COLLEGE VS.
Waterloo Comes to the Worthy
Sophs,


1916 has lost another scalp and 1917
has secured a trophy. The smoke of
the first skirmish has cleared away and
everybody is happy except said bunch
of sophomores. At2:00 o'clock on Sat
urday afternoon the forces lined up on
the field of battle between the chapel
and Painter Hall. Here with their
chosen leaders in the van they glared at
each other over the head of Ed Triggs,
who stood calmly in the center holding
down the hat. The minutes passed
slowly and the freshmen were beginning
to move about nervously when Jack 3"
blew the whistle, "Triggie" rushed
for safety, and the avalanche struck
the poor deserted headpiece. Freshman
Bresnahan reached it second before
Sophomore Paulsen, but a view of
further developments in it's immediate
vicinity was cut off by the rush of the
main forces. Skirmishing around the
pile was fast as usual, but here the
freshmen were at a slight disadvantage,
for they often pulled off their own men.
After three minutes time was called
and all those not directly concerned
with the hat were pulled away while the
hands were counted. The result was
as follows. Freshmen, s; Sophomores,
8. Paulsen and Bresnahan had profited
by the advantages gained by their quick
start and each had two hands on the
prize. Taylor, '16, showed one hand,
while Hard, II, had two and Heath,
II, one. The coach allowed football
men to enter and each class had share
of gridiron warriors enrolled.

where the depositors are pro-

An official of the bank said to-

Board of Directors had this mat
ter brought to their attention
about a month ago and after dis
cussing the matter, decided it
was only fair to the depositors
that they agree personally, to
guarantee the safekeeping OF
their money. The members OF
our board are worth four times
more than the amount of depos'
it's in the bank and as they have
filed a signed agreement that the
deposits are guaranteed they
feel that the people are offered {

SPECIAL AGENTS
TO COLLECT TAX
Under New Income Tax Law
Soon To Be Started Over
Arkansas.
Special 70 independent.


Little Rock, Oct. 16.-Uncle
Sam will soon start special a.
gents over Arkansas to collect
income tax, or get statistics
which will lead to an annual call
from thegOvernment upon those
earning more than $500 per an
mum. According to notices re-
ceived in the Little Rock reven-
ue office, the employer of the
man who must pay income tax
is to be held responsible for its
payment. The employer must
deduct from the employees sal
airy the amount due the govern
ment, and make settlement with
the government agent.
In the payment of income tax
the man of family is for the first
time put ahead of the bachelor.
The bachelor is given a handi-
cap over the married man in
that he must begin paying in
come tax upon an income of 49,
900 per annum, while the mar
ried man is given a leeway Of
81 900 per year, presumably, to
shatter the old adage that 1.-TWO
can live as cheaply as one." In
addition to this the man with
one child, must make an addi-
tional $500 for the second child,
making exemptions of $4,000,
but nothing is allowed for more
than two children. This per-
mits a man with a wife and two
children to earn $4,000 per an
mum before he has to pay the
tax.

BRYANT SUIT
AGAINST |. @. @. F.
In Which Niece of Shirley Sues
For Share of Estate Tried
At Walnut Ridge.

