short by two and a half months. IL
the militia does not feel the effects of
it, 1t Is likely the range will be closed
each year before the guardsmen go
away to camp.

is being held today, and will be finish
ed tomorrow afternoon. The recruits
who have enlisted during the last few
weeks are being taught how to ma
nipulate their rifles. When they go
to camp this year they will not be the
"rookies" generally seen at each en-
campment.
While there will be several care
takers on the range during the fall
and spring. no guardsman will be al
morrow night The last two days of
the target season have been given over
to the recruits
The range was scheduled to have
closed several days ago, but owing to
the fact that the number of enlist
ments of men unfamiliar with mill
tary matters is unusually large this
year the officials decided to postpone
the closing.
