that it aroused desire in Tebo to go,

He explained to the judge that he
is not in good health. The judge Or
dered him examined and found that
his health is poor. He then consented
to send him to Leavenworth for a
year instead OF to the Douglas county
Jail. "A year and a day" is the mini
mum sentence under which federal
prisoners are admitted to the federal
prison. For shorter sentences they
are sent to county jails. Men who
have served time in both usually
prefer a year in the federal prison to
a few months in the average county
jail. A splendid hospital is part Of
the equipment at the Leavenworth

UNCLE SAM PAYS
SOLDIERS HIGHEST
Aen Who Go to the Front for
United States Get More
Money Than Any
Others.
BY A. R. GROH.

Uncle Sans soldiers, a week or
two ago, received a 100 per cent in
crease in their pay. They were
raised" from SIS a month to $50 a
month.
A private soldier in our army now
receives $3.50 year. He is, there
fore, by far the best paid soldier in
the world.
Here is :he pay that private SOL
der gets in other countries: Great
Britain, $89 a year; France, $40 a
year; Germany, $38 a year; Italy, $40
year. In Turkey private soldier
gets $ll a year; in Austria-Hungary
and Japan he gets So year, and in
Russia he gets just $4 for a years
service.
A private soldier in our army gets
little more pay than captain in the
Russian army. He gets almost as
much as a colonel in the Russian
army, the colonels salary being 1898
a year. (These figures, of course,
are all reduced from pounds, shillings,
francs, lira, roubles and marks to dol
lars).
In addition to the money pay SOL
diers receive quarters, clothing, ra-
tions and medical attendance in all
armies. Mounted officers receive al
lowances for horse and equipment.
Keep Books on Pay.
In European armies the allowances
under different circumstances are SO
numerous that books are required to
cover them. In Russia, for instance,
four volumes are required to deal
with the subject of pay.
In England additional pay is given
for foreign service, for command, for
armament, for fuel, lights, servants,
mess, official entertainments, etc.
In France additional pay is given
according to the number Of children
the soldier has, for prison duty, for
being stationed in Paris (because OF
the higher cost Of living). =. .
Pay of officers varies greatly in the
different countries. The annual sal
ary Of q colonel in the various coun-
tries is as follows: United States,
S4UUU; Great britain, 9E,VSoj rldiSS,
$1,744; Germany, $2,l62; Russia, 1898;
Austria Hungary Lew. Japan,
$l,470; Italy, $l,520; Spain, $l,450;
Turkey, $l,3S4.
Goes With the Pay.
Officers allowances and perquisites
are extremely varied in the different
countries.
The United States has the only
really democratic army in the world.
Here a man of any birth or station
may become an officer. In England
officers are drawn lin ordinary times,
at least) from the upper or wealthier
classes. 1t is not presumed that their
salaries are sufficient to support them.
In Germany an officer, before being
permitted to marry, must show that
he or his wife has sufficient private
income to maintain them according
to their position.
A private soldier in our army also
receives a fixed increase of pay for
eachare- enlistment up to the seventh.
After thirty years service he may re-.
tire, with rs per cent of his pay and
allowances for the rest OF his days.

our opinions no doubt at times vary

However, you will excuse us for our
mistakes. If such you think they are,

and one doesn't realize this until once
they are in the game.
We have this complaint and that

ed with in some sort of way. The
editor of q newspaper is just like the
manager of any other business estab-
lishment-he is going to run things
to suit himself, it's human nature.
But we do like to receive advice and
suggestions, and we don't think that
we are so narrow minded that we will
not heed the public opinion. We are
endeavOring to do the best We can to
give our readers a newspaper worthy
OF their support, and we are at all
times working towards that end. 1t
costs considerable money to operate
a newspaper, probably more than the
average person may think, and We
must create a revenue whereby our
existence is assured.
In years gone by the average news
paper was not run by business meth
DDS, but was a mighty poor excuse
in a business way. This state of af-
fairs has in most instances been ov-
ercome by the present generation of
the newspaper fraternity, and the
newspaper man must be q business
man as we'll as experienced in other
lines, to really be a success. Please
don't blame the newspaper man for
conducting his newspaper along strict
ly business lines, as it means just as
much to him as it does to any other
business man in the town in which he
resides.

