To political observers, the real sur

Clay bird breakers stand sixteen

the discs are hurled into the air. They
have a perfect light back of them in
the afternoon as shooting is done to-
ward the east. Experienced men,
Springer says, usually crack down on
their birds at a distance of about forty
yards from the point at which they are
standing. Twelve gauge shot guns are
used. Many of the members are using
specially constructed shot guns. single
barrel, hammerless, with a ventilated
rubbing on top the barrel to assist in
keeping the gun cool, similar to the
rubbing on machine guns. A gun of
this sort may be purchased at any
figure between 800 and $1,000. The
higher cost is not in increased eff
cheney of the piece so much as in its
ornateness and expensive mounting.
Accurate, serviceable guns may be
purchased cheaper.
There was a day when any old mus
ket was considered all right. More
science is used now in fitting the right
gun to the right man. The length of
the stock is considered. The modern
tendency, Springer points out. is to-
is, the barrel comes nearer forming a
straight line with the stock.

seed is in itself, upon the earth; and it
so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and
herb yielding seed after his kind, and the

was good.
And the evening and the morning were
the third day.
And God said, Let there be lights in the
armament of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years !;
And let them be for lights in the firma-
ment of the heaven to give light upon the
earth; and it was so.
And God made two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night; he made the
stars also.
And God set them in the armament of
the heaven to give light. upon the earth,
And TO rule over the day and over the
night, and to divide the light from the
darkness; and God saw that it was good.
