events; and there are a number Of

which are these: The rifle team,
which made such q splendid record
on the mainland, will all be home be-
fore the celebration; Governor Pink.
ham Is going to leave before long for
Washington to try to aid In getting
pay for the National Guard. Three
full regiments have been formed on
the islands and the work of bringing
them to the highest efficiency has just
been gotten under way, and the
ground within the Punchbowl has
been given to the Guard. "
ALI this, guardsmen think, is enough
to warrant real big time.

ARMORY WORK CANNOT
BE FINISHED ON TIME

With eighteen days Of the forty days
allowed for the completion of the work
of building additional rooms in the
armory gone, it is apparent that an
extension of time will have to be
granted the contractors. Delay in the
work is attributed to trouble in get
ting the kind of lumber wanted just
when it was needed. The work as a
whole was let to one firm and they in
turn let it to sub-contractors, who
have rushed the work as fast as they
could.
Four new rooms are being built
above the rooms on the armory floor
which are already finished The rooms
above will be finished just as the lower
rooms are and will be used by the
different companies to keep their
equipment in.
