LaFleur were appointed a committee to improve the targets and the range before the 1914 shooting season commences. The treasurers report showed a deficit of some thirty .ive or six dollars on the aeaaon'a work, which was not surprising owing to the many expenses the aasoclation hu been at in putting the range in order, erecting targets, etc., and in order to wipe out the debit balance and have something to start on next season, it was decided to give a ball aome time about the middle ot January further notice of which will be given later.

This question is heard everywhere theae days, on the street, ln shops, in homes, and wherever men and women get together, It is a question always of mueh Importance to every householder but ths present month lends additional Interest Inasmuch as the accounts made out by the Electric Light Co. are for a period covering in moat Instances a month and half. Thla la accounted for by the fact that the meters were tested In October and read for the month ol Oetober at the time they were tested. As the trst began on ths llfteenth and proceeded until the end nf the month ths readings on most meters will vary very materially between tbe months of November and Octoher.
