end lays foundation for agricultural
and industrial ducation in child

MAY ADOPT NEW MILITARY CODE.
important Meeting Of National euara
Association Will BE Held In January.

Important Meeting Of National Guara
Association Will Be Held In January.
Though no formal call has been Is
sued by President Henry of Valley
City for the next meeting of the
North Dakota National Guard asso'
citation, it is generally understood
among militia men that it will be held
at Mandan on Jan. and 6.
This will without doubt be by fal
the most important meeting of the
association that has been held during
its organization. During the past year
the North Dakota militia has been ex-
ceptionally fortunate in securing up
to-date equipment and the benefit OF
the trip to American Lake, Wash, so
that interest in the guard is at Its
highest.
The most important subject which
is to be discussed at the meeting is
the adoption of the new military code
on which q special committee appoint;
ed at the last meeting at Mtnot, has
been working for several months:
This will be gone over in detail, and
when adopted will be presented to the
legislature for their approval. The de-
tails Of the roposed changes have not
been made known as yet, but will be
before the meeting.
An effort Is being made by the as.
ISOLATION to have the railroad fare Of
all delegates paid out of the state
militia fund and not taken from the
company fund, as heretofore. This in.
sures a much larger attendance and
makes the competition at the election
Of delegates much stronger.
Other subjects that will be brought
up for discussion are the reports Of
the various officers, movement to
secure the immediate use Of the
money for erection of armories which
has been dealt out at the rate of two
towns per year, facilities to get the
proper indoor target pratice, SO that
North Dakota may take its proper
place in the rank of sharp shooters.
and the setting aside of fund to be
used by the company commanders for
current expenses. In the past all
money that has been expended for the
many items of expense that arise in
every company have been raised by
entertainments given by the members
of the organization. Under the new
Dick bill, which has been passed ia.
voring the state militia, the companies
will have to all have armories and be
properly equipped with the latest uni.
forms and arms. The greater art Of
the equipment has already been is.
sued, but there is still an immense
amount of work to be done before the
guard is qualified under the new law.

WOKE UP IN TIME TO SAVE LIFE.

Coal Gas Escaped and st. Thomas, N.
D., Man Had very Marrow Escape.
Robert Richie of st. Thomas had
a decidedly disagreeable experience
with coal gas. He was awakened
about 3 o'clock in the morning by
cramp or stitch in his shoulder and
found himself dizzy and deathly sick.
After considerable difficulty he got to
the window and opened it. He re.
ceived some relief from this, but was
under the weather all week. A badly
clogged stove pipe at the chimney
caused the gas to escape, and IL Mr..
Richie had not been lying in such an
uncomfortable position that he was
awakened. there is little doubt but
that he would have been suffocated.
Bob is shaking hands with himself on
the narrow escape.
