Leads Texas Cities in Pro
duction; Second i'll
Mohair.

San Angelo, Tex, Feb. 27.-What the
sheep industry means for the Concho
country is only partially shown in sta
tistics on the subject of wool pro-
duction which have been compiled.
During the past few days Thomas
r. Owen, secretary of the chamber of
commerce, has been making an effort
to compile data on the wool and mo-
hair situation for the past year and the
following are the results:
In 1913 Texas produced s,775.OOO
pounds of wool; and in 1914 produced
8,643, 900 pounds of wool
In 1918 Texas produced $4,000
pounds of mohair; and in 1914 pro-
duced 100000 pounds.
The following are San Angelo fig
ures for the year 1914: We marketed
about 5,OOO,444 pounds Of wool, and
third in wool and third in mohair
For the state of Texas, San Angelo
ranks first in wool. and second in mo-
hair. Kerrville ranks second in wool
and first in mohair; Del Rio ranks
third inird in wool and third in mo-
hair.
1T is quite noticeable" said Mr.
Owen, that the san Angelo country is
increasing annually in the production
of wool and mohair. During the past
few years the cattlemen have come to
realize the fact that they can run a
flock or two Of sheep on their ranches
without causing any material harm to
the pastures for grazing, as it Is found
that sheep eat weeds and grasses that
cattle and horses do not touch, hence,
the cattleman finds that he can carry
a few sheep in connection with other
stock, which produces a revenue not
realized heretofore, and which is really
velvet
This is one cause for the increase

National Rifle Association
Will Participate Oct. Al in
National Defence Conference

Washington, Aug. 1S-Announcement
today that the National Rife Association
Of America will participate in the Con-
ference on National Defense, which is TO
be held in Washington october ~. imme-
diately following the Grand Army Of the
Republic encampment, will be OF great
interest to the veterans who Will attend
the encampment and the conference.
In the Onion armies of the civil war
were hundreds of thousands Of good
shots and thousands of expert marksmen
and sharpshooters. Many Of these dead
shots will attend the Washington en-
campment and will pay particular atten-
ton to that section of the National De-
Tense Conference which will consider the
training of the citizenry of this country
in the use of the military rifle.
Col John McElroy, past senior vice
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, says that training in the
use of the rife is one of the most i'm
portant subjects to be considered at the
conference.
Good rif1emen among the citizens are
the best nucleus for our volunteer
armies" declared Colonel McElroy today.
The National Rife Association Of Am
erica claims to be the Oldest and most
practical peace society in this country.
1t was organized in 1871 for the purpose
of teaching the citizens of the country
how to efficiently handle the army rife,
thus making its citizens capable of be-
coming efficient volunteers to defend their
country in time Of need. officers of the
Association claim that if we had in this
country a million citizens trained in the
use of the service arm that il would be
a more potent factor in the maintenance
of peace than the oratons of a million
peace-at-any price men, This National
Association receives no federal support
and its work has been maintained by the
donations of periodically inclined citi-
Gems through the taking out of life mem
herships. Among such men may be men
toned ex-Presdents Taft and Roosevelt
ex-senator Root, former Secretary of
State Robert Bacon, former Secretary Of
The Navy Meyer. former Secretaries of
War Dickinson and Wright, Senators
Wetnore and Warren and such proni-
nent business leaders as Judge Gary.

GAME WARDEN'S LIFE NOT

with his brother an automobile business
is conducted. Perry has a camp IN Car
rabassett, not far from the residence Of
George Woodcock. The officer was TAX
ing Perry to kingfeld for arrangement
ed to stop at the Perry camp. pick up
some things he needed and leave the
camp properly locked. When the camp
was reached the Warden was invited in
side and Perry was apparently pleased
to show his place. Some sporting pic
lures on the wall were noI1ced and Perry
remarked that he had had considerable
experience at boxing and wrestling. He
stands two or three inches over six feet
in height and is a muscular man.
The Warden says that Perrys good
natured talk had put him entirely off
his guard and he was much surprised
Perry suddenly made upon him The
Warden was thrown to the floor of the
cabin and the stronger man had little
difficulty in getting the officers revolver.
Perry then, SO the Warden says, let him
to his feet and demanded back the Luger
The officer denurred, but Perry was in
sstent. Finally the officer slipped the
magazine from the automatic and hand
ed the empty weapon back to the other
man.
A second nix-up was starting over the
possession of the pistols magazine
when George Woodcook happened along
and the strife ended. Perry after con-
siderable talk consented to accompany
the officer to Kingfeld where he was ar
raigned. found guilty Of fishing a closed
stream and paid a fine of S. and costs.
He then returned to his camp. Later the
facts OF the alleged assault became
known to the County officials and an in
vestigation was conducted by Sheriff w.
B. Small. Deputy Rosalvin Robbins and
County Attorney Thomas D. Austin. AS
a result Perry was brought here and ar
raigned before Judge Currier c. Holman.
charged with assault. In the local Mu-
nicipal Court, Perry pleaded not guilty
but probable cause was found and he
furnished $500 bonds for his appearance
at the September term of the Supreme
judicial Court.

Westinghouse and hundreds Of others.
Ex-senator Root says of the work of
the n. r. A.
The purposes Of the National Rife
Association of America are of the great
est Importance and the methods by
which it proposes to attain them are
simple. direct and suited to American
life and character"
The Association is carrying on a cam
paign for one thousand life members, the
income. from the fund to be used for the
promotion of rife shooting as a recog-
nized sport in the schools and colleges
of the country.
A great impetus was given to rifle
training among citizens by the passage
Of an act by Congress last year authoriz-
ing the free distribution of krag rifles
and ammunition to rife clubs and the
work orga nizing the clubs and carrying
on the training was put in the hands Of
the National Rifle Association by the
Secretary of War. Since that time over
them has been issued sO6 Krag rifles and
$50, $50 rounds of ammunition.
The National Rife Association has
asked the VAR department TO approve a
measure for the adoption of a national
policy of range construction, claiming
that the proposition to train civilians of
the country can never amount to any
thing from a national standpoint until
ranges are provided where the citizens
can shoot. There has been great de-
mand by writers on military subjects and
the press in general for the adoption by
this country of modified Swiss system,
but most of these writers overlook the
fact that the sine qui non of that sys-
tenn is rifle training. the important fea-
ture of soldiers duties which are
greatly neglected in this country. Provis-
ion also must be made to furnish gov
eminent rife clubs with ammunition and
target supplies as well as ranges, and
army officers should be detailed as IN
structors and supervisors for these clubs.
At the present time there are enrolled
as members of the National Rife Associ-
alton shooting under its rules and regu-
lations, and making annual reports Of
their work. 800 government rife clubs.
10 school and 81 college clubs, all train
ing with the military rife.

There are many people who look upon
the life Of Maine game warden as one
of unalloyed pleasure in the open. con-
sisting in the most part of pleasant trips
to the various sporting resorts and the
morotony Of this round of pleasure being
broken by frequent fishing expeditions to
those waters where the big ones abound.
Such people forget the nights passed IN
the big woods without shelter and per-
hans made more inhospitaDle by cold
rain. They also fail to remember the
long tramps through the forests and
swamps in search of lswbreakers. duty
often leading them far from the beaten
trails and deep into the heart OF the DIG

Commissioners to patrol that section and
head off any ambitious anglers who
sought to anticipate the beginning Of
