family with great difficulty made their
way to London. from where they took
steamer for New York, on August 29.
Dogs were not welcome as passengers
on either trains or boats at the time,
and II was only after much diplomatic
dickering that Zou zou's new owner
was successful IN landing her pet
safely in America.
When You Zou made his first sp-
pearance at Bustanoby's dog show, n
week ago Friday. it was his debut in
the show ring. and although he won
the blue ribbon in the class, he was
somewhat lacking in true show ring
"You see" said Zou Zou's attrsc-

understand anything but French. and
did not know what to do when the
Judge spoke TO him. must educate
him so he will understand when ne is
spoken 20 IN English"
"Leve tot! commanded Miss Lean.
and Zou Zou complied with grace and
cese. but only looked mystifed when
the order was given 20 "Sit up"
Jules Ferond. the noted French Judge
of GrifTons, was greatly impressed by
Zou Zou's appearance. and other fan
ciers have predicted brilliant future
in the show ring for Miss Leans i'm

Four Hundred Captured
Bronze Medals for Their
Good Workmanship.
COMMERCE PROTESTS
BASKETBALL GAME
Race Run by Eddie Feuerstein,
in Brooklyn College Games
Attracts Attention.

There is no more importan' sport
fostered by the Public Schools Athletic
League in the high schools than rife
shooting. More than five thousand
schoolboys practised last year on the
nineteen sub-target machines which
are now installed in the various
schools. These machines are each
eouipped with Springfield or other
standard army rifle, and the boys using
them receive the same training as II
they were out or the ranges.
Some four hundred boys won the
bronze medals for craftsmanship last
yeaY, while 1870 qualified as sharpshoot-
cfs. Morris High. OF The Bronx made
the best showing, getting lib marks
men and forty-siY experts. Nor IS Il
cast 70 win these medals. Only those
BOYS who make 40 out Of A possible 90
POINTS may qualify az marksmen,
while those who make perfect score.
o. 30. receive the silver media! OF
sharpshooter.
The commanding officers of the yari-
Gus regiments of the National Guard
of The State OF New York were glad 20
aid the schoolboys IN their work, and
20 the lads had the opportunity 20 fire
real cartridges and accustom them
selves to the kick" Of the gun.
The sport has become more and
more popular with each succeeding
year. but with limited accommodation
It's development has been seriously re-
tsrded. This condition will be relieved
in the immediate future, for :. K.
Guggenheirn. treasurer Of the Public
Schools Athletic League. has donated
ten new Springfield rifles, with the
"armv practice rod" attachment, 10 be
installed in the several schools which
are in greatest need OF them. The
guns will be ready in about two weeks.
Eyander Childs High School snd Far
Rockaway High School will be the first
to receive them.
The Army practice rod attachment 20
these rifles is thrown out OF the barrel
about eight or nine inches by the blow
of the firing pin, and indents the card
target Just as lead ball would reg
ister on any kind OF a target. This ia
70 all intents and purposes the same
as the sub-target machine. II is not so
valuable, perhaps, for instruction as
the gun machine. but IL enables the
lads to get in much valuable practice.
Furthermore. they are much less eX-
pensive. The boys we're able 10 use
the state ranges at Peekskill last year,
and i, is probable that the same court
esy will be extended 70 them this
season.
The race that Eddie Feuerstein ran
in the games OF Brooklyn College last
week is still the talk OF scholastic
circles. I'D was clocked in close TO 50
seconds.

SEND IN YOUR FARM NEWS
TO THE PAPERS

That was good article in our
last issue reprinted from the Water
loo Press and Banner, Farmers
Should Cooperate With Their Coun-
ty Papers" AS was then said, every
important farm success or other item
of farm news in neighborhood
should be reported to the county pa
per. The editor will be glad to get
the item, and reports of progress on
the part of one individual or onn
section will inspire other individuals
and other sections. We believe that
farmers clubs, local and county
Unions, clubs of United Farm Wom-
en-, ETC., should also be more alert
in sending reports to country papers.

The Progressive Farmer.
The Progressive Farmer has cor
rectly stated the case. Farming is
the basis of all real wealth, and any
town or city that has not a produc-
tive farming country surrounding it,
has but little basis for lasting and
extensive growth. Therefore we
would be especially pleased to hear
more frequently from our farming
population, as to crop prospects,
crops planted, methods of planting
and tillage, crops harvested, prices
received, etc. Remember, that while
these things seem of little import
ance to many who are constantly en-
gagged in flaming operations. it is
just such information that the pro-
spective investor and home seeker
find of especial interest, and it
greatly helps in disseminating a
knowledge of the natural resources
and possibilities of this great and
growing section. Let us hear more
from the farmers and fruit growers.

FERTILIZE THE GROVES

1t was not the fault of the Florida
citrus fruits that the groves were not
paying investments during the past
season. With business throughout
the world disorganized and depress-
ed and thehigh cost of living more
acutely felt, it is not strange that
the general retrenchment included
the cutting off of all Injuries, and in
the view Of most persons an orange
or grapefruit is simply luxury.
When every line of business was
feeling the paralyzing effects of the
prevailing distrust of the future, it
might be expected that the citrus in
dustry would suffer with the rest.
But these conditions are essen
TALLY temporary. In fact, there are
abundant signs of a revival of bust.
ness. The demand for Florida's cit
rus products will soon revive. The
popular taste for them still survives.
With prosperity will shortly come
revival of demand.
The groves will keep on doing all
that can be expected of them. They
will improve with each year if given
the care they deserve. They will be
ready to do their part when market
ing conditions improve. If they are
neglected, it may take several years
to get them back into condition. 1t
is worth the while to spend some
money this year on fertilizer. even IL
the returns next season should be as
poor as they were in the one that
has just closed, which we doubt.
The difficulty of getting enough
potash to answer all demands, we
understand, is causing some grove
owners to decline to fertilize at all.
But even If they must be fed less
potash than usual, or none at all,
the trees should be given their full
amounts of ammonia and phosphoric
acid. Most of the groves are too
acid as to the soil. Limestone in
suitable quantities would benefit
them. VT there were potash in the
soil in unavailable form, limestone
would liberate it.
Through rates to many points not
before covered have been secured for
Florida fruits and vegetables
through the efforts of the Florida
Growers and Shippers League, as
told in our agricultural page today
This should greatly extend the mar
ket for citrus fruits and the benefit
should be apparent the next season
This will counterbalance any slack
demand in the leading markets, in g
great measure. Then, when pros
perity returns, the marketing ares
being much extented, there may b,
no more years of poor returns fol-
labor and care expended on tn,
groves. -Times- Union.
