Millennium Via Trapshooting
After War, Says Tom Marshall

Does trapshooting improve dispo-
sitions? Without a moments hesi-
| tation l answer in the affirmative.
| Unquestionably the sport alluring is
a great temper adjuster and cooler.
The effects of trapshooting are far
reaching and varied with men and
women who participate. The first
| requisite for successful shooting
ability is self-control under trying
conditions. To curb tendency to-
ward nervousness or petulancy, both
are disastrous to success and must
never be permitted to invade or en-
ter into the shooting game as a fac
| tor. A persons disposition, where
there is @ predisposition to angry
| paroxysms, may be controlled by
concentrated mental effort.
Many phases of the shooting game
work contrary to the wishes, desires
or success of the contestants and are
! liable to agitate a peevish disposi-
| ton, which, If encouraged, will be-
come a fixed habit and spell con-
tinuous defeat.
For example, to continuously draw
an acute left angle target, when you
| are shooting from number one po-
sition or an abrupt right angle,
| when you are at number five peg,
|
this If not Immediately controlled,
will have the effect of multiplying
your good computing Judgment and
powers of execution. which you must
bring into juXtaposition before sue
cess will perch upon your banner.
! The class of people who are con-
tinuously successful, carrying a de-
cided advantage. are the apparent
stoics in the shooting arena, men
| like Crosby and Heer. Based upon
external appearances, you are un-
able to guess whether those men
have just finished a century score
without a miss or have just passed
through a bad half hour" They
\ specialize on nerves and disposition
control and have succeeded to the
limit.
All trap devotees appreciate the
necessity for pulling themselves to-
gether on short notice. hence prac-
| tice the art in everyday life, having
their disposition or temper we'll in
hand at all times. Trapshooting un-
questionably improves permanently
an erratic disposition.
Another phase of life enters into

Camp Dix. N. j., Sept. 7.-Pending

Officers stated that the men must

Meanwhile the 500 are being de-

WITHPERSHING WHEN HE
BEGAN MILITARY RISE
Les L0wder, Of This City, Fought In
der Head of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces
Abroad
WAS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Was With Him in Battle Which
Started His Military Career to
the Greatest Post Possible

One of the few men in Missouri who
fought with General John ]. Pershing
before the head of the American ex-
peditionary forces abroad achieved
fame as a soldier is Les Lowder, of
this city. He is thought to be the
only man in this State who fought
with Pershing in the battle which be-
gan his rise to military fame.
4 am not surprised at the splendid
reports coming from France regard
ing the remarkable showing of Gen.
John J. Pershing Of the u. S. Expe-
dictionary Forces overseas"
1t was Les Lowder, proprietor of
the Alamo Hotel Barber Shop, speak
ing. Mr.. Lowder for sixteen months
was under the command Of General
Pershing in 1902 and 1908 at the time
when General Pershing was only Cap
tain Pershing, and when his military
prowess, ability as a strategist and
remarkable bravery in the face of
danger, was first attracting the at
tention which started his rise to his
present leadership of the United
States army abroad.
Mr.. Lowder served six years in the
United States Army. When he was
in the Philippines he was in Company
M of the 9th Infantry, and General
Pershing was then Captain Pershing
of the 18th Cavalry. 1t was during
the Moro campaign in Mindanao in
the Lake Lanao District, when Gener-
al Pershing's notable achievements in
the Philippine campaign took place.
At Fit Bacolad in the face of the
most determined resistance on the
I part of the natives, Captain Pershing
led his forces, of which MI. Lowder
was a member, across a narrow neck
of unprotected land to the fort, which
was toward the center of the lake.
A line of skirmishers was thrown
out to keep the natives from the port
holes of the port, and held their fire
while the troops under Pershing
brought brush, parts of buildings and
other material to fill up a ditch fif-
teen feet wide and about that deep,
which was dug around the fort for
protection. When the ditch had been
filled, at that point, the men charg-
ed across this temporary structure
and captured it. Seventy-five Moros
were killed, and the ~disturging ele-
ment around the natives eliminated in
this district.
General Pershing was popular with
his men, though a strict disciplinari-
an" said Mr.. Lowder. I'm the cap
ture of this fort we used mountain
! guns to shell the Moros. They were
too light to do much damage with
the fort which was made of a very
sticky clay burned hard by the sun.
However, the stone protection in
front of the port was destroyed and
aided materially in its capture, al
though it was an infantry charge
with hand to hand fighting that fin
ally settled the issue.
General Pershing's rise to this i'm
portant position was rapid, and I am
surf that his showing in France on the
Western front will be the same which
characterized his splendid record in
the Philippines"
