J. L. McGhee of Cow Lake was re- ported to George B. Irby, Jackson County Food Administrator, as a hoarder of flour. A search of his premises was made and more flour was found in his house than the law allowed.
 MT. McGhee was summoned to ap- pear before the executive committte of the Local Food Administrator, which he did, and he admitted the facts but plead ignorance. Owing to the extenuating circumstances, it was recommended that MT. McGhee be not prosecuted in the Federal Court but a fine was assessed against him. Mir. McGhee further promised to dispose of the flour which he has in excess of the amount allowed by law and to make donation of the proceeds to the Red Cross.

Equal and Uniform Taxation Through Out the State, Based On Assess

Special to Independent

Special to Independent
 Little Rock, July 17-One of the most interesting contests in the con- stitutional convention was started Saturday morning and is not yet dis posed of. That is the proposition for a graduated land tax, as provided by an amendment offered by Delegate R. s. Warnock of Columbia county. It was adopted Monday evening by a vote of ayes 45, noes 39. Tuesday forenoon the vote y which this amend ment was adopted was reconsidered by vote of ayes 56, noes %. Tues day afternoon a paragraph contain ing the provision for graduated land tax was stricken out upon mo- tion of Delegate T. c. McRae by a vote of ayes 53, noes Al, after an amendment by Delegate John T. Sif- ford that no such tax should be inn posed prior to 1929.
 Amendments were voted down in short order, and proposition by Judge Evans, providing for the as- sessment of property at its actual value, equal and uniform throughout the state, was adopted by vote of ayes 55, noes 40. Possibilities of further complications were provided by the action of the convention in
 refusing by a vote of 46 ayes to AZ noes, to adopt motion by Judge Evans to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was adopted and lay that motion on the table.
 The friends of the graduated land
 tax held conference last night to de eide on their next steps, and it is an nounced that they will make another effort to secure the passage of pro-
 vision for such tax.

BUY w. s. S. CHATEAU -THIERRY.

(The following editorial was clip ped from the French paper "Stars and stripes" which is printed in Pa ris by special permission of Gen. Per shng and is the official newspaper of the American Expeditionary Forces Like Schley at Santiago it shows there is 1glory enough for all" and American infantry are given their full share of glory with the marines at Chateau Thierry.)
 Infantry and marines share alike the glory of Chateau Thierry.
 Not all the fighting was in that little junction town on the Marne, or even near it; but, thanks to our Yankee passion for labelling things the swift succession of attack on at tack along that whole sector during the first vivid days of June is likely to go down in the history of France and America as the battle of Chateau Thierry.
 If the future historian of that l fighting shall record that both infan- tryman and marine won their laurels which shall never fade, glory which shall never be dimmed, he will be stating the truth, but stating it ir more words than he needs.
 For instead of writing infantry and marine, he can say simply, "The American soldier"

The German offensive in it's third day no longer has the character of a general attack, but has worked itself into a series of comparatively local operations, according to the views of entente observers.
 Reports from the battlefield, how ever, show the Germans have made some progress south of the Marne, and the offensive now appears to have taken on an aspect of a turning ment against the Rheims salient.
 Attacking with fresh troops the en- eny apparently has again forced the French back in the region of Stagnan and La Chappelle Monthoden. The battle in this region is continuing north of the Marne.
 The Germans also appear to be moving their lines further to the northeast toward Rheims.
 In other sections the Germans were repulsed, in some instances with san guinary losses.
 In the region of Chateau-Thierr the enemy abandoned their attempts to penetrate American positions, af- ter local attacks in the vicinity of vaux were repulsed.
 There is only minor activity on other sections of the western front.

Paris, July 1.-The Germans last night threw new forces into the bat tie on the front south of the Marne and north of St. Agnan, and sue .ceeded in penetrating the Bourden- neirie.
 On the front further east the French have held the enemy in the southern outskirts of Boquieny wood and at the village of Nesles. A pow erful German attack in the direction of Monvoison was repulsed. A vio lent German assault in the Courlor wood between the Marne annd Rheims likewise broke down.

CROPS ARE AIDED

Steady Downpour Begins Early In Morning and Continues Hours,
 With Prospects for More.

With the exception of the news that the Americans continue to whip the Germans on the Western front the best tidings contained in the In dependent today concern the rain which began falling at o'clock We'd nesday morning and continued for several hours. While the downpour was not heavy, it continued with a constancy that made it royalty well come. And from present indications, it is probable that more rain is to follow.
 This rain is thought to have been general throughout Jackson county, and has been a great help for crops. While early corn is practically ruin ed, the rain will tend to revive DOT tion of it, it is said. Late corn will be in splendid condition now, accord ing to reports, and the cotton cro is said to never have been in better condition than now, and the acreage this year is large. Doubtless a bumper crop of cotton will be had.
