The old armory was visited | which the boys lost while across the seas whéther legally | or otherwise is still to be decided. Then the basement which | serves merely as a store-house for the company, unfit for | drilling, was inspected. | Jt was humiliating to say the least that such conditions | could exist in the capital city where the National Guard company should be of first rank. The personnel of Company | A is as fine as any in the guard but the fight for an armory | > has been an uphill one and promises to be a long drawn out ; legal contest to settle the damages for conversion of prop- | erty which the supreme court in its decision has clearly painted out was committed while the boys were fighting on} landers field. As an evidence of interest in national guard matters and a step which may, have a bearing when the time comes in| the regarrisoning of Fort Lincoln, the citizens of Bismarck | should take an immediate interest in Company A and get} behind them in their rather discouraging fight for an armory. | This city must show that it is willing to cooperate in build- | ing here a company that can function properly reflecting | civic interest in what the federal government is doing to build up the national guard as a line of the nation’s defense. Major General Duncan and Col. Heaton pointed out in-| formally the et a company of National Guard is to a city. Under the federal aid plan, the national guard affords the! young man an excellent training and pays him for his time. This is quite an item from a payroll standpoint alone besides | building up the morale of the young man and making him a} better American citizen. | Bismarck was honored by the visit of these officers of ; the regular army. Both of them kindly, sympathetic and! eager to build up in this state a fine military unit, they made| an excellent impression upon the business men who were} fortunate to meet them, Gen, Dunean in the Philippine war | and later in the World war served with great distinction. He is a charming southern gentleman and was greatly i pressed by the excellent location of Fort Lincoln and the hospitality shown here. | A special citizens committee should be appointed to back | up Company A in its fight. Lets see that the boys have an adequate drill hall before the snow flies. The courts will doubtless give the company its rights in time, but a little cooperation now will be of inestimable value. i ONG CHE | Without a cent to-his name Ong Che, a Chinese coolie, | arrived in Manila 15 years ago. He got busy, with a bland smile, a serene confidence, a tireless body. No job was too menial—anything to corral the loose nickels and dimes. Included in Ong Che’s make-up was the powerful seed, a sense of thrift. It took him three years to save $300. Then he went into the junk business. Now he buys anything rom a wire nail to a steamship” and is worth a million dol- | Ong Che is the new owner of the steamer Missoula, | purchased from our army quartermaster department. ‘When a penniless “Chink” can accumulate a million, surely the rest of us can never admit that the future is black and hopeless.
