The old hunting instinct may lie, dormant the rest of the year. But there is something in these early au tumn days that forces it awake. As Kipling puts it, sportsmen hear the "red gods call." Whether for wild fowl or the wing ed or four-footed dwellers in the woods or fields, everybody's going hunting. And? "Ain't it a grand and gloiious feeling? ? . v : ^ The fortunate felloes are planning long hunting trips and the less for tunate are envying them. There are but few red-blooded, two-fisted men who are not rrmnag'11# somehow to squeeze at least several days' shoot ing into their month's activities. Ask men why they go hunting! They'll give you many reasons. Some prosperous business or professional men, probably, will tell you that there's no better preparation for the winter's work than some time spent in the open with their good Reming ton in hand, matching their quickness and wits against thpse of the game they're hunting. They'll say there's no pep-pr.oducer that can compare with the air of this "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness." redolent with the tang of the forest or salt of the bay ? that hunting's a real ef ficency measure. To bring home a good bag a man must be on the alert. Others will declare that now the country and the woods are at the height of their beauty. Many of the trees are beginning to put on their gorgeous russet, scarlet and gold coats" of autumn foliage. The land scape ~~on every side presents a pano rama in which they delight. Still others prize most highly ? be side the never-to-be-forgotten thrill of hunting? a pleasure of a more ?material kind; appetizipg dishes that are fit for a king; roast duck, broiled grouse or squirrel pot-pie-^pm yum! There are most as many given for going hunting as there are hunters, but all agree on one thing; not to go hunting is to miss a barrel of fun, to pass up a big part of the joy o' life. Fortunately game is plentiful this year. It has to be. The stores in town that carry sporting goods have laid in large and varied stocks ? in cluding some mighty good ideas in the way of hunters' equipment. "The best idea in loading shells I've run across in many a year," one nimrod in town well-known as an experienced and successful gunner was heard to remark around Bud ?Coleman's shop yesterday, "is Rem ington game loads. Say, those fel low*? hare got the TlghT~ 'hunch In scientifically loading shells to a uni form standard <>f pattern, penetration and velocity with moderate recoil. It means you get uniform results if ym aim straight- and you i un sure count u:i yTTu j ? truly to do that." \ i 1 ::i I'll, bids fair he a most Sll' ? ? ? t" 11 1 ?ea !

Wil liams' license was taken away from him, the. chief said, because he was under the influence of liquor while driving his car last Friday. Carr's and Langston's licenses were revoked because of immoral conduct, which Chief Golden said had bfcen proved. In this connection Chief Golden asked that it be stated that he was determ ined to put an end to immoral con duct and liquor drinking on the part of taxi drivers and he wishes to warn all others that the section governing it will be strictly enforced.

Two simple words that ar*t among those mo*t frequently mispronounced are column ami coupon. The explanation for both mispronunciations is simple: the are contused with Other words that suggest kinship where there is none, Column sounds so much like volume that careless ? and ignorant speakers treat them as parallels. The final syllables, hoover, show upon examination' an entirely different combination of sounds. The umn of the former is nothing but the simple -um sound; the . same short u that we find in rum, cut, gum. The -ume of volume is practically a long un-j accented -u; the u that we find ? in unite, or educate, with the y sound or recti y preseit. For cyoupon there! is less excuse, o far as 1 know th6re' is not a word in our, language in which ou has the pronunciation yu; yet thousands of people persist in dragging in the y. If we had phonetic spelling, we should probably have tollum. volyUm, and coopoh; but who wants those queer combinations, of letters? C,.? Answer, please, through the ."Better Speech Column," the follow ing: At school I was taught to add an apostrophe and the letter s to a word ending in any letter other than an s to form the possessive, as "man's work," and to add an apos trophe to form the possessive of a word ending in s, as "Mr. Jones' cow." I sometimes see words ending in s changed to the possessive by the addition of an apostrophe and another s, as "Mr. Jones's cow," and have seen such as this even in the Literary Digest. Was I taught improperly; lias there been a change, op am I still ripht ?? A.T.W. A. ? There is a proverb that says a rule is kept in the'-' breaking. The answer to your question illustrates the proverb. We are all taught as you were, I believe; but are told forthwith that if the word following the possessive ending in s' does not itself begin with s, we may form the possessive ss. The explanation, I feel, lies in the fact that we have a strong tendency to regularize. The regular1 possessive is 's. It is not only easy, but pleasing, to say Mr. Jones's cow. It is not objectionable, as long as we are speaking, to say even Mr. Jone's >.?n.- Mut the three s's in pjoti ; : <? i?'.? many ; and SO w? 1 he |ine. ftj? best solution i? to accede.to the dictum of usagi . that in the best of society, jinguUiuiidly Tpoaktnfi:. the one is done nnl the other is not, - 1. 1). Q;? Please give illustrations of tho , .i ; h.' Word "might," pa i ? as related to or as it in contradis. tinction to "may." "May," I under, stand, concerns permission. i),H^ "might" involve doubt, or indt- finite ness, only? For example, "i might come" signifies doubt, Is that Col lect as an answer t? the question: Win you come?" or should the atiswet be "I may come." A.? The beat way to answer your /juestion is to hunt up the sadly neglected old fashioned grammar, Latin if you please, and study th> whole question of conditional clauses and the subjunctive mode. In modern parlance the safest answer is two fold. Jn the first place, may and might* are different tense forma of the same auxiliary verb. If, there fore, the statement is as simpjfe as the examples you give, may1 is the correct form for the present and future, might for the past: eg., [ may come, I might have come. On the other hand, if there is a depend ent clause, the doubt or uncertainty involved in the thought is the determ ining factor. "If I can arrange my schedule, I may come/', suggests there is a possibility of arrangement. "If I could" arrange my schedule, I might come/' implies not only, that the arrangement qpnnot be made, but that there would still be uncertainty if it could. ? I.D. Daniel B. Stroman, prominent Or angeburg county farmer, camo to Sunnyside cemetery, Orangeburg, about 11 o'clock Sunday morning to take his life. Placing a single barrel* shotgun with the butt on the ground and the end of the barrel over his heart, with a special stick he pressed the trigger, giving himself a mortal wound. There were no eyewitnesses but two persons saw Mr. Stroman when he drovtf into the cemetery. The report of a gun was heard. A very short while thereafter a visitor to the cemetery found the body. Mr. "Stro man was a leading citizen of the Four Holes section of Orangebulg county | and we^l known in this city. He was a man of means and filled the place of a good and progressive citizen. How ever, he has suffered failing health lor some time and despondenccy is given as the reason for his act. Mr. Stroman drove from his fiome about six miles from Orangeburg, going direct to the cemetery, stopping his car near a large oak tree and there taking his life. | Why Hudson and Essex Outsell All Rivals Learn for your nun advantage why Hudson and Kssex outsell all rivals.
