CORN MARKET
MUCH STRONGER
Continued Hot Dry Weather
Tends to Raise Price
of Grain.

Chicago, June 2s.-Fresh strength
developed in the corn market today
largely as a result of continued hot
dry weather in the southwest The
fact that arrivals here were not liber-
al, tended further to make traders
uneasy ver possible difficulties in re-
gard to deliveries on July contracts.
Offerings were readily absorbed.
Opening prices which varied from un-
changed figures to $3.50 higher with
July $1.46 1-2 to $1.47 and August
$1.49 to 1-2 were followed by decid-
ed gains all around and then some
thing of a reaction.
Oats reflected the strength Of corn.
Most of the business was local. After
opening shade to 1-2c higher with
August 6S 1-S to 5-8 the market
scored a moderate additional upturn.
Provisions advanced with corn and
hogs.

THE SOLDIERS RELIGION.

ic: The soldier regards God as the
intelligence that martials the moral
forces Of all time, but as an intelli-
gence. like his generals, to be trust
ed, rather than understood; and he
regards a blind and unquestioning
obedience to this direction as the in
dividuars only possible contribution
to the ultimate victory. His religion
is therefore first, absolute trust. and
then, absolute submission. The inn
mediacy Of the fighters need makes
It easier for him to attain these two
than for US. whose incor-
poration OF creed in conduct is not
so instant a constraint; but the re-
ligion at the front and at home has
the same frankly intuitive character.

Every government official knows
that dozens of hospitals and hospital
ships have been wantonly destroyed
by the Germans. But many people in
neutral countries and ever occasional
poorly informed Americans still
doubt this. The Germans must ap-
preciate the value for propaganda
purposes of permitting a single ship,
or which the eyes Of the world are
turned, to escape destruction in the
submarine one Wounded men who
return on the Comfort. therefore.
need have little fear of torpedoes.

GOOD BOOKS WANTED
FOR BOYS OVERSEAS

ATLANTA, GA.-The American
Library Association has sent out a
cali for books for the soldiers over
seas, and asks that everybody help in
the movement to supply the men in
khaki with reading matter.
Already 100000, books have gone
overseas, but the fighters on the line
have developed an insatiate appetite
for reading that the number is made
quate to their needs. The call of the
Association throws an interesting
light on the class of books most pop
ular over there. 1t asks for new nov
els OF good tone, stories of the west
land and stories by Zane Grey, Rex
Beach, O. Henry, and others, showing
that the war-wearied mind Graves d.
version. 1t recalls the fact that
Woodrow Wilson's great mental di-
version is the reading of detective
stories.
The Library Association states that
it needs several hundred thousand
books, so everybody has a chance to
help. The books should be sent in
to the nearest Carnegie or public Ii
brary, and should be plainly mark
ed For the Soldiers Overseas"
