CHICAGO. July 19.-Heavy rains in parts of
Kansas and Oklahoma had a bearish influence
today the corn market, but offerings on the
break that took place quickly absorbed
that the market rcbounded and developed nota-
tie strength. The scarcity of corn for imne-
diate delivery appeared to give bulls an advan-
tage. and lifted the September delivery TO the
highest point yet this season. Opening prices,
which ranged from &c off to &c up, with
September at $l.61 to S1.6l2 and December
at S1.14 TO Sl.l4a4, were followed by general
upturn 10 well above yesterdays finish
Fresh peace gossip late in the session brought
about something of a reaction in corn. The

CHAPLAIN FUTCHER
DOING GREAT WORK
Spiritual Overseer of 1O9th
infantry Holds Services For
Various Faiths.

Il
| One of the most efficient chaplains
! in the United States Army is Chap
| lain Futcher Of the Tooth Infantry.
When not in army work, Chaplain
Futcher is. pastor Of a Methodist Epis-
copal Church at PhoeRixyille. near
Philadelphia.
For several years, he has been chap
lain of the First Infantry. now the
109th, and his experience with the men
in the national guard camps and on the
border last year, have given him an
expert knowledge of the needs of the
men in the army. And he is meeting
those needs.
Upon the return of the regiment
from Texas, Chaplain Futcher enlisted
the aid of some well known Philadel-
phians in q plan to raise fund for the
welfare Of the soldiers and as re-
suit of his initiative, the sum Of $4,000
was given in small amounts fer this
commendabie work.
This money is disbursed among the
various units from Philadelphia and as
result, the infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery from Philadelphia have their
own motion picture outfit, library
of 1000 carefully selected books, fifty
motion picture films, stereoptieon
slides and athletic equipment for every
company.
Probably the two most noteworthy
activities of Chaplain Futcher have
been the distribution of pocket testa-
ments and the holding Of services for
the Jews in the First regiment. On
the authority of Mr.. Davis head OF the
Pocket Testament League, Chaplain
Futcher holds the worlds record for the
distribution of. testaments. More than
1900 have been given to the members
of the old First regiment, and now that
the 109th consists of 1850 men, there
will be an increase in the number.
The service for the Jews, of whom
there are probably sixty in the old reg
iment is one of the most unique in this
army So far as known, Chaplain
Futcher is the only man holding spe-
cial services for the jews The Sol
diers' Leisure Hour Fund, which the
chaplain raised, has supplied Jewish
prayer books and every Sunday morn
ing at II o'clock, the chaplain meets
his Jewish boys" and conducts the
Service. giving a short address on Old
Testament history. Opportunity is
also given the Catholic priest to hold
mass once a month in the chaplain's
tent for the Catholic boys" as tho
chaplain speaks of his men.
In addition to this, the chaplain SUI
pervises the entertainments and a pro-
gram is given every night in the week.
On Sunday nights, he has been giving
Illustrated talks, including Ben Hur,'
THE Passion Play" and other noted
subjects Last week he was called
upon to perform a marriage ceremony
in the Motor Supply Train and also
baptised the child of Lieut.. and Mrs.
Ripple, of the tooth Infantry.
There are also the administrative af-
fairs to be looked after, the welfare OF
dependents, the pleas of-the prisoners
and many other things and with it all,
Chaplain Futcher always has time to
be courteous and kindly to visitors as
well as the men.

COTTON MILL EXPERT
 COMING THIS WEEK
Jo Nichol, Cashier of the Simmons National Bank. Says Local Capital
 Can Build Cotton Mills.

