5. CLUB N. |, A,
 |S ORGANIZED
New Institution Designed to Add Interest to National Guard Affairs; Individual and Squad Drills and Shooting Contest

The members of B company of the Arizona National Guard, held a meet Ing last night in the companv's ar mory or headquarters, corner of Fifth avenue and Adams street, and organ ized the "B club of the N. G. A" The president is Captain Hill. the first Vlce- president is Sgt. Hanson and the second vice president is Lieut.. La TOurette.
 An incident of the company meet ing was the election and enlistment of Private Shell Doggett, who has the honor of being the first man in the state to enlist under the new militia code
 The purposes of the new club are largely social but the primary motive is to inspire interest in the national guard which it is believed can be done in many ways In the past there has been little inducement to young men to join. It has been a case of giving their time and service in drill ing for no compensating return except the fun of it, if it chanced to ap- peal to the members. It is believed now that under new regulations of the war department there will be a slight remuneration available to each soldier, enough to possibly defray the incidental expenses of membership Moreover, the local companies feel that they are in great need of good armory. something that will be more than place to stack their guns. They propose to plan to that end hoping eventually to secure good armory building, that may be provided also
