SHOOTING MADE MORE COSTLY
Taxpayers as Well as Sportsmen Will
Have to Pay More for Their
Cartridges.

The cost of killing soldier in
battle is going to be appreciably in
creased by the rise in the market
price of lead.
The cartridge manufacturers who
fulfill the British war office con-
tracts are at present supplying
large orders placed some months ago
at old prices, but, the London Daily
Mirror is informed, new contracts
will be revised in connection with
the price of lead, which has largely
increased during the last six months.
'Not only the lead, but the nick
ell casing to put it in, and the brass
for the cartridge case have also In
creased in price. In fact, nearly all
the base metals have gone up during
the year," said the London manager
Of a well-known manufacturing
house.
'The rise in lead has also in
creased the price of sporting cart
ridges from 5 to 71a. per cent, SO
that shooting partridges and pbecsss-;
ants will cost you more. The cheap
est cartridges are now 8s per 100
and the best cost 16s."

CHILDREN AND WILD FLOWERS.

"More and more should children
be taught and encouraged to pursue
the study of wild flowers in their
natural haunts. It affords con-
slant source of pleasure and recre-
alton. It brings the child in direct
contact with the wonders and beau
ties of nature and outdoor life. It
cultivates loving dispositions and
tender sympathies. 1t affords de-
lightful means of enjoying pure air
and good exercise and results in rud-
dy cheeks, healthy appetites and
happier homes, privileges that every
child should enjoy."-F. W. Stack
