THE BOND ISSUE
It tli** bond issue failles at n<*xt
Thursday's election Minefield will he
honied to the limit allowed by law.
This bond issue designates $7.*.no0.
00 of the $100.00*1.00 bond i.-se*
o In* expended on certoin streets, t
should he remembered that if this is
sue is voted the city may preclude
tseif for years to come from rais

ll* Other ponton* or the city, other
improvements may On* ^needed .so
l.adlv, but the city will he bonded
to tlif' fullest limit and the money
cannot bo raised with which to make
t hem.
We believe it manifestly unjust
for th»* city to borrow the last pen
"> *i Is allow** I under the law to
borrow for improving certain pot
tions of city and leaving other por
ion- with no | o-silile chance to get
inprovenienfs for veats to come.
Minefield may. uilTTer Sec. 40 *if

der flu* law it can only he paid out
for this purpose This 10 cents on the
$1***1 wITI yield a revenue of $7.**0*i -
()o a year for paving and sewers.
Now it should tie rr*7tir-mTTered that
the city's portion ot all the paving
done last year amounted to only
$*i,800.00. 'I'his is according to the
figures given out hy fhe city engi

We believe Tlitieflelri should lie
Improved and TJeaiiiTeed. But we
ar led to believe T,iat tills can h**
done without bonding the city to Its
limit. More f oul I he done with th<*
le\v of ]y cents on the $100 than
was done last year in the way of pav
I be $7,000.0* a year that this
levy would yield and a small Issue

LEARNING TO SHOOT.
A Simple Rifle Target and the Way to
Practice.
’1 he first moving target that I would
recommend Is one thal is simplicity it
self ami yet, with the assistance of u
Kent le sloping hill and a friend to take
turns with you, will he of great value
ami henellt. One of the most success
ful deer hunters I know trained this
way. anil you will readily see the good
points of (Ids practice on trial of it.
Secure half a dozen harrel heads for
jour partner. Have him take a posi
tion at the top of the hill and roll these
heads down the slope diagomC.v. At
tlrst It will he I test to select a fairly
smooth slope and have the targets roll
ed down at a medium rate. At tifty
to seventy-live yards take your posi
tion, according to your gun and am
munition. If It Is a 22, a somewhat
smaller target might he used at a little
shorter distance. At your signal one
of these targets Is started on its Jour
neys. As It starts bring the gun to
the shoulder, taking aim and swinging
with the moving object. Always aim
to hit >L'«*ent r of tile object. Voli
will timl that tile eye naturally seeks
the center, just as It Is nature for one
to see the front sight through the cen
ter of tin* peep. l*o not attempt to
hold your gun at a point the target
will pass and try to pull the trigger
while It passes, hut pull when the aim
has been secured, just as w lien bring
at n stationary object. Outer's Hook.
