WORST IN CITY'S HISTORY

Chicago, Feb. c2.-The coal situation
In Chicago and the middle west Is the
worst in history today. the only en-
couraging feature being the mild
weather, which has prevailed for three
days.
Fred w. Uppham, president of the
Consumers company. is authority for
this statement. There are only 10000
tons of coal on hand, in all yards of
his company, he said, while the normal
supply would be 100000 tons.
The situation is easily the wors: in
Chicago's history" Orphan said. land
our only hope is continuation Of the
mild weather. The freight situation
seems to be getti.. worse every day.
In January we received 80 to 40 per
cent of the normal supply Of coal. Our
shipments have averaged less than 10
per cent all during February"
The light plant in Evanston. Ill, has
only two days supply on hand, and is
in danger of being forced to leave the
North shore in darkness should the

RETAIL PRICES OUT
OF PROPORTION TO
FARMERS INCOMES

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 22.-Iowa farm
ers who made crops last season are to-
day enjoying a fair share of prosper
ity from the prevailing high prices of
foodStuffs.
However, they believe present retail
prices are out OF proportion to what
the farmers received for their produce.
Eggs for which the farmers received
IS cents last summer are 40 cents re-
tail now. They were placed in stor-
age. Iowa farmers received 81 or $3.50
for a bushel of potatoes. The retail
price of potatoes here .oday is 1925 a
bushel.
The farmers prefer present condi-
tions Of dollar corn, dollar eighty wheat
and record prices for hogs and steers
than low prices. even though hired la
Dor, wire fences, drain tiles, imple.
ments and virtually every other ele-
ment in farming costs them more.
Nearly every other wa farmer has
an automobile. The number who have
heating plants, gas or electric lights in
their homes and who are building mod
ern homes is increasing at an unusual
rate. Even tenant farmers have auto
mobiles.
MEANS HIGH LIVESTOCK.
Farmers who feed dollar corn to their
livestock have to get u biz price for
the animals when shipped to market.

Good crops of wheat were raised In

farmers sold their wheat at $1.20 a

low the present price, was a third more
than the 1o-year average for wheat
there.
Although practically every Iowa grain,
vegetable, fruit and other farm crop
last season was below the previous
year, the value of last seasons crops
was much greater. To this crop short
age nearly every farmer and middle
man here ascribed the present high
retail prices to manipulation and com
