One (- (- NT NT NT ' r r a'v' COUNTY r r What the local battery means to this city from a revenue standpoint is very clearly shown in figures given out this week by the National Guard officials which totals an outlay of money for the maintenance of the battery at Nephi of over $20,000.00 per annum. Among the items that make up this total is that of hay and grain, the greater portion of which is purchased from the farmers of this city. This amounts to $5,000.00 per year. Salaries of the stable crew and caretaker of the armory checks out another $4,500.00. Payment to the officers and enlisted men for drill amounts to over- - $5,000.00 per annum, of which total over $1,300 wa3 distributed this week for drills for the months of January, February, and March. Rent, Light, and Fuel brings in $2,500.00. Janitor service and clerical work over $1,000.00. Added to the above is pay received by the officers and men while on tha annual encampment. From the above figures it can read ily be seen that location of the battery here is equal to. a good sized Industry as a distributor of money in the community. The enlistment of the battery U now at 67 men. There is a number of vacancies still to be filled, which offers an opportunity for young men to get a thorough training along military lines and also have an op portunity to attend this summer's encampment at Camp Lewis, Wash If all these ington, for two weeks. vacancies were filled it would inrease the above amount which would be re ceived by several thousand dollars.

Seldon if ever Is this rule broken. It is after the week's work is over that the evening is devoted to entertainment. If such entertainment Is not provided what Is the result? S'udents either patronize some outside entertainment or attend private parties at the homos or the students or elsewhere. Is It not better to have the student at tend a party which Is properly conducted and under proper school restrictions. We will admit that some students do let entertainment Interfere with their school work. The majority, however, should not be condemned for the actions or attitude of a few. Students are urged at school to spnd their time In conscientious study; to realize the importance of education and training and what It will mean to them in later years. If they persist In an attitude of Indifference toward their work they are, what is known In military parlance as "slackers," and the fault must either be in the student himself, his honii! training or some alifn Influence. It does nn lie in the fact that entertainments are given by the school which he must attend. Entertainment is as necessary a The annual high school field day was held Friday. During the morning the various contests were held in the High School Building, and in the afternoon at the City Ball Park.
