TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Jan. eS.-CORN-Greater con
fidence in the maintenance of hog prices
gave an upward swing today to the corn
market. Bullish sentiment was increased
also by the fact that farmers were not
selling and the feeders had been paying
much above the commercial level Another
Strengthening influence was the announce
ment that the British cut in Atlantic freight
rates had been met by the United States
shipping board. Opening quotations which
ranged from &c to 212c higher with May
s11114 to S1.1S1a aud July S1.1lK to S1-1a1s,
were followed by a slight reaction and then
an advance higher than before.
Positive but unverified assertions that
the February hog price would remain at
$3.50 caused sharp further upturns in the
value of corn. The market. however. re-
coded later. Prices closed unsettled. &c to

THE GERMAN ..INDEMNITY.' >

Adyices from Paris say that. the
German peace delegates show gen.
eral willingness to agree to the allied
terms, except that they insist they VIII
not pay an indemnity.
This determination may not be so
serious as it sounds. It is largely
matter of definition. By indemnity
the Germans are said to mean ''puni-
tive damages q payment made by
way of fine Or punishment. They are
said to be willing to pay any reason
able sum that is put down as "repara-
tion," that is, compensation for COM
putable damages inuflictcd by them
in the course of the war
This seems to be somewhat of a
quibble. It is drawing pretty fine
distinctions. The Century Dictionary
defines indemnity" as "conlpensa-
ton for loss, damage or injury sus-
tained.' which seems to be just
about what most people, including
the Germans, mean when they speak
of "ceparation."
But after all, it matters little what
technical terms are used. All the
Germans can possibly pay will not
equal the actual loss. damage or in
jury" they have inflicted on the AL
lies. If the Huns prefer the mild
word PREPARATION" therefore, there
need be no dispute. In any event,
the result will be the same. They
will pay all that can be squeezed out
of them.

for instruction as to cleanliness,

Branches of knowledge Which have

In the case of small children such
centers are doubly desirable. Most OF
the Illnesses of childhood come from
the ignorance or carelessness OF the
parents. Many Of these cases long

THE TRIAL OF THE KAISER.

The suggestion was made recently
in q prominent daily that it was hard
ly worth while to spend the time and
the money Of sensible people to try
the former Kaiser.
This would be true, were the OBJ
ject of that trial simply to wreak
vengeance upon one hated individ-
uai. But that is not the final end and
aim of the proposed trial. 1t goes
far deeper
With the presentation of the peace
terms the real plight Of Germany is
at last brought to the comprehen-
sion of the common people. They
can realize for the first time where
the militaristic dreams of a few auto
Gratis have brought them. They can
realize also how futile were the
promises of few other autocrats
that they would secure peace terms
favorable to Germany.
Now let this awakening experience
be followed by the arraignn.ent OF
those royal, military and civil heads
responsible for the conduct OF the
war. This will mean that documents
of undoubtable veracity will be sub
mitted in evidence of German guilt.
Light will be cast on every angle AND
ramihcation Of Ger1nany's war plans
dating back for many years. The.
German people will have put plainly
before them, as before the rest Of the
world, all those causes which brought
about the war and the downfall Of
Germany. The result should be the
final wiping Of the scales from the
eyes of the great mass Of the German
people.

THE SANTEE CROSSING.

In view Of the energy with which
the people Of the Summerton section
Of Clarendon county are prosecuting
the campaign to establish a crossing
Of the Santee river at Pinckney's land
ing by building a cauSeway through
the swamp and bridge across the
river, both above highwater mark, it
behooves the business men of Sumter
TO give the movement sympathetic
and substantial support. The cstab-
lishment OF this cossing Of the San
tee Will give this section of the State
q short route to Charleston and open
up to Sumter merchants trade ter
ritory beyond the Santee that here
tofore has been closed TO them. For
a short term Of years. when the
Charleston Sumter and Northern Rail
road was operated is an independent
system. the lower eastern section Of
Orangeburg county and upper Berke-
" county were in close touch by rail
with this city and the peop:e II that
section were frequent visitors to SUM
ter. The erection Of a bridge at
Pinckney's Landing would bring this
section into close touch once again
with Sumter and the business of the
city would be benefited.
Apart from the direct trade to be
gained by the opening up of new ter
ritory, the advantage Of direct route
to Chareston and all the western part
of the State is SO great that it is diff
ficult to be estimated off hand. Sum-
ter needs this new State highway,

THE FRUITFUL ARCTIC.

The Arctic regions seem to have
been misunderstood They are not
bleak and barren. They are wonder
fully fruitful, or may be made 50 by
little of the care which man has
lavished on other parts OF the earth.
No less an authority than Stefans-
son, the scientific explorer, says that
the Arctic and sub-Arctic lands can
provide great quantities Of food, par
ticularly wool, meat and milk. He has
gone so far as to lay before the Ca
madam parliament plan for intro
ducing and domesticating on blg
scale the animals necessary for this
purpose.
They are the reindeer, which fur
nish& milk and meat, and the musk
OK, which furnishes wool. There are
from 100000 to 100000 square
miles, he says, in Arctic North Amer
lea, where ordinary cattle cannot live,
but which can provide grazing ground
for these animals the year around.
He says that Arctic Canada alone
will support 100000 reindeer, which
number would produce as much meat
every year as 100000 sheep.
It is no untried theory that NJ.
Stefansson submits. The United
States government introduced more
than 1000 reindeer in Arctic Alaska
20 years ago, and they have been lo-
creasing rapidly ever since, the herds
doubling their numbers every three
wears IL er Eskimo care and every
two years under the care Of white
men. There is herd Of $4,000 rein
deer in Lapland owned b va group Of
American capitalists. From this herd
there were sold last year in the
American market 1,500 carcasses Of
$50 pounds each, at prices consider

mestic beef.
The Canadian government seems
much impressed with the idea. The
railway men say that transportation
can be arranged There will surely
be no difficulty about the refrigera-
ton problem. We may yet see the
whole Arctic region, and most of the
great Antarctic continent too, utiliz-
ed for the benefit Of man.
Alaska offers opportunities for
much development along these lines,
and the United States should surely
not lag behind Canada in the mat

afford to assist in paying the cost,
provided Clarendon county or the
people Of the Sunnerton section Will
enter into a binding undertaking TO
build and maintain first class pubic
road from the Sumter county line 10
the Santee bridge. If they will build
and maintain a good road in Claren-
don county, Sumter county will GER
tainly maintain first class road from
this city to the county line. In fact
the road from Sumter almost to the
county line is now in fairly good con-
dition and with a little work can be
made into a good road for all classes
of vehicles.
