this war is being financed on savings

method Of war finance in an earlier

reduce them by edict. We signa1ed
our entry into war by buying war ma

W|LL|AMS'GUN CLUB
 MEMBER 4. A. I. A.

The increasing sentiment for national organization that would unite the 5OO,OOO anna teur trapshooters in one body found expression on December 23, 1915, in the birth of the American Trapshooters' Asso- iciation.-
 The Williams Gun Club has joined with this Association and gives the following inter- esting facts about it.
 A careful study of the aims of this association makes it ap- parent that no club can afford not to affiliate. These aims may be summarized as follows:
 First To strengthen and stimulate the component club organizations by increasing at tendance and interest in the regular club shoots.
 Second To encourage a greater development of the in dividual shooter by providing a progressive incentive for regu- lar practice at the traps.
 Third-To provide opportun- ity for recognition for the shooter of average ability as we'll as for the expert.
 Fourth-to cooperate with the club secretaries by afford ing a clearing house of the in- terchange of helpful informa- tion.
 Fifth-To unite in one organ ization the 5OO.OOO trapshoot- CTS and nearly 1000 trapshoot- ing clubs.
 Sixth-To increase interest in the sport by the publication of club news and the dissemina- tion of publicity. |
 Seventh-To undertake any endeavor that may improve the conditions affecting the sport of trapshooting.
 Organization
 The American Amateur Trap shooters Association is a cor poration without capital stock. It is not operated for financial profit; private property of the members is not subject to the payment of any corporate debts whatever. The membership is limited to white, amateur trap shooters.
 The aim of the Association is to unite every trapshooter and every trapshooting club in a single powerful and mutually helpful organization. Our pur- pose is to undertake any en- deavor that is for the best in- terest of our members. To bring the members more close ly together, the Association has it's own weekly publication, The American Shooter. which publishes the scores of affiliated club shoots and the results of the A. A. T. A. contests.
 Soon after the formation of l the A. A. T. A. we inaugurated the system of medal shooting which is now in successful op- eration at over 14OO clubs. The object of the system is to in- crease the shooters proficiency and to increase the attractive ness of club shooting. Every member who makes an average i of 75 per cent or over in his club shooting is awarded a medal as official recognition of his ability. For a 75 per cent | average a bronze medal is awarded, for an 80 per cent average german silver medal, |
