An Unwise Decision

6The announcement that comes from the
war department through Major Gen
eral Carter, that National Guard
companies not recruited up to 100 men,
will fail to receive federal support-in
fact, will not be recognized-is an unwise
decision, that will only further tend to
breed agitation against the war depart
ment for giving sanction to it. That de-
partment has been guilty of numerous
blunders, but this one directed toward the
states is among the most serious of them
all.
The National Guard and it's champions
have found it difficult in the past to work
in harmony with the department. The
regular army and the guard have never
been boon companions. The decision to
force the guard to recruit in peace times
to 100 men per company does not bring
them any closer together. The adoption
of such policy means that Idaho and most
of the other states will be without recog-
nized and properly equipped guard com
panies unless they are financially able to
support home guard companies and regi-
ments which is not likely.
The excuse given for such a ruling is
that companies of IS men in the National
Guard are worthless because of the new
recruits that must be accepted to bring
the organization up to war strength 1t is
a flimsy argument. The United States
demonstrated during the last war that it
could turn the raw recruit into fighting
soldier in 80 days. That answers the war
departments contention. Companies of
100 or more men are not needed in peace
times. A maximum of Is is amply suffi-
cient and all that the people. should be
called upon to support. If there is an emer-
gency, Idaho and other states will be found
ready to recruit their companies up to a
fighting war strength. The ruling vir-
tually leaves us without troops of any
kind-federal or state.

SPEAKING OF UNREST.

Somebody has said that there is
considerable unrest in this country
and we are beginning to believe it.
We know there is considerable I'M
rest out at our country estate which
we have playfully named Mosquito
Manor. We also know who is doing
the unresting.
Owing to an influx of relatives we
have been spending our nights in an
old fashioned hammock. The man who
invented the hammock invented unrest
in it's most violent and persistent
form. A hammock will remain per-
fectly still and docile all day long
but as soon as you get into it to spend
the night, it begins to wiggle and
sway and jazz and shimmy, all of it's
own accord. Then one end Of 1t will
remain stationary while the other end
turns completely over, giving you a
peculiar corkscrew effect which is all
out of place in these prohibition times
BY this time you have showed both
arms and both feet through the ham
mock. We have wrestled with this
hammock every night until 2 or 8
o'clock and then fallen asleep from
pure exhaustion, hanGing from the
thing somehow face downward. The
wife has to come out in the morning
and unlock the hammock. The more
we have tried to wiggle out of 1t, the
more entangled we have become. So
We wear it to breakfast. After break
fast the wife and four or five of the
older children peel the thing off us
somehow, completing the operation
about noon. We have worn the ham,
mock into town two or three times,
when We had to arrive early, but it
has been an embarrassing procedure
because 1t is difficult to get a tight
fitting business suit on over a pair
of pajamas and hammock.
If anybody asks you if there is any
! unrest In this country, you can tell
them there is, and will be until the rel
alive season is over.

Constitution Defaners

some wild defamer of that instrument

IMPATIENTLY AWAIT GREAT
NEW CIRCUS
Ringling Bros. and Barnum G. Bailey
Combined Shows Arouse
Keen Interest Here

Circus Day." the big holiday for
which young and old impatiently
wait at this particular season prom
ises to eclipse all other events of the
calendar year at Nashville, Wednes-
day, Oct. %.
1t would seem as tn ugh every
body in this locality were planning to
attend. The very name of the great
new curcus-Ringling Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Combined has
been sufficient to arouse far more in
terest than has ever before been
shown in the coming Of any amuse-
ment enterprise. And word from the
Ringing Brothers, who are the di-
rectors of this gigantic super-circus,
is to the effect that those who attend
the performances will witness the
greatest program ever presented in
America. This is likewise true of
the mammoth street parade, which
will positively take place showday
morning, the mammoth menagerie
and all else connected with this big
gest of all amusement institutions.
The famous showmen have made
complete survey of both the great
circuses and merged the finest and
best of each into one. Hundreds up
on hundreds of performers will ap-
pear in the gigantic main-tent. There
will be scores upon scores of the
cleverest dumb actors. A gorgeously
costumed pageant, of stupendous
size, will open the program. Great
companies of characters, represent
ing the best-loved stories of fable
and nursery lore, will appear. There
will be splendid and many groups OF
beautiful horses in jeweled trappings.
The army of clowns exceed all past
records for fun and numbers. All
contribute to the biggest circus in
history.
