Prohibition, the other big issue in

Bcant attention from the vote counters
and the fate of the drastic dry" ordi.
nance remains uncertain, though the
probability is that it has been de.
leated. On the East Side. Harriman's
stronghold. there was falling off in
the vote. The women on the West
Side out-voted the men. The reverse
was true in the precincts where Har.
riman was the stronger in the primary.
But the balance Of power. which the
women were credited with having,

case, did not figure in the result.

OF bankers, lawyers, storekeepers and
realty brokers. On the defeated So.
sialist ticket, besides Hartman. the
lawyer, there were one negro junk

Value Of Grass.

? Grass is soil protector, a soil re-
newer and soil builder. Covering
the land with grass Is natures way OF
restoring fertility to old, worn.out soil.
True grasses do not add nitrogen to
the soil, as do clover and alfalfa. yet
they are nitrogen gatherers. They
collect the nitrogen Of the soil and
store 1t up In their roots. and by the
decay Of these roots humus Is formed.
Thus grasses prevent the waste Of nj.
trogen and other plant food elements.
protect the soil and maintain Its fer
tility and tllth. BY their extensive
and penetrating root systems many
grasses tend to break up and to deep.
en- the soil, thus improving Its TEXTURE
and increasing its moisture.holding ca.
pacity. The roots gather the mineral
plant food In the deeper subsoil and
store It. In part, In the great fibrous
root growth nearer the surface. This
causes an increase In the supply Of
available plant food in the soil for the
use OF more shallow roofing crops.

A platform Of inch boards held to-

An ordinary trace chain is strong

The report shows the greatest de-.
cline In the condition Of crops during

slump throughout the country. due to
drought and intense heat.
Taking into account both acreage
and condition, Indications are that the
wheat crop will be Al per cent. less
than the average annual production Of
the last five years. Corn will be 7 per
cent. less, oats 1913 per cent. less.
barley 1862 per cent. less, buckwheat
8.S per cent. less, potatoes 21.9 per
cent. less, tobacco 25.5 per cent. less,
