Announcement to this effect was sent out by the chair man of the executive committee, General Edward C. Young. from the Chicago headquarters of the National Guard Association on July goth. This meeting of the National Guard Association will be a very important one, in- as much as further plans for the passing of the Pay bill now in congress will be thoroughly discussed and decided upon.
 The National Guard Association is the civil organization of so many of the members of the National Guard in the several states as desire to join. There are organizations in various states, including Arizona. and d ma tional organization. Capt. Earl Hill. of Co. C. Phoenix, is president Of the association.
 Various happenings have of late done much to cause a friendly inter est on the part of all classes of tho people in other parts of the country in Arizona. and this interest is not confined to civil affairs.
