Much discussion is reported to
have been going on in the navy
as to the advisability of making
some changes in the methods of
conducting canteens on board
ship. These canteens are virtu-
ally small stores where enlisted
men may buy certain articles of
use, and the suggestion is made
that the government buy out the
present canteen stocks and place
them on a firm and businesslike
basis. Heretofore naval canteens
have been run on much the same
plan as the company fund in the
army. Under the arrangement
proposed the canteen would be
con d u c e d like army post
exchanges and would be under
the pay officer of a vessel, who
would replenish the stocks from
the most reasonable markets. In
this way the variety and quality
of the stocks of goods carried
would be increased, and the
profits would be disbursed for
the benefit of the men for whom
the canteenS are maintained.

The hunting season is almost
over now, but the fact stands
never-the- less Of discriminate
shooting by local nimrods or
small boys resulting in the death
of several head of cattle found on
the local ranges recently. The
killing is hardly believed to have
been done Intentionally but the
hunters should be more careful
as to what is aimed at, for in
several cases in has been found
that the cattle were killed bv
bullets from high power rifle,
many mile from any place that
would harbor game The shoot
ing of cattle or calves may result
in serious loss to the owner
especially in the spring, so all
hunters should notice oftener
what they shoot at.
