A greater number of clay targets were thrown in Pennsylvania last year than in any other State. Usu ally the State that is favored with the Grand American Handicap Tour nament shows up in the records of Secretary Shaner, of the Interstate Trapshooting Association, as the one that hurls the most lifeless, and more often elusiveSclays. Last year was an exception, however.
 Pennsylvania in it's registered tour naments threw 57S,9S0 targets to 517,849 for Illinois. Last year Illinois threw 821,S55 targets.
 Quite naturally there was falling of in trapshooting tournaments last year as compared with the banner year of 1917. With the continued efforts of Uncle Sam to wage war for freedom for all peoples trapshoot- CTS went to the front h some clubs he membership was entirely wiped out This, as you know, had its effect In other places man-power was scarce and many men had to miss their usual recreation.

THE MAN Who COUNTS
By Theodore Roosevelt

The man who counts is the
man who is decent and who
makes himself felt as a force for
decency, for cleanliness, for civ
ic righteousness First, he must
be honest In the next place he
must have courage; the, timid
man counts hut little in the rou-
gh business of trying to do well
the worlds work. In addition he
must have common sense. If he
does not have it, no matter what
other qualities he may have, he
will find himself at the mercy of
those who, without possessing his
desire to do right, know odly too
we'll how to make the wrong ef-
fective.

A WORD IN BEHALF OF

Probably many times our Sup
ervisors are criticized wrongful
~. They have many hard per-
picking questions and matters
before them and often it is diff
ficult matter to decide just what
is right.
Sometimes perhaps closer In
vestigation of their work should
be made before any blame is
placed upon them
| have been connected with
and working under them for
more than two and one half years
as keeper of the county paupers,
and must say they have been
nice, kind and courteous to me
The county is supporting only
three laupers. One man person
with a very unsound mind who
has had fits for many years, and
yet has them and who is carrying
many scars on his person caused
from severe wounds receiv ed by
falling into fire and boiling wat

Two old feeble, almost helpless
women, one with palsy; the 9th
er with a very bad eating cancer
on her head and face which is
becoming SO offensive at times
that one can hardly go in the
room where she is
They are objects of pity. The
county or no one else will have
to support them many more years
or much longer.

little colored girl if the girls

That is the kind of "eddica-
