 But the widows income is not to be paid to her unless she excludes from her residence her father, Ernest A Schmidt. If he resides with her, or has anything to da with her children, the trust provision is revoked. The testator was more kindly disposed to- ward his mother in law. She is to be cared for and have all her wants sat isfied from his estate. After their mothers death, the testator's three children, John, aged 12; Edward. aged g. and Herbert, aged 6, are to divide the principal.

The writer was shooting number one in squad one. Every team member was intensely alert and watching results. Inhaling long breath, the call ''pulT' was given. 4 straight away was sprung from the trap into midair.

Two expert traps were there placed and set to throw two (dobules) targets at an approximate height Of fifty feet. directly over the head of a contestant. standing thirty yards in front of the tower on an imaginary deadline.

Question: When a gun leads" what causes that kind of a condition? Would it hurt the shooting of gun if it was to lead?-Charles O'Donneli, Minneapolis, Minn.
 Answer: It is frequently the case that small streaks of lead will be found in a gun barrel after it has been shot This is known to the fraternity as Heading" It is caused by the heat ing of the pellets ard the choking or muzle contraction of the gun barrel, condensing the shot at that point My personal experience has been that the shooting qualities of gun are not i'm paired by "leading," If so to an extent so limited that it is not perceptible. A few years since 1 attended a number of tournaments. During the trip l fired S40O shots through the left bar rel of my gun. There was never a cleaning rod through the gun. At the conclusion of my trip, as matter Of my gun was targetted be- fore cleaning then with emery the bar rel was polished. again tested for pat tern and penetration. There was ab- solutely no difference in the shooting qualities before or after cleaning. Understand this is not an endorsement of the neglect of guns, but state ment of fact. which may be of use to many who have thought to the con- trary condemning the leading of their gun for many targets missed through their inability to accurately hold.
 Question: When. there is a conflict between the state and federal migra- tory bird laws, which should a man respect? If you should violate the federal requirements and yet remain within the boundaries of the state law. would the state authorities defend ou?--D. R. W. Pittsburgh, Pa.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS.

Special attention should be given by Democratic voters of Arizona at the coming election to the non-partisan offices as they appear on the ballot. These offices, including the state tax commission, and the superior and the supreme judgeships, are not placed with the other offices on the ballot but are under the designation of non-partisan, and there is nothing to indicate what the party utilization of the vari- ous candidates for these offices may be.
 A great many voters in past Democratic ticket, have thought it sufficient to merely mark a cross at the top of the ballot to indicate that they favored all Democratic candidates on the list. Such a practice will leave the tax commission and the judgeships out of the vote all together, and for this reason the attention of the public is called to the necessity of marking a cross beside the names of candi- dates for non partisan offices, whom the voter wishes to be elected.
 The Democratic candidates for the tax commission are Frank Luke and E. A. Hughes; and for the supreme court, Judge A. G. McA lister.

MOST IMPORTANJ RESPONSE 'BIElTY. -- = -.-t-

The most important .reSposi- bility carried by any county of ficer is that imposed upon mem In the functions of the office there are combined executive, legislative and judicial powers.
 In equalization of assessments and adjustment of taxation their authority is judicial; in regula- tion of the business of the county and in enactment of county ordi- nances, their function is legiSla- tive; while in the purchase of and payment for supplies and salaries, arrangement and, con duct of elections, the power is executive. Beside all that there is real financial responsibility in dis bursement of large sums of money.
 Carrying so great & responsi- bility with so wide ,varity of function there is required a high order of executive and minister ial ability to fill acceptably the post of member of the board of supervisors. That the Demo- cratic nominees for those posts in Santa Cruz county meet all requirements is proved in the precision and excellence of the work they are performing regu- larly as present incum bents of offices to which they have been nominated for re election.,t
 Both James A. Harrison and Oscar F. Ashburn are long time residents of Santa Cruz county; they are heavy property owners, large taxpayers, and most effi- cient business men. Thorough ly conversant with the county they know the wants and needs of all parts. As asserted in the preceding paragraph they have filled the offices satisfactorily and efficiently; and there is no need for a change.-Oasis.
