intefrupting the routine of man who
must work for livelihood. The Ma
tional Guard provides a solution for
this problem, and it is the only exist
ing agency. that does provide salts
factory solution. In doing this the
guard is not furnishing a substitute
for the Second division; it operates
in a different field.
The main purpose of the National
Guard is to teach part of the rules
and plays of the military game, TO
keep organization equipped, and to
carry men part way along the stand
ard training program so that they can
soon be made ready for unlimited
service in time of national emergency,
Gives Local Protection.
The guard also has another func-
ton; it provides local protection. It
is a safeguard against outbreaks of
violence and disorder. 1t stands back
Of the municipal, the county and the
state authorities. Without taking
sides in disputes it stands for the
enforcement of law.
To receive this abbreviated course
of military training, the National
Guard wants earnest, Woodworking
men who have jobs and are busy, but
who are willing to take from their
recreation hours enough time to meet
their obligations as to drills, the usual

If the recruit has sufficient training
he is Immediately reported for assign
ment to an army band, where his in
struction continues in the higher
grades Of music. If he is found in
sufficiently schooled for immediate as
segment, out has a musical tempera-
ment susceptible of training, he will
be placed with the recruit depot band
for instruction. In either case he re-
ceives regular, systematic training as
an instrumentalist and in band rou-
tine, and gains musical experience
such as is difficult to obtain in any or
ganization outside the army. The ed
ucational feature is not confined to
our recruit depot bands, but is con-
tinued in all army bands.
To men with special qualifications,
who can pass the required examina-
ton, an added inducement is held out
"a two-year course at the United
States Army Music school.
Any bandsman in his second enlist
ment may become candidate for the
free scholarship at the Institute of
Musical Art Of New York city. This

institution supervises the instruction
at the United States Army Music
school.
The director of the institute exam
| ines the candidates for enrolment and
selects Eve or six men for the scholar
ships. Others who display marked
ability but who fall a little below the
passing mark, are permitted to re-
main and take the one-year assistant
band leader course al the school.
The course Of training for recruits
has been adopted after a thorough
study of the best methods found in
foreign armies. The most practical
features have been taken from every
available source and combined into an
American system which has already
achieved valuable results.
A word about pay. The army mu-
stefan has no anxiety about his food
good, wholesome, strengthening food;
there is no worry about clothes, quar-
tiers, heat or light; there is no appre-
hension as to sickness or doctors bills.
He has, besides these, many advan-
tages, healthy, environment, cheer
full companionship and the opportu-
nifty to broaden his point Of view by
association with many different types
Of men. He is assured of ample time
to practice, ample time for leisure,
nor is there any deduction of pay
while he is on furlough.
All musicians receive more money
| than privates, as well as other priv
ileges; and they are eligible to al the
] noncommissioned grades, from mu-
stefan, third class, to band leader.
In conclusion, I can SAFELY say that
as builders of morale, and as main
tanners of the fighting spirit which
made American troops invincible dur
ing the great war, the bands of the
/ United States army demonstrated
their value beyond all question.

requirements being one and one-half
hours week in the armory through
out the year and 10 days in camp dur
ing the summer.
Those who volunteer for this linn
tied service will receive many bene-
fits and privileges, to say nothing Of
the cash compensation, which is
considerable item in itself. For at
tending the weekly, drill, the least pay
drawn is ST., and nearly So is allowed
for certain noncommissioned officers.
Rebuilding Old Guard.
The National Guard is calling for
recruits to rebuild upon the founda-
ton of the old guard new structure
that will perpetuate the splendid ira
ditions Of that force. There are or
CARNATIONS in the National Guard
which have records that are rich in
action and accomplishment, and regi-
mental histories showing parts taken
in wars back as far as the American
revolution. In the World war it fur
nished II combat divisions-nearly
100000 officers and men.
There is no conflict of recruiting in
terests between these two establish
ments. The Second division will draw
5000 men who have no home or bust
ness responsibilities to prevent their
giving themselves entirely to the serv-
ice of the country. The National
Guard should enlist men whose re-
sponsibilities will not permit them to
sever home ties entirely, but who can
spare sufficient time to join a local
military organization.

Gen. p. G. Harris, the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Army, a man may enlist to
study music who has had no musical
training, whatsoever. Army-trained
bandsmen find so many opportunities
in civil life today that the regiments
have great difficulty in keeping their
men, once they have become finished
musicians and have had their tenn
permanent well ordered and disciplined
by their army experience. A tremen-
dous demand exists for their services
In factories and industrial plants,
where easy jobs at good pay are wait
ing for army musicians. There they
are Immediately assigned to the band,
now an important part in welfare
work among large corporations
Today the army will take any man
and teach him the instrument to
which he is best adapted, or the one
which he may desire. The young fell
low who yearns to learn march music
and jazz will be sent to the Seventh
Recruit Depot band, Columbus bar
racks, Ohio, where preparations are
now being made to train two hun
dred musicians for the army, under
my direction. ~
may say that here the road to
finished musical education lies open
to any man with musical training, tai
emf, temperament,> or aspiration For
the finished musician there is the prob
able opportunity that he will be able
some time to organize and conduct
his own band-the goal that beckons
every bandsman who has the truly
musical spirit.
To those men whose training is In
complete, or whose main quality is mu-
steal talent and desire to develop it,
the army holds out inducements that
cannot be approached in civil life.
These men may be accepted for enlist
merit in any fighting branch of the
army they desire. They come to the
Columbus recruit depot for enlistment,
and here they are Immediately tested
as to their musical ability or capacity
to receive instruction.

DON'T WORK BECAUSE
 THEY DON'T WANT TO

Some of the five million unemployed men that the democrats are just now so fond of ranting about are here in Flagstaff. None of them care much about working; all of them can get work; most of them would die with shame if by chance they made mis- take and did an honest days work.
 Some of them were working for Jack Hester, threshing, getting $2 a day and board. They struck for $3.
 One of them was unloading coal, for $3.20 day and board. He found out the boss was getting more than he was, so he quit.
 Two of them are in jail, for stealing car. Both young huskies, they ve- hemently assert they wouldn't pick spuds if they starved.
 One of them was getting $7 day, and more, and board, picking spuds. He was paid by the sack. He began leaving a half bushel out of of each sack and was fired.
 Another, deaf and dumb, but pow erfully made and healthy, had his leg smashed and was otherwise bruised stealing ride on freight between here and Williams. He was brought to the county hospital Monday night. From papers he carries it was learned that he had been begging all over the country. His name is Williamson.
 Several of them, strong and hearty, were begging from house to house here within the last few days. One of them, after touching several, was heard to remark that he was going to visit Grand Canyon while he was in this section.
 Very many of the army of five mil lion will be kept out of employment just as long as misguided persons leave their property unguarded ol listen to their lies and give them money and food.
