TRAP-SHOOTING AT MODERATE COST 
has been enjoyed by users of PETERS SHELLS for a number of years. It was the Peters Cartridge Co. which led the way by putting on 
the market the improved “Target” and “High Gun” Shells, made with steel reinforcing in the head and rim —“steel where steel belongs.” 
These loads afford the shooter, at low cost, all the advantages of high priced goods of other makes, and then seme. In addition to “steel 
where steel belongs” they have outside brass of increased height; contain the same selected materials as Peters higher-priced shells, the “Ideal” and 
“Premier”; are made with the same extreme care, on the same special machinery and by the same ammunition experts. It is therefore not 
surprising that the “Target” (bulk smokeless) and “High Gun” (dense smokeless) are superior in quality and produce superior results. 
Attention is called toj[the following recent

Western Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s eighth Western Handi¬ 
cap tournament will be held at Omaha, Neb, Aug. 5-7, 
under the auspices of the Omaha Gun Club. 
When the shooters reach Omaha, Aug. 5 for the 
opening day of the Western Handicap, they will find a 
city which has demonstrated its ability to take care of 
itself and to rally without outside assistance from a 
great catastrophe. In spite of the great tornado, which 
devastated a considerable portion of the city of Omaha, 
Easter Sunday, 1913, causing a death list of 130, and 
property loss of $5,000,000. the Nebraska metropolis is 
enjoying one of its most prosperous years. Recovering 
rapidly from the first shock, the city set about to re¬ 
construct the destroyed district, and the shooters will 
find in the patch of the tornado a thousand new homes 
which replace those wrecked by the storm. 
Omaha is the largest of a cluster of three cities— 
Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs—which together 
embrace a total population of a quarter of a million. 
Omaha is the metropolis of Nebraska, and the center 
of one of the greatest agricultural and stock-raising 
sections of the world. The city is a center of the west¬ 
ern jobbing trade, and boasts a large number of flour¬ 
ishing wholesale establishments. The implement district 
is the largest of any city west of Chicago and east of the 
mountains, and is constantly increasing. South Omaha 
has some of the largest packing establishments of the 
country, and the Omaha brewers are famous for their 
products all over the country. 
Omaha is the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific 
Railroad, and a point of central transfer for nine trunk 
lines. No city of the West, with the exception of 
Chicago, has such a volume of traffic, and the passenger 
and freight facilities are unexcelled. The city is well 
supplied with amusement facilities. The three big local 
clubs, the beautiful resorts at Carter Lake and at 
Manawa on the Iowa side of the river, a profusion of 
vaudeville houses, including the beautiful new Empress 
Theater, one of the most pretentious houses of its kind 
in America, and a Western League baseball club, are 
among the attractions. The park system includes half a 
dozen public resorts, and Riverview Park, which over¬ 
looks the Missouri, and a half dozen smaller squares, 
which afford the public an easy escape from the heat 
of the summer. 
Omaha is famous for the Knights of Ak Sar Ben, 
an organization which, in conjunction with the Com¬ 
mercial Club, has become famous throughout the country. 
The Knights of Ak Sar Ben, originally organized 
twenty years ago for the promotion of an annual fall 
festival, have extended the scope of their activities until 
the very name is a synonym for hospitality. A special 
initiation ceremony is arranged every year by the Knights 
—who hold weekly and often special performances at the 
den for the purpose of initiating visitors into the joys 
of the kingdom of Quvera, and giving them a touch 
of true Nebraska hospitality.
