Captain H. e. Boies. Company H..
returned from a two weeks visit to !
his old home at Missouri Valley, Iowa,
on September 25th. Aside from max
ing and inspection of every Nationa
Guard organization he could find, our

ing. evidently preparing himself for
eventualities. He reports pleasant
trip. Query. what is her name?
Captain r. l.. Shaw. Company ~
who has been in poor health since
camp, is now at Waukesha. Wisconsin,
enjoying the baths. He writes that
there is decided improvement In his
health and that he will soon be back
amongst US prepared to defend any
and all shooting trophies now In pos
session Of / company. One learned
friend has suggested that the cap
tain's Ill health may be traced to the
shock he received when company
won the regimental trophy.
The following Is copied from the.
Pend d'Oreille Review, September II,
1915. This Is but an example of the
A a model for the other companies
OF the state to pattern after:
Since the annual encampment in
July, Company A Of the National
Guard has had a vacation from all
work of military nature as is usual
during the warmer months of the
year. Last Monday they met for the
first time and the winter schedule OF
work was entered into A large per-
centage Of the members attended ana
much enthusiasm was shown at the
| beginning of the active work.
Captain Matthienson addressed the
men outlining the work for the year
and urging the necessity of hard work
to keep the body in such shape that
inspection would cause no worry. He
urged the whole hearted cooperation
among the men in an endeavor to bring
1.-THE company to standard of efficiency
that would place 1t in the lead of all
other companies of the state. Every
member of the company was ordered
lout for the weekly drill that all might
keep up to the standard of the COM
pany.
The captain called the attention Of
the men to the fact that the schedule
for the local firing range west OF
town called for shoot every Sunday
morning, the company leaving the ar
mory at nine o'clock sharp. The men
were ordered to make special effort to
be on time so that there might be nc
delay as has been the case on many
instances in the past. An early start
is necessary to the completion of the
courses arranged for.
The following card has been re.
ceived and shows that one branch Of
the service is alive to the needs OF the
nation.
