, it was
said.

tonight that ne had ordered the arrest
of every official of the Indiana Trans
portation company which leased the
Eastland. No individuals were men
toned in the coroner's announcement.
That a sudden rush of persons on the
deck of the Eastland to port side to
look at a speeding launch caused the
catastrophe, was the assertion of Jack
Ebert, gauge tender of the steamer.
He said he and J. NJ Erickson, chief
engineer, escaped drowning by wadlng
through water in the hatch and crawl
ing out of port hole into the river.
The steamer Eastland was KEEP
stable by means of water ballast
Elbert said. Water is pumped into
the chambers in the ship until she be-
comes steady. This is done before
even freight is taken aboard. The first
thing l noticed this morning was that
the Eastland began to lean to the star
board. Erickson, the chief engineer
was in charge of the pumps used to
pump the water into the chambers.
He said. Boys, steady her up little,
and then we pumped the water into
the other side until she was was up
even and all right. We had just even
ed her up when launch came down
tht river and passed the Eastland and
the crowd on the deck rushed over to
the Do-t side to look at it. The weight
all on one side apparently proved too
much and the Eastland began to list
badly.
Eve worked frantically at the pumps
to try to bring her back, but she was
too far gene"
Eyewitnesses informed the police
that there was man in the launch
with moving picture camera and that
this attracted the attention Of passen-
gers on the Eastland, who rushed to
one side of the boat.

Indiana Transportation company,
