HOME GUARDS OF DOVER.

From the Dover Site News.
The Dover Contingent of Home
Guards not only affords an opportun-
ity for men in this section who are
past the age Of enlistment to serve
Their country. but will also be the
means of allowing many young men,
who are exempt from the provisions
Of the Federal Conscription Act for
various reasons, to give Their services
There are number of young men
in the vicinity of Dover who are be-
tween the ages OF p and 81 years who
have children or parents solely depen-
dent upon them. and for that reason
will not be drafted into Government
service. or there may be other reasons
that will exempt them from the draft
Yet these young men are just as pa
triotic as the boys in khaki who
shoulder their guns and march to war
The Home Guards will afford these
men a chance 10 be trained that they
may do efficient work should they
ever be called upon TO defend their
homes and families and those Of th'
absent soldiers, from an invad'ng enc
my. All such young men should con-
slider Il a pleasure as well as a duty
to enroll in the ranks of the Dover
Home Guards.

A peaceful revolutionl No less a
phrase will express the significance Of
the marvellous outpouring Of the youth
of the United States to register their
readiness TO serve their country on
the battlefield. They came by the mill
lions, voluntarily. peacefully, eagerly.
No shadow of resistance marred the
perfect patriotism of the day No pro-
vOst guard was needed TO beat up the
hiding places of shirkers and slack
ers. The police and home guards about
the places of registrat on enjoyed a
holiday. The clamor Of the profess
sional and pro-German opponents Of
the selective draft ended in ridicu-
lous fiasco.
The young men Of fighting age have
proved themselves unit behind the
flag. ready to 60 where il may lead,
and to smite its enemies with heavy

for their country is any new and radi-

that quality often enough But the es-

in it Of 10000 900 young citizens is {

From the Middletown New Era.
The administration has twice lost
it's fight for censorship powers and
win not make a third effort, for the
present at least, 80 Washington dis
patches state. Time will prove wheth-
er Congress has been wise or foolish
in trusting wholly TO the patriotism
and foresight of the American press
as a safeguard against the publication
OF matter inimical to the military in
terests of the country. So far as the
majority of the American press is
concerned, we have not the slightest
doubt that It will use patriotic judg-
ment in the exercise OF its freedom.
But the fact remains that It is possi-
BILE for newspapers TO do grave injury
by the publication OF matter that
should be suppressed, and that all
newspapers are not at all times ami
mated by the high principles that will
inspire the majority to prudence H.
after a while, we have few valuable

The T. E. L. Class of the First Bap- tist church, met with Is present. Meet ing opened with prayer by Mrs. Glow CT, minutes of Sept. read and approv- ed Had an interesting lesson.
 Our Supt. is getting discouraged by the small attendance of the Sunday School, what are the Christians doing they do not have interest enough in the work to go or even send their children. They talk about wanting peace, if every Christian in Arkansas was doing their full duty to God we believe the awful war would cease in short time. God is punishing his people to bring them back to him. Let US hope they all soon come back and pray for the peace of God in all the world. Let everyone feel feel if I stay away from the Sunday School and prayer meetings there will be one less than if I go. Lets all feel that we are needed and go. Hope to have a large class next Sunday, let all come, visitors always welcome.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE SAFEST ALL BONDS FREE FROM NORMAL
 TAX. Five Thousand Dollar investment Ex. empt from Ali Tax Except
 inheritance.

The Second Liberty Loan-$3, ,000.- 000, ,000-is receiving the hearty sup port and cooperation o1 the citizens Of the Eighth Federal Reserve District The Liberty Loan Organization in charge of the placing of the allotment of the Eighth Federal Reserve District. has been frequently asked to explain the exemption of a s5, ,00o-investment.
 Not the least important feature of the new $11, BOG, 100000 bond issue. which is the biggest piece of financing Legislation in the worlds history. Is the tax status Of the new bonds. Some important bankers believe that the combination of per cent and ex- enption from all taxes of the interest on S6,000 of the bonds in themselves guarantee the success Of the sale.
 The interest on bonds owned in ex- cess Of s6.000 Of principal Is likewise exempt from normal income taxes. but the supertaxes apply on holdings above s5,800, provided the holders total tax able income places him in the super tax class. The own5 Of 0.000 of the bonds, would there 9 pay no tax on the first s20o Of II St, but the sec ond S200 might be subject to super taxes. In other wol the amount of interest over and above s2o0 from the bonds becomes general income, in the same category as dividends on stocks. subject to the ascending scale of su- pertax rates which begin st s5,000.
 gro the small subscriber the bonds will be entirely exempt from all taxes. Having no other income an investor can purchase as much as s13o.0o of the new bonds without paying any in- come tax. This means annual inter est of s5,20o The first s2o0 is en- tirely exempt and the remaining $5.0e0 not being above the supertax limit, ia likewise non-taxable. Of course this is an extreme example. and is predi- cated upon the receipt of no other income"
