member of the National Guard. He
hoped to not only see a well drilled
National Guard, but a people educa ted
up to the needs of the guard. Company
III looked pretty good to him, but it
would look better in spendidly
equipped armory. He believed the great
and rich state of Minnesota should
build armories for its soldiers. l 3"
Colonel c. L. johnson of the Third
Infantry told the story of how he had
served in the National Guard twenty
five years. He was proud of the gold
medal which the state had presented
to him for that service He felt well
repaid for ell that he had done for
the upbuilding of the guard. The
colonel related how he assisted i'm the
organization of the military company
at Zumbrota. He enlisted as private,
was promoted to sergency, and within
Il few months was made captain of
the company. At that time the soldier
boys were compelled to buy their own
uniforms and equipment. Today the
Zumbrota company has more money
i'll its treasury than any other COM
pany i'll the state guard. They own
a lot upon which an armory will be
built some day. Colonel johnson had
faith i'll the efficiency of the militia,
and should "a clash occur with tie
enemy, the guard would respond To-
the call to duty. He was sure that
every member of Company H would
be first to respond to the call to arms.

and expressed his willingness to give
them such assistance as was within
his power.
