ESCAPE But 300
HEAD PEMBERTON'S CATTLE
BELIEVED TO HAVE PERJSHED

Wednesday morning word reached
Broans that Feeders Ernest Harris
and E.. l.. McLain had escaped from
the 'ottom lands and found refuge
at Bad Devashor's. So sudden
was the food tide that they found
1t impossible to drive the 800 head
of cattle to safety. At last accounts
the animals were in deep water and
it is believed most of them perished
by drowning and were washed down
the river. Probably few might
have reached the banks by swimming
hnt this is highly improbable as the
swiFtness OF the current together
with ohstructions Of debris and ice
blocks would offer the worst kind
of resistance. These cattle are owned
by A, o. Pemberton, who is now all
sent ~ Slerfish, S. n. All the cot
tonseed cake, hay and grain We're
swept down the river The feed and
cattle easily represent an investment
of sa5 900.

TAXES IN GERMANY HEAVY
individuals Are Beginning to Feel That
Country Really Suffered Defeat
in the War;

The individual German has not be-
gun to feel the peace terms, finan-
cially.
During the war the Germans have
been loaning their money to the gov
eminent. This year they have begun
to give it.
There is an estate tax graduated as
poses the heaviest tax on the largest
inheritance from the most distant rel
alive.
A peculiar feature Of this law. illus
trating its severity, is q provision that
in no case may the tax exceed the
amount of the inheritance taxed. No
mean cousin can leave spite money"
which would compel the recipient to
pay more than he got, anyhow.
An income tax ranges to about 20
per cent as the income grows.
There is profits tax and a heavy
tax on wealth increases during the
war-to get the profiteers-the usual
taxes for revenne, heavier than ever,
and a capital levy is being considered.
With food, coal and clothing short.
they are bound to. add TO the discon-
tent. Agitators will make the most of
the crisis.
But Germany has weathered two
crises as serious: In the most difficult
months just after the surrender a year
ago; and the peace conference period,
when she woke up, as loser. to the
terms.
