grass family will make it more easy for
our readers to comprehend the great
service to mankind rendered by the
grass family. In their variety they
supply the varied forces necessary to
build up the animal body, namely the
bones, muscles and fat.
The number of individual species in
the family Is probably not yet accu-
rately Rscertained. AS early as 1925
scientists had agreed that there were
ut least 812 species. Other and more
recent writer's give the number as in
excess Of 1900. Spectators, Judging
the grasses growing in the unexplored
regions of the earth by those in sections
OF the earth already known, judge the
number to be not less than 5000.
There is great difference in the ap-
pearance of grasses. Some would
never be recognized as grasses at all.
An example is our Indian corn, one Of
the most valuable of all grasses. Also
there Is great difference between the
grasses in different zones. The tropi-
cal grasses sometimes grow to such
height that they assume the appear
ance Of trees. Some of them, of the
species Bambusa, attain a height of
sixty feet. The leaves of grasses in

the tropics are broader than those OF
grasses native to the temperate zones.
Sorghum is an example Of the tropical
grass, and bamboo, one of the giant
grasses.
Among our grasses may be named In
dian corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice,
broom-corn, sugar-cane, millet, and
long list of cultivated grasses, like tim
othy and red top. The list is simply
too long to be enumerated in its en-
tirety. We need not call the attention
Of the reader to the immense CONNER
cial value of the grasses. What is the
immense corn crop of this year worth
to agriculture? How much all the pas
turage and hay in the United States
alone?

change of numerous kilograms between
the representatives of the powers and
their respective governments, lasting
nearly all day Saturday and this rnwn-

action of the porte Is inadequate to deal
with the state of anarchy prevailing In
Anatolia.
1t Is known that the sultan refuses to
believe that the powers are In accord
as to The action to be taken in case Of
the porte's failure to restore order in

quiet with the exception of few minor
disturbances with Indians who show an
inclination to get drunk under the new
order of things. A former Indian police
man and an Indian had fight near

trouble thus far. All day Sunday the
Indians counciled at Young's Chiefs

the expenses of a delegation to go to

taliation for alleged wrongs and indis-
Greet remarks attributed to Chief No

from the reservation and telegraphed
General Otis, Vancouver that all was
quiet. He says his stay on the reserva-
tion is indefinite.
