. New tork, Jan. I. Russia' rejection of
Germany's peace terms,, th hope that the
president's message to congress will tend
further to oiarify the railroad situation and
other favorable Incident prompted another
extensive advance In stocks today. i
The greater ptrt of th advantage wag
wept away In the last hour, however, when

of several adverse railroad statements In
November. Foremost among these wss
New York Central . which ' reported th
enormous net decrease of $3, $86, 000.
In the substantial rise of the forenoon and
Intermediate session rails furnished 'much
of the motive power, Pacifies, coalers and

wider scope than at any time sine th
improvement of last week.

CHICAGO GRAIX AND PROVISIONS.
Announcement That Ball Priority Order
Are, Suspended Boost Corn. ,
Chicago, Jan. .-Corn advanced In price
today owing more or less to uncertainty
which resulted from announcement that
all - priority orders on the railroads had
been suspended. The market olossd firm,
o to le net higher, with January $1.24
and May $1.2601.26. Oats gained o
to 1 cent. In provisions the outcome varied
from unchanged figures to .a rlss of 66
cent.
Although It was generally expected that
potting all classes ot freight on an equality
would help to remove trafflo congestion as
a whole, traders Inclined to a belief that
aa at least a temporary effect the supply
ot oan available for hauling grain wouto
be reduced and that receipts ot corn here
would be diminished. This prospect ap
peared to have considerable to do with talk
which became current In favor of a higher
maximum price limit. Under such circum
stance the late dealings were at virtually
the topmost prices of the day.
Oata largely reflected the aame influ
ences that ruled the corn market, besides,
country offerings o arrive were small.
Severing by 'shorts lifted provisions after
some weakness caused by declines in the
hog market and by the bearish ahowlng
of the monthly statement of warehouse
stocks. The bulge, however, was not fully
maintained.

STRONG DEMAND FOR
FARML0AN BONDS
President Hogan of Federal
Land Bank of Omaha Re
ports Active Market in
District.
The Federal Land bank of Omaha
reports a strong demand for federal
farm loan bondt the last few days.
. "Something like $30,000,000 of fed
eral farm loan bonds have already
been sold by the several land banks
throughout the United States,' said
President Hogan. ,
"We think that probably the Fed-
era! Land bank of Omaha has mar
keted more bonds directly to its cus
tomer! than any other of the 12
banks. Our real estate security it
recognized as perfectly safe and in
vestors who have heretofore been de
nied the opportunity to invest in real
estate mortgage loans because of the
inconvenience of directly making; these
loans are buying bondt bated upon
these mortgages, which have been
taken tinder the direct control and su
pervision of the Treasury department
of the United Statet. -
"The demand for bonds hat be
come especially active among the big
business men of the four states of
this district.' We booked an order
Monday for $35,000 of bonds from
one individual customer. They have
proven attractive because they are ex
empt from all clatsei of taxes, includ
ing federal income and excess profits
tax. Many business men figure that
these tax exemption feature! and 4Vi
per cent interest rate, which is good,
considering the high-class nature of
the security, combine to make this in
vestment a splendid place to put their
1917 business profits."
Mr. Hogan stated that Louis W.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
railway, has recently invested $500,000
in these bonds.

SCOOTS COLLECT
: B00KSF0R FORTS
Omaha to Be Canvassed for
Reading Matter for the
Sammies at the Local
Posts.
Omaha Boy Scouts will be around
some time between now and Friday
evening to coltect books of all kinds,
sheet music and music booki for the
soldiers of the Omaha forts.
Mr. English, scoutmaster of all the
Boy Scouts in Omaha, and hit co
horts, the other scoutmasters, have
planned to canvas the whole city "in
an effort to collect about 5.000 books
for the Sammies. Nearly ,(MQ Scouts
will be engaged in the work.
"Some of the Scouts think that they
have to wait until Friday td start
work," Mf. English said, "but they are
mistaken. It is time to start right
now."
Mr. Enpli.ih believes that collecting
5,000 books is not a hard task. He
says that in every home at least some
books have been put away in the at
tic or closets because they did not fit
in the library. "Get out these books,"
he says, "and give them to the
Scout.'
The books will he gathered in by
Friday i ening and taken to the Boy
Scout headquarters. From there the
library authorities will take them and
will tee that they are distributed to
the soldiers of Forts Omaha and
Crook. If the required number is not
collected by Friday evening the
work will be continued Saturday until
the books number 5;00O. .
The 15 boys collecting the highest
number of books will be given a 1918
diary as a prize,

Distribution is the thing. State Ad
ministrators concern themselves.-directly,
with nothing else. Production
is left for the Washington office to
handle. But the Washington office,
too, is mainly occupied with getting
coal from one point generally a sid
ing in a railroad yard to another
point say the furnaces of a hospital,
or the bunkers of a scout cruiser, or
the coal box of one of the 100 neediest
cases. r
The fuel administration concerns
itself not with opening new , chan
nels for the coal trade, but with keep
ing old channels stretched wide open.
In most cases when the results it ob
tains fall short of perfection, It is idle
to try to pin the blame down to the
fuel administration, or to the rail
roads, or to any other tingle element
in the situation. ' .
That the fuel administration is Cop
ing with the problem successfully is
shown by these facts: that the nsvy
and the transports have been getting
all the coal they need, and of the best
quality, that the cantonments and mu
nition factories are kept well sup
plied, and that the railroads in this
time of the world's great need ire
