COLONEL T. NJ. ANDERSON
TO COMMAND G. NJ. T.. {

Colonel T. NJ. Anderson, Chief of
Staff, 104th Division, Organized Re-
serves, Salt Lake City, has been Sc
lected by the War Department to
command the Citizens Military
Training Camp to be held at Fort
Douglas, Utah, June 12-July IL,
1925. 1t is the policy of the Secre-
tary of War to place only those Of
ficers on duty with the C. M. r. c..
who have exhibited the greatest abil-
ity to handle the instruction of the
young men.
A survey of Colonel Anderson's re-
cord of thirty years service in the
Army indicates that there has been
no change of policy as. far as this
camp is concerned. He has been in
the van guard of the army in every
conflict hat has required the use of
the United States troops. In Cuba
during the Spanish American War, in
the PHILIPPINES during the Insurrec-
ton, in Mexico during the Punitive
Expedition, and on the front line in
France as Commanding Officer of the
9TH Infantry, 3rd Division, he has
spent a major portion of his life I'M
der fire. During this time he has
been cited for gallantry three times.
and was decorated by the French
government for his ability in turning
back the attacking regiments of Ger
many's best soldiers.
When the National Army was be-
ing organized and trained in 1917,
1t was necessary to have officers of
experience to conduct the training
camps to prepare men to be the lead
ers. Colonel Anderson was selected
as Senior Instructor of two of these
camps where he made a remarkable
record as an organizer and teacher.
Many concentrations were given him
for his ability in teaching other men
to be leaders and officers.
1t is fortunate that an officer with
this outstanding record has been
placed in charge of he young men
of this area during the 80 day period
of training. Parents can feel con-
fident in permitting their sons to en-
roll that no harm can be done them
under the guidance of a man who
has devoted his life to his country
in such an exemplary manner. The
young men of this vicinity will be

Mayietta Sent to
Industrial School
On Saturday Last

Joseph Mayietta, Is year old 1tal-
ian boy, who was arrested on April
% near Saratoga on a charge of
juvenile delinquency, was tried before
Judge Tidball at the court house in
this city on Saturday last. He was
sentenced to the State Industrial
Institute at Worland, Wyoming, the
length of his term to be determined
by his behavior while in that in
stitution.
The boy said that while living in
his home at New Britain, Conn, he
read all the stories of the Wild West
and the so-called Dime Novels that
he could get hold Of and he decided
to come to the west and try his luck.
He left his home during October 1924
and was cumming his way across the
country. He stated that his mother
died when he was IL years old and
that he could not get along with his
father.
While in the Platte river section
he was picked up by c. f. Lewis and
given some food. Mr.. Lewis asked
the boy IL he wanted to work on his
homestead near Encampment and the
boy answered that he lid. Mayietta

war, on Flanders Field, where the
firing had been terrific and thous-
ands Of our boys had fallen in battle,
in the midst of complete devastation,
the peoples came up in abundance.
The French women tell you today
that the poppy is significant of the
sacrificial blood of the boys who fell
On Flanders Field. Those who have
travelled through France since the
war, tell us it is peculiarly true, that
where the battle was the fiercest and
the bloodshed the greatest, the pop
pies of this day grow more profuse.
From this beautiful superstition
comes the true message of the poppy
the message from the boys who
fell, as expressed most beautifully in
Colonel McRae's verse - We Shall
Not Sleep
In Flanders Field the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days age we lived, felt dawn,
saw sunset glow
Lived and were loved, and now we
lie
In Flanders Field.
Take up your quarrel with the foe.
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch-be yours to hold it high;
If ye break faith with those who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples
grow
In Flanders Field.
Because of this close association
of the supreme sacrifice made by the
boys who fell in France, the poppy
has become the Memorial Flower of
the American Legion and the Auxil-
iary-the emblem of a faith that is
being kept through service to the
living.
So do your bit when Poppy Day
comes on Monday, May 18th, and
don't fail to buy at least II poppy.
