THEY WANT NO WAR WITH US
THINGS YOU MIGHT WISH
TO KNOW ABOUT JAPAN.

Japan doesn't want war with the
United States. She cannot afford
it-financially, commercially or
socially.
Japan is a proud nation
anxious to follow in the wake of
western civilization. Her ideal is
the United States.
Japan has a talking machine
craze. They use American ma
chimes and American English
ways in demand.
Japan also is motor wild. Ameri-
can automobiles prevail. And the
Fords-you can see them every
where.
Moving picture shows are most
popular. American films are al
ways i n demand.
Next to their own, the United
States flag is purchased most gen
orally in Japan. American en-
blems are used as decorations.
The Japs prefer to even t heir
own makes, the American made
Ivory soap. 1t is national
cleanser.
The Japanese street cars, best
service in the world, are operated
by the government. Rides, Y
cents each.
Japan is initiating the American
skyscraper. A seven-story build
ing, national wonder, is being
Japan imports hundreds of ne
cessities from the United States.
She exports no necessities to this
country.
The better class of Japanese
wear the American style of cloth
ing, but the women wear 10 hats
in Japan.
Baseball is now the national
sport in Japan. The American
books of rules are purchased and
translated.
The roads in Japan, hundreds of
years old, are always like city
pavements, made from lava for
nations.
A Japan citizens idea of edUca-
ton, opportunity and extreme
happiness is life in the United
States.

fully and completely to wipe out the
abominable saloon traffic.
The state which for thirty-five
years has not had a legalized saloon
or brewery, and now has eighty-eight
city and county jails that are empty
forty-seven poor farms and aims
houses that are unoccupied, twenty
eight counties in which the criminal
courts have not had prosecution in
more than a year.
The state which was first to declare
unanimously through its legislature,
its state officials and its entire delega-
ton in congress for nationwide prof1i-
bition (and national prohibition is
coming in less than ten years, Just as
s-re as the sun Shines).
The state which has the lowest
death rate in the United States only
seven to the 1000, a percentage con-
we have more motor cars in proper
ton to population than any state
The state which has the largest per
capita of wealth-almost $4,000 for
every man, woman and child within
it's borders.
The state which holds the worlds
record as a producer of wheat-a
single crop of 100000 bushels
exceeding in value twice over all the
gold and silver mined in the United
States and Alaska in an entire year,
and enough to feed every family in
the United States for at least twelve
months.

The finest, cleanest, soberest, hap
in this Union.
This is the exhibit of Kansas 1
should like to make to the people of
the world in your beautiful exposition,
and L freely confess I am proud to be
the chief executive of such a state;
native KanSan to become it's COVER
nor; the first to be chosen by the
votes of Kansas women. 1t is an
honor of which any man may be
proud.
We are told by the kings of finance
in Wall street that Kansas is today
the most prosperous state in the
Union. This is true. We have 205
millions of surplus wealth piled in our
banks and savings institutions But
better and nobler than all this ma
terial success is the high standard of
citizenship, the fine spirit of justice
and fairness that animates the soul
of every true Kansan with little
more fervor, L am sometimes tempt
ed to think, than the citizen of any
other state.
Let us earnestly resolve as citizens
of this great republic that every day
we live we shall endeaVor with all the
earneStneSS we possess to make our
home community and our home state
greater, cleaner, happier, better, that
we in our time may have happiness
and prosperity, as we'll as merit the
honor and esteem of generations here
and yet to come, and crown our lives
with the wondrous satisfaction that
comes of doing Gods work well.

While In summer baseball, trips 10 the

Something in the nature Of club
house or a pavilion is desirable. The
most successful club is generally that
which, while steadily prosecuting its
primary objects, does not enirely ignore
the social aspect. For this reason it
is impossible to emphasize too strongly
the desirability of comfortable, at
tractiye pavilion in conjunction with a
comfortable, pleasant and easily &C
cessible range.
In addition to butts and clubhouse
the club should provide few club ri

Points on Handicappine.

