" . - ia.iaem j X'lx n -.aiU-lUl L . . - - Utah National Guard Reports On Activities "Wisdom is knowing what to do, skill is knowing how to do it, virtue Is 'doing- it." Since the report of the Federal Inspection in. last week's "Sun" of the Service Battory, Utah National Guard, located here Id Lehi. Several people have asked what the National Guard gives to its members mem-bers that really helps them to become be-come better citizens. With this thought in mind, the editor of the "Sun" was interviewed and has agreed to print, for the information f the public in general, some of the things the National Guard teaches. It would be impossible to list everything for there are thousands thous-ands of subjects and training regulations regu-lations given to help the guard member who desires to learn and advance These subjects are taught through weekly lectures and correspondence corre-spondence courses. It will be our aim to have published each week a series of articles, paramount in the training of National Guardamen, Every soldier on enlisting in the National Guard, takes upon himself the following obligations: OATH OF ENLISTMENT Every soldier on enlisting in the National Guard takes upon himself the following obligation: "I do hereby acknowledge to have voluntarily enlisted this day of . . 13...., as a jsioMier in the National Guard of the United States and of the State of Utah, for the period of thrp (or one) year.., under the conditions prescribed by law, unless sooner discharged by proper authority. .And I do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Vnlt'ed States of America nml to the State of Utah, and that I will serve thern honestly and faithfully against all their enemies whomsoever, and that 1 will obey the orders of the President of the United States and of the Governor of the State of Utah, and of the officers appointed . ovcrj me according accord-ing to law and ' the rules and Articles of War." Signature OBEDIENCE Discipline is evidenced by obedience. obedi-ence. Obedience is the first and lust; military duty of a soldier, but it. must be Intelligent and trained obedience to bo effective- It is then the foundation of which all military efficiency is built. Without With-out it any army becomes a mob, while with it a mob ceases to be a mob and becomes ' possessed of much of the power of an organized force. It Is a quality that is demanded de-manded of every person in the Army, from the highest to the low est. Each enlisted man binds himself, him-self, by his enlistment oath, to obedience. Each officer, in accepting accept-ing his commission, takes upon lilmself the same solemn obligation-Obey obligation-Obey strictly and execute promptly prompt-ly the lawful orders of your superiors. superi-ors. It is enough to know that the person giving the order, whether he be an officer, a noncommissioned officer, or a private acting as such, is your lawful superior. Tou may not like him, you may not respect him, but you must respect his position po-sition and authority, and reflect honor and credit upon yourself and yooF- profession by yielding to all superior that complete and unhesitating un-hesitating obedience which is the pleasure as well as the duty of every soldier. Orders must be strictly carried out. It is not sufficent to comply "with only that part which suits you or which involves no work nor danper r.or hardships. Neither is it proper or perm isslble, when you are ordered to do a thing in a certain way or to accomplish a work In a definitely prescribjpd marker, for you to obtain the same results by other methods. Obedience must be prompt and unquestioning. When any soldier (and this word Includes officers as well as enlisted men) receives an order. It is no for him to consider whether the order Is a good one or not whether It would have been better had suh an order never been given, or whether" the duty might be better .performed by aome one else, or at. some other time, or in some other manner. His duty is, first, to understand Just what the order requires, and, second, to pro ceed at once to carry it out to the best of hie ability. When, by long-continued drill and subordination, you have learned learn-ed your duties, and obedience be comes second nature, you have acquired ac-quired discipline. It can not be acquired In a day nor in a month. It is a growth. It is the habit of obedience- To teach this habit of obedience is one of the objects of the close-order drill, and, if good results are to be expected, the greatest attention must be paid to even the smallest details. The company or squad must be formed promptly at the prescribed time-not time-not a minute or even a second lata All must wear the exact uniform prescribed and in the exact manner prescribed. When at attention there must be no gazing about, no raising rais-ing of hands, no chewing or spitting in ranks. The manual of arms and all movements must he executed absolutely as prescribed. A drill of this kind teaches discipline. A careless. Indifferent drill breeds disohedience . and Insubordination. In other words, discipline simply means efficiency. LOYALTY But even with Implicit obedience you may yet fail to measure up to that high standard which Is at once the pride and glory of every true soldier. Not until you carry out the desires and wishes' of your superiors in a hearty, willing, and cheerful manner are you meeting nil the requirements of your profession. pro-fession. For an order is but the will of your superior, however It may be expressed. Loyalty means that you are for your organization and Its officers and noncommissioned noncommission-ed officers and against them; that you always extend your moat earnest and hearty support to those In authority. No soldier is a loyal soldier who Is a knocker, a grumbler, grumb-ler, or a shirker. Just one man of this class In a company breeds discontent dis-content and dissatisfaction among many others. Tou should, therefore, not only guard against doing such things yourself but should discourage dis-courage such actions among any of your comrades, We hope the people of Lehi will read these articles with open minds. We also suggest clipping them out for future reference, especially those articles that are applicable to your lives.

