Monroe Smith, a member of the
Arkansas Tax Commission. was in
Springdale Thursday afternoon of
last week. Mr. Smith was enroute
from Fayetteville t. Huntsville, and
is making a tour Of the various
counties in this part of the state in
an effort to aequaint the different
tax assessors, as we'll as township
assessors with their duties under the
new law. He spoke at Fayetteville
in the county judges Office in the af-
ternoon, but only small percentage
of the township assessors of the
county were present. Mr. Smith
stated that Washington county was
the next to the lowest assessed
county in the state, Benton county be-
ing the lowest. Under the new tax
law, which grants additional power
to the Tax Commission it is expected
that the per centum of assessment
in Washington county will be raised
by the Commission. A complete text
off the new law, also the law granting
additional powers to the State Tax
Commission will be found i'll this is

will be given careful study by the
tax payers in order that they may
familiarize themselves with the pro-

Experiment Shows it to Prevent Eight
Out of Ten Cases-AmeliOrates the

fFrom state Board of Heath.)

If every body believed in disease
prevention as much as the German
llaborer who told his wife: Mary,
want you should take all de children
down to de Healt Bureau und get dem
waccinated against efery disease wat
dey can get waccinated against" the
news that whooping cough can be pre-
vented by vaccination would be good
news and mothers would be finding
out all there is to know about it.
That vaccination against Whoop1ng
cough is effective when the vaccine is
properly administered, is the testimony
of DR.. George ". Goler of Rochester,
N. Y, who recently tried out the rath-
er doubtful theory. During an cpl
demic of whooping cough in Rochester.
DR.. Goler conducted a campaign
against the disease, giving the vaccine
free to everv child. Ten thousand
children were v~accinated. The eX-
pertinent was made during the sum-
mer of 1915. DR.. Goler says of the
results of the campaign:
Cup to the time of writing this re-
port, we have estimated from reply
postals sent to all physicians that less
than 5 per cent of the vaccinated chill
dren came down with the disease.
We believe that this work is sufficient
ly encouraging to lead us to continue
it and next summer we shall try to
pet the young babies Vaccinated, as it
is in children under one year of age
that the disease is most dangerous
and the immediate mortality largest.
In our infectious disease wards at the
Municipal hospital, none
came down with whooping cought
who were exposed to it if they had
previously been given three protective
NEGOTIATIONS of pertussis vaccine OF
500 million, n billion and two bill
lions. four DAYS apart.
Concerning the length of time for
pertussis vaccine offers immu-
says DR.. Goler. our experience
teaches us only a little. We have had
two children exposed to w%hooping
cough just after being vaccinated who
did o contract whooping cough until
4 year afterward. The thing that we
have done in this work is to popular
lie w%hooping cough vaccination among
the people and physicians, and
the State Department of
Health to make it possible to get per-
vaccine for the asking"

NEGRO SOLDIERS ORDERLY.

Camp Jackson, s. c., Nov. 4.-One
Of the best indications that Columbia
will not have any serious trouble
with the negro soldiers at Camp Jack
son is that, although there have been
upwards of 5000 negroes at the camp
for the past several weeks not a single

police. One negro soldier was ar
rested by the civilian police on a
charge Of being drunk, and this is the
only arrest Of a negro soldier here to
date.
Col. Edwin Bell, commander OF mil
itary police, said this morning that the
conduct of the negro soldiers had been
most exemplary. 1.-THE donning of
the uniform of the army has not given
them the big head as some persons
expected it would" said Colonel Bell.

pURLIC CO.OPERATES WELL
WITH BUSY RAILROADS.

Renorts compiled for the Rail
road,s War Board indicate that the
travelling public in general ana tne
shippers in particular are giving tne
finest find of cooperation to the rail-
roads in the handling of the increased
traffic that the war has produced.
what this cooperation means may be
cleaned from these facts:
since Nav 1st, the railroads, aided
bv the loyalty and understanding OF
the public. have been able to reduce
their passenger service by approx
mately %, 100000 miles. This has re-
leased thousands of train crews ana
locomotives for use in the frelgnt
service and cleared thousands OF miles
of track. therby facilitating the move
ment of coal food products and sup
plies needed by the Government. Q
In addition to the foregoing saving
of equipment and tracKage, the ship
pers, big and small, have rallied SO
splendidIy to the slogan, make n
a do the work of two" that a saw
ing of close to half a million freigh;
cars has been accomplished. This
saving of freight cars has enabled the
railroads to move approximately 20
per cent. more freight since wal was
declared than during the same period
last year.
Intensive loading and a general in
crease in the size of trade units"
used in the various industries has
rendered possible the saving of, a
space. Cotton. for instance, which
was formerly moved in units of fifty
bales. now moves in units of IS and
rs bales. AS there are $4,000, 900
bales to be moved by rail each season
the increase in the trade unit in this
one commodity alone has produced a
Of anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 cars.
Sugar, on which the carload mini !
mum from the South was formerly
only $4,000 pounds per car, now moves
'nly on a $4,000 carload minimum.
The producers of manufactured
'ood products, especially the Gamers
also come to a realization of the
value of intensive loading. and are
low loading virtually all of their cars
capacity.
Coal, which has been loaded be-
'ond capacity on most lines since the
beginning of the war, is also moving
RELY now. although labor trouble in
'ome parts OF the country is tending
o counteract the efforts of the rail-
Dads to meet the abnormal demand
or fuel.
Although excellent results have
'een achieved to date through the CO.
.'peratiop of the shippers, the tarvel-
ng public and the railroads, it will be
lecssary for all concerned to exert
eneWd efforts, Al the abnormal de-
hands upon the railroads in the move
nent of both troops and supplies is
constantly securing new equipment
virtually impossible
From now on, twenty-five hundred
ars a day will be required by the
Government to move food and supplies

BRITISH MASSACRED BY
GERMANS IN NORTH SEA-

London. Nov. Spy Canadian
IPress.O-An appalling story of cold
blooded massacres by Germans OF
crews of British North sea conveys In
a recent battle is told by the NorWe-
gian newspaper. The Tidenstegn
said the German cruisers were observ-
ed at 6 o'clock in the morning and
were thought to be British vessels,
but at z O'Clock when there was more
light, they suddenly began shooting
and the convoy was terrified to see
the British destroyer at the stern OF
the convoy begin to sink although II
fought to the end. The German CRUZ
sers, after signalling the vessels to
stop, advanced on each side of the
voy, which they swept with all the1
guns at a range of less than 200 yards.
The German destroyers came up
and helped to spread death and de-
struction on the ~defenceless ships,
shells falling thick and fast. The
Germans were not content to sink the
ships, but she1led the life-boats, and
every living thing coming their way
was mercilessly slaughtered. The sur
vivors owed their lives to the high
sea which was running, making the
boats a difficult mark.
In the midst of the massacre an
other British destroyer came up and
attacked, but was o o
sunk in the unequal struggle. The
German fotilla then cruised backward
and forward among the sinking steam
ers. pouring a fresh and terrible rain
of shells at a range Of 100 yards.
