not infringe on this new friendship.
In fact, both he and Daisy had a spe-

It came in time, it seemed, even
tuating on the evening Of the day be-

day long Eleanor had strolled about
the garden in a sadly dispirited frame
of mind. Some friends had come
over for a bout at her favorite pas
time, but Eleanor was in no mood
for archery. She excused herself on
the plea of a sick headache, Her SOL

left, for her father and mother went
away late in the afternoon to be gone
on an automobile trip to another
town. Eleanor was lying on a couch
in her room upstairs when the house

TAXES HIGHER THIS YEAR

Taxes are a little higher in this
county this year than usual but the
citizens are coming in just the same
and are paying them up at double
the rate they did last year. At the
close of business November 14th last
year 129 receipts had been written and
at the close of business the same date
this year 294 receipts had been writ
ten. The cash account of the county
has been raised from little over four
thousand dollars two weeks ago to
So, $50 yesterday. The total amount
of tax money raised last year for
county purposes was $113 900 and this
year it win be $154, 900; state and city
taxes have also been raised. County
Treasurer Myerly is pleased that so
many are coming in now and avoid
ing the rush which generally comes
during the latter part of December
1t is amusing to watch those who
come in to chip ia their sums to help
pay the running expenses of the
county. Some of them roar pretty
loud because taxes are so high while
some other fellow will act consider
ably pleased to find that they are no
higher than they are.

REWARD Of S2OO

Sheriff at Hardinsburg Ky., Wires He Will Come

!, Sheriff R. H. Williams yesterday received telegram from Sheriff T. A. Baird, at Hardinsburg, Ky, an- .nouncing that Mr. Baird will be here in the next two or three days, to take charge of the white man, Elisha Lampkins, alias Charles Miller,' J who is wanted there to answer to an indictment charging him with murder in the first degree.
 r The telegram Informed Sheriff Will Hams. also that there is a reward of $200 to be paid for the arrest of Lampkins, and it is expected Sheriff Baird will bring the draft for the S200 with him when he comes here to get the prisoner!
 Lampkins was arrested Saturday al Redfield, on information charging that be had failed 9tef register under the selective draft army law.

FUTILE AIR ATTACKS.

Frequently in these columns has attention been called to the utter fu- tility. of attacks fro mthe air on un fortfied-and fortified-towns, sucn as the Germans have frequently cof1ls mitted on England. These aid at tacks serve no military purpose. merely killing and maiming non-com- batants. They are boomerangs, per force, in that they steel the kaiser's foes to renewed efforts and inculcate an overwhelming spirit of revenge.
 Early in the war these attacks were excused on the score that they were 'retaliations'' for unlawful attacks of the foe. There has teen no agree ment, however, on who began the acss requiring retaliation; but we do know that the Germans have been singular anxious to pursue the ruthless sys tenn that leads nowhere.
 So far, by air attacks alone, more than BOG persons have been murdered ill England and more than TOO injur- cd-most of the dead and maimed be- ing non n-combatants; in fact, it seems to be a rarity for German ali" death~dealer to strike a fort or kill a soldier.
 Of course, it isn't the men man ming the German air machines who arc primarily to blame-they merely obey orders. Their women and baby killing tasks are mapped out for them by superiors and they must follow out the commands. The ruthless, fright full military machine that attempts to defy all laws of war and peace and humanity is to blame--and it is. the elimination of this menace to civ ilizaticn that we and our allies are aiming at.

 They are at liberty, these Russians, and they are extraordinarily sus = picious of anybody who might desire to exercise little authority and bring a semb.ance of intelligent CO., operation out of the present chaos.
 One really cannot find fault with the Russian mind on the subject it merely reflects the reaction against former days.
