the support of the Civic and Com
merce association was necessary to
the success of q militia company.

was up to this representative body to
make the recommendation as to who
shall officer the company.

company. His decision was to turn
the formation affairs Of the company
over to the Bemidji association with
the suggestion that it hold a smoker
for all interested in the guard COM

planned.
When the endorsement OF the Be-

mended and that. the success of the
company is assured. This will be
