obserVation-rot original, I'll admit
was caused by the appearance in the
same carriage in the Column bus Day

democratic and republican candidates
respectively for state senator. While
no stenogra Dhic report of their con-

went something like this:
George-"Lovely weather we're
having"
George-"Ideal"
George-'T never remember such
a beautiful autumn"
George-"Nor do t.

George-"Have you been out in the
country lately? The foliage is beau

George-"Yes, it is wonderful"
George - "Certain1y remarkable

George-"I should think the ply

this weather."
Ceoree-"Yes, I have heard it has

George-"It certainly beats all how

GeOrgc-'It sure some weather."
Of course George and George may
have discussed other topics such as
the worlds series-and the weather,
but T fear their conversation will be
lost to posterity as no official report
was taken.

MONEY FOR M|[IT|AMEN
Citizen Soldiers VIII be Paid for At
tendance ON Drills After
July 1

After July 1st members of the
Ocala Rifles, with all guardsmen in
the country, will receive compensa-
ton for their services on the basis of
one-quarter of the pay of regular
army men. The change comes as
result of the federalizing bill which
recently passed at Washington and
has now been signed by President
Wilson. The compensation of mem
bers of the militia may eventually
lead to general reorganization of
the militia, according to the belief of
many officers.
Enlisted men will receive pay
amounting to about 81 a drill, with
additional pay for non-commissioned
officers and rife experts. Captains
will receive $500 per year, first lieu
tenants $500, and second heutenants
$3.50. For other officers the pay will
be rated according to rank and spe-
lcial service. To obtain this money
officers and men must be present at
at least forty-eight drills each year
and spend at least two weeks in a
camp. The drills must cover a period
Of not less than one and half hours.
The salary will be paid guardsmen
semi-annually. They will receive
about one dollar for each drill held
but they will be fined for failure to
attend drills and the fine will be de-
Quoted from their salary. 1t is thought
that the new provisions will make fol-
La stronger national guard. Since of
ficers are receiving pay for their ser.
vices, better officers will be required
and correspondingly better compan-
q les. 1t is possible that requirements
may be more strict and that some
persons who qualify now may not be
Eligible. In any event it is measure
which, army officers believe, viii
strengthen the national guard ane
make. it a factor of much greater
value in times of strife.
Under the new law recently passed
the national guard is to be increased
from 5000 to 425,O 900. New Yorl
state will be called upon to furnish
from 1900 to 10000 more men thar
are now in the ranks. Much is ex
. Ipected of the law which was recently
adopted by the New York state legis
lature calling for the enrolment Of
all able-bodied men in the state. I'm.
der this law any time that the gov.
ernor shall deem it necessary he car
call for this enrolment, and failure
to respond will place the negligent
one liable to states prison for long
period. Enrolment will not neces-
sarily mean joining the company, fol-
only small percentage will be draft.
ed, but every enrolled man is liable
to this draft.
