swerable to a single head and pre
pared to act promptly as the second
line of defense of the nation the reg
ular army of course being the first
To that end since the Spanish war
the national guard of the various
states has been made a part of the
regular army
The Nebraska national guard con
sists of two regiments of infantry
the First and Second one company of
the signal corps located at Fremont
one field hospital company located at
Lincoln one machine gun company
ideated atBeatricer and one englnees
company located at Omaha
i Though the two infantry regiments
would consist of twelve companies
each if filled the attitude of the state
military department in recent years
has been that of promptly mustering
out a company that does not maintain
itself at a high standard and to not
fill the vacancy until a new company
organized with at least forty five men
of good character ofilcered with men
of experience and enjoying the moral
and financial support of the commu
nity is offered to take its place As

A Battleships Eyes
In the design and equipment of Un
cle Sams newer battleships no feature
is more noticeable than the facilities
afforded for observation by the officers
and men stationed on the bridge ob
servations of the beacons and other
aids to navigation but more especially
observations of the movements of a
supposed enemy On the bridge and
on the fire control tower overhead
are to be found artificial aids for the
eyes of the battleship ranging all
the way from old fashioned glasses to
the powerful telescopes and kindred
annihilators of distance that are too
large to be supported at arms length

Irrigated Lands
Assert Their Value
The irrigated areas in the Big Horn Basin and the Yellowstone Val
ley present at this time a wholesome example of the value of irriga
tion On the Government irrigated homesteads in the vicinity of Rals
ton Powiell and Garland Wyo and along the Yellowstone river near
Huntley Montana there are magnificent crops of alfalfa wheat oats
potatoes sugar beets etc
An ample supply of water is furnished through the season by the
Government Along the Big Horn ariver upon lands taken under the
Carey Act there are likewise extensive areas of profitable crops
The Government irrigated homesteads under tthe new Ralston unit are
now available for entry These include some of the most valuable and
easily irrigated lands in the Basin They are surrounded by protecting
and magnificent mountain ranges Local and Government agents help
you in every way to select your land and they take a deep interest In
the development of your farm
The writer visited that locality the iweek of August 6th to 12th and
saw everywhere such excellent yields such highly developed farms canals
full of water fast growing towns new land going under cultivation as
to warrant this statement that there are not today in the United Stat
es better chances for successful farming and future homes than upon
the irrigated lands of the above named regions
Join our personally conducted excursions during the autumn and see
for yourself what I am trying to make plain to you
