BEER MAKING DETRIMENTAL TO FARMERS Arguments on Manufacture of Intoxicants Are Now Answered NATIONAL GRANGE ISSUES STATEMENT Executive Committee Takes Stand—Long Sup- ported Dry Cause WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 1.— Arguments that the manufacture of beer would help the American farmer have been answered by the National Grange with a statement by the Executive Committee that a return to beer would hurt the farmer. The National Grange numbers more than 8,000 farmers from every state in the Union. It is represented that the Grange has long supported the dry cause. The Executive Committee is meet- ing to deal with the agricultural crisis and Louis Taber, National Grange Master, sald: “It is tragic to find so-called national leaders pressing for beer to combat de- pression. This has been studied by the National Grange and results show conclusively that resumption of the brewing industry in the United States would be detrimental to interstate agriculture.” SHARE PRICES UP, THEN DOWN, RALLY FINALL Buying a—;d—l.iquidnting Are Cross Currents Today's Trading NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Share pric- es fluctuated feverishly between cross currents today of buying and liquidating ending the session with a rally which -cancelled much of the sharp afternoon decline, some of the leading issues showing small ain. $ The session was one of the most active in months, the turnover ex- ceeding 3,500,000 shares.

Both teams played errorless ball. A four-run rally in the third inning, after two were out, and a blasting homerun by Al' Simmons in the seventh with Cochrane on first spelled victory for the Am- erican League champions who came here today in search of a third successive World's Series champion- ship. \ Spot Cards Two - And they showed their gameness by spotting the Cards two runs in the first frame. That was the only runs the National League champs could muscle out of Groves, Mack's spectacular left-handed ace. The Redbirds hit him often enough to win an ordinary ball game, but after the opening stanza, he was stingy when hits meant runs. He pitched masterly ball, fanning sev- en and walking and hitting none. His control was perfect. Derringer, 8treet's selection for the opener, started out like a sure winner. He fanned Bishop and Haas for the first two outs and Cochrane'’s best effort was a weak grounder to short. In the second Simmons’ ground- er was taken by Gelbert easily who tossed Al' out at first, and § E i i faltered before the Mackmen's troops.