Charles G. Dawes, whose name Is almost synonymous for the business community of Chicago will sit in the driver' seat as the active head of the great $2,000,000,000 Federal corporation cor-poration just authorized by Congress. Another Chicago banker, a Democrat Demo-crat who is being repeatedly mentioned men-tioned as a man of Presidential timber tim-ber has the distinction of making a vital contribution to the initial strength and success of the Reconstruction Recon-struction Corporation. That man is Kelvin A. Traylor, president of the First National Bank of Chicago who was the first to visualize and propose that the Reconstruction Corporation render some service to thousands of depositors of small banns wmcn nu failed during the past two years. The gist of Mr. Traylor's proposal before a Senate Sub-Committee was that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation be authorized to make loans to closed banks as well as to financial institutions institu-tions and others needing its aid. Such a step would release substantial amounts of money to depositors whose funds had been "frozen" by the failure of such banks. Mr. Traylor's suggestion made such an impression that it was embodied in the Bill as finally passed by Congress. Con-gress. He, more than any other man, is responsible for the timely assistance assis-tance that will now be possible for many depositors of small banks throughout the country. gjjj MUKDEN BY MAIL-Well all I know Is Just what I read in the papers. And say Brother Its jo cold out here In this Manchuria that yon cant read, even if you had something to read which you havent Sitting Sit-ting here In Mukden, thats the town that all the Japanese and Chinese War news comes from, you know its been on the front pages of every paper for months and months. It used to be the old Capitol of Manchuria when Manchuria was really a Kingdom. They have had Emperors aid Rulers here for 2 or 3 thousand years. Its kinder In the range of that old Uepscallion Ganghl3 Khan, he ranged up and down these parts, he captured everything from Japan clear on right to the very gates of what is now Europe. He got clear to Vienna, and did It all horseback. Well this is right up his alley this place. Its got an old walled City here, where they close the Gates at night. Went down there yesterday with some Newspaper men to buy some Curios, that is Rare Jade. They had some wonderful old Curios in these old shops. Course they might have been like ours made the week before someplace but they Rooked pretty ancient to me. They live in the back end of these places. The way they work the heat or the stove is they have a little bit of a thing like a fireplace. Its generally right under their bed, and their bed Is built down solid to the ground. Its not a bed, its Just a high platform built against the back of the wall. Well they have little openings, not pipes, but just little long troughs, or alleyways running through the masonary that makes the foundation of the bed, and this little heat from this dinky little stove. It runs on through these little passages, and that is what heats the bed. . The Japanese they sleep on a mattress on the floor, but the Chi-nese Chi-nese get up on this shelf. We also went Into a Fur store as they wanted to get a kind of a lap robe to use in a Ricksha. Well you ought to have seen these Furs, If they dident have some of the queerest looking old Pelts in there, and what do you think they were, well they were every kind of fur in the World, but they were all dog fur. Thats what they really were. Of course there was Fox and Bearer and K linsky and Mink, but all made from practically the same Dog. Tou see those old Dogs up there are kinder semi wild, and they roam the country coun-try and they are raised in the Villages, Vil-lages, then when the family get broke why old Fldo la executed, and his hide brings In some rice, and his meat brings in all the neighbors, neigh-bors, and they have a feed, "Come tonight we are eating the Flee Hound."

Of all the junk they are cooking right there before you on a little Charcoal fire. All Kinds of fish, and queer do dads. Did I tell you how they traded? Well they wear great long Kimo-nas, Kimo-nas, with sleeves about six inches longer than the hand, and in cold weather they run each hand up each sleeve, like a Muff.

Well ' if they are a couple of good quick bring Traders they can get the price of a Pair of Sox agreed on along about the middle of the afternoon. Course the time means nothing to em, neither one is going anywhere, any-where, they are everybody says the sharpest Traders that there is in the World.

They are not what we call "Sharp, ers" they are Just good legitimate Traders.

But when his competitor stops advertising, it doubles the chances that his ad will bring new business to his store. Now is the time to advertise, while there are so many standing by and waiting the turn of conditions. You can make a decided upward turn in your business by launching a conservative conser-vative advertising campaign in your local paper. i list ' j Vandalism Prohibited The American antiquities act of June 8, 1000, provides a $500 tine and imprisonment, or both, for any person who shall without permission permis-sion 4'annronriate. evaennto. inlm-o ' or destroy any historic or prehis toric rum or monument, or any object ob-ject Of antiauitv. sihintPfl nn tnnrt owned or controlled by the United israies.
