All manner of nice adjustments can
be made to suit the character of the

been a great cheapening of the or

LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT

ponent OF league OF nations trans
mitted Tuesday TO the society of ma
tions commission recommendations
as TO principles which had been sub
mitted to him by the inter-allied
association for the promotion OF a
league OF nations.
One OF the recommendation urged
the establishment by the society OF
nations of an international commits
sion on education. Other recon-
mendations we're OF a military ma
ture. One OF these would bind the
associated states to prohibit the sales
of arms and munitions now possessed
or which may be ultimately manu-
factured, to states outside the league,
while another would prohibit the
trade and manufacture of all arms
and munitions OF war by private es-
Establishments. II also was recon-
mended that the society OF nations
shall fix the number OF men TO be
enrolled in the military and naval
forces of each member, having regard
only for possible aggressions from

WAR CLOUDS LOOM
IN SHOOTING CONTEST
Jeffries charged With Conduct Un-
becoming to Sport and May Have
Bars Put Up Against Him.

The second rabbit shooting contest
between teams captained by G.. w.
Kerr and Wylie Oliver was held at
Cedar Ridge the 5th, with the score
ending in favor of the Kerr team.
The score was more even than in the
forst contest, being 154 for the Kerr
team to 130 for the Oliver team.
Charges of gross misconduct have
been made against d. B. Jeffries,
coupled with threats to declare the
contest null and void, and to disqual-
ify him from furure contests. 1t is
charged that Jeffries caught rabbit
asleep under a sagebrush, cut off it's
ears and headed it toward Sid Oliver,
who wasted two shells on the rabbit,
only to find that it had been scalped.
Sid chased the rabbit a long dis
tance in order to get shot, and feels
| that he has grounds for damages
against Jeffries as well as for dis
barment proceedings.
Jeffries defends himself by saying
that he shot the rabbit and was as
much surprised as anyone when he
| threw the rabbit down after taking
its ears, to see it get up and run
! But the fact that he was so badly
| tickied that he lay down and rolled
about in the sagebrush when he saw
the rabbit making a bee line for Sid
is held as evidence against him. Sic
says if he can get a lawyer to take
the case that the damage suit now
