CLAY BIRD BETTER

CPopular Mechanics)

From the convert of the brown wood en shelter perched on it's 16-foot legs there suddenly darted into the ken of the waiting sportsman ghostly sort of white, bird. Horizontally. as straight as an arrow and nearly as swift as one, it sped across the space to another tower hundred feet or more away
 The double flew to the shoulder of the marskman, light-blue vapor puffed from the muzzle, the nitro cracked sharply. Promptly the white bird ceased its level gliding. it fell straight down six inches or more, then it dang led in unbirdlike fashion at the end of a rod to which it's beak was fastened.
 Again the marksman closed the gun on fresh cartridge and stood ready. That was easy. he told himself; all you had to watch for was the white bird, dove-size and shape, darting out from the shelter of either of the board

COMPANY ENJOYS
 SHOOTING MATCH

About 40 members of Company A went to the rifle range Sunday after noon for their monthly shoot. Much excellent shooting was a feature of the day. Corporal Wilson was first with a score of 47 out of a possible 50. Pri- vate Knapp was second with 45 and there were many who came just under the mark. The total scores will be published as soon as available. After the shoot the company met around a bountious spread of "eats'' and every one did full justice to it whether they did good shooting or not. Captain Heath promises much of interest dur ing the next two months and says he can use two more good men. From present indications it appears that Company A has won the cup presented for the company having the largest percentage of members present.
