CAPTURES DESERTER
Young Man From Cord Seems
to Dislike Army Life

Last Thursday George Witt
captured Walter Arms, a de-
serter from Jefferson Bar
racks, St. Louis, Mo.
Arms, whose home is at
Cord, seems to have a decided
disliking for army life, this
being the third time he has
deserted. He deserted first
time from jefferson Barracks,
and returned to his home near
Cord where he remained some
time. He was captured by Of
ficers and taken to Fort Roots
1T Little Rock, from which
place he deserted. He was
captured by Mr.. Witt some
time ago after remaining at
his home for several months,
and was taken to Camp Pike
and from there was transfer
red back 20 jefferson Bar
racks. Here, it is said, he was
given a court-martial trial and
sentenced to twenty years in
the federal penitentiary, but
upon the promise of future
good behavior and the pleas of
Mr.. Witt the sentenced was
mmuted. After a few weeks
at jefferson Barracks, it is
said that he tried to secure a
furlough home, but could not
do so, whereupon he took
french leave and again came
home. When captured by Mr..
Witt each time Arms had dis
carded his uniform for civilian
clothes.
Arms voluntarily enlisted in
the army, having enlisted i'm
mediately after this country
entered the war against Ger
many.

Don't Cease Being Patriotic.

Now that the war is over, there is an in
clination on the part of many people to ask
for the redemption of War Savings Stamps
which they purchased few months ago.
These people have the mistaken idea that
the government does not need the money now,
since the war has ceased and some of the sol
diers are being discharged
Such is not the case, however The gov
eminent still needs an enormous amount OF
money, and people who insist on the redemp-
ton of their government securities at this time
are working an unnecessary hardship on the
government
Only last week The Jcurnal published a
news item from Little Rock stating that the
government payroll at Camp Pike amounts t.
approximately million dollars a month.
As yet very few men have been discharged
from the military service, and practically the
only decrease in the governments war expense
is the cost of ammunition
There are still more than four million men
in the service, and nearly two million of these
are still in France. These men must be
brought home and the entire army must be
paid clothed and fed until the men can be
mustered out of the service.
Government expenditures during the past
five months of fine current fiscal year amounted
to nine billion six hundred million dollars.
Expenditures for the month of November were
nearly two billion dollars, and the expenditures
for the first 16 days of December were more
than billion dollars. The proceeds of the
last Liberty Loan have all been spent and the
treasury department is now making plans to
float another Liberty Loan in April
The governments war expenses cannot be
reduced very materially before next May or
June. So the patriotic thing for every good
American citizen to do is to hold his War
Stamps. He should not only hold what he has
but should buy more stamps when the new Sc
ries are offered the first of the coming year.

Ten to twenty years in the penitentiary

than $4,000 is provided in bill intro duced
IN congress few days ago by Congressman w.
A 0ldfieid of this district as a penalty for

acted and enforced. Still if you want to be
sure to break into the penitentiary no differ
ence what laws are passed, steal a shoat or a
yearllng calf. The man who is able to steal by
the millions is net regarded in some quarters as
a thief at all. He is a financier, and able to
talk 'em out of it, when threatened with such
an insignificant instrument as the law.-Sharp
