"Woolnough will come to Bemidji as scheduled on Wednesday, -for on that day the Bemidji association holds its weekly luncheon and it would be a splendid opportunity to hear these military officers discuss the merits of having a guard unit in a community, like Bemidji is. . There seems to be no question but that Bemidji will have a unit of the Minnesota national guard and the city has the site purchased for the erection of an armory and for which an $8,000 bond issue hiad been voted as its share just prior to the outbreak of the war. Bemidji also set the state record monthly in enlistments for Uncle Sam’s service for several months, the N . lead being per capita, per quota per population, and could un- questionably organize one of the best companies in the state, .of the same red-blooded stock that rushed to answer the call of the colors. i : And we believe the members would be proud of their com- pany and so would the state’s military heads and the state at - large. —_—— THE SKY PILOT. . In times past we have been accustomed to refer to the preacher as “a sky pilot.” The name stuck, whether it pleased the preacher or not. But it remained for preacher himself to justify in fact the appellation applied in jest. Lieutenant Maynard, a chaplain in the United States army, carried off the honors in a cross country distance flight, in which e ten aviators lost their lives. 3 \ .As a sky pilot he is a pr imved success, for his feat required nerve and judgment of ‘An"exceptionally high order. Now if he can preach as well as he can fly he should be able in time to tell the truth to the average congregation and get away with it. g D Score one for the sky pilot. ' Well, did you set your watch-and clock back one hour - before you went to bed Saturday night?
