 Great attention is given to target york with the rifles. By the end of the first week the men are ready for patrol and scout work and marching. This gradually develops as the men become experienced and hardened, for the officers realize that business and professional men have been living sed- entary lives and must be given time to get in shape.
 Battalion problems develop in which team play is of first importance-re- sistance to an attack on the flank of road column, delaying actions, prepar- ing and holding defensive position and lastly the covering of a retreat. In this work the men get @ real taste of trench digging and range work

evening was greatly appreciated by
the fair sized crowd which turned

E. E. Bagley, formerly of this city,
who has been studying for the last
two years at Pacific University under
the instruction of Madame Pauline
Chapman, following two years study
under Prof. ]. S. MacMurray of Ash

practice. Miss Alice Vandersluis of
Talent, the violinist who assisted
Miss Bagley, is player of unusually
artistic ability. The program was
made complete by the playing of Mrs.
Annice Enders and Miss Anna Harris.
Their piano accompaniments made
perfect backgrounds for each number,
which is the highest compliment one
can pay to an accompanist.

Must Hzre License.

The rabbit season has opened
From now until and including
New Years day it will be lawful to
hunt and kill the cotton toll. Chief
Game Warden John C. Sparks called
attention to the rabbit laws require
ments. If you hunt on your own land
you don't need q license, but you do to
hunt elsewhere. Don't enter any prem
ises unless you have the owners per-
mission Be sure and get a license
and carry 1t with you. Show 1t to any
one authorized to inspect licenses.
Don't shoot while near houses, barns
or other buildings. Look out for the
man husking corn or otherwise en-
ployed in the fields; he may have =
family dependent upon him. Don't cut
or injure wire fences or other prop
erty. Don't be guilty Of unsportsman-
like conduct. Remember you are
greatly favored when permitted to
hunt on land other than your own.
Remember your license merely au-
thorizes you to hunt if complying with
every law relating to the subject It
does not permit you to enter any
premises without the owners consent.
The absence of mo hunting signs
does not change the situation. Re
member all the Safety First slogans
and recommendation.
