amounting to Sill 900 obtained from
the City Trust. All except $26,500
had been paid back by September

retained most of the commissions
on all stock underwriting done by
the institution" Brown said.

$4,000 insurance policy as security
for notes owed by Brown, it was
disclosed.

gallery is in the rear. Along each
side wall light oak panels run hair

broken by doors which open into
corridors outside. Small grillwork
makes a tiny balcony at each door.
The platform seats more than

The prowess of crop curtailments mightiest al lies has just been forcbly shown. They drought and heat and they have scourged the harvest fields with long unbroken ferocity.
 The extent of that ravage, spread over much of continent, is appraised in the Governments crop report based upon conditions at the advent | of August. It portrays the devastation in the harvest fields the hot of this past season travelled from West to East. Corn and wheat alike suffered
 Virtually the only redress that apparently the maximum of damage had been wrought in wheat prior to July. Last month Winter wheat actually improved a pittance of 100000 bushels, while the Spring wheat promise decreased a single million The total yield of exactly half-billion bushels of all wheat, Winter and Spring is easily the lowest in than generation, since the 427 ,0000 900 of 1893-40 years ago. In 1915 the total reached as high as 025 000 000 bushels, and many intervening years ranged well above 80O0O0000 The present lf-billion indi- cation is also sadly shrunken from the five year average in 192630 of 86l 000000 Here is the direct primary why wheat is selling a little above dollar bushel-for such farmers as have it to sell
 Likewise we had nationally become accustomed | to seeing great farm crop, corn approaching three billion bushels Three times it actually cross ed that magic line by slight margins, in 1912, 1917 and 1921 Now the promise is reported as low as 2273000y00o. This is distinctly below the 1882 harvest of 2,876,0O0,0OO bushels. The story is repeated in oats, which often had held up when other major crops languished. At 667 100000 bushels the indication is far from under the five-year average of 1,090000,000, and has to go back to the eighties to find total down near 7O00000O0 Here is also the cause of oul milk shortage.
