Omen Winters,

When snow covers the ground 1t pre-
serves vegetable life without develop

Vegetables. cereals in particular. can
endure considerable lowering Of tenn
perature if the fall of snow precedes
the frost. Ground planted to wheat can
pass through IL period when the tenn
perature falls far below zero If the
snow covers it WELL While rain brings
to the ground aZote in the form of am
monia or nitric acid, snow enriches the
soil in much greater proportion. A liter
of rainwater contains much less fer

of hoarfroSt or melted snow. and when

Davis International Tennis Cup

Wimbledon, July 27.-Whether the
Dwight l.. Davis international lawn
tennis trophy shall remain in Eng

matches in singles to be played, to-
morrow ON the historic Wimbledon
courts. Two games are ON the sched-
ule, Maurice T.. Mclaughlin, Cali
fornia against Charles r. Dixon, Eng
land and L. Norris Williams, Phila-
delphia against John c. Parke, Ire

call for the best three in five matches
wor, a victory by either Mclaughlin
or Williams will give the Americans

The Americans already have an adj

won to one game won by the English
men-Williams having defeated Dixon
in the singles, Friday, and McLoush

against Mclaughlin is not likely to
prevail against Williams, who has a
stronS back hand stroke and expert

make him the equal of the Irishman
in ground strokes.
The English critics in the Sunday
newspapers were unstinted in theil
praise of the game played by Nc

terest in what the conferences at Wash.
ington between President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan and Ambassa-

That the Mexican government desires
to hold in check anti-American feeling

publish no rumors or confirm news of a
character likely to arouse the people OF
the United States.
