SUNDAY
At GUARD CAMP
Hundreds Witnessed the Mil
itary Ceremonies and
Heard Concert.

The weather yesterday brought hun
dreds of visitors to Mobilization camp
where the various ceremonies were en-
joyed. Guard mount, band concert and
parade on review grounds was pleasing
and the hundreds who came to visit
brothers and sons, Besides their happy
meetings were greatly elated with the
finesse with which everything martial
was carried out.
There is no more faulty step here
and there in the ranks, the recruits are
drilled to perfection before allowed to
join in the parade and the old timers,
those who have been in the guard for
months, have become as machines, all
working in unison as each command is
given. The concerts given by the
First Regiment band are getting bet
ter all the time though there always
has been nothing but the best music
rendered by this organization.
Rev. ]. w. Brown conducted the re-.
iigious services at the Y. N. G. A. at II
o'clock in the morning. The boys
crowded into the "Y" building to be
present at these services. In the even.
ing a sacred concert was given and the
