WILL CELEBRATE
 FOURTH OF JULY
Junior Order Councils Of District Are Very
 Active

Birmingham council No. 21, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, met in regular session Monday night for the transaction of business. A short session was held and the officers and degree team went to New Merkel to mi tiate a class of candidates for the New Merkle council recently organized. The work was put on in very creditable manner. At the conclusion of the cere- monies ice cream and cake was served.
 New Merkle council is making splen. did progress, both in membership and finances, and indications are that the goal of 100 members set for the new term will be exceeded before the time limit expires. The officers and menab bers are enthusiastic and every meeting finds a bunch of applications for mem- bership.
 Inglenook council No. IS is undergo ing the inconvenience of having to meet temporarily in the schoolhouse, the lodge hall of the fraternal orders of that section now having no other place in which to hold meetings, the old hall having been turned into an apartment house by the owner. Notwithstanding
  continues to hold regular meetings and there is some growth, though not what it could be under more favorable condi- tions.
 Pursuant to direction of State Coun- cilor Keenan most of the councils Tn Alabama will join in community cele- brations of Independence Day this year, as is the custom. Where councils do not meet on Fridays, the state coun- cillor suggests that among the exer- cises of the meetings falling nearest July 4, the Declaration of Independence and he Constitution of the United States be read in order to recall to the members the truths of the two notable documents of American history.
 Election of officers will engage the attention of Birmingham council Mon day night and a good attendance of the membership is requested. The election has been delayed because of the short meetings heidi the past two nights, when special arrangements were being made for visitations. Every member should be present to vote upon the officers.
 Several of the councils have not yet supplied the state secretary with the names and addresses of their member ships so that the council paper soon to be issued can be sent to them. All council secretaries who have not yet supplied these lists should do so at once so the necessary arrangements can be made with the postoffice department for special postage facilities and rates.

Adj. Gen. Hanson
Points to Need
Supporting Strong
Guard Organization

THE National Guard of this State
at the present time is at high STAN
dard of efficiency, probably the high
est obtained in times of peace. We
request your support and cooperation
in keeping this high standard and
ask that you arrange for such men
belonging to the National Guard as
are employed by you to attend camp
with their organization, allowing
them as least the difference in pay
they receive from the State and Gov
eminent and the pay they. would re-
ceive if remaining at their regular
employment. The combined State
and Federal pay ranges front $3.50
for a private up to $2.96 for the
highest grade of commissioned
officer, which is a master sergeant"
This is the appeal that is being
made by Adjutant General James w.
Hanson to the citizens of Maine,
and especially to the employers to
encourage the attendance of Guards
men at the regular training camps
the coming summer.
Assistance of .Guardsmen at the
Maine State Prison at Thomaston at
the time of the fire there and also at
the disastrous fire. at Pressure Isle
are mentioned by General Hanson in
his appeal.
The dates for the regular encamp-
ments in 1924 are as follows:
240th Coast Artillery at Fort Will
liams, July 721.
26th Infantry Brigade at FortEthan
Allen, VT, July 25-August 8.
152nd Field Artillery at Camp
Reyes. Augusta, August 1925.
Our Regular Army has been re-
duced much below the danger point
so that it is no longer a first line of
defense, but is being used as a train
ing center for the citizen components
of the Army of the United States, of
which the National Guard is the
first" General Hanson points out.
Therefore it can readily be seen
that a strong. we'll organized, disci-
plined and efficient National Guard
Is vitality important"

it in transference to the screen has
doubled it's entertainment values.
