President Wilson pardoned two
soldiers found guilty of sleeping
while on sentry duty and condemned
to death. He also committed the
sentences of two others who had
been given the death penalty for
disobeying orders. The latter two
will serve chort sentences in Fort
Leavenworth when they are brought
back from France.
A commercial agreement between
the United States and Norway was
signed in Washington whereby the
two countries will furnish oil the

The United States formally denied
that American aviators are crossing
to Europe on hospital ships. The
reason the State Department took
notice of Berlin's charges is the be-
lief that the Huns will use this
charge as an excuse for attacking
Red Cross ships.
The allotment of meat purchases
for the Army, Navy, and Marine
Corps and the allies has been con-

Feed Well the Dairy Cow.

Turnips can be grown in abund-
ance, in any section of Tennessee,
and will provide palatable succulent
feed for the dairy cows. One will
need 1 to " tons per COW. Feed
them just after milking, If necessary,
to avoid Objectionable flavor in the
milk. II one has no silage nor sub
stitute, it will be necessary to in
crease the amount of hay to " tons
per COW.
1t is very necessary to have the
the legume hays. OF course other
other kinds of hay may be used but
since they have little protein in them
it would be necessary to use much
more of the protein concentrates
which would have to be bought and
brought to the farm. And too, if
grain should be very scarce, the
legume hay with silage would make
pretty good ration without grain.
Supply the cows with water of a
reasonable temperature, preferably
fresh from we'll or spring, house
them Comfortably in clean, well
ventilated barn and give them a
chance to use the maximum amount
of their feed in the production OF
that most complete and valuable
human food, milk.

War Figures.


Editors Commercial: 1t is said
that the following named nations
are in the war against Germany:
China, Greece, Siam, Cuba, Belgium,
France, Italy, Liberia, United States,
Great Britain, Montenegro, Japan,
Panama, Portugal, Roumania, Rus
STA, Servia, San Marno.
The following nations 1t is said
are in line with Germany: Austria,
Turkey, Bulgaria, Germany.
Figures, considered in the main
correct as to the number of soldiers
bearing arms in the war, put the
number at 38,000,000 men. On the
side of the allies the number is
27,50O,000. The number as given as
on the side Of the central powers is
100000 men. The above men
toned figures ere according to the
latest War Department compilations,
and while these figures are not re-
garded by the military experts as en-
tirely correct, they represent in
round numbers the comparative
strength of the contending armies.
In Leslie's Magazine may be found
something like the following as
founding otatements:
The combined expense on both
sides during the first three years
amounted to 10000 900, and
this sum will be increased to $780,
900, 100000 if the war continues till
August 1, 1918.
This vast sum of money would
build 400 Panama canals, would
build a railroad long enough to en-
circle the earth at the equator go
times. If put in one dollar bills,
placed end wise it would reach
around the earth 757 times. The
war is now costing the United States
$5O,000,000 every day, and this
shows what the nations must pay
as the price of Germany's madness.

Wheat.-The wheat trade is anx-
iously awaiting the decision Of the food
administration as to how much scope
will be given the established grain
trade in handling the new crop. It has
been announced that it is the intention
of the food administration to let bust
ness revert to its usual channels
just as socn as conditions permit, but
just how far this will be allowed this
season is not yet apparent. NIillers
will be allowed to purchase their own
supplies in the open market but
whether the grain trade will have
hand in handling export wheat has not
been announced. In some quarters 1t is
thought that the size of the crop will
result in considerable elasticity in
prices, but whether or not this will be
sufficiently broad to make it profitable
operation for grain handlers to reastab-
lish their office forces which have been
badly dlsorganized remains to be seen.
Corn.-The corn market broke nearly
cents bushel from an early advance,
and at the close of the day was 1Nc to
21sc net lower. There was heavy SELL
ing on reports OF cooler weather, with
rains over large part Of the belt, and
the action OF the market gave the i'm
preston that the technical position had
been weakened and that shorts were
quite we'll evened up. Reports from
Chicago said that the real cause of the
recent sharp upturn was an underlying
fear that there will be a scarcity Of
corn to be applied on July and August
contracts. The point was brought out
that the greater part Of Chicago stocks
arc in private elevators and not avail
able for delivery The cash demand In
the West was apparently slow, except
for the best grades. The Eastern de-
mand was distinctly dull.

In d ustrials
Cotton

A subsistence of near-month covering
proved the signal for liquidation and
more active selling on more favorable
new crop prospects in the cotton mar
ket here to-day. July led the early
break, but was relatively steady later,
with new crop deliveries reaching the
lowest prices in the late trading. The
close was steady at net decline of
81 to 70 points.
Private advices attributed the sudden
break in July at New Orleans to the
recent reduction in short interest ard
liquidation in advance of the notice S
which may be issued early next week.
Liverpool buying of July has been a
feature here for several days past,
but the impression is that the interest
is still considerable and that very few
notices are likely to be issued next
Tuesday. This probably accounted for
the slightly steadier ruling of the near
month during the afternoon. Light
showers or rains were reported in East
ern belt sections, but following few
days of clear weather they were con-
sidered more beneficial than otherwise.
Selling of new crops was also encour-
aged BY expectations that the weekly
report of the Weather Bureau to-day
would make very favorable showing.
ENCOURAGING spot advices and the
larger exports seemed 20 make little
or no impression on sentiment, and
there was not much demand from trade
sources. Business In the goods market
is still restricted, pending definite
action on price fixing proposals. The
few manufacturers who are accepting
