Hunters Common Sense.

Thursday, October 18th is the
opening day for hunting in Penn
sylvania, and the NEWS takes
this opportunity to send its annu-
al warning to hunters to avoid
accidents. The woods will be
full of men and boys on some
days, and unless common sense
rules, some of them will, as usual
be shot. First let us remind
them that there is a law in this
state against pointing empty guns
and pistols at tpeople. The didn't
know-it- loaded" fool is re-
sponsible for many deaths. If
any one points an empty gun at
you, prosecute him to the full ex-
tent of the law-it will be mer-
cy to do so for it will save that
fool from killing some one some
time in the future if he can be
broken of the habit. Second, if
there is a man in the community
who shoots at every thing that
moves or looks like game before
he knows what he is shooting at,
"boycot" that man and refuse to
hunt or associate with him when
he has a gun in his hands; he is
as much a fool as number one
and would fill your head full of
shot the first time he caught a
glimpse of your cap through the
bushes. Combine and run that
man out of the county until af-
ter the season closes, or borrow
his guns and forget" to return
them until the time is past that
he can do any harm-anything
to save yourself and friends from
his foolishness. Parents, show
your boy how so many are killed
by pulling a gun toward them
selves by the barrel. Illustrate
in a safe way how the hammer is
caught on briar, fence rail bush |
&c., and the hammer raised just |
a little and let fall on the cart
ridge. Teach them that the load |
from a gun travels in the direc-
tion the gun is pointed at time of
discharge, and if they take care
to avoid holding the gun in posi- |
tion pointing towards people they |
will not kill themselves or friends
by accidental firing of the gun.
Do not let US have any accidents
to report from Fulton county this
fall. Hunt, fish, and have good
time if you like that sport. 1t is
about all the sport the county can
afford. Obey the laws and take
common sense with you-if you
lack the latter, leave your guns
in the closet when you go hunt
ing.

GREAT CONVENTION.
W. c. Patterson Represented Fulton
County at Convention and Gives
Outline Of Wonderful Work.


Mr.. Patterson's letter will be
read with pleasure by all inter-
ested in the advancement of Sab
bath School work in the State and
County. Modern Sabbath Schools
are the foundation of religious
training for the great majority of
our young people-old fashioned
home-training seems to be neg
lected. The letter follows:
The State Sabbath School Con-
vention that met at Erie, Pa. on
October 5, 6, 7, and 8 was in
many respects the most remark
able in the history of that asso-
citation that has helped to place
Pennsylvania in the front rank
of Sabbath School work. Includ-
ing the 300 boys and girls ofici-
ally present, there was total of
1474 duly accredited delegates
present every county in the
State being represented. About
two-thirds of the delegates were
men in all walks of life, appa-
rently, except that of wickedness.
The Convention Hall was the
beautiful and commodious Cen
tral Presbyterian Church although
several meetings were sometimes
in session at the same time in va
rious parts of the city. The Y.
M. c. A. building was used as Of
fetal headquarters during the
week. The business part of the
program was under the direction
of H. j. Heinz of ("57 Variety
fame and Field Secretary Lam
des who kept things on the go
from beginning to end without
a hitch. The needs of every
county were looked after. The
motto Of the convention was
Meet for the Masters Use Pre-
pared unto Every Good Work, "
and it seemed to be the inspira-
ton that kept the interest grow
ing until it eliminated on Thurs
day when pledges for the work
of the coming year were made.
These amounted, with the loose
collection, to $26,000.00. Much
that was given was in thankful
ness for blessings received or in
memory of loved ones called
home. John Wanamaker, honor
ary president, telegraphed his
pledge of $4,000. Other contri-
buttons ran as high as 81, 900 and
as low as rs cents. Much inspira-
ton was gained by the singing
conducted by Messrs. Hall and
Mack = thousands of people sing
ing in time and harmony are a
mighty force in appealing to the
emotions, as it was found. The
needs Of the Sabbath School work
ers were ably met by addresses
from such men as DR.. Zwemer,
w. C. Pierce, DR.. Pentecost and
others. Missionary enthusiasm
ran high as did that of temperance
it being one of relentless war
fare. AS means of increasing
the efficiency of the Sabbath
Schools, personal work and Teach
ers' Training Classes were par
ticularly emphasized.
A delightful feature of Thurs
day evening was an automobile
ride of twenty miles. 600 cars
were in line and the finely paved
streets are ideal auto roads. The
Convention adjourned on Friday
evening to meet in the city of
York the second week Of October
1916. This place being with
in easy access should en-
able many of our people to at
tend the sessions one year hence.
In the mean time, it is strongly
urged that Fulton county should
be brought up to the advanced
line work.

1891 enlisted men, This is shortage of sol
diers of 1920 agreeably to the force authorized
by law, and this is intimation of the extreme
ly heavy work that the men would have to face
in of hostilities, because minus
vitality necessary reserve.
The average layman has but the slightest
knowledge of the extremely technical character
of the Coast Artillery corps, and to be proficient
these soldiers receive a manysided education.
Theirs is the task of getting the advantage of the
enemy before the foe can locate the position OF
our guns and mortars and the whole system of
defense is the exact opposite Of the way in
which hostile squadron would approach its ag-
gressive task
From the very beginning OF the planning OF our
existing seaboard batteries the idea of conceal
ment was the first concern The mortars were
designed to be hidden away in pts-each of
them holding four of these weapons The heavy
rifles not to be in plain sight. with their
threatening muzZles peering the crests OF
parapets. Instead, the disappearing carriage
invented for mount. These gave the rifles the
power TO crouch while loading awaiting
fee, and then. when the moment for action
rived, to spring up Suddenly from behind their
embrasures. to fire directly at the foe. and by
the force of their recoil TO sink from view
and into position for reloading.
How is 1t possible for weap pons of this sort TO
be aimed at their targets? Il is commonly known
that in naval service the guns held upon
mechansms that swing and elevate the rifles
so that the cross hairs OF the telescope sights
can be kept right a moving target even though
the sea be rough and the vessel roll. The gun
pointers undisturbed by this motion, and at
10000 Yards and more able TO do some won
derful shooting. But the gun pointers and train

the big rifles do not themselves. see the enemy.
Yet despite this seeming handicap still they are
able TO do some extraordinarily effective work
The army gun pointers near New York, with
1O-inch disappearing rifles. have been able TO FIRE
four shots in total elapsed time OF less than
one minute. and these we're concentrated upon a
target foIr miles away being towed at the rate
OF something FIVE miles an hour. All four
shots struck tho target and actually passed
through a rectangle q feet high by SO feet long.
At $500 yards the same caber guns at Fortress
Monroe scored six hits out OF six shots at a
ing target. The total elapsed time OF the firing
slightly over two minutes. the batteries scor-
ing Ia hits per gun per minute.
The science OF surveying has made these
achievements possible even though. has been
said. the guns and mortars must be trained and
elevated by who cannot see their targets.
