The approaching encampment and
maneuvers Of the National Guard
and U. s. troops will be an event Of
great interest and one Of the main
features Of the affair will be the tar
get practice. Training Uncle Sans
soldiers how to shoot accurately or in
other words, to become good marks
men with the rifle and pistol, is one
of the chief essentials in military
training in the army nowadays.
In the record rifle firing 60 shots
are fired, with two shots extra, in or
der TO get proper distance. elevation
and sight. The firing is divided as
follows: Ten shots at 800 yards,
slow fire; 10 shots at 500 yards, slow
fire; 10 shots at 600 yards, with two
shots extra, to get proper sight and
distance, firing on bag rest; 10 shots
at 200 yards, rapid fire, in one min
ute, kneeling from standing position;
10 shots at 500 yards, rapid fire,
prone, or lying down, in one minute
and 10 seconds; 10 shots at 500
yards, prone, in one minute and 20
seconds, with a change Of positions
except in the last one and loading of
rifles within the time limit given.
FIVE CLASSIFlCATIONS
The classifications Of firing are
five. To obtain qualification Of Sec
ond class 1852 points must be made
out of a possible 800. First class
requires III out Of possible 800.
These are merely qualifications and
soldiers do not receive extra pay. A
marksman receives 50 extra a month.
and must make PIP points out Of
possible 800, which is an average of
81 per cent. The sharpshooter re-
ceives SO per month extra and must
get 23S points out of possible 300.
or an average of IS per cent. An
expert rifleman receives IS per
month extra and must get 253 points
out of possible 300. or an average
Of So per cent.
GOOD SHOOTING AN ASSET
Few people out of the army realize
The necessity of training soldiers to
shoot properly. The increased value /
that they are in war rs well a. the !
-aving of ammunition. are all inn
lortaut factors. and to become either

For instance. although the rifles

10 Tie dsleGatss Of the Republican
6tats Convention, Santa Fe. N. N
Il having come to our notice that
the Honorable Hugh H. Williams has
announced his candidacy for the
nomination Of state corporation COM
missioner, subject to the action Of
the Republican state convention. to
succeed himself at the coming fall
election, We, the undersigned, volun-
tarily, cheerfully, earnestly and most
heartily endorse him for the office
which he seeks, for the following
reasons:
First. When elected, be surrender
ed his position as passenger conduc-
tor on the A. T. 4 s. +. Ry., with the
natural expectation Of serving a term
as commissioner for a reasonable
length of time, but unfortunately
drew the short term Of two years.
Second. In the short term which
he has served, he has made an ex-
cellent record as a state officer, his
dealings with corporations and indi-
viduals having been in all cases char
acterized by fairness and justice.
Third. In view Of his long railroad
experience, he is eminently qualified
and peculiarly fitted for the office
which he now holds and for which he
seeks reelection.
Fourth. II requires at least two
years for man to acquaint and ia
miliarize himself with the important
duties Of state corporation commits
sioner, and that time would be lost
to the citizens Of the state in the
event Of an inexperienced man being
chosen to succeed him.
Fifth. He has been a resident Of
New Mexico since infancy, or some
thirty odd years, and is personally
known to the majority of the citizens
of the. state as a man Of sterling
qualities, without blemish on his
character; and his life as a private
citizen and record as state officer
is an open book.
Sixth. Last, but not least, during
the short term which he has served.
he has proven himself to be loyal
and steadfast friend Of the travelling
public in general and the travelling
man in particular, without regard to
partisanship or politics; and has per-
sonally, and with the cooperation of
his fellow commissioners, brought
about important changes in train
schedules and connections. and Sc
cured other concessions from the
various lines of railways travers-
ing this state, which have been of in.
benefit to the travelling
public, such changes having, We un-
been brought about AMIGA

We, therefore, take pleasure in af-
fixing our signatures hereto, which
we do voluntarily and sheerfully, and
without any solicitation whatever on
the part of our good friend. the Hon
orable Hugh II. Williams. and earn
estly urge that his nomination be
made unanimous.

