To Collect Tax "In this as in every ether section of the county, there will be conducted during the next two months an inter sive tax drive for the collection of delinquent sales and other miscellaneous taxes, such as the so called luxury tax, the soft drink tax, ihe admission tax, the manufacturer's tax. the tax cn jewelry and works of art. and the tax on toilet articles and proprietary medicines Report of laxity cn the part cf dea'ers and other persons responsible for the return and colleelion of these

taxes have reached the Bureau of Internal Revenue from many scources. "Information from the Sales Tax Unit of the Bureau of Inter nal Revenue is that many dealers in soft drinks and ice cream eith er are keening no record of the amount of tax collections from such sales, or that tnc record is insufficient or incorrect, "Special attention will be dir ected to the collection of this tax as well as to the tax on toilet article; and proprietary med'eine through the failure of retailers to collect in lull the tax of 1 cent for each 25 cents or fraction thereof of the amount for which toilet articles and proprietary medicine are sold, it is estimated the government is losing several million dollars annually. Last week Geo Wagner, Jos F. Friedman, Simple öermersheim. Robert Mehringer accompanied by Surveyor Lemme surveye the proposed change in market highway causintr it to come down Main street to 2d then west on second through the swamp to the Huntingburg road. Wagner estimates that it. will not require a fill of more than 10 feet for about d mile throuph the bottom to make the roid high enough at an additional $150,000.00 of the taxpayer money for the benefit of Geo Wagner et al on Main street, when the highway Commission has an excellent route west on 6 street and thus can save from $150.000.00 to $200,000.00 of the the tax payer money. The Cour ier man is? not interested and it the tax payers are cf a mind to let W agner and his gang put it over on them, well and good Male Biabs.

4 t GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE. Tho boy who at fifteen or sixteen must give np Iiis regular schooling and go to work needs all the help and encouragement that his employer can give him. Ills mind Is untrained. His will is undeveloped. Ills power of self-dependence Is weak. Ills ability to plan for himself and direct 'his efforts is poor. And yet he Is confronted with a man's problems, he must compete with mature minds, ho must tske care of himself in a new world where clear thinking, earnest endt avor and self-control are the de tennlnnt'hg factors. The hope, therefore, of the tifteen-.vear-old working hoy is his boss the man who can either make him or ruin him. Kach boy presents to his employer a wonderful opportunity. livery young Worker is a challenge to the nmn over him, for there before him is le material out of which can be molded an elhcient and faithful employee, whites William Marvin Jackson in Forbes Magazine. The boy Is there with his latent powers and energy; all he needs Is a boss of the right kind; a boss who will consider him not as a piece of machinery, not as a cog In the wheel, but as a human being a young fellow in whose veins flows red blood, whose possibilities are unlimited ! Public education officials Ui n number of states cive a doleful outlook for the future in the shortage of teachers. From different parts of the country comes the same cry of the difficulty of getting teachers on account of the Inadequate pay. Men and women whose services would be invaluable in training the rising gen eratlon and giving the nation a fine grade of citizenship, nre leaving this work for other less responsible, but hottor nnltl. nnil It Is tho most mistnkon klnd of oconomv which is let tIlR tliein KO Teachers should he amonR tll0 Wst pa!fl of tho I)Ui,iiC scrvnntP ror there is no work more IlnporttUit to the state than their, i.:snocIn,lv t this tIme whpn .inn-cr-ous thw;Ic.s nre threatening to wreck our government, is proper of the greatest moment. education Forests are among the greatest national resources.

