model so shotgun in honor of the
50th anniversary of his historic
shooting feat.

lions, and feted by worldwide
nobility. He later improved his
own record by missing only $50
of 10000 thrown targets.
Just as today's youngsters
might worship a Mickey Mantle,
AID Topperwein's boyhood hero
had been Carver. When the lat
ter's record was broken by B. A.
Bartlett, who rang up a score of
63,732 hits out of 64,017 tries,
AID determined to champion his
tumbled idol. He did this so
emphatically that no one has
since bothered to top "Top."
For anyone who has any doubts
about the stamina and endurance
associated with such a record,
this is the way it is described by
an article which takes you back
to this event in the January issue
of True Magazine:
"Short of an assault on Mount
Everest it is difficult to think of
an athletic feat calling for more
physical stamina than the goal
Topperwein set for himself. The
record he was cunning for had
stood against almost continuous
The Sidney herald., 1958-05-08

This month shooters every
where will mark the fiftieth
anniversary of the greatest feat
of craftsmanship in shooting
history - a record so imposing
that no other rifleman has even
attempted to equal it.
The extraordinary feat Of pre-
cision and stamina that has de-
fled so much as a challenge was
performed on the San Antonio,
Texas, fair grounds by Adolph
Topperwein, exhibition shooter
for Winchester. AID, as he is
called, fired away with a % rifle
at wooden cubes the size of
alphabet blocks thrown into the
air by a team of strong-armed
youths. Over a ten-day period, he
shot at a total of 1880 of the
tiny, flying blocks - and missed
. total of only nine times.
Today, with results of shooting
matches hidden in obscure speci-
allied publications and Olympic
shooting hardly noticed, it may
seem strange that anyone should
attempt such a record. But in the
"fast draw days, when Buffalo
Bill and Annie Oakley were still
touring the country and drawing
crowds by the thousands, a great
national interest existed in
marksmen and they gained world
wide prestige. Significantly, in
the era of the leaden home run"
kings, Americans we're Renowned
for their craftsmanship - a
reputation long since lost.
Before the turn of the century,
Adam H. Bogardus, an Illinois
market hunter, set a record with
a shotgun by breaking 5000 glass
balls thrown into the air in 480
minutes and 45 seconds - an
accomplishment of no small note
even in a nation of shooters.
Shortly after, this record was
eclipsed when William Frank
Carver smashed $500 balls IN
420 minutes - using a rifleI

brv and was presented with

Disability Benefits

June 80, 1858 is a very i'm
portant date for many disabled
people, Glenn A. Gardner, dis
trict manager of the Billings So
cia security office said today.
Many people who are disabled
have neglected to apply under
the social security disability pro-
visions Gardner said. Workers,
both men and women, who have
been disabled for ver a year
have until June 80, 1853 to file
application for the disability
freeze or for disability benefits
if they are so or older. Those
who have been disabled for a
prolonged period and wait until
after June 30th may forfeit their
rights to disability benefits at
age so, to maximum old-age ben
efits and to benefits for their
survivors.
Gardner pointed out that there
is no deadline for those who file
within a year from the time they
become disabled. The June 80,
1858 deadline applies only to
those who have been disabled
for a prolonged period.

assault by the finest shooters in
the world. To break it he would
have to shoot continuously for at
least a full week from dawn
till dusk.
"His second. miss came we'll
into the third day, after an al
most incredible run of 1850 hits.
By the fifth day, however, the
strain was beginning to tell. His
eyes were red and sunken and
there was a stubble of dark beard
on his face. At night after the
seventh day he was so fatigued
and lame that Plinky (his wife)
had to undress him. He was I'M
able to lower his arms below the
waist and his shoulders were
swollen. When he flexed his arms,
a painful cramp knotted the
biceps of his right arm. A barber
shaved him while he slept. Free
quently that night he cried out in
his sleep, rs those elusive night
mare blocks that no man can hit

"On the eighth day, to a cheer
ing gallery, he passed Bartlett's
record. Still he refused to stop.
At the end of the ninth day he
realized that he had driven him.
self to the utmost. They almost
had to carry him to the firing line
on the final day. He had become a
crude caricature of his former
self, a red-eyed, hollow-faced
scarecrow of a man. Finally, late
in the afternoon he took the last
cartridge from the last carton
and stuffed it into the loading
port. The final block arced =

ments that now stood taller than

Friends dashed forward to
catch Topperwein as he started to
collapse. What was the final
scorer he asked weakly. The
damndest score ever made by
anyone, Top, they told him. Out

Sanitation
Problems
BY Albert o. DUDE

Last week I was fortunate to
attend the annual Sa~nftarian's
Training Conference at Helena.
Most of the Montana sanitarians
were present for the conference
which made it very interesting
and challenging.
Among the subjects discussed
we're mainly Individual and
Semi-Public Sewage Disposal
Systems,~ New Vending Ma

Motel Sanitation" 'Insect Con-
troll" and "Enviromental SAM

Don Willems, Public Health En-
gineer, George Roemild, Assis-
tant Entomologist, Montana State
College, Thomas Mahan, Attor-
ney at Law, and Mr.. Elton An
drew of the National Brewers
Foundation. Also heard was MIR
Donald R. Schulke of the Hobart

Under trailer court sanitation
il was born that under the term:

sometimes it is already too late.
MIR. Roemild stated that it wa.
quite important in mosquito con-
troll to eliminate all breeding
places first before any foggint
programs are initiated, to which
any writer surely agree.
During the discussion on loca

10000 Acres of
Safflower Seeded
In This Area

Approximately 10000 acres OF
safflower have been seeded in
eastern Montana and western
North Dakota, according to Han
mes A. Halgrimson, field agent,
Prior to April rs 5000 acres was
seeded with the bulk of the SAT-
flower to be seeded between
April rs and May 10. Delbert
Nichols of Frazer, Montana, was
one of the first to plant and has
a field near Oswego that has been
out of the ground for more than
two weeks. This field was seed
ed around April /. The cold
weather the past two weeks has
slowed the growth of safflower,
as well as other crops.
The general conditions through
out the area are quite favorable
this spring. Moisture in summer
fallow is normal to above nor
NAL in most areas with a few
local rea not SO fortunate. Gen
eral field work is moderately
early this spring. The warm
weather three weeks ago stimu-
lated weed termination and
growth, making it possible to get
a good kill before seeding, which
is especially important for SAT-
flower.
Seeding safflower between
April rs and May 10 has some
advantages over earlier seeding
for the following reasons:
(1) Better weed control.
(2) The weather is usually
more favorable for faster ger
mination and growth.
Saff1ower yield is not reduced
by later planting because it is
not effected by the heat in July
and August. This is of interest,
especially, if you have to delay
seeding for weed control. Seed
ing after May IS north of the
Missouri, and after May 20,
south of the river is hazardous.
Contracts will be negotiated
until near the end of the plant
ing season. Farmers desiring a
contract should contact: Hannes

Building, Culbertson, Montana,
