Registers High Score in Rifle
Club Shoot Held Last
Night

Although Hans Larson won high
score in the pistol match last night
at the regular semi-weekly shoot of

this vicinity.
Larson made a score of rs in the
slow fire event and took 20 credits
in the rapid fire contest, while Sor-
ensen racked up "a points out of a
possible 100 in the slow fire and
dropped to 20 for rapid firing.
Eight local gunners participated in

scheduled for a special event no

was second in the contest, making
score of 1873. The next match will
be held at the local range on Tues
day night. The following are last

Do Rabbits Talk

Woodland backs up against Mrs
Randall's garden at Jamaica, l.. /.
A few mornings ago she saw for
lorn rabbit sitting on her back door
step and threw it a few scraps. Next
morning the rabbit was back with a
companion. She fed the two. Twen-
ty-four hours later the rabbit had
two companions and they greedily
ate the lettuce and cabbage leaves
she threw to them. The next morn
ing seven rabbits sat on the door
step and it took time and a neigh
boris dog to convince them that
enough is plenty.
We wonder if the rabbits put out
last spring by the Perth Amboy Rod
and Gun Club have increased so
rapidly.

Fishing along the Jersey Coast

best this season. Lassen and Jen-

at Seaside Park took IA blues. L

weakfish. One of the weakfsh went

This is the time of year for deep
sea fishermen TO be careIul OF the

several boats that were missing for
forty-eight hours over last week end
should be a warning to all who en-
Joy this kind of sport.
Now is the time for good black
bass fishing. The water is gettiug
cold and the fish are in fine trim for
fight Good fishing can be found
at Factory pond near Englishtown.
A party there last Sunday took Il fine
mess and enjoyed a great days S

Channel bass are along the Jer-

from half high to half low tide.

Leading a Flxing Bird

The question is often asked by
the novice-How much must L leao
a flying bird?
This depends upon several things
upon the speed of the bird. its
distance from the gun, the angle be-
tween the line of flight and the line
of aim and the arc through which
you swing your gun while aiming
also the speed of the swing Be-
cause of these things which must be
taken into consideration instantly,
good wing shots become such only
after long practice and experience.
You can nearly always kill quail
at any distance within range by
swinging past the bird and firing just
after your gun passes the mars
This will take care of any but the
very long range shots at quail whlch
are flying at right angles to the line
of aim. To get these requires prac'
tice and experience.
Ducks fly faster than quail. They
are usually fired at at much longer
range and it Is necessary to LEAD
them much further. Even while
swinging the gun muzz1e very rapid
ly you will often hit a duck that is
much further back in the flock than
the one at which you fred. Ten and
even twenty feet of lead is often
required to place the charge on a
duck that is travelling with the wind
and is well out.
Trap shooting, many to the con-
trary, notwithstanding, is good prac-
tice for one who desires to become a
good wind shot

itical machine that keeps the
town hogtied. Opportunities
for community growth are
lost every day that a siIurian
town council, such as has ex-

Newcomers who want the
town to grow into a residen-
t1al, home loving community
must push the old "has
beens" out and replace them
with newer and more modern
timber. In the coming spring
election Wickenburg must
choose whether 1t will re-
