If there is a man whose middle name is Gun, 
and who was not at the G. A. H. shoot, Chicago,’ 
he must be detained in a home for indigent 
males or convalescent lunatics. Why? Because 
every real shooter of the scatter gun was among 
those present. No one wore wrist watches nor 
did anyone have a handkerchief concealed up 
his sleeve but powder—yes everyone used it—not 
tooth, face nor bug but GUN. What powder will 
best be found in the advertising pages, what 
that powder did is here chronicled. Who knows 
anything about shoots, Interstate shoots, knows 
that the Shaners—Elmer and son Reed—were the 
pullers, that is the brain end pullers. What 
shoot worth a whoop could be done to 
a turn without Elmer E. Shaner. God bless 
him. Since the days when glass balls smear¬ 
ed the ambient atmosphere spread by num¬ 
ber eight shot Elmer has been the cause of it 
all. Barnie Waters and Elmer, who ever knew 
such a combination—and since the days of 
amey, Elmer has gone it alone—excepting for 
the moral and financial support of the Interstate 
Association. Great, this has been but that is not 1 
all. Barnie has passed to the great beyond but 
his spirit long will linger with the Grand Ameri¬ 
can Handicap and with Elmer. Records—there 
is one each ensuing year, and this year was one 
more. Over a thousand clean, clear minded 
sportsmen toed the score at the Grand American 
held this year over Lake Michigan. Such a body 
of men one would go far to find-and then miss 
them. From all over God’s country, outside the 
war zone, came these aerosaucer smashers, and if 
war came to this country, unWilsonized, what a 
corps of aeroplane and Zeppelin killers these chaps 
would be. They could not fly too fast for these 
boys to put the kybosh on ’em. Long live Major 
General Elmer E. Shaner and may E. Reed grow 
into his foot prints. 
Winners will be winners, like the north wind 
tomorrow may be the south wind today but to 
be a good south wind the same old north wind 
must have been a consistent performer elsewhere
