GRAIN FUTURES
HOLD FIRM ON
FOREIGN NEWS
Continued Rain in Argentina
Forces Liverpool Up;
Demand Strong.
By UHiied Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 22-Grain prices
again we're firm as the Board Of
Trade opened this morning, only old
crop wheat deliveries showing a
small loss. The continued strength
in foreign markets, Liverpool and
Buenos Aires advancing steadily If
slowly, being the determining fac
tor. Wheat was somewhat uneven.
July showing a small gain and May
losing ground. Corn was steady to
higher and oats we're rather firm.
At the opening wheat was 4 cent
lower with July Il cent higher, corn
was unchanged to IS cent higher
and oats were unchanged 60 = cent
higher. Provisions were quiet and
steady.
Foreign Prices Higher
Sustained by the continued RAIN
in the Argentine, Liverpool was
stronger than expected today and
4 to 4 cent higher at mid-after-
AAOOAi' DdC44OS fa4ICS MdO 3 C6lllS
higher during the morning. Those
operating in wheat are bearish, ap-
parently seeing nothing but the big
stocks on hand in the United States
and the lack of an export demand.
No large interests are in the market
and small orders either way have q.
large influence. "A few transactions
have been made in September deliv-
cry as yet and while few traders
favor the opening of trade in that
month, the board is not enthusiast
tic.
Cash Market Even
A better shipping demand the last
two days and continued light re-
ceipts have given the cash corni
market a f1rmer tone, but the effect
has not yet been felt in the futures. I!
Many think it will not extend into
the futures as farmers who have
been holding for higher levels.
The good feeding demand has held
the cash oats market fairly steady.
and IS the only bullish factor in the
news. The trade is of the opinion
that prices will go no lower unless
the farmer sells the oats he is be-
lleved to be holding of the market.

Following is the explanation Of
Ripley's Believe it or Not, which
appeared in Wednesdays Times:
Captain Kidd Was Not Private
When Captain Kidd sailed in
the Adventure Galley" he had
been commissioned by the Earl Of
Bellamont, royal governor of New
York Q695), to cruise for the
British against France, with
which England was at war at the
time, and to combat piracy on the
high seas. His subsequent trial In
London, and his conviction on
trumped-up charges, was a great
injustice, dictated by political rea-
sons. The rope, by which Captain
Kidd was hanged, broke, he fell
to the ground, and was taken up
alive. His spiritual adviser. the
Rev. Paul Lorraine, was inhuman
enough to ask for a short interval.
during which he tried to prevail
upon Kidd to confess his sins.
Kidd presently was strung up
again, and so legally died twice
for a crime of which he was in
nocent.

to Mayors McLain, Crump, Utley
and Ashcroft of Memphis, Tenn,
all four Of whom held that office
between 9 a. m. and IL q. m. The
reason for the rapid removal from
office of mayors was that Mayor
McLain, former vice-mayor,
stepped out when former Mayor
Crump qualified for office. Then
Mayors Crulnp and Utley both
resigned on threats of custer I'M

SeqCer Gas Dangers
Are Found Limited

THE occasional spectacular explosion in which
gnanholes are blown high into the air from
sewer lines in the larger cities, has given rise
to the belief that such explosions are an ever
present menace.
Tests made by the Bureau of Mines, however,
show that while in sore cases a dangerous
accumulation of sewer gas is very probably
present, the general run of sewers contains no
explosive menace
In a total of 4,068 tests, only about per
cent revealed the presence of explosive gas and
in the great majority of these the amount OF
gas present was not sufficient to make an ex-
plosive mix None of the tests revealed the
presence of gasoline or other hydrocarbons.
The main danger in the gases found in the
sewers is to workmen who might be forced to
enter the pipes. The lack of oxygen would
make suffocation and death likely, unless masks
should be worn.

