CONTEST FOR NARkSNEN
GEN. LLBBEY TRYING TO ARRANGE
FOR AN INTERSTATE
SHOOT

Minnesota National Guardsrnen will be
glad to learn that an effort will be made
TO nave an interstate shoot this year.
1t Is now exactly ten years since this
state has taken part in a shooting con-
test where the Northwestern states have
been represented, and Adjutant General
Libbey is determined TO revive, If pos
Slole, the yearly programme which was
always a feature in National Guard cir
cles. The state of Illinois now has the
Washburn trophy which is a large silver
bison head, valued at $500. Minnesota
held this trophy for many years, but in
1891 Illinois won it, and has held 1t since
that time, for the reason that interstate
shoots fell out OF fashion.
There is to be large interstate shoot
this fall at New Jersey, at which marks
men from fifteen states will take part,
but Gen. Libbey says Minnesota cannot
be represented there, because the Iegis-
1ative appropriation is not big enough.
For this reason he is all the more anxious
to get up an interstate contest for sharp
shooters in states near to Minnesota
He will communicate with adjutant-gen-
erals in other states, and leave no stone
unturned to accomplish his purpose. All
National Guard officers are backing him
up in his efforts.
The target practice at Lake City Will be
merly this year. Each battalion will
have a day for the exclusive use of the
range and the shooting will not be done
promiscuously. Every guardsrnan, to be-
come a marksman, must get los points.
All marksmen are entitled to try for the
sharpshooter's badge. A sharpshooter
must secure 165 points out of 30. Ten
sharpshooters are always selected for the
regimental teams and these teams hold
contests to see who will compose the
team for the interstate shoot The ten
best sharpshooters IN the state will re-
present Minnesota in the big shoot, and
this year Minnesota Will once more have
a chance to recover the Washburn trophy.

PARENTS ARE TO BLAME
SENATOR CLAPP SAYS SOME PLAIN
WORDS TO BUSINESS
MEN

81 tell you, gentlemen, the trouble with
our youth lies with their parents They
are too fond of seeing their boys wear
creased pants, stand-up colalrs, and the
like, and do not want them to soil their
hands,
Thus spoke United States Senator
Clapp at the fourth annual banquet OF
the Northwestern Manufacturers asso-
citation at the Merchants hotel last
night. His trend Of thought was brought
on by the speech Of the man who spoke
before him, Oliver Crosby, who had
stated that skilled journeymen were
much needed. The speaker continued
with the following words:
This country has a great and glorious
destiny, but, in spite of ourselves, we
are forced to doubt sometimes when we
see the pathway which many Of our
youth are following. You must remem-
Der that back Of all our institutions there
is a material physical force and there Is
the great manufacturing spirit in this
country. Our youth ought to think more
of what is really good and fit for them
selves and then follow their destiny with
answering steadiness. They ought not
to be afraid to sod their hands or to do
physical labor If a man is a good me-
chanic he is something" He said much
more in the same strain, winding up with
some short reference to the great work
accomplished for this state by James J.
Hill, president Of tho Great Northern
railroad
Mr. Crosby, president of the American
Hoist and Derrick company, spoke about
the School Of Mechanical Science and
the Workshop" He said most Of the
boys employed by him were American
born, but that their parents were foreign
born, showing that parents from foreign
countries did not despise trades.
A K Pruden spoke on the subject,
''The Railroad and the Factory He
said that the railroads and factories Of
the state and country work hand in
hand, as it were, and that the former
can make or brealt.p They develop the
future resources of the country and II
there were ne railroads it would seem
as If we were hemmed in by a Chinese
wall. Factories spring up through the
encoura cement of cooperation by rail-
roads, and the great magnates of the
country are the far sighted men who
look to future development"
The menu began with blue points to
make the banquet strictly a Ia mode,
end ended with cheese, coffee and crack

Howls about the new playing rules arc

while others promise to do some new
tricks which they say will now be pos

the rules will work out all right, and that
they will prove great boon to the game.
He has faith in the fact that the men
who made the changes did so only after
long consideration and thinks that a
good trial will prove that they were In
the right.