Walnut Ridge, Oct. 10 The
famous Shirley will case was re-
vived here today when the ale
cations Of Mrs. Mae Bryant a.
gainst the estate of the mystic
riously murdered merchant were
called for hearing. The suit
was filed against the estate of
the Odd Fellows lodge of Ark
ansas, to which organization a
large portion of Mr.. Shirey's es-
state was bequeathed. Mrs. Bry-
ant is a niece Of Mr.. Shirley and
is suing for what she alleges is
her share of the estate.
Mrs. Bryant alleges that dur
ing the latter part of Mr.. Shir-
ey's life he was a Spiritualist
and confided in a medium to
whom he wrote and entrusted
certain letters. Mr.. Shirley, she
charges, was always involved in
litigation and became alarmed
about these letters, fearing that
if their contents should be d.
vulged or fall into the wrong
hands he would be ruined fnan-
cially. Mrs. Bryant says that
he made a confdant of her as
his favorite niece and offered to
pay her a large sum if she could
reclaim these letters. Mrs. Bry-
ant says she undertook the task
and was successful in returning
the letters to Mr.. Shirley. Be-
fore she was paid for the work,
Mrs. Bryant charges, Mr.. Shir-
| ey was assassinated.
Mrs. Bryant first brought suit
against the Odd Fellows lodge
for $4,000. The hearing first
came before the county and pro-
bate judge who allowed the
claim. An appeal was taken to
the circuit court, where again
Mrs. Bryant was awarded YER
dict. The case was then taken
to the Arkansas supreme court
and owing to certain instruc-
tons by the lower court was re-
turned to the lower court for a
new trial.
Testimony was completed this
afternoon and arguments in the
case will be begun at 8 o'clock to-
morrow morning. State Senat-
or Clyde Going of Harrisburg
and J. n. Bleakley are repre-
senting Mrs. Bryant. The Odd
Fellows and the Shirley estate
are represented by M. NJ. Stuck

For
County Judge
James III. Johnston Announces
His Candidacy For County and
Probate Judge.

To my fellow citizens and the
voters of Jackson County, Ar
kansas:
l hereby announce myself as a
candidate for county and probate
judge, subject to the action of
the voters at the Democratic
primary election.
| believe the citizens of the
county realize that it is we'll for
the occupant Of the Office to I'M
derstand points of law which a.
rise in cases before HON, espec-
tally those touching upon titles
to real estate. | believe that Act
as of the 1911 General Assem-
bly,, authorizing the county
judge to cooperate with the
government in farm demonstra-
ton work, can be used to good
effect, and especially when the
crops or orchards of the county
are preyed upon by insects and
pests. Being a graduate of our
state law school, and having de-
rived practical experience from
attending the state agricultural
school, I feel fully qualified a.
long these lines.
believe that the Boys Corn
Club should be encouraged, as
proper preparation and cultiva-
tion of the soil and proper seed
selection is a great factor in in
creasing our corn production. l
believe that Jackson county
should be one of the leading
counties in the construction of
permanent roads; the farmers
of the county have paid a very
heavy tax by wear and tear of
wagons and loss of time, while
pulling through almost bottom
less roads, and | believe that the
county should get the benefit of
the work of the county prison.
ers on such road building.
Ditching, grading and dragging
Of roads is great help, and we
need to rock and gravel them as
fas as possible. | believe that
the taxes of the people should be
carefully equalized, and on a ba-
sis with other counties possess
ed of relative property values.
| was born and reared on the

of pleasure to serve the people

lieve that | possess ability
enough and energy enough to
fill the office to the satisfaction
of the people and with honor to
myself and county.
Should | be elected, will de-
vote my time to the duties OF
the office, and will be ready to
cooperate with the people in
any movement for the better,

will Watch Taxation Measure

The creation Of the Tax Commission
In Nevada will be watched with keen
eyes by those who have been interested
in this affair. There was considerable
opposition TO this new law. mainly from
the fact that it was the general rumor
that the farmer would he cinched,
while the corporation values would es-
cape. Ii was contended that the work
OF the commission was unnecessary, as
il could be taken care of il other laws
were enforced. and the Few bill only
passed after much hard work on the
part of the advocates and friends OF the
measure.
Now that 1t has become a Law the re-
suit Of two years will have to be reck.
oned with. In case of some substantial
showing. and a showing that will prove
theories. the bill will be approved by
the people. Should failure follow it will
be wiped out without hesitation. Il is
because OF the disputes and disagree
ments OF the parties interested that this
eomm mission form Of taxation will be
keenly observed.
Ii Is conteDded that other States have
pronted by such advanced legislation
and IL Is at least to be given a thorough
test IN this State. The outcome of the
next "a mouths will be a matter of in
