COLLECTED OVER
FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS TAXES

When Sheriff R. M. Burts took
charge of the Sheriff's Office a large
number of people were owing back
taxes. Executions were in the
hands of the Sheriff. In some cases
persons were two or three years be-
hind with their obligations to the
government. Since that time other
executions have come into his hands.
AS soon as the matter could be
attended to the Sheriff got behind
these executions and he has required
all delinquents to pay up, or as a
last resort he has exposed their pro-
perty for sale to pay these taxes.
In this way the Sheriff was able
on yesterday to pay over to the
county Treasurer the sum of fifty
six hundred dollars of taxes and
penalties.
The Sheriff regrets, as all good
men do, to be compelled to advertise
a mans property for the payment Of
his taxes. He regrets to be forced
to collect penalties from delinquents,
but ita lex scripta est, and the Sher-
iff is to be commended for enforcing
the law impartially and for playing
no favoriteS.

DELAYED D
BY GERMANY R;I|I||| A

Washington, May 12.-America's
next step in the negotiations with
the Entente Allies regarding treat
ment of neutral commerce will be
delayed on account of the implied
threat contained in the German note
of May 5, in which the imperial gov
ernment expressed confidence that in
view of the new orders issued for
submarine warfare the United States
would insist upon Great Britain OBJ
serving the rules Of international law
in dealing with trade and reserving
oitself "complete liberty of decis-
ion" unless this end was accomplish
ed.
It was stated author1tatively today
that Germany's note had complicat-
e dthe situation, making it impossible
for the United States to press its de-
mands upon the Allies at once with
out appearing to do so at the bidding
of the Berlin government, and con-
sequently it was uncertain when a
reply would 60 forth to the latest
British communication.

New York, May 15.- Sharper
fighting is, now in progress in. other
sections Of the western front than in

has been reported recently along the
British lines IN northern France and

brisk action by the artillery on both

Portable Soup Kitchens.

Berlin, May H. The portable
field kitchens which the soldiers call
"goulish cannon" are being introduc-
ed into the streets of the poorer Sec
tions of Berlin, selling warm dinners
to all corners for 35 pfennings per
portion. The twon council of Litch-
tenberg, big suburb to the north of
Berlin, was the first to adopt the
idea. Many of the working people
have no time to cook for them
selves, and they can be far more
cheaply fed by cooking en- masse
at central points and distributing the
food through the field kitchens.
The Easements of some big school
houses have been fitted up as Atch-
ems wherein huge boilers, each hold
ing over hundred gallons, meat and
vegetables by the wholesale are con-
verted into palatable stew. The "gou-
lash cannon" which haul the product
through the streets for sale are each
provided with a boiler under which
low fire is kept burning.
The idea has become so popular
that it is predicted that the "gou-
lash cannon" will long survive the
war which popularized it.
