IDEAL LOCATION
FOR RIFLE RANGE
Pasture Land With Clubhouse
Selected For Harrisburg
. Rifle Association

The location of the new rifle range
of the Harrisburg Rifle Association on
the Conodoguinet Creek, about fifteen
half mile above the well-known
Oysters Dam, gives promise of per-
mitting the development of an at
tracttve sportsmen's club that will be
In keeping with the future expansion
OF the already popular local organiza-
ton. The site is located along the
creek where bend in the stream
furnishes an elghty-foot bank so
placed by nature that it affords an
unequaled natural background for
stopping bullets. The butts will be
placed at the foot of this bank
The area which will be rented by
of los members, is blue grass pasture
ground, with small house that will
be converted at a moderate cost into
an outdoor clubhouse. An addition
will be built to permit of an enlarged
dining room for the convenience of
the members and Mr.. and Mrs. George
Neuer will have charge of the club
house. The property Is q part of the
Weber and Heck farms. The Associa-
tion has made arrangements so that
tents may be secured for those mem
bers who may care to trough it" for
few days or week, and provision
will be made for the serving of meals
to these campers. There is also suffi-
cient space on the property to permit
of baseball diamond, quot pitching,
and other outdoor sports, and the ex-
cellence of the fishing. swimming and
skating needs no mention.
Sixteen Targets 10 BE Built
Trees will be cleared away in u few
days and the butts will be put in
place during the winter so that the as
ISOLATION may transfer it's range from
Lucknow to the new site next Spring.
Four butts. four targets to each butt,
will be provided, permitting 80 rifle
men on the firing point at one time.
There will be room for 1000, 500, 500,
500, 400, 900 and 200-yard ranges,

rules committee will hold its annual
party after Christmas. OF course|
everybody has their own idea about
football rules, but 1t was generally uni
derstood that they were very satisfacl
tory this year. A few more changea
and the game will become a parlol
sport.
1t is a safe bet that Leo Harris will
coach the Carlisle Indian School elevelI
next season. Those who know this
local authority on football, are max
ing many favorable comments. Coach
Harris is young man but he is q vet1
eran in football knowledge. One oi
his best recommendations is that hd
is a close follower of Glenn WarnerI
one of the greatest football coaches
this country has ever seen.
Somewhere. in the West an an
nouncement was made several days
ago that Jim Thorpe would not re-
tire from either baseball or football
Any person who is we'll acquainted
with this all-around athlete never had
any other opinion. Thorpe may have
an income sufficient to keep him
happy the rest of his life, but he Is
going to stay in sport as long as he
desires He will always be a big at
traction. During the football season
this worlds champion athlete led the

warm welcome. He is scheduled to
play with the Harrisburg Independ-
ents. He is expected to be O fixture
with the local five. Manager Ike Nc
Cord will keep him at work If there

In the selection of managers for n
major league team, jolly Bill Clymer
has to date been overlooked. He is
champion winner. Last season
Clymer won the championship of the
American Association as manager of
the Louisville Club. He has been
sought after by the big fellows and

Baseball manufacturers deny the

KIRK TO LEAD sUsQUEHANNA

Selinsgrove, Pa, Dec. 16. - George
Kirk has been elected captain of the
Susquehanna University football team
for the 1917 season. Kirk played q
strong game at left halfback the last
season and proved himself to be one
of the most valuable men on Coach
Vineyards eleven. Basketball pros
poets for the coming season look ex-
ceptionally promising, and thirty men
have responded to Coach Wingard S
first call for candidates. Swoope will
be last to this years qintet, and
probably Harkins and Middlesworth,
but there is a wealth of clever raw
material, and, with several of the vet
erans for a nucleus, a fast team
should result.

ROAD TO HEALTH is
THROUGH THE KIDNEYS

No person alive is stronger than his
kidneys The minute the kidneys be-
come disarranged or clogged with
waste the warning is flashed through
out the entire system. The greater
part of all sickness to-day can be avoid
ed by keeping the kidneys working
properly.
W. w. Albers the popular druggist,
can tell you of many we'll known
people in this city whom Solvax, the
standard kidney remedy, has restored
to health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment
with little or no benefit.
This remarkable kidney remedy is
guaranteed to help the worst case of
lazy, sluggish, or clogged-up kidneys,
or the general headachy, kinky
played out condition that afflicts
people suffering with kidney trouble
Solvax does not simply relieve, 1t
aims to cure.
No other kidney remedy has made
such large percentage of cures as
Solvax. 1t is so large that w. w.
Albers is perfectly safe in standing
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom it does not help. adv.

posed to unite and solidify the pro-
gressive element in the republican
party; but instead the breach was
widened and the fight between the
McGovern and La Toilette factions
is to be more bitter than ever. La
Toilette declared himself to be can
didate for the presidency and placed
himself on record for an embargo
on arms and munitions of war. a
few weeks ago the Conservative
element of the republican party
held a meeting at Madison and
it was openly declared before the
convention, that a resolution would
be passed favoring the subject on
arms and ammunition but this resO-

was the reason of this sudden change
