C., June 29.—The Interstate Commerce Commission to- day suspended. until October 28, 1917, the proposed general 15 per cent increase in railroad freight rates. Commissioner McChord dissented and Commissioner Meyer dissented in part. Commissioner McChord said: “The issue’is in reality rather one of governmental policy than a ques- tion whether the rates sought are reasonable for the service of trans- portation.” The commission, decision, said: “We are led to the conclusion that announcing the “BOR SALE BY ALL LIVE DEALERS.” Gluten Feed.... 21.6 80.7 | cials maintaited silence 2g: to the ex- : a pedition or the plans for future move- . 5 Gluten Meal.... 31.7 ne ments of ore to anppott the ad- ‘ Corn Bran......' 5.8 73.1" vance guar Pr Vi Wheat ........ 9.2 80.1 Marine Corps’ officer: were eager Red Dog Flour.. 14.8 79.2 to learn whether the regiment: of sea, Flour Mid. ..... 15.7 78.2 7% soldiers under, Col, Doyen’ which Standard Mid... 13.4 69.8 formed part of the initial force, was ¢ boliger Sigg ed bial first to land.

The application made several weeks ago by the roads asking for an increase of the intrastate rates to the level of inter-state rates is super- seded by the latest application filed. STRAW SHOULD BE SPREAD, (National Crop Improvement Service.) The feeding value of straw being comparatively low, and the fertilizing value being high, all straw should be spread upon the fields and not burned or wasted. The use of straw to pre- vent winter-killing of wheat is ney, well established. THE DAIRY RATION ¢ A date for the hearing of! the appli- Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on no condition of emergency cxists as to the Western and Southern carriers, which would justify permitting a gen- eral increase in their rates to become effective. “All of the tariffs included in this proceeding of the Western lines will be suspended, - All of the tariffs in- cluded in this proceeding of the Southern carriers will be suspended, excepting those applying on coal, coke and iron ore.” “In the Eastern districts increased rates have recently been permitted to become effective generally on bitu- minous coal, coke and iron ore. We think that similar increases may Properly be permitted in the South- ern district on coal, coke and iron ore, and in the Western district on coal and coke. In the Southern district the pro- posed increased rates,on coal are on the basis of 15 per cent, with a max- imum of 15 cents a ton. These tar- iffs we shall permit to become ef- fective. “In the Westem district the in- creases are based upon 15 per cent, cation has not yet been fixed by the commission, but it probably will be set for July 12. The present intrastate freight rates are not compensatory, the railroads assert, and with the constantly in- creasing cost of material and labor they will be unable to give the char- actef of service that will be demand- ed of them in the handling of their ordinary business plus military re- quirements unless there is an in- crease of 15 per cent over the exist- ing schedules. The railroads declare the working of the Adamson law is entailing a greater burden upon them than the present rates will justify. Account of Variation of Ingredients, (Nations) Crop Improvement Service.) For many years feeders have -en- deavored to use so-called standard tables showing the theoretical num- ber of pounds each of so-called di- gestible protein, fats and carbohy- drates. These methods are fatally defective for the following reasons: First, the tables call for so much digestible food. If there was such a thing as digestible food it might fur- nish a basis to go by, but digestible food is really apparently digestible food, in that # disappears in the body. Just what use is made of it is not al- ways clear. Some of it turns into gas, some is converted into heat, and much of it is used in the labor of digesting and handling the food. In the case of straw and similar material, nearly all of its energy is used up in the labor of digesting it, leaving little or no net gain: Straw: should be re- turned to the soil. Take two samples of dried barley grains, each contain- ing the same amount of digestible food, and one will give twenty more POTATOES DOWN 65 CENTS ' Wholesale Prices in Chicago Dropped to Lowest this Year. Chicago, June 27.—Wholesale Prices of potatoes here dropped 40 to 65 cents a bushel today to the low- with minimum of 15 cents per ton. These tariffs will be suspended, but the Western carriers may, if they so elect, file new tariffs, carrying in- creases in rates on coal and coke not exceeding in any case 15 cents_per. ton, The commission declared its, will- ingness to meet any situation which may arise in case the fears of the failroads of heavily decreased in- comes are realized. , Approximately 2§ per cent of the freight tonnage jn eastern territory moves under’ class rates and the in- creases, officials estimated, would amount to perhaps a 2 or 3 per cent increase in gross revenue for east: ern carriers. The. commission declared its will- ingness: to’ increase class rates be- est level_of this year. Receipts were only sixty cars and sales were made at $2.40 and $2.65 as compared with Tuesday’s sales at $2.90 and $3.20. There are. three hundred cars of po- tatoes in the yards here awaiting an outlet. They have been on the track here for more than a week while prices have - dropped eighty cents to one dollar a bushel. St. Louis, Mo., June 27.—The price of new potatoes dropped with a thud today, falling between forty and fifty cents a bushel at the houses along commission row. The reason given for the sudden fall: by the dealers was the arrival of ‘seventy-five wag- on loads of new potatoes from nearby. points in Illinois and the. therms or heat units than the other. One hundred pounds of digestible equal to eighty pounds derived from grain, so'if we add together things which are unlike, we get no tangible results.

It will eliminate some delay in making the State troops ready for the front. There has been much speculation as to use to be made of the National Guard. The existing units and those now that are ready for Federal in- spection and recognition, comprise the skeleton of 16 infantry divisions. Under present distribution by states, there would not be more than four or five divisions complete enough’ to deserve that name. It seems jlikely that redistribution and consolidation of the forces must be undertaken soon after they pass into the Federal service under the draft clause of the national defense act. Probably 12 or more. complete infantry divisions could then be or- ganized, with the cavalry employed dismounted, At: full war strength the existing regiments would represent a total force of probably 350,000 men. Of that number at least one-third are fairly well seasoned troops. In the judgment of army officials this will furnish splendid nucleus to train the men and insure the. rapid passage of the entire force through the elementary stages of its military education. The fact that guard camps are to be of canvas seems to indicate that it is not expected to keep them in train- ing on this side of the ocean for an extended period. Additional training for numerous guard artillery units soon willbe in progress also at the various officers’ training camps. At least a battalion of field artillery has been ordered, to each camp in order that the artillery officer candidates for the. national army. may have the means of learn- ing the things they must later teach |. to the new forces. In’ the process valuable training will be giver to the ttalions which will stand in good stead when they reach The greatest problem that faces the War Department is to: find sup- pees for the steadily increasing host ' National Guardsmen, State officials have been. notified is easier when in the co-operation eechived at ee there is unquestioned confidence. ; , - STRONG, experienced, responsible, this Iiistitation places ie ets _ at the command of enlisted men jhe | banking service of ab- : : solute dependability. : Sth STANDING shoulder to shoulder with the Nation's detend! ers, always active in patrons’ interests; there is positive assurance that our handling of the alfairs of those who go to war will be characterized by the ttmost safety and. a ficiency.
