NEED TARGET PRACTICE.
Many of the New Regulars Don't
Know How to Shoot.


Washington special: In discussing
the fact that three-fourths of the reg
ular soldiers now in Cuba do not know
how to shoot, Colonel Phil Reade,
whose inspection reports have become
the talk of the department, says the
soldiers at present might as we'll be
armed with gaspipes," and he contin-
ues "a soldier is armed so that in bat
tie he can hurt somebody. A workman
is presumed to know how to use the
tools of his trade. What a tool is to u

1T should be made a part of the duties
oil officers to see that sighting drills,
position and aiming drills, and gallery
practice with reduced cartridges be
had by every uninstructed man,
coupled with measuring and estimate
ing distances.
"A soldier who uses his rifle only to
drill with occasionally, and not to
shoot with, is an object of ridcule,
but not of laughter. The lack of abil-
lty is too serious a matter to be
laughed at. On the battlefield of the
future the soldier who has not received

be gravely regarded. Good rifle shots
are not born such; they are made such

able features. Perhaps in the future we
will meet with the house committee but
nothing definitely In that line has been
arrlnged.

HaIl Bearings on tho Farm.

1t is probably safe prediction that all
manufacturers of harvesting machinery
Will eventually adopt ball bearings wher-
ever it is possible to use them. In 1891
the Deering Harvester Company OF Chi
cago equipped all their machines with
ball and roller bearings, and the great
popularity of the idea led other manufac-
turers to experiment with several styles
of roller bearings, hoping to apply them
to their machines without appearing to
initiate the originators too closely. The
application of ball bearings is more cost.
~ but popular demand will yet force all
competitors to follow the lead of the
Deering Company.
