'TRAPSHOOTERs ARE
IN ST. LOUIS TODAY

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug21.-The In
terstate Trapshooting associations
seventeenth grand American handicap
tournament is to be held at st. Louis
under the auspices of the st. Louis
1rapshooters' association, August 81 to
rs.
The entries in the main events clos
eG Aug. 5th. At that time SCI en-
tries were listed, and those arriving
from the far western states have since
swelled the total to more than six
hundred.
In addition to this, the usual large
number of penalty entries have been
received. 1t is expected almost 700
shooters will take part in the con-
tests. The attendance promises to
eclipse that at Dayton, O., in 1918 and
1914, and will be near the mark set at
the record breaker at Chicago last
year.
St. Louis is prepared to handle the
tournament. The park of the st. Louis
Trapshooters' association is consider
eG among the best in the country. The
grounds are fitted with permanent
buildings and all modern equipment.
James w. Bell, president of the st.
Louis association, conducted three
Grand American Handicap tourna-
ments at Indianapolis, Ind, in 1904-05-
06, and sportsmen feel confident he
will bring the meet to a successful
close in st. Louis.
In addition to the handicap event.
State champions will be here to COM
pete in the national championship For
the first time in the history of the
event, women will be eligible to take
part in the special and handicap
matches. This appears to have added
considerable interest and enthusiasm.
Other events will include the St.
Louis introductory, Mound City Over
ture, Preliminary Handicap, Consola-
ton Handicap, Double Target Cham
pionship and a special match for pro-
fessionals.

LARGE LIQUOR RAID
MADE BY OFFICIALS

One hundred and eighteen quarts Of
liquor were seized early Sunday morn
ing by Sheriff's Harvey and Christian,
Of Webster county, at the Flint river
bridge in Dougherty county, near AL
bany. 1t was being brought in an auto
mobile from Florida by J. R. ]. Drew,
prominent Webster county man, and
Z. V. Perry, an automobile livery man
from Richland.
The officers had gained information
OF the liquor expedition, and they
formed their plans to confscate the
large stock of Cream of Kentucky
whiskey.
The prisoners were lodged in the
pougherty county Jail, and the booze
turned over to the officials. Drew is
said to have been connected with sew
eral liquor cases in Webster county.

COLUMBUS VETERANS TO
ATTEND THE REUNION

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun has the
following to say about the Muscogee
county veterans coming to the reunion: :
AT a meeting of the Confederate vet
Grams of Columbus held at the court
house yesterday afternoon about 4:3O
O'clock, five delegates were appointed
by Commander w. S. Shepherd to go to

Americas. They state that the Vets will
oc taken into the homes Of The people
there and rendered a royal entertain
ment.
The local party is looking forward to
very enjoyable time in the south
Georgia city, and the best reunion ever
held is expected.
The gates of the city will be opened
to the proud defenders of the south
land. and thousands from all over the
state will in all probability be present.

HOW To FIGHT
THE MOSQUITO

ISSUED by the State Board of Health /;
Written by Emory R. Park. M. d.
Mosquitoes do not hatch in any place
except in stagnant water. Therefore.
any campaign lodged against the mos
quito nuisance and peril must be di-
rected against stagnant water. A tin
can full of water can hatch enough
mosquitoes to torment neighborhood,
and ''as many as nineteen thousand
eggs and young mosquitoes have been
been found in rain barrel at one
time"
Dut to the fact that we have had so
much rain this summer, it is highly
probable that there will be an unusual
ly large number of mosquitoes pretty
soon, unless people get busy immed-
ately and rid their premises and neigh
borhoods of water that has been left
standing in bitches, cutters, cans, bar
rels, old bottles, hollow places in
trees and the like.
When pools cannot be drained.
enough kerosene or other oily sub
stances shouldd be poured upon them
to form film upon the surface. This
causes the young mosquitoes, or wrig-
gle-tails, as they are commonly called,
to suffocate, as it stops up the little
breathing tubes which the wrigglers
send UP to the surface of the water for
their air supply. By cutting off the
air the larvae are kelled.
Weeds and dense shrubbery should
be cut down and burned, as such
things often form refugees for the fully
developed insects and causes them TO
accumulate in large numbers about the
house.
Houses, including easements. should
be kept screened until well into the
winter time, otherwise some mosqui-
toes will get in the house, where they
will be kept alive through the winter.
ard upon the appearance of spring
will go forth to replenish the race.
