Military Training at University of
 Arizona.

AohOu Ah AOVO' OaiiNO ANOO oh off of the army has been on duty with the university all the time, except for about one year.
 All male studente of the univer- city, of the sophomore and fresh man classes and of the preparatory department, are required to take military drill, except those who may be excused for cause by the president.
 The last Cadet battalion consist sd of sixty-two cadets, divided into two companies of approximately the same strength. Drill was held on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day of each week, between 8 and g o'clock in the morning, and consisted principally of drill in the schools of the soldier, squad, company and battalion-both close and extended order. Besides the regular weekly drill, an encamp- ment was held at Sabino canyon for one week in the spring-about April 1.
 At camp, military exercises were held every morning up to 11:30 o'clock, after which hour, cadets, not being in the punishment squad, were at liberty to go where they wished, being back in time for re- treat roll call at sundown. At night a guard was posted from dark till about 10 o'clock. The cadets performed all regular camp duties, except cooking, but they helped about the kitchen, cleaning up. bringing wood, water etc. The camp ground is admirably located for the purpose, but is small. Ex- celent water is close at hand, and bathing in the creek was a favorite amusement of the cadets. The corps always came back from camp healthy and sunburned, and we'll rested mp mentally to begin again the work of their classes
 The object of military training in colleges and universities Is two fold. First comes the physical training, teaching more or less dexterity in handling arms, march. ing and carrying the body correct ly. Second, the necessary mental training connected with the above, and the medication of principles of patriotism and of obedience.
 The effect of the physical train ing is very marked. The cadets come to us as awkward, uncou;h boys, not knowing how to stand up or walk correctly. Their hands are in the way all the time, they are awkward, and in facing about they stumble over themselves. After six weeks drill at the school of the soldier, together with setting Hp exercises, the change for the better is very marked, They be- come dexterous in handling arms, they walk erect and with confidence jn them selves, their whole carriage begins to show marked improve ment. The regular drill periods, the regular, systematic exercises in the open air, does much more for them as body than individual training in athletics, in fact the military drill prepares all alike for the further special development necessary to make football or track men. The wearing of the same uniform tends to foster a college spirit that can be developed in no other way. The whole of the drill is to teach them team work, and

HUNTERS TO PROTEST
Proposal Made to Forbid
Hunting In Five B e t
Counties---To Oppose Bill.

Local hunters are up. IN arms
against the passage of assembly
bill No. 2O2A, introduced by
Assemblyman Stevens by re-
quest. The bill is All amend
ment to paragraph B of Section
40, relating 10 the hunting OF
deer. The section sought to be
amended has heretofore prOvld-
ed that no deer should he killed
in various counties of the south
ern part of the state, and II the
counties of Door and Shawano
until November 1st, 1912. The
amendment is in the form of an
addition comprising the words:
"Nor in the counties of Oneida,
Iron, Villas, Florence and Forest
until Nov, II, 1916"
The best deer hunting of the
state is in these counties and
there is scarcely a local hunter
who does not visit one or more
of them each season. Locally
no reason for the law can be
conceived.
In all Of the counties that will
be affected by the proposed law
there are numerous resorts which
depend to considerable extent up
on the revenue for support which
comes from visitors during the
deer hunting season. If that is
taken away at least some OF
them will be forced to close up
because it will not pay to Oper-
ate their resorts only during the
fishing season. From all over
that region it is expected there
will be a vigorous protest as
soon as the nature of the law is

PASSUMPSIC.
by Fire and IL Hogs Burned
Locals.

Three barns on the farm owned
by J. d. Gould of this village and
occupied by William Whiteman were
destroyed by fire early last Wednes-
day morning. All the hay and grain
and IT hogs were lost The loss
is heavy and there is small insurance
Mr. Gould supposed he had $3.50
insurance but a mistake in the policy
will reduce it about 5000 Mr.
Whiteman who rented the place
loses the hogs and crops and had on
ly $500 insurance on that and his
household goods. So the loss of the
two men will be several thousand
dollars above the Insurance. The
cause of the fire is not known. The
hired men went to the barn about
five o'clock in the morning to feed
the stock and afterwards returned to
the house only to see a fame in one
of the little stables where they had
not been that morning with Ian
tern. Neibhbors turned out to help
rescue the cattle.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.
Bradstreets Finds That Christmas
Trade Needs Sleighing.


Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week all emphasize the need of snow
for sleighing in order to tone up
holiday trade. The stocks of holi-I
day goods are full and early shop
ping has commenced in a small way.
Seasonable goods have been in fair
demand but retail trade is said to
be smaller year ago this
time Lumbermen would welcome a
good snow fall as it would assist
them in ability to move logs to mills.
Labor is reasonably well employed
as rule. Reports of an increase in
working time and force of one or
two plants were received the past
week. Among the wholesale firms
demand in new business in boot and
shoe line said only fair. Not much
of an increase is looked forward to
among garment manufacturers I'M
til after the first of the coming year.
The confectionery trade this year
has been particularly heavy. Food
stuffs have moved in a uniform man
ner. Reports from marble manu-
facturers state business for spring
shipments is coming in well. Farm
ers are receiving high prices for
products and an increased price of
dairy products is noted. Potatoes
are, selling at a much increased price
over what they were two months
ago. Collections vary from fair to
slow and special efforts are being de-
noted to this end.
At Burlington manufacturing
plants note but little apparent
change in general conditions over
ness has been good considering
weather conditions. Rutland reports
more life to the retail trade. Labor
is well employed and outlook for
holiday trade is good. ST. Adams
merchants report a normal trade;
with colder weather and sleighing
| they state trade would improve.
Manufacturing plants are we'll en-
ployed.
st. Johnsbury reports no change
in condition of either manufacturing
or retail trade.
At Montpelier the machine indus
try is increasing it's working time.
Granite manufacturers are operat-
ing short force. Retail merchants
at Barre speak well of the outlook
for holiday trade. Granite quarry
owners report plenty of business.
BrattlebOro reports labor well en-
ployed and among retail merchants
outlook for holiday trade is said
good. Bellows Falls reports no
change in general condition of either
manufacturing or retail trade. A
! fall of snow would help retail trade.
Bennington reports manufacturing
plants are operating along same
lines of month ago. A fairly good
trade is noted at stores. Morrisville
reports all manufacturing plants
employed to capacity and normal
business received at retail stores. A
good holiday trade is predicted.
