A Wonderful Escape.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the escape of a white man
from the indians was that of John
Golfer, famous hunter and trapper.
On the day in question he and his
companion were surrounded by six
hundred savage warriors. The COM
panion was instantly killed and Golfer
was captured. His foes had no in
tention Of saving his life, however;
they wanted the sport of putting him
to the torture, or at least of playing
with him as a cat plays with a mouse.
The chief asked him if he could run.
He said, "Not much"
He was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed.
and most of the six hundred savapes
set off after him. There was plain
before him six miles wide, bounded on
the far side by river fringed with
trees. Golfer had always been famous
as runner, and his practice now stood
him in good stead. He made straight
across the plain for the stream, and
the yells of his pursuers lent him
wings. His foes had removed every
shred of clothing from his body, and
the plain was covered with prickly-
pears, so that his unprotected feet
were lacerated at every stride.
Halfway across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only a few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on.
and soon realized that one of his pur-
suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his effort, and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe of trees was near, but
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by a sudden inn
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and
faced the savage with outstretched
arms.
The Indian was so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This wa. Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear. and pinning his antagonist TO
the ground, ran on.
Other savages came on, aercer than
before at the death of their comrade
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
into their midst and then into the
river, and swan to a pile of driftwood
mat had lodged. He dived beneath il |
and stuck his head UP between two
logs covered with smaller tmbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed to find
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily thew did
not fire it, as he feared they would
Al last they went away. Then Golfer
swan out and fled through the forest.
Seven days he went on, living on
roots and berries, with no clothing lin.
I'll at last he reached a trading post on
The Bighorn river. He never fully re-
covered from the effects of this terrible
experience.

NO REDUCTION
 OF FEDERAL TAX
LAW WILL APPLY 70 1921 CALENDAR YEAR.

Washington. - It is now a practi- cal certainty that there will be no re ductions of federal taxes on business for calendar year of 1920 payable next year and that no relief can be expect ed until after the inauguration of a new president. Any changes in the law will apply to the calendar 1921.
 Although agitation for repeal of the excess profits tax Is increasing in volume, leaders of both parties agree that there is little probability of any action in this direction or in the al rection of fundamental revision of the revenue laws at the approaching meets in December.
 While the administration and a majority of the Republicans are iu favor of repeating the excess profits tax the Democrats and Republicans are at variance on proposed substi tutes, and moreover, the Republicans are insistent upon revising the tariff upward for protective as well as rev enue purposes if any revision is au tempted.
 For these reasons any bill embody ing fundamental amendment which might be passed at the short session would be likely to be vetoed by Presi dent Wilson. Moreover. with the ap propriation bills to be disposed ol there will not be sufficient time dur ing the short session to frame anc pass any far-reaching revision.

MUST DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO PROTECT THIS YEARS
 CROP.
WILL DISTRIBUTE SURPLUS
Where Food and Feed Is Needed 1t Should Be Purchased in Arkan- sas From Those Who Have
 Enough and To Spare.

Little Roek.-ln an effort to i'm prove the agricultural and marketing situation in this state, the Arkansas Bankers Association is sending out a circular letter to the member banks over the state, requesting that they take measures to protect the states feed crop this year and to distribute its benefits over the entire state.
 The plan originally was suggested by w. A Hicks. vice president and cashier of the American Bank of Com merce and Trust Company. The plan as outlined in a circular letter that Is being sent to association members by Robert E. Wait. secretary of the bank CTS association. is as follows:
 Your cooperation, through the association office as a clearing house, in the plan suggested herein by a member of our Executive Council, may enable you to be of assistance, first, to some of your own Rrmer GUS toners and second. to the farmer GUS toners of banks in other sections of the. state. thereby materially improv- ing the whole agricultural and mar keting situation.
 Tn view of the prospects for a good harvest of cotton, corn and othep feedstuffs, and in the light of the enor- nous amount of money that has gone out of the state in the past through perchase of food and feed, we want to do everything we can to protect our feed crop this year just as far as pos sible, and distribute its benefits over the whole of Arkansas.
 There are excellent crop condi- tions in certain parts of the state and there are other sections where condi- tions are not so good; also there are some sections of the state where it is all cotton and no feed and other parts where that condition is just the re verse-in which sections there will be surplus of food and feed. We may help to even up this unequal sit uation Where food and feed is need ed 1t should be purchased in Arkansas from those who have enough and to spare. The favored food and feed sections will be selling their surplus and that surplus should not go out ot until after all Arkansas has N 6H supplied
 &efore, please write the secre t&ry q Conservative estimate of your own food and feed situation. If your people are going to have to buy food and feed, this survey. we hope, will enable us to tell you where they can buy 1t in rkansas. If your people have food and feed to sell, and you will let us know it, we will be able to get this information to those who are going to have to buy. In other words, if you will cooperate we will be able to swap the information re ceived to the advantage of all."
