One Cause of High
Prices.


The charge is made that the cause
OF the very high prices of food prod
ucts is that farmers generally un-
derestimate their crops. This is sup
posed to have caused an exaggerated
fear of scarcity, and to have led to
bidding up all kinds of foods. JOS
eph Hartigan, commissioner Of
weights and measures of New York.
In stating this as his belief after an
extended western tour. is convinced
that II reserved supplies could be re-
leased. prices Of staples could be re-
duced rs per cent. Mr.. Hartigan
seems to think that this underesti-
mate was concerted movement.
The trouble with this theory is
that 1t Is so difiicult to get formers
to do anything by joint and combined
action. 1t Is true however that far
mers from time TO time immemorial
have always underestimated crop
conditions. II one crop looked well
some other was always ruined.
The modern farmer sees things in
more cheerful light. But the ma
ture OF his calling makes him inde-
pendent. and 1t is difficult to organ
ize him into concerted movements.
The chances are that middlemen
and produce market operators have
had to do more with the panicky
buying movement than the farmers
1t is very easy thing to circulate
stories of scarcity that are not borne
out by facts.
One way to check speculation Is
possession of the exact facts about
crop conditions. Good men are need
ed in every district to give true re-
port of prospects and harvests. De
cayed politicians should not be sci.
ected for such reporters. Nor should

The appalling death rate from kid

that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer may slip gradually into

GRUESOME RIDE
IOWA FARMER DROVE ALI
NIGHT WITH WIFE'S BODY
In AUTO.

Algona, Ia. Nov. 2S.-The story Of
how Melvin Seefeldt, elderly farmer
living near Wesley. killed his wife
while in a rage over a domestic dis
pute, and then drove all night about
the neighboring country with his
wife's body in his automobile with
him before committing suicide the
next morning had gradually been
brought to light since the bodies of
the two were found last Wednesday.
Seefeldt, it appears, shot his wife
with a shotgun Tuesday afternoon.
He scrubbed the floor of the porch,
which was bloodstained as a result
of the crime, took his wife's body
and buried it in his farmyard, and
then returned to his house and got
supper for a husking crew which was
working for him.
After supper he exhumed the
body, placed 1t in his automobile, and
started his gruesome w~anderings.
He evidently drove all night, passing
through Britt and Thompson. and
stopping for gasoline at Britt.
He finally stopped at the roadside
between Wesley and Titonka the next
morning and shot himself.
He mailed a letter before he COM
mitted suicide, in which he told one
of his sons what he had done and told
of how he wished his property dis
posed of.