Worm-Eaten Nutmegs

THE shippers of nutmegs into this country
! last year had a three-out-of -four chance
of getting his shipment by the eagle-eyed food
and drug inspectors, but one-fourth of the
shipments fell by the vayside because they
of spices shipped to this country, however, was
pure and in good condition. The spice to
suffer hardest next to nutmegs was the cloves,
the objection being in the case Of cloves that
Uncle Sam wanted cloves and not a mixture
of cloves and stems. All told, there were more
than 100000 pounds of cloves rejected on this
score while the amount of nutmegs rejected
were just short of a half million pounds. The
total of all other spices rejected was about
equal to the amount of either of the afore-
mentioned. The general figure indicated less
than per cent of all shipments were found
to be substandard and 100000 pounds were
admitted by the inspectors as being pures"

any hard feelings. didn't realize what he
meant by that until later. I'll tell you the
story nearly as can the way that he related
it to me-
He said: 1T was a machine-gunner. I went
through all the earlier years of the war with
only few minor scratches, and then came
the Summer Of 1918. We were in the Niewe-
kerke sector. KENNEL was the key position in
that area and our high command decided 1t
must be taken.
IT guess you've read about that battle. Our
artillery preparation was terrific. I don't see
how there was anything left living after our
guns got through shooting. But when the
first-line division went over the top, they were
repulSed with terrible losses.
~ A FTER that Guards division was sent
4 over. They, too, were beaten back with
heavy losses 1t was not until fresh line
division brought up that we finally took
KENNEL.
We'll, told you was a machine -gunner.
When the British forced us out of KENNEL, q
few days later, I and my crew, together with
lot Of other sections, were ordered to fight a
reav-guard action and to hold as long as
possible. I and my crew occupied a pill-box
position that gave us a perfect sweep OF the
ground over which your chaps were trying to
advance. We held on until we were almost
completely surrounded. All this time We had
been inf1icting heavy losses on the enemy.
I'm the end, with two Of our crew Of i've
knocked out the sergeant decided to surrender.
We smashed the gun and stuck up handker-
chief to indicate that we were giving up.
"A small detachment of men came running
up, led by an officer with a bandage wrapped
around wound in his forehead. He ordered
us to hop out OF the pill-box. We thought tney
were going to take US prisoners and started
toward them with our hands held high.
Instead. the officer, a big red-faced man,
turned around and said something to three
men who were carrying Lewis gum and then
he turned back to us and in German ordered
us to face about and run as fast as we couid
in the direction of our own lines. we were sur
prised, but thought it was just case OF tneH

I started after the man in the ragged army

a. decent thing to invite him TO have bite to
eat with me.
1t was dusk by the time I reached Nollendorf
Platz and biting seet storm had set in.
Ahead of me the man I following had
stopped to remove the overcoat from his own
back and wrap it around his dog. They were
starting out again in this fashion when over
took them.
I accosted him with the word "Cheerio."
1t was an inane thing to say to a man in
such patiently pathetic circumstances. But be-

was diSconcerting
He said: my name? Why, have no name.
But my dogs name is Holtz."
At mention of the name the dog yelped
softly, almost 1t seemed in remonstrance, and
then nuzzled affectionately against the stump
of the missing leg.
You See," the man continued. "He thinks
have done wrong in giving my name to him.
But say have done right. OF what use is
the name to me? And besides, my dog is more
entitled to 1t than I am"
All this time he was smiling I was glad
because when he stopped smiling it was neces-
Sary for me to look the other way. think
maybe he realized this.
IE went on: MY business is selling lead
pencils. But it is not I who sells them.
1t is Holtz. We Germans oftentin1es love our
dogs more than we love humanity. Well, why
not? Show me the human being that is more
steadfast in his friendship and loyalty than
good dog"
Again, the dog barked softly

But as soon as our backs were turned I
heard him order the machine-gun crew to
Shoot the swine A few seconds later they
opened fire. I the two men ahead Of me
go down in hail of bullets I remember look
ing back and cursing the officer who was re-
sponsble.
LAS nearly as I could see, he was then oper-
ating the machine gun himself. I think the
men had refused to shoot. After that, burst
bullets tore through my face and at the same
time was hit badly in the arm and leg.
And that's all can remember until several
days later came to and found myself in
British dressing station"
I didn't say anything else. What else was
there to say? just shook hands with him, and
with the dog to whom he had given his name,
and after making an appointment to meet them

We were all waiting for the red-faced man
to say something But his volubility seemed to
have deserted him. Several seconds went by
before any words came from his lips.
Finally he said: How do you know HoltS
was telling the truth?"
The man VINO naQ Deen uVlng IN germany

from home and quite by chance happened to
run across this letter in the section devoted to
communications from the public.
"It is written by former British machine
gunner and describes, from the opposite side,
an incident exactly similar to the happening

Germans story in every possible respect, even