amount of effort on the part of some
men will enable them to equal the
performance of others in all kinds of
sports. This is the case in rifle shoot.
ing, although steady, careful practice
will work wonders with many of those
who at first think they can never
become good shots. Consequently
to make it possible for these to COM
pete with any hope of success it is
necessary to establish equality artif.
cially This may be accomplished by
a process known as handicapping.
With the decimal system of scoring
with ten points as the highest value
of hit. good method of allottinp
handicaps is to regard the members
ability as expressed by the average
value per hit of his shots and allot
him the difference between this aver
age and Ten as handicap per shot, null
dplying this handicap by the number
of shots In the competition. For ex-
ample, If A in Il few targets scores
2S2 points in thirty shots, the average
value per shot is "a This is AS fig
ure of ability, and his handicap will
be O6 per shot, or six points In a ten
shot competition and eighteen in thir-
ty shot competition An absolute novice
should average between six and seven
per shot but usually improves very
rapidly, and It is not safe to. award
him more than LIS per shot, or fifteen
points In ten shots, to start with.
Varieties of Shooting Contests.

sources of income will suggest them
selves to an energetic management.
If the proposed system of financing
is adopted an annual subscription OF
$3.50, collected by half yearly or quar-
terly installments, should suffice.
A small bore rifle of good design and
construction is as effective as any for
target shooting up to 100 yards. In
designing Il range, therefore, you are
not necessarily limited to seventy-fiye
feet. In fact ranges which admit of
shooting at several longer distances,
such as 90 and 100 yards. afford more
variety and are on many grounds
preferable. While, however. seventy
five foot ranges can often be built in
some existing building at relatively
little cost, longer distances mean out
door shooting and specially constructed
ranges for making such shooting pos
sible at all seasons. For this reason,
though clubs. are strongly advised to
make such arrangements at the begin
ming that they can eventually provide
sufficient target accommodation for a
large membership and expand their
range to 100 yards, many will prefer
to start with an indoor range of seven
ty-five feet or less, for, be it observed,
very good practice can be had on e
range as short as forty feet. Seventy
five feet is generally recognized as the
standard distance for indoor ranges.
The Outdoor Range.
Though in a sparsely populated coun-
try II is often simple matter to i'm
provise an outdoor rifle range suitable
for % ammunition. improvised ranges
almost invariably lack that comfort
and convenience SO essential to the
permanent prosperity of a rife club
and, of course, can only be used for a
few months In the year The fact is
that while the present clubs consist
mainly of enthusiasts prepared to sub
nit to almost any Inconvenience in
he pursuit Of their hobby. the gener

atty of mankind neither possesses ex-
ceptional enthusiasm for anything nor
can be induced for very long to toler-
ate even a moderate amount Of dis
comfort and Inconvenience Yet 1t is
mainly upon its success In attracting
these that the future development Of
the rife club movement depends.
Consequently the first consideration
is the choice of a range site upon which
shooting can be conducted with due
regard to the safety of the public and
which is conveniently accessible and
served If possible by train or trolley
car The ground should be inexpen-
sive, with pleasant surroundings, and,
II possible, should have such natural
features as would dispense with the
erection of large, costly butts and firing
points.
To give variety to the shooting the
site should be wide enough to admit of
firing at three butts-25 yards, 80 yards
and 100 yards distant-simultane
Each butt must be large enough to ac-
commodate an ample number Of tar
gets. Members do not like waiting,
and, as the earning capacity of the
range upon which the income of the
club is largely dependent is exactly
proportional to the number of targets
multiplied by the number of hours in
which they are available for use, target
accommodation sufficient for at least
10 per cent Of the club to shoot at one
time will never be found too much nor
add materially to the cost Of the range.

Hats Of to the Ladies.

Your club should be conducted fer
all classes and give everybody ample
scope, according to his skill The wom-
en- and girls can give tone to the club
by their presence, even though they
are on the range but one night a week.
They are splendid organizers, too. and
the club that has their cooperation, and
interest is fortunate
Women and girls now participate
In bowling everywhere, and rife shoot.
Ing calls for far less physical exer.
ton and undoubtedly gives great
er scope for skill based on good
nerves and good thinking. Women's
work In sewing and similar feminine
occupations makes theireyes truer than
those Of most men. With a little prac-
tee they learn to shoot very well. In
the New York high schools many or
the girls qualify as "marksmen." Make
