 Men interested will report to the armory and talk it over with the sergeant. During this period of de- precision, with many men out of work, if the men knew of this proposition they would gladly join the guard to benefit thereby financially and at the same time to receive the valuable training offered. The pay for the encampment is from B to $5.25 per day, depending upon Tank. All meals, clothes. room, railroad, etc, are fur nished free
 The minimum age for enlistment is IS, and the maximum is 45. The re- cruit is expected to pass physical examination and before the end of the camp will be in the best of phys ical condition. Many of the young men of the town should become in terested in this organization and sup port it. There will nor be the large number of positions open to school boys this year as formerly, since work is so scarce, and the encamp- ment gives the boy way to earn and at the same time save.
 The encampment will be held under the personal direction of Capt. Ed ward $. Linton and Colonel Hanni- gan. Colonel Hannigan is regular army officer detached to Arizona as inspector instructor of the National Guard of Arizona. He has been very successful with the organization of the guard in California and several of

the eastern states. Captain Linton also is an inspector instructor of the Normal and high school cadets and has made an enviabie reputation for himself in that capacity. His recent very successful state Normal and high school cadet shoot held in Tue son during University week is just one of the pleasant memories that the cadets of Arizona have of Cap tain Linton. He is liked by the ca dets and guardsmen alike and is a perfect disciplinarian and an excellent soldier. With Captain Linton in charge, parents need not fear for their boys on the border.
 Every citizen of this country should be interested in it's development, its growth. it's education. and it's protec- tion. Too few become vitally inter- ested in the last, which is by far the most important, for we cannot grow, develop or educate if we are not pro tected. Every young man owes this to his country; to prepare in time Of peace to protect his country if the need ever arises. Now is the time to see the need: now is the time to enlist for the service of your state and your nation. Enlist today.
