Save The 300 Discount
On County Taxes
During September.

The 5 per cent. discount period having
expired on the lst instant, this Office desires
to express to county taxpayers, and the pub
lie generally, its appreciation of the splen-
did spirit of cooperation, as evidenced by
the payment during the month of August, OF
nearly one-half of the entire Levy for 1918,
both State and county.
The total collections for the month are
s128,2s5, and the record should be most
gratifying to all interested tn the welfare of
the county.
To those taxpayers who were unable to
take advantage of the August discount, we
call attention to the 2 per cent. discount on
county taxes allowable during September.

GREAT OCEAN BILLows.
Atlantic Storm Waves Are Lsss Than
Fifty Faek n Height

Twenty feet in height, from crest
to bottom, Is a big sea-eyen foI
sailors. Captain Scoresby's obserFa.
tons on the height Of waves long
ago proved that IN the heaviest At
Iantic storms the waves very rarely
exceed forty-three feet from hollow
to crest, the distance between cresta
being 500 feet and their speed thir-
ty-three miles an hour More re-
cent observations have shown that
Atlantic waves may reach forty
eight feet.
At Kurrachee, in India, waves
we're measured on the breakwateE
which we're about forty feet above
the sea level.
In Wick bay, in Scotland, cele-
brated for heavy seas, some have
been observed Of forty feet in
height. but this is uncommon. It
vas estimated that one Of the great
rollers, which came about every ten
minutes, poured over the breakwa-
ter at Wick with a mass Of 10000
tons Of water. Blocks Of concrete
weighing more than two tons we're
carried completely away.
Great waves have often carried
away the most solidly built light
house, and there is, perhaps, no
more triumphant work Of engineer

and dangerous place against the IN
cessant efforts Of the sea reused to

As to the depth TO which wave
action extends the knowledge is I'M
certain. Shell fish. which are known
to live at depths Of 50 or so TO $50
feet, are thrown upon the shore by
heavy storms. and the bottom is
often much disturbed at the depth
OF fifty feet. But concrete and
granite blocks, used in the construc-
ton Of breakwaters and immensely
heavy, are seldom disturbed at a
depth Of twenty feet.

great wave is common at sea, even
when the vessel is in good hands.
Often this accident has proved fatal

DRASTIC RULE IS ADOPTED
PRO-KAISER AGENTS IN FRANCE
CANNOT COME TO AMERICA.
Order of State Department Applies To
All Who Would Leave For y.
S. Except Pershing.

Paris. Jan. 14.-General Pershing is
the only American in France who can
leave the country without asking per-
mission to do SO two weeks in adj
vance. The United States embassy,
the consul general, and all of the con-
suls throughout France have been no.
titled by the Secretary of State to
hold up all persons departing for
America for two weeks before vising
their passports.
The object of this long delay and
the rigorous investigation made into
the identity and activity of every one
leaving France is to prevent, as far as
possible, the ingress of pro-Germans
int the United States and to decrease
the acts of sabotage which have been
committed-the blowing up of bridges,
munitions factories, ships, etc.
All civilians who attempt to go to
the United States must make applica-
ton to the embassy or to the consul
at least two weeks before they wish to
sail Any officer or enlisted man in
the eXpeditionary force of the United
States army who wishes to return
home must produce proper credentials
and orders of movement from his SUI
perior officer This applies equally to
men higher up" with the exception
of the commander-in-chi of the AM
erican army in France.

ARMY CAPTAIN WAS BANDIT
SUICIDE REVEAL IDENTITY OF
SLAYER AND BANK ROBBER.
Officer Who Killed Four Men With
Ak Ends Life at Camp
Funston.

Camp Funston. Kan, Jan. 14.-With
the finding of the body of Capt. Lewis
r. Whistler of Salina, Kan, in his tiny
Office at the National army canton
ment acre, the last chapter was writ
ten in the bloody story of the loot
ing of the army bank and the murder
or four men and seriously wounding
of fifth. The murders were com
mitted with hand ak.
Captain Whistler killed himself, fir
ing two shots from a regulation army
service rifle into his head. The first
bullet glanced downward through one
cheek, but the other lodged in the
brain. The suicide followed a general
order instructing all captains at the
cantonment to report and have their
finger prints taken.
A note was left by the officer, adj
dressed to a woman whose name the
authorities SO far have declined to
divulge. The note read:
Il have been thinking of commit
ting suicide for long time, but [ have
never had a good reason. Yesterday
| went out and made myself a reason. :
Maj. Frank w. Smith, head of tAe
Intelligence department, said it had
been discovered that one bundle con-
tanning $4,000 was taken by Capt.
Whistler.
