NATIONAL GUARD WORK
Commander in District Tells of
: Better. Results Than Obtained
by. German Methods.

Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan. commander
OF the; District National Guard, spoke
last night at the armory before a large
audience Of enthusiastic guard sup
porters.
The importance Of a strong and well
disciplined National IGuard, it's accom-
plithments during the late war and the
history of the District guard since it's
organization in 1887, were some Of the
high lights in Gen. Stephan's address.
The National Guard system has made
good" said Gen. Stephan, There is a
psychological reason for it. The Ma
tional Guard system builds men. It
takes European material that is below
par and in a very short time turns that
material into better mon and better
soldiers than our enenies were able to
produce with their lifelong military sys-
TENS.
"The great problem Of the future is
to develop the American system in
such a manner that it will contribute
the maximum benefit and service to
American hood .rss IL y - =

His address was illustrated with q

lures were taken by Signal Corps

WOMEN ARE MAKING
THINGS HUM AFTER
WINNING TOWN OFFICES
Continued from First Pase.)


1t does not get any one anything
to argue with the long arm OF the
law. especially when that particu-
lar unit happens to be ones wife.
The new oficia!s announce that
relatives. husbands, included, will
be shown no favors. Every moth
er's son who lives in Deslacs.
they insist. is going to toe the
mark. Not alone the letter, but
the spirit of the law is to be OBJ
served.
Up to six weeks ago things ap-
peared to be moving along quietly.
things dled for reelection. Then.
women announced they intended
naming 4 complete ticket. This
sounded like unusually good
humor to the men, who refused to
take the statement seriously until
the women launched their cam
patgn.
The women held public meetings.
They organised torchlight parades-
The result was that, one by one,
the men dropped out and the wom-
en- went into Office by 2-to-1
vote.
when we said that we were
going to have q bigger. better and
cleaner Deslacs We meant it," ex-
plafned Mrs. Halvorson today. I'VE

fairs of the council" -.-
I'VE expect the cooperation, Of
every citizen," said Justice of the
lot to learn and it may take US
some time, perhaps, to get the
drift of things. But once we get
going there will be no monkey
business"
The Immediate future looks
gloomy to the man folks. No one
even dares to hazard q guess as
to how drastic the new officials
will be. -.
You can't tell q blamed thing
about women" says Mr.. Ward.
They probably will put in
whole lot Of fool regulations and
then expect us to live up to them.
Well, by ginger, If they get gay
with me there isn't any reason
why I cannot get out of Deslacs."
Mr.. Ward is the most resentful
OF all Of the male citizens. He
cannot sec any reason why town
affairs should be steered by
women. He always has believed,
in the home alongside the stove,
behind the washtub or any place
where she could do the most good.
AS a general proposition the
men are holding their breath watt
ing for something to happen. They
are watching their step and max
ing no plans. They admit won
dering what they will do when the
woman officials tell them how fast
they can drive their automobiles,
what they are to do with them
selves Sunday. how late in the
evening they can play pool and all
other such matters of supreme
Importance to the male Of the
species.
And already the men are plan
ming reprislls in the campaign Of
1929. They intend perfecting an
organization to put the women
back where, they came from. In
the meantime 1t would not be wise
for any one to come Deslacs and
say that suffrage isn't getting on
