COMPANY II In GRAND new HOME

-
Company H, is busy making prepa-
rations for the company's removal
next Tuesday evening. to its
quarters in the new $4,000 armory
that is practically completed now.
Only few finishing touches remain
to be put on the building and plans
have already been made to dedicate
it with military Easter ball on
Tuesday evening, April 25.
A representative of the company
that is furnishing the armory with
lockers, arrived here Wednesday
morning and is at work installing
them, both for the company and for
Capt. Hume's infirmary. At a meeting
the company Tuesday night, it was
decided to have the non-commission-
ed officers of the infirmary have their
lockers with those of the company.
On Wednesday afternoon men,
bers of the G. A. r. and w. r. G.
called on Capt. Parker to ascertain
what privileges those organizations
would have in the new building. They
were assigned to the assembly room
on the second floor, which is 33x39
organizations named, may use as
club room, although the board of
control of the armory retains the
right to the room when they have
use for it for other purposes. Capt.
Parker escorted the members who
called on him, through the armory
and they we're much impressed with
1t. They said that they would be
glad to accept the invitation to share
the building with the other organiza-
.tionsE1 '~.gnoT aq
New social membership cards are
being prepared by the captain and
those already issued may be exchang-
ed for the new ones. The new cards
will date from May 1.
A revised list of house rules has
been prepared to govern the conduct
of all those who have access to the
armory. One of these rules will be
that members of the board of con-
troll of the company, the board of di-
rectors and the civic advisory COM
mittee, shall hold joint meetings to
take up matters of Importance.
Another is that all enlisted men shall
observe strict military discipline
while in the building.
AS soon as the company is settled
in its new quarters, Capt. Parker will
issue summons to several members
who have neglected their military
duties by failing to attend drill and
and disobedience to or
ders, for summary courtmartial.
Those found guilty will be dropped
from tie rolls and denied the priv
ileges of the armory, but will be sub
iect to being put back on the rolls
for duty any time the captain de-
sires to do so and made to serve
their three years enlistment. 1t is
the captains plan to punish these
men by compelling them to go to
camp and do severe fatigue duty dur
ing the entire tour of duty.

will be dedicated on April 25, by the
ball. On April %, the Re-
publican district convention will be

building. Most of the lighting fix
lures have been installed now.

years of service, Quartermaster

old armory, now the I. o. o. F.
