YOUNG MAN PARDONED.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 2.-Because the evidence upon which he was convict ed was almost wholly circumstantial, the governor has pardoned Ed Low ry, of Garland county, who had been sentenced to one year Imprisonment on a charge of manufacturing li- quor. No witnesses were produced to give direct testimony as to the commission of the offense. The governor considered that the 'explan- ations offertd by the defendant and his witnesses were so reasonable and consistent with his innocence. Low " is a young man with wife and infant children. He had never before been charged with any offense, and his reputation for honesty and so- briety had heretofore been above re- proach.

SEA SCAvENGERS
 FOLLOW SUBMARINES.

On Board An American Destroyer in French Waters, Sept. 3O.-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) Sharks and seagulls, the scavengers of the sea have learned to follow in the wake of the submarines and watch and wait for the food likely to come from the wreckage of merchant vessels destroyed by the German sea wolves. This fact has been observed by the commanders of American de- stroyers and is used as clue to hunt down the Hun at sea.
 The presence of schools of sharks and flocks of seagulls puts the men of the American destroyers on the tip-toe of expectation when they are hunting for a periscope in the path of American transports. One comman- der returning to port the other day said: I've saw good many sharks and flocks of seagulls, and these, you know, are pretty good sign of sub marines.
 After several years of sinkings by submarines, the sharks and sea fowl have formed the habit of following in the wake of submarines knowing that food is likely to come from the wreck age. Whether it is cargo thrown overheard from the freighter or wreckage thrown up from the torpe- do explosion makes no difference; the appearance of sharks and birds usually means that there are subma- rines around"

Governor Townsend has signed the

it now is the law of the land. Says
the Wilmington Evening Journal: /:
"We have no doubt he will exercise
painstaking care in the selection of
the members of the Council He
must recognize that if the law is to
be enforced at all it must be enforced
eqUitably and free from selfish in
fluence. Otherwise, such enforcement
will arouse class prejudices and an
tagonisms which will be exceedingly
harmful. The people of Delaware
are loyal to the core. That loyalty
is voluntary and not enforced. 1t has
its birth in love of country and never
shirks at doing more than its share
of war work. That feeling of loyalty
must be respected by the State Coun-
Gil and not offended by unwise and
arbitrary acts and orders. How sen.
sitive it is, even to proposed injustice,
was demonstrated clearly by the State.

into law of the original State Council

Shark Leather Here.

From being an implacable enemy to
man science is making the shark expi-
ate its crimes by helping to reduce the
high cost of living. For the tiger of
the sea has now become a source of
leather to clOthe millions of pairs of
feet.
Experiments with shark leather indi-
cate that it may be used for practically
everything now made of cattle leather.
1t is even claimed that shark hides
have one great advantage over cow
hides in that the "splits" are amaz-
ingly strong. A "split'' is simply a
peeling of the ehide-sOmething like the
veneer cut from slab of wood.

THAT FARM LABOR PROBLEM

Good Plan is to Make the Men Available
More Effective for the Work at Home
This is taken from the March News
letter of the Soil Improvement Com
mittee of the National Fertilizer As
sociation: "Everywhree we turn we
are confronted with the cry for more
help-more labor on the farm The
need is quite apparent; at least we
have less farm labor than we used to
have. But what is the good in talk
ing about ways and means of getting
more help when we are certain that
we are sure to have less? Would it
not be more to the point to try to
make present supply more effective?
In this matter the University of West
Virginia has paved the way for some
pioneer work. They selected twenty
Of the best managed farms in the
state, and by careful census found
just how much each man on these
farms doing in the way of raising
crops and cattle. Then they have
estimated where the state would stand
in the matter OF labor if every farm
were managed as efficiently. If that
were to happen, West Virginia would
have enough men and some 13, 900
to spare, enough to make a sizable
increase in crop production. 1t is
quite noticeable wherever yon go that
the successful farmer seldom suffers
from drouth of farm labor. Perhaps
it is because his personality attracts
men. Perhaps it is because he pays
his men more money. More likely it
is because he uses his mea or such
land in such way that day of their
labor returns him maximum number
of bushels of wheat, or corn or pots
toes. Certainly it is not hard to see
where day of labor spent on a one
hundred bushel corn crop is more eff
cient in terms of bushels of produce
than the same day spent on an aver
age thirty bushel corn crop. 1t is
something to think about at any
rate.

Secretary McAdOo announced that
the amount Of the third Liberty Loan
will be So, 900, 900, 600 at Al per
cent. and that all oversubscriptions
would be accepted. The new bonds
will be nonconvertible, but bonds of
the first and second Liberty Loans
may be converted into the new 43 per
cent. securities.
The buying of Liberty Bond means
much right now. The great battle
now raging Cor the defense of liberty
on the fields of France has brought
the war close home to US. The Allied
armies are doing what the American
armies in large numbers will join
them in doing later. Deep below the
material conflict is the great and
higher conflict which these armies re-
present. 1t is titantic struggle Of
principles. The United States must
not fail. Our armies must be sus-
tained. Subscribing for a Liberty
Bond is helping to fight the battle. 1t
is a small sacrifice, if it may be even
termed a sacrifice, Incompatible with
the great sacrifice that the men in
France are making and are willing
TO make. The world is in convulsion.
The most gigantic struggle in the his
tory of mankind is raging.
When the last loans were offered
American blood had not been spilled.
The glorious Old Flag had not been
battered with shrapnel and torn with
molten lead. Casualty lists had not
borne their grim tidings to hundreds
of proud but broken mothers hearts.
True Americans will not cease to view
without feeling the failure to partici-
pate in this loan. 1t will mean more
than simply failing to do ones duty
not to buy bonds. 1t will approach
an act of disloyalty.
