Rigid Economy In Food
Urged Upon Whole World

Rome. Nov. 20.-Rigid economy

tion of food in view of the deficient
crops and the extraordinary require

1t is estimated that at least 1900, OO0,-
900 bushels of wheat will be consumed

that at the end of this period the
worlds surplus supplies Of wheat will
have decreased to 5000, 900 bushels.

New York. Nov. 20.-An assertion
that western farmers underestimated
their crops in reports submitted to the
federal government and thereby forced
up h price of wheat. potatoes, onions
and cabbage. is the latest contribution
to the high cost of food investigation
here. The charge is made by Joseph
Hartigsn, commissioner of weights and
measures. who has just returned from
4 tour of 20 states, undertaken to de-
!ermine the reasons for the high cost
Of living and incidentally to complete
arrangements for a farmers congress-,
to be held here in February.
Mr.. Hartigan's investigation con-
vinced him. he said, that the govern
country this year was based on statis-
tics furnished by h farmers, who
knowingly concealed at least 25 per
GENT Of their wheat crops
According to Mr.. Hartigan, this sur

price otherwise understandable.
II do not charge the farmers with

Mr.. Hartigan. but the least that can
be said of them is hat their action was
unpatriotic. They are doing the same
thing in many parts Of the country in
regard to potatoes, cabbages and on
IONS.
II have not the slightest doubt that
If these reserve supplies were released
we woul hear considerably less about

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Department Of

Furthermore, department officials as

 BY WATER COMP ANY
Fifty Thousand Gallon Tank to Be Constructed in Can yon Which Will Take Care of Everybody in Bisbee.

To accommodate the large number of people who are building homes in the Upper Tombstone Canyon region of the city of Bisbee and to guarantee water to every householder within the city limits, the BisbeeNaco Water Company is now excavating a place for 50,000 gallon tank high on the hill above its present high" tank.
 At the present time there are some houses in the city which are unable to purchase Bisbee-Naco water as the tank capacity and its location will not permit of the products delivery. With the rapid settlement of Upper Tombstone Canyon. the extension of residence sections and the new people there the water company decided to increase its storage capacity.
 Work will be started on the new tank as soon as possible. Workmen are now preparing site and the ma terial is ready for the task. Accord ing to Manager Fitzgerald the new tank should be completed and in op- eration within the next sixty days.
