ACCORDING TO
 WHERE YOU LIVE
DEMURRAGE WILL BE CHARGED ON A SLIDING SCALE IF BILL INTRODUCED BY CROCK FIT GETS BY OUR LAW
 MAKING BODIES.

Here is new departure in demur- rage that has been introduced in the House by MT. Crockett. Its wording is rather ambiguous, but it is quite easy to fathom the meaning of the author The sliding scale of demur- rage, giving the inland merchant ad- ditional time in which to unload his goods, is not without it's attractions, but it will not release cars, and that is what the railroads must have to give service.
 The bill follows:-
 Section l. That Section 8184 of kirby's Digest of the laws of the State of Arkansas be amended as fol- lows:
 Section 8184-All package freight unloaded by railroad companies in their depots and warehouses, and all freight which in order to release cars unloaded in the yard space of railroad company which is not removed by the owner thereof from the custody of the railroad company within forty eight hours, PROVIDED the con- signee of said package freight lives within a radius of ten miles of said freight depot, and seventy-two hours where the consignee of said package freight's resident is over ten miles and within twenty-five miles of said depot and ninety-six hours where consignee's resident is over twenty five miles from depot, computing from seven o'clock A. M. of the fol- lowing legal notice of arrival, may be subject to the charge for each day or fraction of such day that they may remain in the custody of the rail road company, as follows: On less than carloads, not more than one cent per hundred pounds per day or frac- tion thereof; in carload quantities not more than ten cents per ton of two thousand pounds per day or fraction of a day; PROVIDED, that in no case shall the amount so collected for storage of a less than carload ship ment exceed the amount authorized to be charged as storage on a carload of similar freight for the same length of time not unloaded from car, as pro- vided by this act.

WOLF HOLLOW.

The pack of wolves which range in my territory make their home in Wolf Hollow, the head of branch in Perry county, just north of Jape Bos- hears. They whipped out Jim Worthy's dogs a few days ago and then later they started in on Davie Boyett's and B. w. Higginbotham's and tried to clean them out. They act as if they had a sign of "no dogs allowed here" and promised to make the dogs obey it. Boyett and Higginbotham were deer hunting when MT. Higginboth- am started to his dogs. He saw his dogs at some distance standing up facing a big wolf about eight feet away, each daring the other. MT. Higginbotham's dog is great big black one, but he said it looked like a fee beside the wolf Further west, the day before Christmas, MT. Higgin- botham, while deer hunting, killed a big grey wolf and he now has the hide, which IS fine piece of fur, and he will keep it.
 MT. Higginbotham says it is hard to poison wolves if you put the poison all through the meat, as they will throw it up as soon as it begins to make them sick He has succeeded in poisoning them by putting the poison in capsules. By the time the capsule is dissolved the meat is near ly digested and they cannot throw it up. He also says that a wolf when 1t makes q good kill will eat all it possibly can and go to it's den and near there will vomit it up and bury it for future use. He says they have found it buried thus. There is a
The Pulaskian., 1919-02-07

big sheep and goat ranch going in near by. He expects the wolves to have a picnic A man nearby had sheep once but the wolves got most of them. One night one wolf killed 13 sheep.
 Just after MT. and Mrs. Higgiboth- am married his mother died and left them 45 hens. About that time their dogs died, then the wild cats caught all but 12 of their chickens. They then got more dogs, but by that time the cats were so bold that they caught chickens right under the house. The puppies tackled them though and showed them better, and it was not long until they had good stock of chickens on hand, which they have continued to have ever since, thanks to the dogs. Without dags, chickens. pigs, sheep, nor goats could be raised in all the mountain region of Pulaski county. If dog law is passed it should be one to regulate the dogs and not to tax them, for dog is just as dangerous when taxed as before and taxing would allow the people with money in the cities to keep val uable pets, which it would often pre- vent the farmer who needs dogs to keep them. In thickly settled regions and cities where dogs are not needed ard dangerous and nuisance, pro hibit them altogether, but on farms and other places where needed allow them to be kept free. But rid Ar kansas of dogs, the farmers wife cannot raise chickens, and the wolves will catch all the sheep, goats and pigs, even in the most of Pulaski county, which contains the capital city.

