Long- Carver The last exhibition that Annie Oak ley ig likely to give for a civilian. audi ence for some time to come will take place at the Pinehurst Gun Club next Monday afternoon, March 11, at 2.30 o'clock. In a few weeks she starts a tour of the military cantonments for the government, shooting for the enter tainment and edification of the National Army. The performances of Buffalo Bill's Premier marksman albeit a woman is too well known to require any descrip tion of the event. When the Outlook man went to get the program for her Carolina, they constitute an Iliad un equalled in this day and generation. They form an endless story of triumphs and of diversions. While trying to get this program we learned why she. would rather shoot on the 13th than on the 11th. As usual it is also bound up with some of her innumerable trophies. As told by herself, the reason is as follows: "I know that it is a common super stition among shooters to be terrified of the number 13. But then - men who handle firearms casually are given to superstitions. Some would as soon re verse the gun as pull the trigger wear ing a striped blazer. One of the best shots in the world would never fire a cartridge that he had dropped on the ground. And it is easier to drive a trap shooting gang into a coral than to get them to make up a thirteenth squad. "But I go at these things from a pragmatic standpoint. That is to say, I believe in what Avorks. Now I was born on the 13th, and get my( innoculation to begin with. I didn't believe I did such a bad job, at that, and so decided to stay with my horoscope. ' So I joined William Cody for a three days' trial on - ,..M:M)MjhWh & MKS. BRUMBAUGH "WIFE OF THE GOVORNOK OK PENNSYLVANIA A T ANNIK OAKLKY'S SHOOTING CoNTI-ST she merely laughed. "Why," she said, "I never bother with a program any more.. It isn't worth thinking about. We no longer plan anything. When we get to the field we pull off an impromptu shoot, and run the stunts along as long as the crowd wants them, and suit the show to the audience." There is no admission for the exhi bition. But in these strenuous times it appeared that some advantage should be taken of the big gathering that al ways turns up wherever she shoots, to get some contribution to the work in hand. So Annie Oakley has consented to have the dramatic story of her life and adventures while shooting in the Wild West in every country in the World put into attractive pamphlet form to be sold on the field as a souvenir. The proceeds will go to the Farm Life School. It is a pity that the narrative of her extraordinary career cannot be presented in complete form, as told by herself at odd moments in the corridors of the the 13th. This was my first and great est trial of fortune. And it succeeded to the extent 'that I stayed 17 years. Consequently I was ready to stand by my guns when I ran up against the question of this 13 business in my match with William Graham. You may not remember. But Graham was the cham pion pigeon shot of England, and hence at that time of the world. He was in the United States challenging all comers and what is more, making away with them. It would never do for him to waltz back to Picadilly with his belt full of scalps if the Wild West Outfit had the goods they claimed. Anyway we decided that he would get a run for Viia mnnev out of the rouffh riders. So I challenged him, for fifty shots, two out of three matches. "I lost the first match, which has ljttle to do with the story. Nobody was much surprised, because he had been beating everyone in sight. But my. sup porters came in large numbers still opti mistic for the second shoot. And then For Putting Greens Inoculated Alphano is the ideal top dress ing, and a perfect all-in-one fertilizer.

Alphano Humus Co. Established 1005 17-N Battery Place, New York ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY- George Washington and our first National Army were enduring almost unbelievable suffering in Winter quar ters in Valley Forge. No money to pay the troops. Very little to feed or clothe them, and part of that coming from the French Government. Crude weapons. No organization among the people -only the patriotism of individuals and' a loose organization of separate Colonies. Yet in Woodrow Wilson's biography of Washington we can read today , the re markable fortitude and determination of the great leader and of the army whose privations he shared. On this anniversary of Washington's birth let us 'renew our obligations to work and save and serve' wherever our service will best strengthen the organ ization behind our brave men on land and sea. Personal responsibility as well as pride should be the feeling in every civilian's heart today as the splendid soldiers of our National Army march through New York. Responsibility for all our men in uniform means an obliga tion to prevent waste of time, money or food; to work harder, earn more by pro ducing more and thus have more to lend to our Government. Every man who does not do his duty, is going to be a marked man.
