While the Senate and the House are
wrangling over disarmament and the
size Of the regular army. the cause Of
national preparedness is marching on
in the form Of reorganized and greatly
increased National Guard. No sooner
was the talk begun in the matter Of a
reduction Of the standing army, when
the War Department began 10 pay more
attention 10 the National Guard. II is
the belief Of H. p. Niedermeyer. cap
tain of Battery B Of the Missouri Nation
al Guard, thai any further reduction in
the size IF the regular army viii bring
corresponding increase in the alloi-
ments Of both men and material for the
National Guard.
Mr.. Niedermeyer thinks that the Ma
tional Guard has a great future, and that
Il is destined to bear the brunt Of nalion-
al defense, even as ii did during the late
war.
"The National Guard Mr.. Niedrr-
meyer said, is in It's infancy now, bu,

and half as docs the army in year Of

Battery B has l03 members. and There
are fifty others waiting to be enlisted
in Battery C which will be organized
next month. The men drill five times a
month, a total Of ten hours. Besides
that, there is a school for officers and
non-commissioned officers which is open
once a week. Target practice is held
twice a week so that every man is on
the rifle range one day in the month.
The target practice includes work
with pistols, automatic rifles and ma.
chine guns. The drilling is done in the
armory which has been enlarged since
the fire. An outdoor mounted drill viii

twice a week from that time on. There
will also be a mounted service school
in which each man viii be given
horse, and graded according to the con
dition, appearance and training Of .his
mount.
The battery, according TO Mr.. Nieder-
meyer, has better attendance than any
other organization in he state. its aver

In an early history Of Boone Count,
an account is given Of Columbia il
Civil War days. Incidents Of Militar,
hrmness between life long friends and
aeishbors and the guerrilla warfare in
Columbia furnish striking contrast tc
scenes ef the Great War.
In part the history says: "The Hon
orsble ]. s. Rollins had a call from a
band Of twenty grerrillas when he was
Wishing the store Of J. W. Lamme. The
guerrilla leader came 10 the door and
asked for Rollins. Upon appearing he
xas promptly arrested. They plundered
the store while Rollins. bound with rope,
stood by and gave them good advice. :
Whether Rollins had an interest in the
store or why he did not receive help
is not stalled.
aMsior Rollins had a short converse
ton with Captain Pullman and upon the
ip,ercession Of several ladies who were
present the Major was released, con
iinues The account. II is interesting that
the release came after the store was
riHed.
Evidence Of feeling on the part OF
the feminine population is given when
stwo ladies' were arrested. thames are
unknown by Captain H. NJ. Cook for
insuiiingly getting Of the side walk in
order 10 avoid passing beneath the Union
colors."

SUGAR COMPANY QUITS
SOUTH DAKOTA FIELD

There has been a good deal OF
comment in western South Dako-
ia recently upon the fact that the
Great Western Sugar Company has
announced that it rs temporarily.
at least, abandoning the Belle
Fourche district. AS result
there will be very few beets grown
in that locality this coming year
The company has this to say in
it's announcement:
THE Great Western Sugar Com
pany has now completed its 1921
campaign in the Belle Frouche ter
ritory, and some statement is due
to the growers as to next season 5
operations here. Developments in
the sugar industry have not made
the outlook very encouraging for
the future; and the company has
decided, for the present at ieast,
to close the Belle Fourche office,
and place its men in other locali-
ties where their services can be
utilized until the situation is re-
lieved. It does not at this time
seem probable that the contract
price for beets for the year 1922
will be sufficiently attractive to III
duce growers in the Belle Fourchc
territory to enter contracts for
that year. A reduction in freight
rates sufficient to compensate for
whatever decrease is r4ade in he
contract price might change this
situation, but until tat the grow
ers would not be interested IN the
growing of beets.
The company is contemplating

No workman is now as well off as
he was in 1913 unless his income
in that year. Yet I am going to him
with, perhaps. a 20 per cent wage re-

was necessary. But why do L COM

There are. doubtless. many. 'ungen-

the simple one OF a resistance as
strong as organized labor is able to
