O miss than roma hit. If you. fail
to hit the bulls eye you start figuring
why you missed the shot, and so the
valuable habit Of analysing mistakes
is inculcatcd."
l. h importance of accurate muscu-
lar control. as pointed out by this ex-
pert, is obvious. Nerves are a prev
alent source of unfitness in this coun-
try today. The rifle expert says that
n person who is excessively
either learns to control his nerves and
muscles by practicing at a target or
he never learns to shoot. The ner-
ivous, thoughtless person who bangs
away gets nowhere until he develops
tself control. ~
The average individual can acquire
this control. The srifle expert says:
Skill at rifle shooting is not a gift,
and 1t is not born in the average
American. 1t Is sheer bunk that the
american can shoot intuitively. Given
better. muscular coordination by ma
ture one man may develop shooting
ability quicker than another OF
course, but most of the men at the
top of the game are men who have
got there by work" 81 ss1e
The expert offers another point to
show the value of rifle experience.
He points gu that because OF .the
danger of carelessly handled firearms
the discipline of the range is strict.
The amateur. soon has 1t drilled into
him that he must observe the rules
FLOR handling a gun and staying at his
post. Consciously or unconsciously
the man who shoots learns to disci-
pine himself and others. It is be-

so few accidents on the rifld range,
In the past ten years there have been

more than two or three people have

Mr.. GuMP AND THE RECOUNT

Friends of Hon. Andrew Gump are watching
with intense interest the progress of the recount Of
the votes cast in his congressional district, and there
has been some anxiety lest the final count should
show that the small majority by which he appeared
to be elected is supplanted, by a majority for his
antagonist: Fortune has huctuated during the re-
count, giving the advantage first to one candidate
and then to the other. The vote stands now just
about where it did at the beginning, with enough
precincts yet to be heard from to increase Mr..
Grnp's majority materially or to wipe it out al
together. ~ IS.
Under the circumstances, patience and self
restraint on the part of Mr.. Gulnp's friends are i'm

a magnificent campaign. He believes that he was
honestly elected. He may be ~pardoned if in the
intensity of his excitement he makes charges, of
wrongdoing which lie cannot substantiate. His
friends owe it to him and tosthernselves not .tpo let

TAXES N N

The statements made by Tax Commissioner
Converse at the recent meeting of the North Da-
|kota Education association has set a good many
people thinking. Mr.. Converse pointed out that
the appropriations for educational and charitable
institutions, soldiers bonus and highways consti-
Itutc Is per cent of the expenditures Of the state pro-
per. While it is imperative that every possible
economy be effected in the handling of every de-
Ipartlnent Of the states business, it is clear that the
utmost economy in the handling of the strictly
administrative work, which, all told, calls for less
than rs per cent Of the total expenditure could not
result in a very material decrease in taxation.
Much Of the expenditure on account of the edu-
|%cational and other public institutions of the state
lis for the erection of new buildings. We cannot
solve the problem BY disseminating building unless
we are to take steps which will result in cutting
down the attendance at our higher schools and
diminish the need for charitable and corrective in
We have been building every year, and
all our buildings are filled. The erection of build
|ings has not decreased the. demand for room, for
most of Our institutions are crowded to the doors.
We have adopted the mistaken policy of build
ing permanent structures out of current levics, a
policy which is not followed by any large business
concern and which the state itself Cannot follow
to advantage. Where provision is being made for
many years ahead asst should be in all our public
institutions, the cost of new structures should be
betrayed by the issue of bonds so that payments
would be extended over a reasonable time.
That this policy is accompanied by danger is
freely admitted. There is always the, tendency
to spend freely where payment is to be in the dis
,tant future. But sane regulation is possible, and
the bond plan seems to be the only feasible one.

WILD CREATURES HATE SNOW
Means Time Of Misery and Hunger to
Both Bird and Beast, and
Thousands Starve.

Most wild creatures abhOr snow.
For the rabbits and hares 1t means
that they must scratch down through
the dull, frozen stun before they can
find their usual food. If the snow Is
really hard the rabbits are reduced to
eating the bark of the fences near the
warrens.
All the smaller birds are cut on
from their food supplies. Those that
live on worms or insects are partlcu'
larly hard hit, and If the snow Hes
long the death roll among such birds
as robins Is really terrible. In that
winter OF 1917, when there were n
hundred days OF snow and frost in
England II is estimated that the Brit
ish isles lost about one-thlrd of their
smallblrd population.
Water rats, shrews and others all
dislike frost and snow because such
weather makes food more difficult to
obtain. Offers, as a rule, make straight
for the coast In a hard frost, and live
on dabs and founders In the unfrozen
estuarles.
Even rats, which can generally look
after themselves, dislike snow because
II makes their dark bodies too con-
splcuous TO their enemies and pre-
vents them from moving about as
freely MS they otherwise would.

Use River as Washtub.

The River Seine is the great wash
tub Of Paris. Here, as In Normandy,
and Brittany and other places, the
women wash In the river. Hundreds
OF white wash barges, or "layolrs," arc
anchored along It's banks. These boats
are sunk just deep enough TO bring the
water to convenient height. There
is a row OF wash stalls on each side.
A stall" in one OF these barges is
rented for two sous washing. Here
thousands Of women may be seen wash
ing busily. No hot water is used Oft
en- no soap. The women lean over the
edge of the boat, as though II were a
tub, and beat the linen with wooden
paddles. The noise of these beating
paddles, a steady "tap.toppng," can
be heard long distance. The clothes
are dried on the grass, or on lines,
along the banks OF the river.

AmerIean.Grown Bulbs.

In the future 1t is not likely that
the United States will continue to de-
pend upon Holland for our spring flow
ering bulbs. This country uses annu.
Rlly about S2,0OOO0O worth Of Dutch
bulbs, and produces scarcely $4,000
worth in any one year, this despite
the fact that few plants are more
widely adapted and few crops more
easily grown than bulbs The Federal
Department Of Agriculture has pre-
pared a very interesting bulletin on
bulb culture in the United States
which points to rich possibilities in
the years to come.
Bulbs can be grown In this country
on both the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards and In the Ohio and Mlsslsslp
pl valleys. Some Of the harder and
more robust of the narcissus varieties
thrive even In the gulf states. Con-
trary to what would be generally sup
posed II is not too cold for tulips and
narcissi to succeed as far north as
Sitka, Alaska. They thrive along the
entire border OF the United States,
wherever the moisture conditions are
suitable.