USE FOR TOBACCO STEMS.

One man told me tobacco stems piled around the root of peach trees would keep the borers out. The next man said they would not only keep the borers out, but were the finest fcrtiler for peaches ever used. The third man said he used to raise tobac- co here, sell it with printed informa- ton to theeffect that it would keep the borers out, but he does not be- ieve it will now. Anyway if you are going to use tobacco, why not raise 1t and put at least the stems and stalks to a good use?
 have been using sassafras tea for a month nearly. It's cheaper than coffee, especially when you have a kind friend who will dig it and prlng it to you free gratis, and l believe Il makes me feel better.

SURVIVOR OF MANY BATTLES

he came to know and to love as strong men love brothers and tried friends.
 To see these men slain, to find them bleeding to death in pools of blood, to enter dug outs over which shell has broken and find four or five friends thrown into each other s arms, and all dread to hear the screams of mortal pain and the agonizing calls for help it is all this that makes it impossible for men who have been in the front to talk of it. A number of men from Little Rock have returned. One prominent young doctor came home with misplaced spine and one lung only, a shell having thrown him against stone wall and gas having deadened his lung forever. Another young marine officer came home crippled and aged But it is not the physical pain they themselves suffer, though this is maddening at times, but rather the calls made for help that cannot be given and the pain to others One of the young men referred to above, went into the face of fire with company. A little later, he with three companions alone remained Throwing their arms around each other they wept like babies over their mutt. lated clan. Nor do these men so soon forget that they can come home and glib ly tell of what they saw and did. When men brave enough to fight as these men fought, break down and cry at the men tion of certain incidents, the fearfulness of the famous truth ssWar is hell'' is brought forcibly to mind.
 Dr. Boyce is able to get around. He will be treated at Camp Pike hospita until he can be released He does not now talk of the scenes and suffering: through which he has passed only to give some general statements and to say il necessary to he would go through il again.

DIR. S. G. BoYcE OF PULASKI HEIGHTS REACHES CAMP PIKE HOSPITAL.

Dr. $. G. Boyce with scars of ten bat tie wounds on his body has reached home having escaped with his life and most of his physical body after he had seemed certain his time had come to be numbered with victims of the Hun.
 Since early spring Dr. Boyce has been in front line service and has been in the heart of the horror of many battles the people at home have read of. Prior to September 29 he had received number of wounds, none of which kept him from his post of duty. On Septem- Der 29th a German shell broke sending pieces of metal weighing pound com pletely through his upper right leg and tearing the flesh away to the bone. After he had fallen and lay unconscious he was shot through one arm the bullet making its way and leaving an open track. He was also gassed and got infected with gas gangrene. He underwent four opera tions and several times was given up to  die.
 During the time he was in the hospital in Veazy he was under the care of Dr. - Rose of Little Rock, grandson of the late Judge U. M. Rose.
 Dr. Boyce speaks in terms of the high est praise of the wonderful work Dr. Rose is doing and feels that the state should be proud of him.
 The need was great for doctors. The call for nurses was much more adequately filled than that for doctors and every doctor and surgeon in the ranks had many more men than could be well looked af- ter under his care. Dr. Boyce looked after a thousand men. Many of these

SENATE PASSES A BILL TO PER. MT SALE OF SIXTEENTH SEC TION LANDS WHERE NO IN- HABITANTS RESIDE, AFTER

 pass from the community, and that Athe funds would do no one any good

In Clasp of the Sea.

The sounds Of voices and of NOV
ing bodies were plainly discernible,
but the darkness was too dense below
to permit the eye perceiving what was
taking place. The rattle of steel told
me some among them had reached the
arm rack. There followed the crash
of wood as though the butt of a gun
had splintered a door panel. Then a
voice pierced the babel. My mind
grIpped the meaning of it all; they
had found a leader: they had released
Manuel Estevan. Now the real fight
was onl T'could hear the fellow Ques-
