Rigid Economy In Food
Urged Upon Whole World

Rome. Nov. 2o.-Rigid economy
throughout the world in the consump-
ton of food in view of the deficient
crops and the extraordinary require
ments of the European armies, is urged
by the International Institute of Agri-
culture, which has made the most ex-
sensive report it has issued since the
war began. The institute say all ma
tons are confronted with a grave stu
alton.
1t is estimated that at least $500, 000,-
900 bushels of wheat will be consumed
in the year ending July 81, 1917, and
that at the end of this period the
worlds surplus supplies of wheat will
haYe decreased to 49, 600. 900 bushels.
The report says it is only on account
Of the fact that last years harvests
were abundant, leaving a balance of
$50, coo, 900 bushels, that there is avail
able sufficient wheat for the ear end
ing with next July.
The worlds surplus of five cereals
wheat, rye. barley, oats and corn-is
placed at $50, 900, 900 bushels. This in
cludes the uneXDortable Russian stocks
and also the stocks of Rumania and
Bulgaria. The surplus of cats is placed
at 166, 100000 bushels. A scarcity Of
fodder is expected.
The total Russian stocks of wheat
now stored, which if military conditions
permitted. would be available for ex-
port at the neXt harvest, are estimated
at 800, 000, 900 bushels.

CRAVE REOPENED TO
SOLVE GIRLS DEATH
Body Shows Marks of Violence,
But Family Claims She
Took Own Life.

Pontiac. H.. Nov. 20.-The grave of
Christine Diemer, quilted with a layer
of autumn leaves, was opened yester-
day and he body taken from it in an
endeavor to clear the names of her
father, mother and sister who were
recently held by the grand jury in con
necton with her death.
It is hoped by the Diemers that a
more thorough examination Of the body
will develop evidence to support the
theory that the girl drowned herself in
the river nea here during a spell of
insanity. The c%oroner's jury held that
the absence of water in the lungs and
bruises on the body pointed to murder.
The body was found a week ago after
members Of the family had said the girl
had gone to Florida on a visit.

Ell Paso. Tex. Nov. 2O.-A Chinese
night on the Mexican Central passen-

ing camp. He also said a brotherinlaw
of Theodore Hoemuller at Jiminez has
received confirmation of the killing of
Hoemuller. a German subject. and his
family in Parral. The Chinese refu-
gee added that the general belief in

mar consular agent in Parral, had been
killed at Santa Rosalia. Five Amer
leans are known to have reached Gu
liacan, Sinaloa, from Parral.
United States government represen-
tatives here have also received prac-
tically the same report from a Chinese
refugee who arrived in Juarez Thurs

Villa n his bandits, after occupying
the mining town ordered the foreign
ers killed, looted the stores, arrested
many of the natives and held them for
ransom and committed other depreda-
tons.
The Chinese refugee who arrived last
night said at least 90 Chinese had been
killed in Parral and that Is Arabs, He
brews n Syrians had been put to
death. He did not know the number
of other foreigners who We're killed, al
though he said another Chinese who
fed from Parrel had told him in

New York. Nov. 2O.-An assertio
that western farmers underestimate
their crops in reports submitted to the

and cabbage, is the latest contribution
to the high cost of food investigation
here. The charge is made by Joseph

termine the reasons for the high cost
OF living and incidentally to complets
arrangements for q farmers congress
to be held here in February.
Mr.. Hartigan's investigation con-
WINGED him. he said, that the govern.
ment estimates of wheat crops in his
country this year was based on Stats
tics furnished by the farmers, who
knowingly concealed at least 25 per
cent Of their wheat crops"
According to Mr.. Hartigan, this sur
plus has been held in reserve to be
dumped into the market, supposedly
short many millions of bushels, at a
price otherwise uno~btainable.
Il do not charge the farmers with
being out and out dishonest" declared
Mr.. Hartigan, but the least that can
be said of them is that their action was
unpatriotic. They are doing the same
thing in many parts of the country in
regard to potatoes, cabbages and on
ions.
Il have not the slightest doubt that
II these reserve supplies were released
we would hear considerably less about
crop shortages n the cost of these
farm products would be reduced to the
retail purchaser at least 81 per cent
from the prices now prevailing"

assertion of Joseph Hartigan, New