DOi.1 OUEEI Due Recognition of Human Rights Now iiie Aim of Mankind, 11 Independence ha.. Is holy ground at the entrance to which, like Moses at the bush of fire, one should remove his rl'.oo; but It i-a!es into lnsiTii!k ::iu e hoside Jnierdependence hall which some day we must build across the street fron the "birthplace of American liberty." One hundred, two .Är-E5 score and threo 4ri' "-Ir years apo, the federation of the thirteen colonies Into a federal union was a political event of prime Import ; today It Is overshadowed by the thins of which Tennysoil dreamed. "The Federation of tho World." The Declaration of Independence is a state paper of such significance as to stand In a class by Itself. It Immortalized every man who signed it. "These united colonies are and of right ought to be free dnd independent states; absolved from all allegiance to the British crown; and all connection between them and Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved." So run the words of fire the idealism of which was to be made real if need be, by the lives, as well as the property and sacred honor of the signatories. But the Declaration Of Interdependence of all free peoples will overtop that of July 4177G, as the oak overtops the daisy. Great Patriotic Aim. But at that time Independence- was the biggest and best thing the fathers could purchase In a war of seven years. They could not enjoy the un alienable rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" while ruled by Great Britain, for to be subject to England meant to be robbed and exnlolted Jailed, oc hanged, at the behest of a half-mad German, George III, who wore the British crown. And so the patriots proposed to stand alone, to be Independent. They proposed an equitable self-rule on lines more liberal than ever had been tried ; thero were to be neither kings nor kinglets but rather a state of human equality. Across the water It was a dark day for human rights. In all Europe liberty was eclipsed; there was not one free people. Monarchs were supreme and more or less tryannlcal; and so, to stand alore and even aloof, as Washington ounseled, was to bö prudent ISw alliance was possible save with which they had just rencunct d kingcraft. Hut "the old order changeth, giving placeT to new." Today," in 191U7 the proper social desire of the individual Is to "live in n house by the side of the road and be a friend to man." And similarly, to live in the crossroads of the nations and show vital Interest In all that pertains to humanity is the proper attitude for tho nation. The setting for the next act on the world stage must be big enough for Interdependence and Internationalism. Interdependence is life and opportunity for both. "We must hang together or we will hang separately." By maintaining Independence and aloofness the fathers hoped to suc ceed; Isolation spelled safety, and so! they trusted that a deep, wide moat at their front door, the Atlantic ocean, would keep their foes at a distance of 3,000 miles while they should gain numbers and wealth and experience In governing themselves. They minted coins bearing the inscriptions, "Let Mej Alone'; and "Don't Step on Me," the! latter beneath the figure of a coiled' rattlesnake, and cutting themselves off from world politics and world inttrthey became a self-contained, selfiflielent people, enjoying freo nssoniy, free speech, free press and fre( cligion, but making Americanism dangerously near a big provincialism. We helped no other people to gain our glorious liberty. All was well If we were let alone by the politinl nnd warring world. Autocracy In Rout. But a new world order has come In. The western hemisphere is all free. China has astonished the world by electing a president. "The bear that walks like a man" becomes human for a fortnight and is free until his liberty, mistaken for license, enslaved him to the bolshevikl. France and Portugal are free; Great Britain, our ancient oppressor. Is free and Is our friend. The British empire is free, a galaxy of great self-governing peoples Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa all free, even though a figurehead king is its nominal head; but Lloyd George, democrat, not George V autocrat. Is the real ruler of the British empire! New for "Peace on Earth." Free peoples do not menace the tranquility of the world; they are not bent on conquest; they seek not to impose their will on their neighbors, even though the neighbor be weak nnd small. They covet nothing which is their neighbor's. They, stand for peace on earth and" goooT wilThmolig'men. The considerations alike of safety and ethics demand the observation of the golden rule among nations. On July 4, 1 770. t h oo 1 d L 1 b e rtybcll

the world I Where is the man who would not wish to live In that good world? Surely not one would pray with Simeon. ''Lord, lettest thou thy servant now depart In peace." I Let nil the free peo ple of the world send representatives to meet j in Independence hall. I Let them rrento nnd sicn n nnhlnr document thnn that which the fa- CoÖjfe thers made and signed; nobler and larger for one reason only the new document will bo tho Declaration of InI terdependence. That declaration will enable all free peoples to stand against the aggression of autocratic spoilers. It will assert the solidarity of all who stand for freedom and who love their feliow men. It will set forth the growing sense of human brotherhood. It will express in larger measure the high political Ideals of our time. It may not ring In a thousand years of peace, but It will herald that dawn When light shall spread, and man l liker man, , Through all tho circle of the colden 5 sar. One of the historic castle homes of England may be used as a hotel for the accommodation of American visitors. Europe Is bestirring itself to catch the tourist trade from this country to eke out the loans. The American dollar Is figuring largely In tho plans for reconstruction. HID ON MOUNTAIN TO ESCAPE DRAFT I Slacker Endured Semi-Starvation Rather Than Endure Perils of Army Service. St Johnsbury, Vt. Arrested as n slucker a year ago at his home hero, after he hid for several days In the mountainous regions about the city, placed In the servico at Camp Devens through tho selective draft operation, only to desert from there after two weeks, and since that time living a hermit's life on Victory mountain, Is the history of Elmer II. Cox, who has given himself up to the authorities and is now In a hospital under observation as to his sanity. Cox says he ate bark, berries, leaves, nuts and anything that he could get his hands on. He slept In high trees, Looking Half-Starved. j for fear somebody would capture him while he was sleeping, and walked in his bare feet so as not to leave any tracks. . From the first Cox took a great dislike to the war and had queer Ideas concerning the army and the draft. His number was called for examination by the draft board and he did not appear, nor could he be found. Several days later he was seen In the town and an ollicer trailed him to a rudely constructed shelter on Victory mountain overlooking a swamp near the city, and he was arrested. Ho passed the physical examination and was sent with several other rookies to Camp Devens early In June, 1018, and was accepted and placed In th infantry. About two weeks after he arrived there he was reported as missing at roil call andas time drew on and nothing was heard of his whereabouts, he was listed as a deserter and the government offered a reward of $100 for him dead or alive. While driving along on a highway tha; leads to about the foot of Victory mountain, Charles H. Howe of it. Johnsbury noticed a man, wrecked physically, covered with dirt and looking half-starved; half-walking and half-crawling along through the woods. He Investigated, discovered the Identity of the man and took him to town, where he was placed In the county Jail and later taken to a 'hospital.
