c. P. A. SMOKER
To BE STAGED
FRIDAY NIGHT
Public Shooting Ground to
Be Discussed BY Local
Sportsmen; Smoker viii
Start at 8 O'Clock.
(c) Underwood & Underwood

| A sportsmen's smoker will be
held at the Chamber Of Commerce
Friday night under the auspices
| of the Albuquerque Game Protec-
| tive association for the purpose of
discussing the public shooting
ground bill now before congress,
and the game refugees recently
created by the state game COM
| mission. The smoker will start at
8 p. m.
Local sportsmen state that since
the last meeting, at which the
public shooting grounds bill was
discussed, a considerable number
OF lakes in the Rio Grande valley
have been leased by shooting clubs
One of the purposes of the smok-
err will be to discuss the possibili-
ties of obtaining federal funds,
to be raised under the provisions
of the public shooting grounds bill.
for the purchase of additional
lakes to be perpetually held in
public ownership and developed so
as to furnish shooting to the nom
club member Officials Of the local
Game Protective association have
expressed the view that the pas
sage of this bill. and the funds
thatF would become available
through it's passage, are the only
means in sight for preserving
shooting privileges for the citizen
who does not belong to a club.
The bill proposes to tax each
hunter of migratory birds 81 per
year and will produce n federal
fund of around 100000. In adj
dition to purchasing shooting
grounds, the fund is to be used for
buying up and improving breeding
grounds which might otherwise be
drained or become unproductive.
All sportsmen, whether or not
members of the Game Protective
association, are invited to attend
the smoker. Kenneth Baldridge.
vice president of the Game Pro-
tective association, will preside,
and refreshments will be served.

The question has been asked, In
what way are Chamberlain Tab

thartic and liver pills? Our answer
is, they are easier and more pleas

gentle that one hardly realizes that
1t is produced by medicine. Then,
they not only move the bowels but

THE RAMBLER VISITS A LITTLE CHURCH
ON A FAMOUS VIRGINIA BATTLEFIELD

Goshen churches in the battle coun--
try. If the Rambler wanted to get
the real story of Salem Church he
should go to see Jim Pates, who lived
about two miles west of the church,
or Jim Lewis, who lived about three
quarters of a mile east.
For the conservation of foot power
the Rambler chose Jim, otherwise
George Washington Lewis, and spent A
plea SAINT and needed rest on his cool
front porch, with frequent drinks
from his deep. cool well. Mr.. Lewis is
a trustee of Salem Church, and his
brother trustees are Ernest Pates.
Benjamin Hall and Farley Stephens.
There may be other trustees. but the
Rambler failed to set down their
names. Benjamin Hall teaches the
mems Bible class and Mrs. Lulu Or
rock the womenS class.
Mr.. Lewis. born in 1871, served in
battery which was at first Cooks Nir-
gfnia battery. then French's Virginia
battery and later Cooper's battery of
Braxton's battalion. He was cut off
from his command at Hatchers Run

TWO HUNDRED yards west of Sa-

there when Sedgewick'S Corps marched
