1 ESTAN HERALD NnWB BtsbllhdWO Harsli) EtbiihedlB08 Estancia, Torrance County, New Mexico, Thuriday, December 29. 1921 Volume XVIII No. 11 OA NEWS NTERESTING WITH TROOP The meeting at the cavalry grounds last Thursday even ing, where a large crowd of people from town and country met and fraternized with the soldier, boys, was a very suc cessful and enjoyable affair. The weather was rather un- kind, but it wasn't so bad but that everyone in the crowd en joyed himself or herself. The boys put on some camp stunts for the edification of their visitors, such as horse back wrestling and boxing. The speaking included a welcome address by Captain Hamilton and speeches by Revs. McBride and Harrison and others. The evening's entertainment was concluded with a camp lunch, which the guests en joyed as much as if it had been the most elaborate ban quet. Captain Hamilton's talk was addressed for the most part to the general public. For that reason we deem it of general interest and it is printed here with : . Citizens of Estancia, it is my pleasure this eveni ng, in be half of Troop A and the La dies' Auxiliary to extend to one and all of you a most hear ty welcome. It is our desire that this be th'e first of many similar meetings that will be held in the future. We had hoped to have all buildings, corrals and improvements that have been started completed by this evening but were un able on account of lack of funds. That has made it nec essary to complete all con struction work with our own men detailed to care for hors es and equipment. There were, some six weeks ago, twenty towns, each of which is larger than Estancia, who were petitioning the Ad jutant General's office for a unit of either combat engineers or cavalry, with all of them giving cavalry as their first choice, so we should indeed feel proud of ourselves when we look around and see what we accomplished by going af ter a unit of cavalry when it first became available. Citizens of Estancia we want you to always feel that this is Estancia's Troop and that each of you are as much responsible for its future as are the indi vidual members of the Troop. It is our desire to create an or ganization, the personnel of which will command the re spect of the community; and with this personnel, create an , efficient, well drilled, well disciplined and well behaved organization that public atten tion will always be favorably attracted to it and public pride aroused, deserved and held, thus makinsr the organization an acknowledged, accepted, desirable and fixed feature of the communitv. We want you to believe the fact that the Guard is a most valuable asset to Estancia and deserves a hich nlace in its estimation. It is an institution legally creat ed and accepted by the Gov ernment and the State and is a fixed and important part of a large and --tomprehensive scheme of national and com munity defense and protection at a minimum of cost, recently I Waggeners Dream S (Revised and reprinted in broken doses by permission S oí the Postal Department, U. 8.

This plan keeps down to a minimum oí num bers and cost the national ar my and is a big serious nation al affair, a serious effort for the most inexpensive national preparation under present sen timent of the nation. Belonging to the federally recognizee national guard where the War Department furnishes all equipment and supplies and requires intensive study and training on the part of officers . and enlisted men, 'should not be "confused with the old National Guard that many of you were familiar with before the war. At that time many of the organizations did not merit being called any thing more than "tin soldiers" for they were often roisterous, and always ready for furi or frolic with the minimum of work and discipline.. A few years ago the annual encamp ment of the National liuard was referred to by the initiated as the Guards Annual Drunk. Each of your boys making the trip last fall can testily that the camp they attended was anything else than a play house. If you will look around at the men in khaki here tonight you will see that the guard is composed of 100 per cent of young American blood and are truly the pick of the communi ty. Don't understand me to say that we now have all of the 100 per cent Americans who . . . . ti now live here in tne uuara for we have not. There are yet a few who have not had the organization explained to them. I personally feel that we have fewer young men in this district than in the majori ty of other districts of the United States who eitner ieei that they are too gojd to wear the khaki of Uncle Sam or just haven't the moral fibre in their backbone necessary for good citizenship. We are leaving it to you, fellow citizens, to find the few men that we may have of this class, for I know that you realize tnat me ciuzen who is disloyal in tnougnt or action to the flag under which he labors and is at the same time a valuable citizen of the community which furnishes his means of support is a very great exception. 'When you are loyal to your troop you are loyal to your national life and inverselv when you are disloy al to the troop you are disloyal to Uncle Sam and are not wor thy of being called an Ameri can citizen and honored in your own community. In this connection l want to say mat there has in the past been en tirely too many wild stories circulated as to wnat me Guard is doiner or is going to do that were made with the idea that the morale of the troop would be weakened. In order that we may give such reports the widest circulation l want each of you to consider your selves as a committee of one to run down all reports of this na ture and find who the origina tor was in order that we may inform others who the bene factor is and let them know that it is just another lie. There are a few who think that it is smart to start such re ports while there are others who have to find action for their infertile minds and do not realize the harm that they do. We want all ex-service men to feel that they are always welcome at the barns or troop affairs. The ladies are organ izing a Woman's Auxiliary Sq- ASSESSORS WILL BE BUSY SOON Assessor Dixie C. Howell and C. M. Milbourn, chairman of the board of county com missioners attended the meet ing at Santa Fe last week where the state's problems of revenue and expenditure was discussed.

Dr. Tincher is a man of national renown and comes to us with a message .full of great thots. ciety and those who are inter ested should consult with Mrs. Neal Jenson. We also wish to organize as soon as possible an honory membership to the troop composed of leading citi zens, both men and women who wish to co-operate in af fairs of prime interest to the troop. We want you to realize that there is a place for every one, you mothers, sisters, fath ers and brotners wno are either too old or for business reasons are not able to take an active part in the regular rou tine of drill and training. I want to assure you again that you are just as welcome as you can be here tonight and hope that each of you can shed that dark coat of .dignity and reserve and enter wholeheart t.hfi entertainment that the boys have prepared for you.

Third We believe in a community that is not only safe for our own boys and girls to be reared in from a moral standpoint, but one that will attract the homeseeKer witn a family and not cause him to fear our moral integrity and thus stay away feeling it not safe for his children. fourth We approve of healthy and wholesome enter tainments, such as the Chau tauqua, Lyceum course, school socials and school athletics as Cay Sales Anywhere Any Kind of Day Prices Reasonable Satisfaction Guaranteed Auctioneer I am now prepared to handle your sales, matters not how big or how small.

We bespeak the doctrine that no man is a real man who does not adhere to the deeper things of his moral and reli gious nature, therefore we en courage the constructive spir itual forces of our town and community.
