MARINE RIFLE EXPERT
ROYALTY WELCOMED

Gold-braided admirals and generals
with war decorations gave the individ-
ual rifle champion of the world, Ser
geant Morris Fisher, of the u. s.
Marines, "gangway" and admiration
when he arrived in Washington from
Antwerp. Belgium. last week.
Using the U. S. magazine rife,
Fisher won the 300-meter free rifle
match at the Olympic shoot last month
against ninety competitors represent
ing thirteen different nations. His
score of 1896 out of a possible 1880 was
seven points over that of his nearest
rival, Larsen, of Denmark.
In this event the use of any type or
pattern of rife is permissible, with no
restrictions as to telescope sights,
special barrels and other accessories
which make for accuracy. Fishers
performance marks the first time this
match has ever been won with the
standard military rifle of any country
and also the first time the match has
been won by a member of an American
team.

The father did not seem quite so
anxious to make the flight as the son,

nor unpleasantness during the air
voyage. until he looked earthward,
and saw how far he was from terra

Both Gilbert and his father were de-

skyward, and Gilbert is ready to make

was hustling for his a. fodder with
Camel cigarette perched between his lips and
looking as happy as turtle on log It's

Well sir, Pete, what Ratty ratified into my
rafters would supply Camel selling stuff for
year! There's nothing to this cigarette
game but Camels," said Ratty. Their mel
lowness is a revelation and / never did run
into such mildness in my lifel And, when
you figure that Camels have ALL the body"
any smoker wants-well, / just marvel that
such a cigarette could be made! Ever get
such refreshing favor?
For instance, Ratty spread this :-"Shorty,
/ can't stand the usual unpleasant cigaretty
aft'rtaste and unpleasant cigaretty odor!
CaneIS are free from both! Goo per cent.
o. K, PeteD And, they never tire my taste!
When you pass by Camels you have slipped
by your smoke signalsl
Tried to get Ratty to put some of that
sales talk on paper, but he came back You
tell 'en, old kettle-you've got the spout!
Pete, Camels won Ratty's favor like they've
won thousands of othersi They'll win any
man who gives them chance!

the importation of liquor by any
IOne.

George Estes, confined at the p

inmate in his ultimate recovery
at which time authorities will
complete the investigation which
has been hindered by his precar-

Gus nature continue to eminate
from here and there alike, how
ever, the statements of two men,
Estes and Detective Joe Spivy,
will be productive of testimony
from the only living participants.
This will be taken up when the

gathered of an evening to toast, their
toes around the stove and settle the
affairs of the nation, finds itself. to-
day with some. pretty serious prob

tomobile have stimulated a tendency
on the part of the country people to
go to the city to trade even for the
purchase of small articles that used
to be bought only of the nearest store
at the crossroads. And the country
store is confronted with the necessity
of overcoming this town trade ten
dency if it. is to- do a worth while
business.
