Salem Rifle Club To
Have Official Shoot

The Salem Rifle Club is one of the
pairing for the initial official shoot,
which takes place on the State Rifle
Range near FINER station on the Ore
gon Electric railroad next Sunday, and
which will probably continue all day.
Many of the members have signified
their intention of taking their families
and enjoy a sort of picnic.
During the past few days the field
telephone system has been put in the
best of condition by am expert, the
rifle pits and target frames have re-
ceived the necessary repairs, and
everything is in readiness for the first
official shoot.
Twenty rifles issued free by the u.
S. army ordinance department. and
10000 cartridges to be fired for Of
fetal record have been received, and
there will be sufficient quantity at
the range for all members who desire
to participate.
One of the recruiting sergeants for
the U. S. army will be on hand to in
struct novices in the mechanism and
use of the rifle. and also to act as
range officer.
The club membership now numbers
1873, and the majority of them look
forward to the shooting which will be
carried ON at intervals until al the
records have been made. There will
be absolutely no expense for ammuni-
ton, as the cartridges are furnished
free by Uncle Sam.
1t is desired that all who intend
taking part in the Sunday shoot will
so inform Secretary George Snyder, so
that there shall be no shortage of ear
tridges. 1t is also desired that the
members having automobiles will ar

do not know who the members are. in
quire of the secretary or Officer
Nicholson. There will be plenty of
guns at the range.
For the benefit of those who will go

lows:

DOROTHY GREEN IN

The Devil at His Elbow" streng
and gripping five part Metro wonder
play, in which Clifford Bruce and Dor
othy Green are starred, is the next big
feature attraction at the Oregon thea
tire on Sunday and Monday. In this
feaure, which was produced by the

who has contract with the govern
ment to complete plans for a new type

dulges in heavy drink, in order to get
out his plans on time. Miss Green
plays the part of a girl of the street.
How both are instrumental in reclaim

in the finale, makes one of the most
dramatic stories of its kind ever shown
on the screen. There is strong sup

M'M|NNV|LLE WILL
PLAY HERE TOMORROW
Cole May Pitch for Locals
and a Hot Game Is
Anticipated

Bingo! That IS about the size of it
usually when Salem meets McMinnville
at baseball, and lovers of the national
game here are anticipating good sport
at the east State grounds Sunday.
McMinnville in days gone by has es-
tablished reputation for making ev-
cry. effort in its power to win every
game it gets into, and reports at hand
at this time indicate tnat it has not
changed in this respect. The only re-
spect in which it has changed is that
it is playing better ball than it has
ever played before, and the Lojus will
be compelled to play and play hard if
they win from the Yamhill bunch Sun
day.
Harry Grayson OF Portland will
handle the indicator.
McMinnville lineup is problematic-
al. One thing only is certain, and that
is they will come with talent of the
sort which wins baseball games easi-
ly or loses them mighty hard.
1t is likely that Cole will pitch for
the locals, and the remainder of the
team will be about as it has been in
the last two games. Those who wit
messed the humbling of the mighty
Baby Beavers in the contest last Sun
day will concede thar this is good
enough.

Million Dollars for Nation Forest

Secretary Houston has Just announe-

cipal national forest states are as fol-
lows: Alaska, S46,2S0 Arizona, S59,

Football Practice Will
Begin Next Monday

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Monday will see
the opening on a modest scale of foot
ball practice among the schools of the
Big Nine conference comprising Chi
cago, Purdue, Indiana. Ohio State,
Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois universities.
The call for football material was
sent out last week by coaches in all the
schools, who want their players under
their guiding wing soon.
Although football practice in this
section will not open until the middle
of the month, the coming September
has found the men eager for practice,
Some candidates for the gridiron are
making the trip all the way from the
Mexican border, where they went with
the National Guard.
Discussion of new rules and new
styles of play occupied the training
camps today. The most important
change in the rules of the game is the
one pertaining to the safety. The rule
as it now appears provides that the man
carrying the ball cannot be forced back
from his most advanced position. A
gain once made cannot be lost through
pushing by the opposition. This rule
probably will almost entirely eliminate
the safety. Coaches also declare it will
prevent injuries to backfield men and
will give light teams much better
chance against heavier opponents.
Another rule to prevent injuries this
year is that opposition players will not
be allowed to charge a man attempting
to catch n punt, his activities being re-
strained to batting or catching the ball.
October will see every Big Nine
team in action on its home grounds with
second rate teams as opponents. Chi
cago will meet Carleton college of
Minneapolis; Illinois meets Kansas;
Minnesota plays South Dakota; Wis.
consin clashes with Lawrence; North.

And parents dead and gone,
Filled her with longing to join them

And hold me in your arms,
And call me again your darling child,
And sing me those old sweet songs. y

And let they spirit guide me.
