SMALL
; Many observers of modem conditions feel alarm be-
cause the educated classes do not seem to be reproducing-
Vmselves through an adequate number of children. It is
"ed that cultured families very frequently have only one
Id or none at all, while those that have more than two are
I ; .immon. The result of this tendency, it is felt, will be to
', throw the control of the country more and more into the
I hands of the uneducated classes, the great majority of whom
; have large families of children, . There is some reason for
'. this complaint, and it seems unfortunate when people of
I highly cultured families can not bring enough children into
the world to pass on their training and ideals. The principal
' cause why this is so, is apparently the higher standard of
expense which these families have to conform to or think
; they must. This leads many young people to delay mar
J riage until a rather late date, thus reducing the chance Of
large families. Also if they do have a child or two, they may
feel inclined to limith the growth of the family for fear they
j can not stand the expense. What is needed is to have a more
I reasonable standard of expense for these families, so that ii
; would be possible for the young people to marry at an earlier
. date, and so that they would not be so fearful about support
! ing children. The public sentiment of the time should en-
courage economy and frown upon unnecessary expense. Ev-
ery effort should be made to have pleasures simple and inex
5 pensive. , Every young woman should be taught to do her
own house work, ant the young men should be instructed to
some extent in the same arts so they could take hold and help
i their wives. Young people ought to be urged very strongly
j also, to save their money before marriage, so that when they
start their little family they will have a considerable reserve
'ahead, .

JVtany churches have been trying a plan by which their
"men all go out on a certain Sunday two by two to call on all
; members of their parish. The purpose is to arouse fraternal
feeling, welcome strangers, promote church attendance, etc.
One interesting thing about this plan is the way the men
.IwiH take hold of it, although they never did church work be
fore. This is a suggestion to community organizations of
;;Roseburg that a large number of people are willing to work
;;for public causes, if some one will take the lead and suggest
;;u3cful tasks that need to be done. There is a great deal of
energy (hat can be utilized for good causes, if some one will
direct that energy and set it in motion.

In the shooting profession "Ad"
Topperwein who it to appear at the
local Gun Club grounds on April
12, is known as the "Wizard of the
HI He." He can do more things with
a rifle than Walter Johnson can
do with a baseball, or the late
Frank Ives could do with a billiard
ball.
The San Antonio (Texas) Ex
press say that Topperwein is the
best advertisement that town has,
because he alwaya keeps the place
lu the newspapers through his won
der! ul shooting.
Topperwein took up rifle shoot
ing while he was an artist on that
paper and he got lus Ideas for a
lot of the things he does today
while he waa working up photo
graphic lay-outs for the Express.
But that is all of the past
Topperwein today is ranked as
the greatest rifle shot In the world.
On no less than fifteen times has
he broken all world's records with
the rifle in shooting at flying tar
gets. On one occasion he broke 85
fiat of 100 21 Inch targets thrown
from an automobile going So mfle
ah hour. He first tossed the tar
gets and then shot at them. An
other record Is 4954 breaks out of
5000 1 3-4 lncb targets, and an even
more wonderful one Is the record
of 9.9U9 out of 10,000 -2 1-4 Inch
flying targets. Topperwein was sur
prised when he missed the one tar
get. Possibly hia most remarkable
shooting with a rifle waa at San
Antonio, in July, 1907, when he
shot eight hours a day for ton days
and only missed, nine in 72,500
I 1-4 inch wooden blocks that
were tossed 25 feet in tbe air by
an assistant. When Topperwein be
gan It was his intention to shoot
at 6000 targets a day for ten days,
and to create the world's record
for this line ol shooting. The scor
er paid no attention as the thous
ands rolled by, and It was In the
7000 block that Topperwein made
tbe first miss, so then tbe decision
was made to shoot 7500 a day, un
lesa the ammunition ran out, which
Is what happened. Out of the first
60,000 blocks shot at Topperwein
missed only four. Not only did Top
perwein shoot at the blocks, but he
loaded his Winchester every one of
the 72.600 times.
In this remarkable test of shoot
ing skill audi endurance Topper
wein had straight runs of 14,640,
13,697, 13.292, and 10,383. It isn't
likely this record will ever be
beaten. It Is a tremendous strain
to undergo such a performance.
From the standpoint of endurance
and the number of targets shot at
and broken this feat stands as the
world's greatest shooting iierform
ance. Topperwein Is Ihe originator of
many marvelous fancy shot. Also
the drawing of beads, such as
Uncle Sam, Indian Chief, and oth
er people prominent in everyday
life. He conceived the Idea of draw
ing pictures with rifle bullets while
an artist, and his artistic tempera
ment is still with him. A large
piece of tin or cardboard la used,
faatened to poets in front of the
audience, and then aa fast as the
automatic will fire Topperwein
draw tbe profile of Vncle Sam
and other with bullet.
in every senile of the word he is
a remarkable shooter.
Mr. Topperwein for a ecore of
year haa been giving thla wonder
ful shooting exhibition In behalf of
the Winchester Repealing Arm
Company. He la now on tour and
will give one of his remarkable
shooting exhibitions here on the af
ternoon of April 12 at the local gun
club grounds, id connecUoa with
the prise shoot to ae held on that
date.
He will give exhibitions of hoot
ing with various style of shot
guns and rifles and everyone inter-
jtd la Invited to attend and aee
the remarkable shooting by the
champion. Topperwein in his exhi
bition uses 14 guns.

BVENOS AIRES, , March. , 17.
Baseball has at last gained a place
among Argentine sports, though as
yet a small one. Two teams com
posed of natives have been organis

Fencing Club, the principal athletic
club of Buenos Aires.
Increasingly large numbers of
spectators watch the gamea which
they play with each other; with
teams of American residents, and
with one team of Japanese rest
dents. They field and bat well, but
have yet to develop pitcher able
to fool their American or Japanese
opponents often enough to wit a
