long one and it is alio a glorious one decanted with the names of sol diers from the regiment who have brought honour to the regiment at the annual rifle meeta at toronto ottawa la prairie oa well as other places hi canada on the buley teems that lourneyed annually to buley in eng land to compete with the teams from all over the empire the regiment had ita representatives in sergeant ralston and captain now colonel w- p uoore the storyshauld begin with the old munle loader called the brown beat which toon a minute to lead and fire and another minute far the flrer to re cover his potee and self poeaeaslon af ter pulling the trigger it had its compensations from all ac counts and i am told of a company not a halton company of course that went out to drill morning and after noon with the barrel tilled with good canadian whiskey at that time twen ty live cente per gallon and a cork in the munle to prevent the loos of the precious fluid the captain tordl whit a captain he must nave been would holt the periodically and give the command eyes right dreeel the tiflee being at the alope on the right shoulder and the men would turn their heads and eyes to the right raise the hammer of the gun and apply their llpe to the nipple and gravity would do the rest the needle gun a modification of the prussian weapon followed and its im proved form bore the name of the snider and with that weapon many or the men wrote their names into the records of the uutketry of the uuitla but it olio had its limitations and possessed a recoil compared with which a kick from the traditional army mule woe a gentle carets it was said that the snider would kick twice kick you off your feet and kick you after it got you down so that with a weapon of this temperament a day at the rifle ranges was a strenuoue exper ience and were it not for the fact that the rifles kicked all and sundry with the ssme venom and that everyone in th company had to get kicked the experience would have been insup portable vee the snider was a great weapon fore and aft ita report waa quite awe- insplrtng and the mantle of smoke with which it enveloped the marks man was a gas attack in miniature then came the martina henry not as an uiue to the uuitla but ae a target rifle which was used by most of the riflemen from the regiment till the lee uetf ord became standard equipment the oompanlee went to the rangee in turn carrying their dinners and making a day of it the worst men in the company wen detailed oa markers to remain in the butts under the targets and as the bullets whistled high and wide above their heads oc casionally perforating the eonvoss tar get these spirits of the under world would wave a flog block red black and white or while indicating the position of the shot and so th eon tempt of the marker for the marks man the shooting of the regiment as a whole was poor in those days and when one considers the rapid tire marksmanship of the men in the over seas battalions in the late war when every man was trained to place fifteen or more shots on a target in a minute the improvement is startling the rifle was largely the cause and the 1m provement in the ammunition in spite of the rifle however there were many who mode excellent seoree and the names of slaor ponton uajor grant private heaven captain john ston colonel murray colonel moore and sergeant ralston and msny others ore all names for the preeent day marksman to conjure with when the climatic conditions ore sll wrong when a mirage donees slang the barrel of the rule when the wind fishtails and when all the circumstances seem to conspire against the score that is necessary to place the name of the old regiment at the head of the column in the days of the old snider the elghti were sets with the use of a ver nier in many cases the slightest vsr- latlon in the sighting of the rule mak ing a tremendous differcne to the flight of the bullet owing to the rain bow course taken by the bullet in the modem rifle the sighting is still im portant but the adjustment simple the pressure of the atmosphere wss a potentn factor in those days so was the temperature and the slightest breese deflected the bullet from iu course a factor that was compensated for by the canting of the rifle to the right or left a movement of the great est delicacy with the modern rifle the bullet leaves the rifle with such a tremen dous velocity rising only a few feet above the line of light at the decisive ranges that for aervloe conditions these finer adjustmenu ore almost negligible in apiu of all these vital factors the rinemen of the earlier days mode fine seoree and the sport presented a very interesting diversion to those who were willing to devote the time to it the appended list wul recall to many matches that were won by one point by th men of other days using rifles that ore now os obsolete aa the nin lock musket much honour and glory to them ail the pen de jole is usually find as 0 port of the

in every municipality who complain that a certain set of men want to run th town says th municipal world but those who kick most are usually those who do nothing to assist in th civic work of their communities many who never attend a public meettagror even take the trouble to vote will stand on street comets and criticise their active and patriotic neighbors who try to get necessary things done running th town is not such a delightful pastime as some imagine and the leaders in ev ery community are men who sacrifice their time and contribute their money to aitlst movements for the public wel fare those who are dissatisfied with th leadership should get busy ami give a hand instead of eriuclslng from th sideline the ability to nonskid i worth a lot to young people no matter what their clrcumstanees in life may be there are many times when they find ft very slippery under foot times when they find lt difficult in a moral way to keep themselves right side up temptations of many sorts are continually tugging at them it is hard for them to hold their balance when so many other people slip and slide under allurements of this sort there u nothing that slves them ao much confidence in a friend as to see him brush such affairs aside and keep going straight that is the basis on which a lot of judgmenu in life are formed the ability of a person to go straight and nonslud when the way is slippery a bill was pased in the ontario legislature which we believe will work hardship on the farming conimiinlty the legislature enacts that sleigh runners must in future be four feet nine inches in width because lt is claimed that the narrower widths ruin the winter roads for automobiles a minimum penalty of 30 is to be im posed on any person driving a sleigh with runners of any other width af ter dec 1 1030 owners of sleighs will be under the necessity of having them made over or discarded for new ones which will entail considerable ex pense the enforced change will un doubtedly work to the advantage of manufacturers the time of effecting change in vehicles should be extend ed for a period of at least three years the most ridiculous part of the legis lation is the penalty it will be pretty hard to persuade the public that the offence of going upon the roads with a narrow gause sleigh warrants the imposition ol a v fine now that the snow has disappeared every owner of property and tenant should instinctively feel lt is his duty ravages and to aid nd augment na ture in her work of rebeautineatlon every aprtng cleanup program should include disposal of wlnleri

which to live than one that is unsanitary and unsightly and the best community advertising la the appearance of being cleanedup paintedup and plantcdup there is considerable comment going the rounds of the state press aa to whether or not the auto and the good rood have not sounded the doom of the small town it seems to us that this u a matter for the town to decide if it u a live town with a bunch of dood merchants who hustle advertise and give the kind of service that pleases the auto and the good roads will help the town and cause lt to grow and prosper however if the town is a dead one no push no progress poor and incompetent merchants then the auto and the good road will most certainly hasten tu end easy and ra pid travel are the making of a good town people like to trade in such a