lower ON account Of not seeing so

light days are not always consider

be considered on a clear day with

FARMING Vs LATIN

The speaker at a. recent grange meeting in another town made the re- mark that four years of farming gives a boy quite as much mental exercise as four years study of Latin.
 No one should speak disrespectfully of Latin. It is impossible to con ceive of a boy who could study it at tentively for four years. and not get practical mental development. His translation exercises would greatly en- large his command of English. He would make good iscriT1inatfons be- tween English words of nearly the same meaning In any literary or professional calling, this would be of great value. He would write and speak English more f1uentIy, his Knowledge of Latin roots would enable him to see deeper into the htings he reads His mind would be broader by knowing the life of ancient peo- pies, and his better knowledge of lit erature would give him life long en- joyment.
 If boy works four years farming and simply does what his father tells him to do, making no observations for himself, he is little better equipped for life than he was before. He may have acquired the regular habit of industrious toil, which has value. But that can be acquired also in studying Latin.
 But if a boy would make his four years farm work a school, an exper- iment station on producing results, it might hays a higher value than the scholastic occupation of Latin. If every time he planted a field of corn, he would examine carefully all the conditions of his work, compare the results of different methods, reach an original conclusion as to the best method. he would be doing original re- search work just as valuable as any thing the college has to teach. Un- fortunately comparatively few peo- pie work in that thorough way.

WHY SILOS FALL DOWN

1t is about time for someone TO start
an investigation to learn why so many
silos are falling down. Anyone who
has occasion to read the various coaA-
try weekly newspapers is astonished
at the number Of wood and concrete
slos that are reported as falling Over.
1t would be found perhaps that the
reason in most cases embraced the old
causes, cheap labor and cheap mater
als. The farmer should know that
he cannot get good work and good
goods unless he pays for them. If
he intends to invest in a si!o let him
get the best that money can buy aid
let it be erected by the most respon-
siblc man in the business, In such a
case the farmer will never be sorry.
The best is the cheapest, in the long
run.

FARMERS TAKE INITIATIVE

The farmers of lngham county,
Michigan are considering the question
Of erecting a canning factory of their
own at Lansing. They have become
convinced that such a plant would
take care Of the market surplus and
also would make it possible to in
crease the acreage in that section of
sweet corn, peas, beans and fruits of
all kinds. The men back of the pro-
jcct have observed that wherever
canning factories have been located
large home market has been devel-
opcd and the necessity Of shipping
avoided or greatly reduced. Such
factories have proven to be bo6ns to
the rural communities where they
have been placed. Without exception
they have given small farmers n
chance ut intensified farming and have
afforded market for what the small
growers had to sell. There are about
200 growers who supply the Lansing
market and they have found out that
gardening is a good business Many
Of these want 20 work on n larger
scale and for that reason are in ia
vor Of n factory to convert the sur
plus into marketable product. The
Experiment will be watched with in

 He is suffering from a nervous af- fiction which causes him to move his head up and down while listening to conversation. His relatives are greatly worried and have reported his disappearance to the sheriff's office which is doing all it can do for his recovery. It is feared that he may have wandered out upon the desert while suffering from temporary men tai derangement a result of the heat

FACTORS OF COST IN
 RAILROAD OPERATION
Discussion of Methods of Various Systems Occupies Time of
 A. C. C.

A discussion of the Santa Fes division Of costs of operation and maintenance between freight and passenger traffic, and between trans state and intra state business, made yesterdays session of the three cent fare case almost a duplication of te first day of the hearing, when the same matters were taken up with the Southern Pacific Accountant William Sangster was on the stand all day for the commission, under di- rect and cross examination.
 The argument of the state was trans-state and local traffic was un fair The charging of int-astate traffic with the maintenance of eX- pensive stations and eating houses, provided almost solely for interstate t.affic, was taken up and discussed.
 The case of the station at Will Jams was introduced as an illustra : ton by the witness for the com mission, and the question of an equ- able division of costs of operation at such stations occupied a large part of the afternoon session. The crOss-examination of Accountant Sangster was finished late in the afternoon.
 James Peabody, of Chicago. chief statistician for the Santa Fe system, will take the stand this morning for direct examination. J. Dunlap, of Chicago F. W. Camp, of Los An geles, and Chalmers & Kent of this city, are the counsels for the com pany.
