Not a great many desertefS have been reported from Camp Pike but there are always a number on the list 0" Missing Every once in while we see a note that a deserter has been shot, but it never happens m this country. But they learn that it is not joke for most ot them get five years at hard labor at some military prison as did two former Camp Pike men a few days ago. Most oi the deserters gave as an excuse that letters from home claimed they were needed. Be careful what you put in your letters tc the soldiers.

our own county, a gang ol
 worthless dogs got into drove of sheep and in a few hours killed more than two hundred idollars worth of sheep and lambs for a farmer who has done a great deal to encourage sheep raising in this county. A number of lambs killed in this instance were from a pufebred ram that cost the farmer S50. He has no recourse because there is no law in Arkansas placing any restriction upon dogs. Although he is clearly entitled to collect damages from the owner of the dog, he cannot collect a dollar, there being no 1aW#in Arkansas mak- ing the owner of a dog respon- sible for any damage=do done by the dog.
 This is manifestIy unfair and unjust. If we cannot get a heavy war tax placed upon dogs, the next session of the Arkansas legislature should at least pass a law making the owner of any dog or dogs res ponsible for any damage done by the dog, and in cases like the one here mentioned, the owner of dogs should be liable for double damages where dogs kill sheep or any other food producing animals.

Put Heauy War Tax on all Worthless Dogs


 There is one source of en- come that was overlooked by Congress when the War-taX bill was passed, which should be given immediate attention, and that is the placing of a war tax on dogs.
 There are probably a hun dred million dogs in the Unit ed States that are absolutely worthless. They are not only worthless but they are an eco- homie drain upon the country because of the fact that they must be fed. The same amount of food required to keep a dog will keep q hog or a half dozen hens.
 If about three-fourths of the dogs in the country were killed and their places taken by hogs or chickens, the country would be far better off.
 A war tax of $5 should be placed on all dogs, and should be increased in proportion to the number of dogs kept by each family. If only one dog is kept, tax the dog $5; but if two are kept, tax the second dog $10; if three dogs are kept tax the third dog $20; if four dogs are kept, tax the fourth dog $40, and double the tax for each dog where more than one is kept by family.
 At least 60 per cent of the dogs of the country would be killed if We had such a law. thereby saving a quantity of food sufficient to produce sev- eral million pounds of pork.
 This would also greatly re. duee the heavy loss sustained each year by the sheep grow CTS of the country and thereby increase the supply of both wool and mutton.

Russia, where he belongs and where he would feel at home among the RussianBolsheviki- the nearest nothing on the face of the earth in the form of a man.
 And here is thought for the farmer of Independence county:
 Independence county is an agricultural county and the farmers of this county should remember the fact that the present war has brought them the greatest era of prosperity they ever knew. The high prices received by the farmer the past fall and winter for HIS collOn, corn, nay, livestock, and all other farm products, are a direct result of the war.
 The war has brought you much surplus money. Suerly, you are not so unappreeiative and so unpatriotic as to refuse to lend some of this surplus money to your government in it's hour of need.
 Are you an American citi- zen or are you a Bolsheviki?
 Take your measure and see what you are and what you stand for.

American or BoIsheuiki, Where Do You Stand2

In spite of all that has been said and done in regard to the necessity of buying Liberty Bonds, the fact remains that some of our citizens who are amply able to do so have not bought any of these bonds.
 It is serious reflection up- on the loyalty and patriotism of any American citizen who is able to do so and refuses or neglects to buy Liberty Bonds.
 In Little Rock it is announc- ed that a list of those who are able to buy Liberty Bonds and do not do so, will be published in order that the PATRIOTIC CITIZENS may know who are the SLACKERS. This is a good rule and should be adopted in Independence county and in every other county in the state.
 Did. you ever stop and ask yourself seriously if American liberty means anything to you?
 If it does, just try to put a money value on it.
 It's value cannot be measured in dollars and cents. 1t goes entirely beyond money. It lays hold upon all the higher and bigger things of life. It rep resents things that no amount of money can buy.
 Nobody will attempt to deny these facts. And yet, we find enjoying this American liberty, people who are so closely re- lated to the hog family that they refuse to buy Liberty Bonds
 They hoggishly deyour as much as they possibly can of the good things afforded them under our great and priceless system of American freedom, but stubbornly refuse to lend their money to their govern ment in its hour of need.
 Stacker" does not begin to describe this sort of a man. He is many times worse than a Stacker, and should be held in contempt by the loyal, red blooded Americans who are giving their lives, their time and their money to perpetuate the American freedom that was bought with the priceless blood of our forefathers.

