Lucus. 21 Target Practice Twenty-three members of the Ore gon State Ouard were out to the rifle he was the unbroken outlaw horse, range Sunday for practice. As this boys they made an average score. Sergeant If L. Wilson made the highest score with the rifle, 45 out of SO, shoot ing 200 yards. First Sergeant Llnd ley did the best with pistol, making 21 out of 25 at 20 yards Monster Potato J. T. Cook brought to the Courier office this afternoon a monster po tato, weighing an even seven pounds. It Is of the Blue Victor variety and shows remarkable growth. Mr. Cook, whose place is on the Applegate river 14 miles from this city, last year had a good acre. age, but on account of the small amount realized from the crop, planted only a small plot this year, At a frontier celebration In Douglas, j Is the first chance that tho Ariz., he was again . unconquerable, have had to try their guns, Then he came to Fort Bliss and fell under the spell of Sergeant Davis' personality. Sergeant Davis "has a way" with him around horses. He can enter a corral, loop a halter over the wildest almal and lead him out. He knows horses as some men snow human beings. He believes they have feelings, sensations and the ability to think. He even ventures a guess that a horse has a soul. It required a month for him to enter "Funeral Wagon's" private corral. Another month was con sumed in the bestowal of a gentle pat on the big bay's shiny neck. No one else connected with the remount station could enter the corral. Let one of the professional "busters" ap proach with his bowed legs encased In chaps and the outlaw rears and plunges like a demon. It Is Ser geant Davis' theory that the horse has been spurred at some time In his life by a cowboy and the memory of those pointed spurs lingers In his brain. Applying his theory that kindness j accomplishes more than a spur, tfie veteran horse breaker convinced I "Funeral Wagon" there was a friend j of his at court. He has succeeded in teaching the outlaw horse to j count his age by making six playful I gestures with his left front foot. He has even reached the point In equine I education where he has saddled and ridden him around the corral. This was a red letter day at the remount for no one toad ever thrown a leg over the outlaw's back since he ar rived. Even then Sergeant Davis rigged up a contraption of window cord and pulleys called a Sleason bridle which looped under the horse's upper Hp and pressed against sensitive nerves when pulled sharp. Iy, his way to prevent a wild etanv pede should "Funeral Wagon" start back to Oregon overland. But the patient horse tamer has never been forced to use this bridle and he rides the outlaw dally for a short distance, but Tie 1s always careful not to excite him and he never carries a whip or wears spurs. He has hopes of making a fine riding horse of the outlaw and his fondest dream Is to have the commanding general ride him at review. Publicity Director Visits City George A. Van Smith, assistant cashier of the Anglo & London, Paris National Bank of San Francisco, was In the city today on business. Mr. Van Smith Is also director of pub licity of the liberty loan campaigns for the 12th federal reserve district and on this trip Is checking up the results of publicity campaigns with a view to eliminating any unneces sary expense In the supplying of pub. Hclty matter. SEED SAMPLES TESTED FREE AT THE O.A.C.

The ioss.from planting poor seed is with in the control of the farmer," says B. F. Shoehan, instructor at the O. A. C. Farmers of Oregon', Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming may get aeed samples tested free at the O. A. C. eed testing laboratory, Cor rallis. A good handful Is enough for the sample of moat seed.

Ilecontly ufficers of tho 13th division training hero were or dered to report for physical exami nation to determine their fitness for overseas duty. I.lko enlisted men they wore compelled to remove all their clothing. Into tho large room where sev eral medical officers were examining the divisional 1 leaders came Briga dier Goneral Cornelius Vanderbllt. of the 25th Infantry brigade. As an officer present expressed It "he was clad only In his Vnn Dyke and a smile." The general wears whiskers. Now when a general enters a room the occupants must come to atten tion, which is called usually by the first person to see him. When Gen eral Vanderbllt entered a captain called "attention." "At rost, gentlemen," answered General Vanderbllt. "We are all the same here and yon can see I am not wearing the Insignia of a general." In many matters such as thlH, ac cording to officers hero, General Vanderbllt hns won tho reputation of being one of the mot democratic generals yet stationed horn. RICE YIELD OF TEXAS IS Dnllus.