have Joined the national colors, there
will be no new players In the lineups.

will be Eddie" Regan and Gene Park

ing for the st. Peters five will be done
by the Island combination of Lehman

too many baskets.
This game will be played for the

and 1t is probable that II such were
not the case that those two teams
would never meet this year. These
two flves have showed themselves to
be about evenly matched in past per-

kwithstanding the young
canes which blew over the traps at
divers times during the week, the
shooting WAS exceptional. y Mark Arie,
of Thomasboro.. ILL.,. averaged 96 for
600 targets, thrown all angles. He
shot at 400 from l6 yards and 200 from
20 yards. For the shooting he did in
ties and In events prior to the Grand

Frank Troeh was high average shoot

Clarence b. Platt. of Bridgeton, N. J..
also bettered the mark set by Troeh,

Aries shooting was remarkable. He
won the Hercules all-round amateur
trophy, gotkin the prize money in the

National Amateur Championship, and
finished by tieing for first place In
the Grand American Handicap. He
broke 80 to tie in the National AM

AT THE TRAPS
FACTS ABOUT TOURNAMENT.
BY PETER p. CARNEY.

L
(Editor National Sports Syndicate.)
With each year the Grand Amer
lean Trapshooting tournament becomes
a bigger sporting proposition.
In the blue ribbon events of trapdom
held late in August at the palatial
home of the South Shore Country
Club Chicago, ILL.,, 798 shooters par
ticipated and fired at 303,25s of the
lnanimate clay targets. This is co.
7SS more than were trapped In the
carnival at Grant Park, Chicago. in
1915, and $4,000 more than were
trapped In st. Louis, Mo-, last year.
The Grand American Tournament
is to trapshooters what the worlds 8
series" Is to the baseball bugs" 1t is
a sporting classic of equal importance
to the baseball finale. This trapshoot-
ing carnival is a much bigger event
than the average reader of the doings
in sportdom Is aware of. There Is not
another sport that will attract 79S
contestants, especially If the contest
ants pay all their own expenses, as
the shooters do. Furthermore, the
majority of the trapshots bring their
families along, which adds to the ex-
pense account and adds to the gen.
eral III. c. of l..
Shells and Targets Cost $2f 900.
The throwing ogI 30S,25S targets
means that the same number of shells
were fired. In those shells were more
than ton of powder. The shells and
targets mean an outlay to the shoot
ers of s21.22s.06. The entrance fees
of the sho oters and the purse offered
by the Interstate Association amount
ed to $4,000. 1t is estimated that the
expenses of the 798 shooters to the
tournament would average 500 each
In, lx
ing by large. this Is q considerable
sum of money for one weeks amuse-
ment. 1t only goes to show the size
of the tournament and the great In
terest that is manifested
There are many fsyents on the
Grand American Trapshooting pro-
gram. 1t is the place where the trap
shooting championships are decided
and the mediocre trapshooters get an
opportunity of trying their skill and
nerve against the better trapshooters
In the handicap events. The shooting
was better this year than In any pre-
ceding year. Last year In st. Louis,
for example, there wasn't one score of
100 in any 100-target event In the
Chicago overture this time four shoot
ers tied at 100 and eleven more were
tie at 80. There were so many 98's
that only a half dozen of them got
into the prize money.
The shooting was so exceptional
that the shooters before the week was
up were suggesting that the prize
money be spread over more places that
the money be graded so that it would
go further and please more shooters.
Everyone lines to win--no matter
how small the prize may be. Another
thing that will have to be given con-
sideration in tournaments to come is
the number Of traps to be used. Ten
were used at the South Shore tourn-
