the play itself is story of New
England life on the Farm, the
third act takes place in China

slight deviation from the beaten
paths of rural plays. yet the
quaint atmosphere of the old
Farm Life is extremely enjoyable
throughout the first two and last
acts of the play. The village
constable, the justice OF the peace
the circus bill poster and the hir-

against the person who invented
work, all combined to keep the
audience in good humor be-
tween tear drops and hear

NATIONAL GUARD TO
HAVE NEW ARMORY
Rejoicing Among Local MiIitiamen
When Informed That Transue
Bill Has Been
Signed

There was rejoicing in the local di-
vision of the National Guard last
night when news that Governor Gillett
had attached his signature to the
Transue bill, appropriating 100000 for
the erection of an armory building in
Los Angeles, was received here.
For more than year General Wan
kowski has toiled to arouse public sem
timent in favor of an armory building
for the housing of the militia. Owing
to the fact that the lease on the build
ing at Eighth and Spring streets had
expired nearly two years ago the mill
tia has been in constant peril of be-
ing turned out into the street. 1t was
only through the courtesy of the owner
of the bullulng, which had been occu-
pied by the National Guard for eleven
years. that the men were allowed to
remain until suitable quarters could
be secured. The Eighth street build
ing was found inadequate for armory
purposes several years ago, but the
tack of any other hall made it i'm
peratiVe that the militia remain where
it was. When the lease on the old
building expired the owner had several
prospective purchasers for the lease
of the structure, but Informed General
Wankowski that the militia could re-
main until new quarters were secured.
After a year had passed without the
government coming to the aid of the
local division of the National Guard,
the owner of the building informed the
general that he intended taking over
the building in the immediate future.
Had the legislature failed to pass
the Transue bill or the governor re-
fused to sign it the militia of this
city, which has reached a high state
of perfection, would have been turned
out into the street.
