Weakest features, in addition to rails and utilities, included Atlantic Gulf, Marine, General Motors, Texas Company and General Electric. U. $. Steel lost an extreme of a point, but rallied slightly. Sales amounted to 625, ,000 shares.

National Association of Shotgun Own.

S. o. com panies are being formed nearly every day and the individual bership has mounted into the thousands. Fifty companies are now drilling in as many cities. >t4
 The prime object of the National Association of Shotgun Owners is for the protection of the homes in case of riot or invasion; and the need of such an organization became appar- ent when it was decided by the Fed eral Government to muster the Nat ional Guard into the Regular Army, thereby leaving the country without
 the protection it had formerly en-
 joyed- and leaving the community open
 to mobs and rioters, instgated and enS outraged by the representatives of our enemies, the German Government These are not idle thoughts, and there is no community in the country immune from these attacks, as waE revealed in the trial of the I. W. W. in Oklahoma, where it was confessed by one of their member that a plot had been entered into by more than 2,000, ,0e malcoutents to capture small towns
 mob banks, burn bridges and cut tel egraph and telephone wires, not only in Oklahoma, but in forty y-eight States. This, if the plaans had not been frustrated would have so de-
 morahzed the country thaat our ef-
 ficiency would haave decreased, anG we would be compelled to retain ous
 forces at home instead Of sending oul wonderful army to France to help oul allies in the great fight for de.