CAPTURED TONNES
KEPT MUM" ON TANKS

LONDON, Jan. 12.-General Byng's
successful tank advance on Cambria
was due, in the last analysis, to the
steadfastness Of forty British Tom
mics.
The morning before the advance
was scheduled the Germans made n
raid on the very sector behind which
$50 tanks were mobilized for the at
tack. Forty unwilling Tommies re-
turned from the raid with the Boche.
When this was known at Byng's
headquarters gloom descended on the
camp like a winter fog on London.
"wilI they put the Germans wiser"
was the question on the lips of all
the staff and eff they do we're lost"
was their own reply.
Next mornings triumph proved the
men had kept their months shut dur
ing the usual German examination OF
prisoners.
A high British officer, discussing
the incident, said the slightest tip
about the tanks to the Germans would
have meant the total collapse OF the
tank offensive.

cording to Standard Oil officials.
"AIl we want" said one official, ais
to have the railroad company put
those cars on our siding, so that we
can get at them and unload them i'm
mediately.
THE price OF kerosene sold by the
Standard Oil Company Is 81 cents a
gallon, wholesale in spite OF reports
that this has gone up a cent. What
the retail dealers price is we don't
know. We have nothing to do with
that
The report that the oil and kero-
sene shortage OF the city will stop all
transportation except that of electric
cars was denied by this official, who
said that II the railroad company
would move the cars, already arrived,
the famine would be minimized.

WHY ELIOT DIDN'T

BACK TO KAISER

BOSTON, Jan. 1s.-Dr. Charles w.

today answered critics who say he
should return the KaIser's decoration
by saying that he received the Order
OF the Crown of Prussia, first class.
in 1902 not as an individual. but as
president OF Harvard. He was inti-
mately concerned with the institution
of exchange professors between Har-
ward and the University OF Berlin and
conferred the degree OF Doctor OF laws
upon Prince Henry when the Prince
toured the United States I'm 1902. His
answer is contained in a letter to the
Harvard Alumni Bulletin.
DR.. Eliot goes on to say: These are
facts that cannot be wiped out by my
returning the insignia of the order.
Moreover. the present object of the
American people in going to war with
Germany. namely, the elimination of
war from the world as a means of
settling international disputes, is not
to be promoted by forgetting or deny
ing that the German people have In
times past rendered great service to
the world through their advancement
OF science and letters"
He adds that he has received decora-
tions from the rulers OF Italy, France,
and Japan, and has turned them over
to the university library along with
his German decoration, and that he

COUNSEL DESERT CLIENT
CHARGED WITH SEDTTTON

BRATTLEBoRo, VT. Jan. 1.-THE
Rev. Clarence H. Waldron. OF Wind
sor. was brought before the United
States court here charged with sedi-
ton, but after his counsel had re-
tired from the case Judge II. Z. Howe,
of st. .Johnsbury, who presided, ad-
journed court. The preacher in the
meantime. pleaded not guilty.
He is charged with advising young
men not to enlist. and with having
stated that no Christian could observe
the provision of the act OF Congress
authorizing an increase in the mill
tary establishment OF the country. 1t
is also alleged that he circulated a
pamphlet calculated to discourage
participation in the war.
The clergyman's attitude on the war
attracted public attention last fall.
when he refused to permit his cOnGre-
cation, at the Baptist Church, in
Windsor, to sing "The Star-Spangled
Banner" during the services. Later
500 citizens compelled him 20 sing the
anthem in public.
His attorneys. Rufus f Brown, OF
Burlington, and Fred BicknelI, of
Windsor, withdrew on the ground that
their client would not follow their
counsel. The court then appointed
Robert c. Bason. of this city, TO rep
resent the defendant.