"Pine Bluff is the logical place for the location of a cotton mill, and thero is sufficient local capital to establish the enterprise," said Jo Nichol. cashier of the S7:.lsons Ma tional bank, who was not in the city when the interviews on the subject of building plant of this nature in Pine Bluff, were obtained.
 Hc added:
 "Pine Bluff is the logical place for all kinds of industries."
 MT. Nichol said he always felt that the city should have more industries especially cotton mills. He stated that industries of every kind will help the city in it's growth and develop ment and will improve every local interest.
 A meeting with an expert on the subject was to have been held last week at the chamber of commerce but was postponed on account of the absence of A. w. Nusn Leo M. An drews and Frank Tomlinson, who were in New York on business. These gentlemen are expected to return in | time for the meeting to be held on Wednesday, of this week.
 Every indication favors the organi- zation of local company for the pur- pose of establishing cotton mill in Pine Bluff. Since the first announce nent of tho project by H. c. Couch, nresident of the Arkansas Light & Power company. who stated to rep resentative of The Graphic that he Twas ready to go into the matter with his associates. and if local capital would go in. they would use their in: fluence with outside capital. local capitalists have been said to express ed a readiness to acquiesce.

ONLY ONE IN FIFTEEN
 KILLED IN BIG WAR

Boston. Mass, Sept. Roger Bab- son. the noted Wellesley statistician, has figured out the chance each man has of being wounded or killed in the present war. His data shows that fourteen out of every fifteen so far have been safe.
 Under present conditions, where man power is being conserved, no more than one in thirty is killed Only in 800 loses a limb, chance no greater than in hazardous conditions at home. "
 BabsOn's conclusions aie based on the French srmy figures for the full three years of war. Attention is call cd to the fact that the present fight ing is not claiming anywhere the num- Der of dead recorded for the first two years He says: Most of the wounds sustained in the trenches are clean cut and of nature that few weeks in the hospital makes the subject as fit as ever. But 3OG.0o0 French sol ladiers have been discharged on account of wounds in the three years of the war. Most of the wounds received in the trenches are on top of the head, Scalp wounds. Generally speaking a wound is either fatal or slight, with but few in between these extremes"

The fire department yesterday was called upon to handle two eXceptfan- ally big jobs, alnd the manner in which they performed brought for them gen eral praise from business men and citizens, and especially from the men whose property was jeoparGized by the flames.
 Along Main street, during the Froug fire. there were many men high in business circles to publicly congrat- ulate Fire Chief Briener for not only conflning the fire to the building where it originated, but for handling it ill such excellent manner as to hold the loss to minimum.
 Dick Knox said last night that the officers of the KnoXWalker Furni- lure company were loud in praise of the fireboys for their very excellent work in that blaze.
 ".There are larger fire departments, but nowhere is there department more capable, or which does better work in fighting fires" he said. Chief Biicner also is an exceptionally cap able fire fighter"
 MT. Walker said also that the fire at the warehouse of the company would not affect its business, as it has a big store stocked with goods and also has another warehouse, so that it is able to handle it's regular trade without delay.

 The matter was taken up before United States Commissioners Burnett, who said Ewing could go Oh his own recoGn1zance to appear before the federal district court
 Ewing served nine months in the British army. but the cause of his coming to America could not be ascer- taincd.
 Grand Jury Condcmuaiory.
 The Jefferson county grand jury severely criticised conditions on the farm in a report delivered d few days ago. This report called attention also to a preceding report, which also had pointed out conditions at the farm which that body deemed neces- sary to remedy for humane reasons.

pouring into the building and the fire, like that on Main street, was under control within an hour
 Dick Knox of the Walker company stated last night that he es- timated the damage to the building and contents at approximately $10,00O. Virtually total loss of the furniture in the building was reported by him. MT. Knox stated that the contents were protected by blanket insurance poli- cies, which cover the company's store and other warehouses, but because of the advance in cost of furniture, the insurance will not provide for dupli- cation of the property destroyed.
 One Fireman Overcome.
 E. H. Sinclair of Fire company No. l, was overcome by heat and smoke during the fire at the furniture ware- house, and was taken to hospital, where he was given medical treat ment. Late last night it was stated that he was resting we'll and would recover. For a while it was feared that Sinclair was in a dangerous con- dition because of having Swallow ed' so much smoke.
