ROYAL RECEPTION
And Royal Good Time at the Royal
Country Home


When Mrs. Adelia Royal sent out invi-
tations to the Woman's Relief Corps and
Wadsworth Post. G. A. R.. to meet with
her for an all-day session every member
Immediately made up their minds that
here was one affair they certainly would
not miss, for be it known to all that Mrs.
Royal and her sons have the reputation
of being just what their name implies
Royal-entertainers.
The meeting was held at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Royal, and the
younger hostess. it was agreed, is a fit
ting mate for her Royal husband.
Early Wednesday morning Frank and
Herb Royal. Joe Effner and Donald Hale,
were at G. A. R. headquarters with
automobiles. to convey the guests to the
meeting place. Many went out in their
own carriages and autos, and it surely
looked as though something was stir
ring" in one country home when all had
assembled. although as many more could
have been accommodated in that COM
modous home.
We had the best of reasons to expect a
good dinner, but the repast was banquet
served on the most generous lines. and
prepared as only the prosperous farmers
wives. who have free access to fooks,
gardens and cellars. know how.
In the afternoon the w. r. c. held a
meeting while the men talked farming
and politics. then all prepared to return
to town. but were stopped by the host
esses to partake Of Ice cream and cake.
Mrs. Frank Royal was assisted in serv-
ing by Mesdames Lowe and Schultz ano
Misses Minnie and Mabel Norton and
Edith Boley.
A happy coincidence was that exactly
ten years ago Mrs. Royal entertained the
W. r. c.. at which time they wrote their
names for the hostess, and many of the
same ladies were at this meeting. but
some have gone to their last resting
place, so the memories Of the meeting OF
ten years ago were both pathetic and
pleasing.
The trip back to town was made with
out untoward incident, and the guests one
and all felt that this was one Of the red
letter days of their lives. and hope the
Royal family will invite them out again
on May 81, 1928.
The muster roll on this occasion was
signed by Messrs and Mesdames j. w

Beware Sh } TT Measure

All persons selling berries whether
in small or large quantities, and
household purchasers of berries
should bear lin mind that the dry
quart contains 67 Is cubic inches
and liquid quart 81 3-4 cubic in
ches, therefore, the sale of berries
by liquid quart is short selling TWEEN
ty per cent and renders the. seller
liable to fine. If liquid measure is
used for convenience, the extra
amount should be measured out tc
equal the dry measure. The simpler
and safer way is to use the dry meas.
ure, or a berry basket of standard
dry measure capacity dimensions
The latter are so common that there
is no excuse for short selling. Any
assistance or information will be
gladly rendered upon request.

Popular Talks on Law
THE MILITIA AND THE LAW.
By Walter K. Towers A B., I'D. Of the Michigan Bar

but now some of the states are pro-
viding structures at state expense,
notably New York, which is building
up an unusually strong and effective
National Guard.
But, under the new law, the Nation
al government has assumed a part of
the burden and has in consequence
secured some voice in the manage
ment and control of the state militia.
Under the federal law the govern
ment distributes the statesS2, 900, 900
for the militia sand defrays various
expenses in addition. States which
accept this aid must accept certain
requirements and submit to the con-
troll of the War Department. Prac-
tically all of the states have accept
ed federal aid and federal control,
South Carolina apparently remain
leg as an exception. The militia of
a state which does not accept the
provisions of the Federal law is not
organized"
The Federal Government pre-
scribes the system of drill, which
must conform to that of the regular
U. S. troops. At least five consecu-
tive days in each year must be devo.-
ed to encampment. Funds are dis
tributed among the states depending
on the number of organized troops
which the state has. The national
government supplies arms, ammuni-
ton, belts. ETC. Regular officers are
detailed to instruct and assist the
state troops. Thus the organized
state troops are becoming in equip
ment and training uniform with the
regular army, and in effect part
thereof.
The president of the U. S. may
call out the organized militia "to ex-
ecute the laws of the Uuion, suppress
insurection, and repel INVASION" as
the Constitution provides. Further
he is the exclusive judge as tc
whether the conditi ons require that
the militia be called into the service
of the u. S. When called iuto the
U. S., the President is commander
in-chief of the militia and Congress
has control of the snate soldiers.
| At times when the militia is not
within the service of the U. S., the
state authorities are in control. The
governor is generally commander-in-
chief. Usually the power of calling
out the militia to suppress disorders
and enforce the law within the state
rests with the governor though in
a few states other officers have this
authority.
The sofficering of the militia is
within the control of the state gov
erhment. Usually the members of
the company elect the company offic.
ers, the line officers elect the field
officers, and the field officers elect
the general officers. After being
elected they are usually examined
and, if competent, are then commits
stoned under state authority.
Anyone who is liable to militar.
service may enroll in the militia
The enlistment of minors under Is
is apparently void. The enlistment
of young men over Is but under 2
is binding as against them, but m a!
be avoided at the instance of thei
parents.
