Number 4 to Blame

The official probe has been made
but no public statement as to its
findings has been published. Yet
sufficient facts have developed to
show that train No. 4 was respon-
siole for the terrible wreck near
Nashville, an account of which
appeared last week. Number 4
should not have left the double
tract until the passing of train No.
l, and Conductor Eubanks on No.
4 admits that he relied upon other
members of the crew to ascertain
the passing of No. /. He also had
a green" fiagman, who failed to
know or do his duty. 1t looks to
have been a piece of unfortunate
carelessness upon part of the crew
of No. 4.

was postponed by congress Satur-
urday until August 26 at least.

by the senate to defer until August
26, further consideration of the
100000 emergency food pro-
duction bill, containing the amend
ment for ''bone dry" war time pro-

when congress finishes its recess
and gets down to business again.
A very strong fight, however, is
being made against the passage of

$3.50 THE YEAR
FAIR TO GOOD
Cotton Growth Somewhat Re-
tarded by Dry Weather

Cotton made fair progress during
the last week of June and the FIRST
two weeks in July, according to
Commercial Appeal correspondents
Hot, dry weather in many sections
retarded growth, but made the
best of cultivation possible, checked
poll weevil activity and promoted
root growth. A few reported
top blooming.
The crop in Mississippi seems
to have improved in condition,
while in Texas the condition has
been reduced slightly. There was
little change in the prospects of
other states. Insects have done
some damage.
The greater part of the northern
and eastern portion of the cotton
region received more than an inch
of rain during the last week in
June, but there were only light
rains over most of the belt since
that time, except locally. Tenn
perature generally were above nor
NAL, but nights were too cool 10
the eastern belt.
Complaint of labor shortage was
universal, Excellent weather for
field work is given credit for the
high state of cultivation which
everywhere prevails. Fears are
expressed that there will not be
enough labor to gather the crop.
The plant appears healthy, even
where it is too small, and is fruit
ing we'll.
Correspondents reported a some
what lower condition in Tennessee,
but the crop, almost uniformly,
made excellent progress, and far
mers are enthusiastic over the
prospects. Boil weevil has ap.
peared ln some fields, and a Deca-
tur county correspondent sends in
a sample of the work of the pest.
Some report damage from rust,
and there is a general need for rain.
A great deal of laying by has been
done. Cultivation has been better
than usual, Notwithstanding COM
plants of labor shortage.

STAYS ON his JOB
Congressman Sims VIII Not Come
Home Before Primary

Congress has taken recess and
many Of the members have gone to
their homes to look after their poll
teal fences. Mr.. Sims has announced
that he will stay in Washington and
will not visit his district before the
primary.
Judge Sims stated that the primary
election was only two weeks off and
If he should return now he would not
have time to more than make fly
ing trip through the district; also
that there are no issues Of principle
between himself and his competitor,
and that his record is we'll known.
He further said that the present pro-
gram Of three days recesses was
adopted by the house to give the ways
and means committee and other COM
mittees time to conduct hearings and
give consideration to important adj
ministration bills.
There are four such bills before
Mr.. Sims committee, one amending
the alien property law, another to
establish an international trademark,
a third to prevent commercial piracy
and a fourth to give effect to certain
provisions of the treaty for the pro-
lection of trade marks and CONNER
cial names signed at Buenos Aires in
1910. This service will require Judge
Sims entire time from now until
August 10, when the house will again
begin consideration of the water
power bill.

ing the government guaranteed
minimum wheat price at 50 40 a
bushell, the president informed
congress that he did not believe the
farmers of America depend upon
a stimulation Of price to do their
utmost to serve the nation aad the
world at this time of crisis"
The president said the patriotic
spirit of the farmers has been
worthy of all praise and has
shown them playing most admir-
able and gratifying part in the full
mobilization of the country" He
added that the bumper crops they
have raised this year have relieved
THE anxiety of the nations ar
rayed against Germany with re-
gard to their food supplies. "
A fixed minimum price of so 40
a bushel, the president said, would
increase the price of -four from
$1,000 to $3.50 a barrel and would
put an additional burden of $751;.
100000 this year on the consum.
ers. Sucn increase in price, is
said, would force a similar in
crease in Canada, thus charging
the whole scale of financial op-
perations in this country by the
allied governments and etffcting
practically the entire world.
The bill finally passed with this
cause elimin ated, leaving the fixed
minimum price of wheat at 1920
