FRUIT DRYING |S
 DEMONSTRATED
 T0LARGE CROWD

An interesting drying demonstration of vegetables and fruits was given Saturday evening in the Maricopa county office by J. F. Crider, state horticulturist and drying expert of the University of Arizona. There were 50 people present at the demonstration which included the drying of figs, peaches, plums and grapes.
 MT. Crider began the demonstration with short explanatory talk in which he gave the three principles underlying the drying process. They are: First, to arrest decomposition and the chem icai changes which take place as soon as the skin is broken; second, to keep the fruit at as high a temperature as possible in order not to destroy the quality, and third, to provide means

SHOOTING A SPORT
ALWAYS TO Be POPULA
1t IS the One Pastime That Knows
No Age Limitation on-Veter-
ans on Top.

Throughout the ages the sport of
shooting has been popular in some form
or other.
Our half-ape forefathers indulsed in
contests where the weapon was a good
right arm and the bullet smooth, round
stone.
Later on the bow and arrow were
invented and then the cross-bow. and
contests OF skill with those ancient
weapons were popular with people who
felt that they should prepare for war in
time OF peace.
While it is true that shooting has
always been popular, this article will
deal with the feature Of shooting that
places il so distinctly in a class i,v itsef
1t Is a fact that there is apparently no
age limit 70 skill with the rihed tube and
the polished bore
30 long as the male OF the species can
stand on his hind legs Use ms arms and
hands-snd has Al least one good eye
he can still derive almost unlimited
pleasure from shooting regardless Of
whether he is clad in knee brceches or
snowy haIr and long white whlskers
BEsT SHOTS ARE VETERANS.
Some OF the best shots are VA, past
the Osler age limit and their names still
figure in the lists OF winners with both
rife and shotgun
Many man has experienced the keen
est kind of regret on becoming aware
OF the fact that he would soon have 10
give up his favorite sport because he had
reached the age limit III has particular
line. One Of the strongest appeals that
shooting makes IS the fact that old age
cannot take 1t from YOU
Proof there is in plenty to substantiate
this fact
Take, Tor iustance. the All-American
trapshooting team. Thus group Of men.
sn IN number made q trip abroad in
1901 and IN q series of matches with the
best teams that the other countries
could produce they never met defeat.
Seventeen years nave lapsed and every
one Of the SIX is still rated as top-notcher.
The gray-haired baseball player is the
exception, bur YOU often see the grav-
haired man at the traps competing with
his son and frequently his grandson.
Take up shooting in some form. Tor
1t IS sport that you can stick to with the
assurance that you will always enjov it
and that voar skill viii stay with YOU
until the age when nothing remains Of
life but d host Of pleasant recollectious.

MILLION FOOTBALLS FOR BRITISH
Men on the Battle Front Find Diversion
in American College Game.

Paris, March 27.--Football hos made
such wonderful strides since the begin
ming of the war that it bids fair to become
rs popular in France as it is in England.
AS it stands now it may already be looked
upon as the national sport Of France.
One million footballs have been sent to
the troops In France.
The game was in favor with the French
people before the outbreak Of hostilities.
With the advent of the English troops IN
France, football has made more progress
during the last three years than during
all the years that elapsed since it was
introduced in France.
The French soldiers ere especially fond
of the game and each division boasts OF
one or more star elevens The Twentieth
Corps gave very creditable account of
itself some days ago when il met the cham
pions of 1917, the Associated Francaise,
the game ending with score of two to one.
But it Is among the younger genera
tions that football has taken frmer hold.
There are more than five hundred elevens
in Paris alone and every Sunday about
two hundred and fifty games are decided.
1t is estimated that over one hundred
thousand people see the games each
Sunday.
Before the war the "Liguc de Football
Association" composed of twelve clubs,
played weekly games which were attended
by numerous enthusiasts OF the sport,
but with the mobilization most OF the
athletes joined the army and during the
first few months of the war they had more
serious business. However, in 1915, with
the armies settled. down 20 trench war
fare and owing TO the close contact with
the British troops, which lost no oppor-
tunty of enjoying their favorite pastimc.
football received an impetus hitherto
unknown in France.
The British government has ordered
one million footballs for its troops in
France, delivery TO be made within the
next six months. Some of them have al
ready reached France. A new experiment
in footballs has been made Owing 10
the scarcity of leather, the covers are
made OF heavy canvass, which has been
gwen chemical treatment The new
footballs give satisfaction. the ball often
being in better condition at the conclu-
sion of the game than leather covered
ball would have been if subjected to
the same usage.
1t seems TO bc the ambition of the Young
Frcnchmen to become a champion foot
ball player, just as II was the dream Of
every American youth to develop into
a baseball star
