Paul Little Will Send a Rifle Team to Ohio to Compete
 For National Honors.

Little Rock. July IA. -Adju- tant General Paul Little has re- turned from Greenwood where he has been very busy shipping his peach crop, when he was summoned back to Little Rock by a message from Gov. Pindall. He announces his father is get ting stronger and is enjoying a quiet life, which the members of the family will not permit him to leave at any time, no matter how strong he may get in the future. He is now figuring on sending a rifle team to Camp Perry. Ohio. to compete for nat ional honors. This conclusion was reached when the records made by the State guard officers in competitive shoot at Fort Lo- gan H. Roots, when they were encamped there, were announced. Some of the scores were almost equal to the regular army records and Adjutant Gen. Little then realized with a little practice, these riflemen could bring honor to the State guard, so will allow a picked squad to go to the Ohio camp at whatever time the gov- ernment selects.
