MEETING FOR THE FORMATION Q
OF A RIFLE CLUB.

Wednesday evening March 30. at
eight o'clock there will be meeting
at the office of DIR. G. II. Fischer
for the purpose of organizing North
Park Rifle Club to be affiliated with
the National Rifle association of
America citizens between the age
of 16 and 45, who are interested are
invited to attend.
Some reasons why such club should
be formed and why you should Join
You secure guns and ammunition at
greatly reduced prices. The U. s.
magazine rifle, caliber 80, model 1903
costs $500. This gun cannot be
purchased at any price unless you
are member of the rifle association.
One of similar quality would cost
you about $40, ammunition for it come
at about half price.
Colts Army Special" revolver
caliber 3S can be bought for $1,000
and the Smith and Wesson 3S for
S12.25. You know what these costs
at retail
Joining the club does not neces-
sarily mean that you have to blow
yourself for rifle or revolver. Sew
eral persons may use the same weap
on. Your only immediate outlay is
SO cents for membership fee.
Becoming member of the Rifle
Association entails no military duty
as does membership in military co
pany. You are subject to no drill
ling under dapper military offisiers.
The above reasons are selfish. 1t
is the duty of every patriotic ameri-
can citizen to be a good shot. We
sincerely trust we may never again
have to fight foreign country or
to defend our homes against the in
vader; but the time may come, and
if it should, let us be prepared to gi
give a good account aof ourselves.
Anyone belonging to this club can
compete In any National rifle meet
in the country anywhere.

OF course If you are too young to

you may not enjoy the Youths Com

statement, however, for hosts Of chill

dim who like nothing better than to
sit and listen to the Companion stori

can neither speak nor hear have been
cheered by the Companion, its con-.

them through the finger tips of fir
friends. The reading of the Youths

campaign In behalf of the Inter-na-
tional Dry Farming Congress, which
is to hold its next big agricultural
convention and exposition In Colora-
do Springs, during the week of Octo-
ber 10th. The railroads have great
faith in the dry farming movement
! as direct means to greater agri-
cultural prosperity, and is meaking
el very effort to assist the Dry Farm
ing Congress in its up lift work anon
the farmers. The Rock Island has
furnished free of all expense the pres
ent dry farming special, and will
| later on, place at the disposal of the
Congress similar educational trains
for trips in Kansas, Oklahoma and tn
Southwest. On board the special are
professors from the state agricultural
college. and some of the most noted
farming experts in the west, and at
lures have been received with the
greatest enthusiasm Prof. Cottrell
| is strongly advocating the planting
of milo and the raising of hogs The
is great scarcity of pork in each
of the large western packing centers
and by the use of milo as a food
he believes that the plains will soon
become the great pork producing sec
tion of the west. Milo is dry land
crop and never fails he told the
crowd at ARABIA An average yield
OF milo will produce 400 pounds of
pork to the acre, and from actual
experience find that such meat
is whittier than corn fed pork, and con-
sequently brings higher prices. Ten
bushels of milo has feeding value
equal to nine bushels of corn, for
any purpose. He is also urging the
planting of flax this year, as
there is an extraordinary demand
Secretary John T. Burns, of the
Dry Farming Congress is making an
address at each stop, urging study
among the farmers, and telling of the
purposes of the congress. This is
world wide organization, that is
working for better agricultural con-
ditions, especially in the west, and
ia composed mainly of farmers az we
| as meany leaders in agricultural
science. He also edits the Dry
Farming Congress Bulletin, now pub
lished at Colorado Springs. This is
a semi-mointhly publication devoted
entirely to the interests of the dry
farmer. One of the most interesting
members of the party is Mrs John T
Burns, secretary of the newly or
! ganized International Congress of
Farm Women, which will hold joint
meetings with the Dry Farming Con-
gress at Colorado Springs next Octo-
ber. Mrs. Burns is one o f the lead
ing spirits in this movement, which
stands for the uplift of the home and
the safeguarding of the strength and
happiness of the women and child
ren of the farm. At each point she
has made exceedingly interesting talk
on the purpose of the womens con-
gress, and from the intense interest
displayed by the women, it is certain
that the coming ,sgconvention will
prove a notable event.
Crowds have greeted the dry farm
ing special at every stop, and in
many places it has been found neces
sary to hold open air meetings, not
withstanding the ample seating capac
ity of the eight cars.

some serious thinking on what
soil fertility means and the con-
ditions that must be supplied to
enable the plant to use it.
The lesson has been a severe
one; but not only farmers, but all
classes of citizens, need severe
lessons of adversely in order that
they may be compelled to learn
wisdom. Fortunately, in the dry
sections nature has been doing a
good job of blowing. such as no
plow could do, and preparing the
