Ordinary fox hounds would not run this animal Bunk billiard and other we'll known hunters of this coun- ty tried time and again with their packs but failed to cap- ture him, so Tom billiard, a former citizen of this county but now of Sulphur Springs, Texas, was notified of this uncatchable varmint roam ing woods of his old stamp ing ground, defying all the dogs of the county and caus- ing many mothers to feel anxious when their children left for school, then it was ee decided to bring his pack of invinceable wolf hounds to Arkansas and bring an end to it all-

 The drive was started: the dogs soon found the track and in less than fifteen min- utes after the wolf was sight ed the famous dogs of Tom billiard had him at their mercy. MT. Wolf soon lay a corpse, and was viewed by at least a thousand within a few hours. This monster 0 the woods measured 5 feet 3 inches long and was about 3 feet high.

BY HERBERT HOOVER,
Secretary of Commerce.

The year 1921 has been marked by
real progress toward real peace. NJ
year in the worlds history has brought
forth the same degree of international
understanding in the direction Of peace
among nations.
The arms conference, II it accom-
plishes what this Government hopes
for. will be the greatest single force
to bring peoples of the earth to reali-
zation of the fact that peace 10 the
best policy.
In an economic sense reduced arma-
ment will have vital effect in re-
etoring foreign currencies to. an eQui-
librium and of stimulating freer inter.
course among nations.
America In keenly concerned In bet
ter relationships in international trade.
IT is more directly concerned now in
the problem of making 1t possible for
men and women to follow lives Of use
fitness, of having their earnings count
in a productive way, and to avoid the
| international disgrace Of squandering
the peoples money in war and war
plans.
Economic progress is assured IL we
can wipe out the terrible costs incident
to war and divert that financial
strength to the productive channels Of
peace.
After all, the answer to our interna-
tional problem is this: Make people,
by less burdensome tax costs, feel
that there is an object in accommodating
their savings for investment, and not
for the purpose of having those saw
ings confiscated for Government uses
in war making or war planning.
