milton is used according TO tho regu
lations for target practice In add
ton to furnishing free ammunition
Tor all target practice, the state de-
partment Is instltutIng this year a
system OF rewards and rankings for
marltsmen who have qualified under
the prescribed course set by the de-
partment. These courses OF shooting
are fully described In a recent order
OF the department and include
number OF classes for both rifle and
revolver shooting, All national
guardsmen who complete courses Of
shooting as set out in the order and
who make as high as so per cent
perfect scores, that Is 200 hits out OF
possible ESQ, will be ranked as
'marksmen" and will be given a pin
showing that the record has been
made with a rifle or revolver
Higher ranks are designated as
'sharpshooters and expert marks
men" and are designated by CORE
spending pins, Moreover the pins
are so arranged that additional bars
may be added TO them every year for
continued records In the class in
which they we're awarded. Thus the
wearer of a pin shows at once that
he has achieved rank as a marksman
and also shows the number OF years
that he has held that rank. In order
to encourage general excellence in
various companies, the department Is
offering an additional prize of a cup
or other trophy to be selected by the
winning company, to the value of at
least $50, to the company which be-
tween June and October 81, this
year shall have qualified the great
est number OF marksmen.
Troop B has a number of men OF
statewide note as marksmen and
these will undoubtedly take high
place in the state tournament. The
number OF men on the roster Is, how
ever, smaller than that which many
other companies have so the troop
would be at little disadvantage in
trying for the company prize. II
more men are secured the company
may try and members of the troop
are now planning to that end.

the ground with fire fighting appa-
ratus at least several minutes before

tion can arrive. AS the first few min
utes of fire are the critical ones so
tar as avoiding serious conilagra-
ton is concerned, the advantage OF

new company, was the first paid
driver OF the Amarillo fife depart
ment and continues his membership
now as one OF the members. He is
thus a thoroughly experienced fire
f liter and will make an able leader

Kansas City, June 11,-There was
no livestock market today on account
of the flood.
Flood conditions here have bet
tered little this morning. The
Kaw river began falling before day
light and the water has steadily re-
coded from the inundated district.
The Missouri continued to rise slow
ly, but can do no additional dam
age at this point. The Kaw became
stationary at Kansas City at O clock
this morning when it reached the
stage OF 2S.1 feet. The Missouri at
z o'clock stood 1913 feet, a rise OF
one foot since O'Clock last night.
The weather bureau predicts that
the Missouri will continue to rise for
twenty hours. All railroads are in
operation at the union station this
morning except the Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific, whose bridges
are still under water The water is
still half block away from the sta
ton and with the fall In the Kaw
river all danger OF water reaching
that structure is passed. In the stock
yards the water is recedlng fast, but
business is paralyzed and no stock
is being moved The water still
stood several feet deep in one-fourth
of the hog pens and there was two
feet of water in the basement OF the
stock exchange. Despite the fact that
of persons are homeless in
Armourdale and Argentine, there -
no actual distress and the citizens
Of Kansas City, Kan, are taking care
Of all the needy.
