CIRCULAR
January 20, 1911
Much misunderstanding seems to pre-
vail as to the care and responsibility for
Government Property in the hands of
both officers and men of the National
Guard.
A certain amount of l%eniency has
been extended officers under bond for
property and it is feared that this has
prompted an undue amount of careless
ness on their part. This will change.
Under the provisions of G. .. No. /,
A. G. o., c. s, all property must be
kept in the Armory. For the officers
own protection, this order should be
rigidly adhered to.
Accountability for property extends
to every article issued, however small,
and does not cease in case Of being
worn out until returned or acted on by
survey.
1t is the duty of every officer to take
nm anv Government Property wherever
found in unauthorized hands and he
should prosecute in the civil courts any
nerson wearing Government clothing
without authority, or in the case OF
members of the Guard Whenn not on duty.
Recently in the City court, at jackson,
a man was convicted of selling Govern
ment blankets and was sentenced to
$3.50 and 80 days in jail.

hours less than the running time of

Rodgers, who came here from Pasa-

ceptlon. 1T goes to show that the
flying machine is no longer to be
looked upon simply as a plaything, an
amusement affair for county fairs and
aviation meets 1t is a commercial
potentially that must be reckoned
with along with other means of rapid
transportation"
Last Day Full of Thrills.

thousands of persons who gathered
along the route, in this city and at
his terminal point

engine to make any Roadway.
He had covered only eight miles
when his engine began missing and he
was compelled to descend
A big crowd at Beaumont witnessed
his first descent and surged about the
field during the hour it required to
put the machine in order. From
there it was straight sailing. The
wind had died down sufficiently not
to interfere with the working of the
engine and the birdman bowled along
