$4,000 EACH YEAR IS APPORT|0NED

Ithaca, N. Y, March 1s.-Dean Lib

Of Agriculture has appointed in his
capacity as president of the associa-

Carroll B. Wright, president of Clark
college.
H. P. Armsby, director of the Penn

construction or purchase of armories
or the paying of debts or mortgages
after approval by the board of armory
supervisors shall be paid out of said
account upon the warrant of the state
auditor. If company, battery or
band shall be disbanded or mustered
out Of service the armory board is
empowered to transfer the armory
building to the municipality upon the
repayment of the appropriation pro-
vided for by the act, without interest.
In the case of company, battery or
band which shall own any site with
armory building thereon of the value
of 100000 the company, with the ap-
proval of the armory board shall OBJ
tain the benefits of the appropriation
by executing to the state a mortgage
on the property for $4,000 payable on
demand, and during the life of said
mortgage said building and site shall
be under the control and supervision
Of the company, band or battery. Thus
in the case of Fargo, where the pro-
posed armory and site will be OF a
value exceeding $4,000, all it will
need do is to execute mortgage
for $4,000 without interest and it will
be paid the amount of the appropria-
ton, $4,000; in other words, it is
merely a bond to secure the state if
Company B should disband and desire
to transfer the property at any time.
The armory board is to approve all
plans and specifications for tho erec-
ton OF all armories and audit and
approve all bills, claims and accounts
in connection with tho construction
before such are paid. In addition to
the use as an armory the building may
be used for other purposes, but the
building must be under the SUPER
vision and control of a regularly Or
ganized and active company OF the
militia. The appropriation may be
used for paying deficiency or debts on
armories already constructed when
the provisions of the act have been
complied with and upon application
to the armory board. Companies ex-
hibiting good faith and showing the
proper degree of efficiency will have
no difficulty in securing the appropria-
ton.

SOME FEA1URES0F THE new ARM0RY BILL

Some misunderstanding seems to ex-
list among the members of the national
guard as to exact scope of the armory
law which was passed by the recent
legislature. The law is broad enough
to cover every possible contingency
and will in time result in the several
companies of the guard having ele-
CANT armories for quarters. The first
sum appropriated is $4,000 to be d.
vided equally between three companies
which see fit to take advantage of the
provisions of the law, and it will be
payable January, 1908, and $4,000 an
nually will be available for five years
thereafter.
The company proposing to build an
armory must raise for itself $4,000 and
furnish a site free. of circumference.
In the case of the armory which has
been erected at Valley City, the COM
pany there can avail itself of the pro-
visions Of the law and be reimbursed
to the amount of $4,000, its share of
the appropriation, and it may be one
of the beneficiaries of the law If it
takes proper action this year.
The governor, adjutant general and
colonel of the regiment constitute the
board of armory supervisors. The law
is applicable to every company, bat
terry or band of the North Dakota
national guard. Only one appropria-
ton may be made in any one town or
city, and no more than thirteen state
military organizations shall receive
the benefits Of this act. After the first
year only two organizations shall re-
ceive appropriations of $4,000 each
annually, until each of the thirteen
companies have been provided with
armories. The board of armory sup
ervisors shall determine which COM
panies shall receive the aid in any
one year, and there shall be taken
into consideration the proficiency of
the company asking the aid under the
act, and its needs. The proposed ar
mory to be built shall not be of
value less than $1,000. The state
treasurer shall keep a separate &C.
count with each company, crediting
the same with the $4,000 paid in as
evidence of good faith together with
the appropriation and all bills for the

LEMON CLUB, new ORDER IN GRAND FORKS

Tender recollections of the "Inde-
pendent Order of Buftaloes" are re-
called to mind through the introduce
ton of new order which has been
sprung on the unsuspecting public in
Grand Forks.
It is called the Lemon club, and is
spreading with rapidity equal to the
amazing rabbit pest in far-off Austria
lia.
Only duly initiated members have
the right to hand out the lemons. The
process is simple. The member Sc
cures a lemon, and. approaching a
friend, asks him If he has any money.
If he bites and hands over a sum any,
where from Is cents to IS, the men,
Der gleefully hands him the lemon and
the horse laugh" saying, "By the au-
thority vested in me by the Grand
Chief Squeeze of the Amalgamatei
Lemon club l hereby declare you a
member of said order, and as High
Sour Lemon give you permission to
go out and spread the secret of our
glorious order"
The order is said to have started in
Minneapolis, and the Grand Chief
Squeeze is located there. He is dodg-
ing the limelight these days, however,
and is keeping we'll under cover. New
ly initiated members do not warm up
to the order as they should, and some
have been known to call for the police.
A drummer brought the order to
Grand Forks yesterday, and was
spreading it around the Hotel Daco-
tab. He was one of the most disliked
men in Grand Forks before midnight,
by which time he had disposed of
