point, and clear away any quantity
Of saplings and brush to get n two
foot lane down which to squeeze n
rifle bullet.
And this in what hunters in this
part Of the country would call un-
usually open woods.
The longest actual distance / might
have aimed a rifle ut a deer before
my Ak work on this range was
scant go yards.
Incidentally, this is another blow
at the superstition that modern high
power rifles range dangerously far
in the woods. Any one Of the Ave
trees in direct line Of fire was big
enough to stop any soft point bull
let, il hit fair, or so mushroom it
as to make its further ranging neg
ligible, il merely grazed.
Long shots are possible, but they
are almost invariably to-hill
shots over the tops Of intervening
trees and not level shots in the
woods-C. l.. Gilman in Minneapo-
lis News.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1914-11-20
Distance Is Deceptive

When a man starts to tell me about
some long shot made on game in the
woods, l most usually ask him If he
paced the distance-or estimated it..
II the latter, I deduct 20 per cent
for conscious exaggeration and d.
vide the remainder by two to arrive
at the true range.
This is not because I am inordi-
nately suspicious, but because I know
little bit about human nature and
also have done considerable distance
judging in the woods.
No man is going to give himself the
worst Of it. When he has estimated
his distance, usually from memory,
hours or even days after the first
excitement Of a successful shot has
passed, he almost invariably adds on
a tbi to make sure he's getting all the
credit that's coming to him. ! know
this to be a act, because do It my
self.
Walking around in the woods I
have often found very profitable
amusement in estimating the range
to some mark ahead Of me and then
counting my steps. The denser the
timber the greater the over estimate.
When one considers the tremendous
detail Of the thick woods, this is cas-
lily understood.
Picking q tamarack swamp as be-
ing level and much more free from
underbrush than the uplands, I start
ed out to clear a 200-yard rifle
range. BY p acing and measurement
knew il to b Q 200 yards, yet, were
to glimpse. a deer down a similar
vista, am sure my snap verdict
would be 400 or 500 yards. And you
can bet I'd give myself the benefit
Of the doubt and call II 500 talking
about il.
How erroneous the usual "long
shot" estimate il bound to be is prov
en- by the fact that I had fell five
trees, each one big enough to COM
pletely obscure a page Of a news
paper when viewed from the. firing

A Regular Sahara

Durham, N. C.-The executive
committee Of the Anti-Saloon League
Of this state is preparing to introduce
a bill into the next legislature which
viii make il a crime for any resi-
dent Of the state to have any sort
Of liquor in his possession or in his
home. II will not be necessary 10
show that the citizen attempted to
give away to his friends or to sell
the liquor. The very fact that he
has il in his possession or in his
home will be sufficient to send him to
the penitentiary. Therefore the new
bill will be the most drastic ever Of
fered for passage. The present pro-
hibition law Of North Carolina is ex-
treme in its provisions, but there is
said to be more logging in the
state than in any other dry state.
II is in the hope Of destroying this
boot Logging and the keeping Of blind
tigers that the Anti Saloon League
will work hard for the passage Of the
new bill.

W9 Weary

The obligation that rests upon de-
cent newspapers to tell the truth Is
ever a sacred and responsible one.
At no time should II be more honored
in observance than during the con-
tinuation Of the tragedy that is being
enacted upon the European CONT
nent. A period like the present stiff.
fens the demand for veracity made
BY a public that takes journalism
seriously.
Right minded people have weared
Of the unending procession Of tales
Of horror, cruelty and destruction.
They are eager, even anxious, to adj
dress themselves to the constructive
policies Of peace. The distorted per-
spective presented them by many
newspapers gives them just offense.
The plain truth is, the reading public
is sick and tired Of the monotony Of
the war diet served up to them.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1914-11-20

Yet how many sensational news
papers disregard their duty to their
readers, and carless Of their obliga-
ton, deliberately invent horrors FOR
the sole purpose Of claiming suprem-
acy in the publication Of exclusive
news.
Never in the history Of the news
paper has there been such demand
for truth; yet never in the history Of
the newspaper has truth been SO
carelessly handled.
No wonder the reading public is
weary Of "war news"

Last winter, in a period Of rash
ness and inconceivable folly, We took
q few dancing lessons. We learned
the tango, the one-step, and the hest
tation, with all the dips, drags, grape
vines aud lame ducks thereunto ap-
pertaining and in such case made
and provided. We thought we had
Terpsichore dashed to the rudder Of
a Zeppelin. As we slided about the
hall o. riccocheted from divan to
davenport, just missing the piano
lamp in our mad flights through some
friendly parlor, we used to feel sorry
for poor Mr.. and Mrs. Castle. We
we're the dancing demon Of the day.
We were. But last night we happened
to drop in on some friends, whose
victrola, az we entered, was tearing
of by the Sea, BY the Beautiful
Sea-" We shall forever hate that
tune, for II is inextricably informing
led with the wreck Of our fondest
conceit. We learned last night that
we cant dance. No more than a rab-
bit, we can't dance. There was a
Young fellow in that parlor who had
brought with him, from the city, a
slew Of new steps and motions and
gestures and poses and by the time
we got there he had taught the young
ladies' such delicatessens as the "half
and half" "the fox trot," "the silo
slip" and "the Ford flop" or some
thing like that. Why, We didn't even
know the holds any more. Every
thing we did was passe or Ainse or
Prsemysl. We were Major-general
