Over Production a Myth

Is there any danger of overproduc-
ton?
The New York State Food Supply
commission says: "Some farmers have
feared over production This fear
might be justified were it not for the
conditions in Europe. All of Europe is
approaching famine conditions, and
there is no chance that farmers of
Europe can give the care necessary for
the production of the best crops. Large
quantities of food are being lost at sea.
The worlds reserve OF food is probably
the lowest in history. The grain on
farms in the United States on March
l, is 7O0,0OO,0 900 below last year. The
quantity in elevators is much short of
last year. The wheat crop that has
just been harvested in New Zealand,
Australia and Argentine is estimated
at only 70 per cent of last years crop.
The winter wheat of the United States
is in poor condition.
eff as low yields Of grains should
occur this year as occurred in 1901 con-
ditions would be very serious. If we
get as good crops as in 1918, which
was the best in twenty years, there
would be no chance of low prices for
grains"

Marketing the Nations Surplus

Already the indications are that this
country will produce this season the
greatest crop of grains, vegetables and
fruits, to say nothing of the hay and
other roughage, that it has ever seen
grown. This is very encouraging and
it should tend to cheer US for the great
struggle that has been the incentive to
this stimulation of production.
But in connection with this there is
yet another problem to be solved-that
of marketing this crop. In ordinary
times this is no small matter. Under
present conditions it assume serious
proportions. But it is something that
will have to be worked out, and the
sooner the intelligence of the country is
put to work on the matter the better
the country will fare.
The average farmer has no trouble
in marketing his staple crops, such as
wheat, corr, potatoes and live stock
at least in normal years. This year,
though, he is liable not to fare so well
even on these. But the small fruits and
vegetables have been rather hard to
dispose of profitably, and will be more
80 this year.
This matter of intelligent marketing
should not be left to chance. Tptelli-
gent efforts should be directed toward
it, and preparations should start at
once.
And right here is where a close COM
munity cooperation will prove of in
valuable service. The average Ameri-
can farmer raises vegetables and fruits
in abundance, and markets them by Sc
lecting what he needs and permitting
the overplus to practically go to waste
at least return to the soil. Surplus
summer fruits and vegetables are hard
to market, but it is right here in this
suplus- that is, in getting it to the
cities, or to the points of country where
it is not produced-that the great est
economy can be practiced.
1t is to a careful marketing of the
surplus perishable products of the
farm that community organizations,
boards of trade and business men all
over the country should direct their at
tention.

CONFIRMS FIRST ANALYSIS.
Substance in Waters Plug Of Tobacco
Was Deadly Poison.

Atlantic, Dec. Additional evidence
that the substance found in the plug
Of tobacco secured by Edward Waters
at Wiota and delivered by him to DR..
C B. Burke for analysis was a
cyanide and poison, was received in
the report from Ebert w. lockwood,
professor of chemistry at the state
lsp~-srsity, who states that the sub
stance Is sodium cyanide.
This establishes the fact that the
powder which was in the tobacco was
deadly poison as determined by DR..
Burke on analysis by him. How the
substance came to- be in the tobacco
is as much OF conjecture as ever. No
reasonable explanation can be OBJ
tanned. Whether put there purposely
or whether by accident there liz no evil
dence to show.
The substance was found in a small
hole on one side of the plug, which
was covered over with the wrapper and
also the metal tag. The first that was
known Of it's presence in the tobacco
was when Mr.. Waters removed the tag
which tore away a part Of the wrapper
disclosing the white SUBSTANCE in a hole
in the side of the plug.

HoNUS WAGNER TO RETIRE.
Grand Old Man Of Baseball Quits
Diamond Came

Louisville. KY, Dec. 1.-Confirma-
ton that Honus Wagner, whom he
characterized as the greatest short
stop Of all time" definitely has retired
from baseball comes from Barney
Drayfuss, owner OF the Pittsburg Ma
tionais.
HE really should not have tried
last season" Drayfuss said "He found
it impossible TO play with the speed
which the fans have grown accustom-
ed TO expect OF Wagner"
"Honus quits the game, to which he
has been credit with probably as
many friends as any ball player ever
had" Drayfuss stated, adding that
Wagner has accumulated competence
and would live in retirement with his
family in a Pittsburgh suburb.
II have every confidence in Hugo
Bezdek TO get results as manager
Drayfuss continued. you probably
know him only as q successful foot
ball player and coach. When he was
signed to manage the team 1t largely
was an experiment but he has shown
that he has good ideas and he will be
given ample backing and time to get
results"

