Where Do You Stand?
In spite of all that has been
said and done in regard to the
necessity of buying Liberty
Bonds, the fact remains that
some of our citizens who are
amply able to do so have not
bought any of these bondS.
It is a serious reflection up
on the loyalty and patriotism
of any American citizen who
is able to do so and refuses or
neglects to buy Liberty Bonds.
In Little Rock it is announc
ed that a list of those who are
able to buy Liberty Bonds and
do not do so, will be published
in order that the PATRIOTIC
CITIZENS may know who are
the SLACKERS- This is a good
rule and should be adopted in
Independence county and in
every other county in the state.
Did you ever stop and ask
yourself seriously if American
liberty means anything to you?
If it does, just try to put a
money value on it.
Its value cannot be measured
in dollars and cents. It goes
entirely beyond money. It lays
hold upon all the higher and
bigger things of life. It rep
resents things that no amount
of money can buy.
Nobody will attempt to deny
these facts. And yet, we find
enjoying this American liberty,
people who are so closely re
lated to the hog family that
they refuse to buy Liberty
Bonds
They hoggishly devour as
much as they possibly can of
the good things afforded them
under our great and priceless
system of American freedom,
but stubbornly refuse to lend
their money to their govern
ment in its hour of need.
“Slacker” does not begin to
describe this sort of a man. He
is many times worse than a
Slacker, and should be held in
contempt by the loyal, red
blooded Americans who are,
giving their lives, their time
and their money to perpetuate
the American freedom that
was bought with the priceless
blood of our forefathers.
The Slacker ought to be in
Russia, where he belongs and
where he would feel at home
among the Russian Bolsheviki
the nearest nothing on the face
of the earth in the form of a
man.
And here is a thought for
the farmer of Independence
county:
Independence county is an
agricultural county and the
farmers of this county should
remember the fact that the
present war has brought them
the greatest era of prosperity
they ever knew. The high
prices received by the farmer
the past fall and winter for
his cotton, corn, hay, livestock,
and all other farm products,
are a direct result of the war.
The war has brought you
much surplus money. Suerly,
you are not so unappreciative
and so unpatriotic as to refuse
to lend some of this surplus
money to your government in
its hour of need.
Are you an American citi
zen or are you a Bolsheviki?
Take your measure and see
what you are and what you
stand for.
Put Heavy War Tax on
all Worthless Dogs
There is one source oi en
eome that was overlooked by
'Congress when the war-tax bill
was passed, which should be
given immediate attention, and
that is the placing of a war tax
on dogs.
There are probably a hun
dred million dogs in the Unit
ed States that are absolutely
j worthless. They are not only
worthless but they are an eco
nomic drain upon the country
because of the fact that they
must be fed. The same amount
of food required to keep a dog
will keep a hog or a half dozen
hens.
It' about three-fourths of the
I dogs in the country were killed
and their places taken by hogs
or chickens, the country would
be far better otf.
A war tax of $5 should be
placed on all dogs, and -should
be increased in proportion to
the number of dogs kept by
each family. If only one dog
is kept, tax the dog $5; but if
two are kept, tax the second
dog $10; if three dogs are Kept
tax the third dog $20; if four
dogs are kept, tax the fourth
dog $40, and double the tax
for each dog where more than '
one is kept by a family.
At least 60 per cent of the
dogs of the country would be j
killed if we had such a law
thereby saving a quantity of
food sufficient to produce sev- j
eral million pounds of pork.
This would also greatly re
duce the heavy loss sustained
each year by the sheep grow
ers of the country and thereby 1
increase the supply of both
wool and mutton.
Only recently, right here in
our own county, a gang cfj
worthless dogs got into a dro\e
of sheep and in a tew hours
killed more than two hundred
dollars worth of sheep and
lambs for a farmer who has
done a great deal to encourage
sheep raising in this county. A
numberol lambs killed in this
instance were from a purebred
ram that cost the farmer $50.
He has no recourse because
there is no law in Arkansas
placing any restriction upon
dogs. Although he is clearly
entitled to collect damages |
from the owner of the dog, he j
cannot collect a dollar, there)
being no law in Arkansas mak-!
ing the owner of a dog respon- i
sible for any damage done by
the dog.
This is manifestly unfair and
unjust. If we cannot get a
heavy war tax placed upon
dogs, the next session of the
Arkansas legislature should at
least pass a law making the
owner of any dog or dogs res
ponsible for any damage done
by the dog. and in cases like
the one here mentioned, the
owner of dogs should be liable
for double damages where
dogs kill sheep or any other
food producing animals
The farmer who is unwilling
to raise $2.25 wheat should
esk hiniself if he is willing to
exchange places with his
boy who is facing Ger
man bullets for $30 a month.
Better feed the boys over
ther< now if we don’t want
to feed the Germans over here
later on.
Your good intentions will not
help win the war unless vou
put them into Liberty Bonds, j
Not a great many deserters
have been reported from Camp
Pike but there are always a
number on the list of'Missing.’
Every once in a while we see a
note that a deserter has been
shot, but it never happens in
this country. But they learn
that it is not a joke tor most ot
them get five years at hard
labor at some military prison,
as did two former ( amp Pike
men a few days ago. Most ot
the deserters gave as an excuse
that letters from home claimed
they were needed. Be careful
what you put in your letters to
the soldiers.
Plant seeds and grow bullets
Impossible, you say Not at
all. The great need of the al
lied forces on the front today
is ample supplies of food. The
need of the allied nations is
food. Without it the war
would prove a failure, it mat
ters not how many bullets we
mold and send across. Food
and more food is the cry, and
with it we will make effective
the bullets. Hungry soldiers
can have no heart for fighting
and ours must fight this war to
a finish. RAISE SOMETHING
TO EAT.
Get mad if you must, but
don’t fly off the handle. When
you express yourself others see
what’s in you and as a rule,
see less than they thought was
there; but if you are silent you
have them guessing and the
chances are that they will
think there’s more in you than
there really is—which will be
greatly to your advantage. *
