THE NATIONAL GUARD.


There seems to be prevalent idea
throughout the state that there Is a neces-
sity Of the reorganization of the Nation
al Guard. This is mistake. The reor-
ganization which took place in 1923 was
intended to be permanent. The present
administration has endeavored to
strengthen and perpetuate the organiza-
ton as then established and thus in
crease public confidence and state pride
In the active militia. An organization
of this kind, that can maze for itself a
history to be added to from year to year
by succeeding members, will be q source
of strength to the state and nation, and
q body of which a ii may be proud.
When the organizations and mem bers
of our National Guard volunteered for
service for the war with Spain, leaves of
absence were granted to the officers and
furloughs to the NEE, extending for q
period of thirty days after their muster
out; these leaves and Burroughs were
again extended to the first of May to
cover the period of absence of some of
the organizations. At the expiration of
these absences the officers and men report
fer duty, and the guard excepting for
Its lack of uniforms and equipments,
which are now being provided for, should
at once be ready for duty Arms and
equipments for which acquisitions were
made long ago are expected sooD: the uni
forms and other supplies are under con-
tract and by the time the ranks OF the
companies are Tiled all property should
be ready for issue.

Obituary,

The death of Mrs. G. L. Allen,
mother of J. V. Allen, occurred at the
home of her son in this city just as we
were going to press last Wednesday, so
that we were able only to mention it
at that time.
She was born at dillingham;, N. Y,
in 1920, aud in 1s47 was united in
marriage to G. l.. Allen, of Deans
vile, N. Y. They moved to Wisconsin
three years later, where they lived
until 1868, when they removed to
Postville, Iowa. Mr.. Allen died in
1891 and two years later she came to
DEBORAH to live with her son. About
two years ago she sustained stroke of
paralysis, from which she slowly
recovered, but was stricken again
three months ago, ond ever since has
been confined to her bed. On the
Saturday before her death third
stroke came upon her, and she grad
ually failed until the end came. The
funeral services were held from the
home of her son last Thursday after
noon, Rev. NJ. Willett officiating, and
the remains were laid beside those of
her husband at Postville on Friday.

had For the Mice.

All houses are more or less overrun
with mice, and as the tiny creatures
are capable Of doing great deal of
mischief it Is only natural that the
careful housewife should try to get
rid Of them. A very simple and Elm
genious plan consists of standing a
small tub of water on chair almost
on a level with the pantry or cup
board shelf the mice most frequent
and then sprinkling the water thickly
with oats. The oats doat on the wa
ter and impart such an appearance Of
solidity to the surface that the unsus-
pecting mice, having a liking for oats.
venture upon It at once and Of course
are drowned. Life.