LOSSES IN STORM LAKE FIRE.
Flames Spread Rapidly and Buildings
and Stocks Are DESTROYED.

storm, Lake, Nov. 30.-The fire
which ca-sea G ioss of si53,G in the
the business section of Storm Lake
yesterday is believed to have started
around the furnace in the Obanion
building. 1t quickly spread to the Of
fee and sheds of the Storm Lake
Lumber Company. and across the al
ley TO the Blugosch building, in which
the Masonic temple and the postoffice
are located. Later burning :. embers
were carried two blocks and set fire to
the Chicago. Milwaukee e. st. Paul
station, which burned to the ground.
Owing to the high wind and the
heat from the burning buildings and
the number yards. fremen could not
get close enough to the flames to get
them under control before the brick
buildings in the block had been de-
stroyed. Mail, stamps and records in
the postoffice we're carried to safety
before the fire reached the building.
The losses follow:
e. I. Obanion, building, $1,000.
u. b. Fiscus, furniture stock, $50, 900.

MASON CITY is DROPPED.
West Waterloo Sewers Athletic Rela
tions With Nortberners

tons With Northerners.
Waterloo, Dec. 1,-West high has
severed athletic relations with Mason
City, it was announced yesterday by
members of the faculty, and tho old
rose and black football team will clash
no more with the lads from the north.
The II to 0 defeat sustained this sea-
son by West at the hands Of Mason
City had nothing to do with the course
adopted. 1t was decided several
months ago that the game this year
would be the last between the two
schools.
Mason City has not shown the prop
er spirit in athletics, according to
West officials, and it was thought best
to drop them from the 1918 schedule.
Mason City has a faculty of getting
by with players whose past records
are not entirely clean, 1t is alleged,
and such action is frowned upon here.
Mason City's place on the 1918
football schedule will be easily filled
as several schools are eager to secure
a game. Among the teams being con-
sdered are North Des Moines, Sioux
City. Fort Dodge and Iowa Falls.

Three high school teams today are
claiming the Iowa interscholastic foot
ball championship, and all have more
or less impressive arguments to sup
port their contentious. Two, Marshall
town and Mason City, virtually are ON
an even basis as result of their tie
game but Iowa City, the third claim
ant, has little ground on which to base
a comparison other than by compare
tive scores. Unfortunately, MARSHALL
town was held to a tie with Boone, but
the Boone eleven did not meet either
of the other contenders and therefore
this game fails TO afford COMPARE
son of strength. Nor did Boone. Ma
son City and Iowa City meet any
teams in COMMON,
AS far as the claims of MARSHALL
town and Mason City are concerned
il is generally conceded that they are
on an equal basis. and the strength OF
Iowa City can best be estimated by
comparative scores. BY this process
it will easily be shown that Marshall
town had the better of the argument.
loo by score Of 20 to 0: Iowa City
was held TO scoreless tie by the Wa
terloo eleven. Marshalltown defeated
Oskaloosa, 81 to I, and Iowa City Won
from the Oskaloosa eleven by score
of IA TO l. Cedar Rapids held Iowa
City to a score of Z to 0. and Mar
sshalltown defeated Cedar Rapids
Thursday by a score of Is 10 0. From
this comparison it might be inferred
that Marshalltown was one or two
touchdowns stronger than the boys
from the university town.
Iowa City. of course, calls atten-
ton TO the Marshalltown- Boone tie,
but having been tied by Waterloo,
which had lost to Marshalltown, it
can not show any convincing right TO
superiority
Joint Championship Claim.
Apparently Narshalltown and Mason
City have a joint championship claim,
except that Marshalltown followers
Will always feel that they were robbed
of the victory on the Mason City field.
The Mason City dopesters have juSgled
figures. computed the value of COM
parative scores and resorted to every
possible recourse to show that Mason
City Is undisputed champion, but not
once have the same dopesters alluded
to the Marshalltown claim Of unfairness
on the part OF officials. Therefore,
this failure to repudiate the charge
must be taken as an admission OF the
accusation. Rumors as to the cause
for the time OF the quarters being
heightened having something to do
with the betting on the game, have
been investigated here and may result
in a more complete inquiry.
AS the matter now stands il seems
probable that the controversy will
close with three towns claiming the
title, with towns having no claim
respecting the claims Of one or the
other as they see fit.
