In tli is case the plaintiffs, who are the sons of the late Josiah Page, sued for the allowance of a claim for $1,350 for the care, of their invalid mother, which claim has been protested by the citv of Little Falls and the county of Morrison, as the allowance of the claim would wipe out any funds remaining in the estate, and which, according to the provisions of the will, should go to a city poor fund and for a clock for the county court house. As a result of this the city poor fund will be reduced to about

France has begun to call its citi­zens who reside in this country, to the colors, and several from Morrison county have been summoned, among them being Rev. Fr. A. Beyne, ^Catho­lic priest at Belle Prairie, and a farm­er residing near Ft. Ripley.

Fr. Beyne would, should he return to Franee, become lieutenant in the army and would have command of a force of one hundred and seventy men. But he does not expect to return there, as he is troubled with rheumatism occa­sionally, and he will probably file an affidavit to that effect with the French foreign office at Chicago.

The gentleman from Ripley who has been called to the colors, whose name could not be obtained before press time, has decided definitely not to re­turn, it is understood. He is a farmer and has a wife and family to support.

A goodly number of business men . turned out for the annual meeting ot) the Commercial club, which was held?! at the city-hall Monday evening. Pres­ident Frank Kiewel presided.

In the election of officers for the ensuing year the old officers were re­turned unanimously. They are as fol­lows:

President—Frank Kiewel. Yice president—-Warren Gibson. Secretary—R. B. Millard. Treasurer—Henry J. LaFond. Secretary Millard read a letter from

the state Highway commission con­cerning the Jefferson Memorial High­way, which is to be built from New Orleans to Winnipeg, through, Little Falls. The letter asked the local club to appoint, a committee to work with the commission. President Kiewel ap­pointed the following: J. K. Martin, Geo. Kiewel and R. L. Palmer. These are all good roads enthusiasts and gen­tlemen who will give this matter the proper attention. This committee, met a committee from Staples at St. Paul Wednesday to take up matters in re­lation to the proposed Jefferson high-wav.

It was decided that a part of the evening be devoted to 5 or 10-min-ute talks by the business men of the city. The opinion of the club was that the committee on the coming banquet hold over and give another in Febru­ary. The question as to whether wom­en should be invited to attend the din-, ner was taken up and created some dis­cussion. It was found that with the addition of the ladies, the hotel dining room would not accommodate the ex­pected attendance, but for the ban­quet to be held in February, it is pro­posed to have the members' wives in attendance.

Secretary Millard read a brief sum­mary of the work done by the club' during the past year. In it he stated that the club had taken up the mat-, ter of building a railro&d to Piere: had passed up a Proposition for an folks' home at the Antlers hotel; had held a splendid fret-together dinner in April, at which 120 farmers were pres­ent, and which resulted in a big boost for good roads.: had placed the road

How Can I Leave Thee

Henry E. Dow of Montana is here for a visit with his brother, Wm. Dow.

R. L. Donovan of the farm bureau of the extension division, was up to visit the Sam Hammerbeck demonstra­tion farm yesterday.

cate here and engage in business which would be in competition to our mer­chants for the local trade, but that he cave them little or no encouragement. He encouraged those which he believ­ed would make new business here, he said. In regard to the work for the comin? year he said the following:

"Why not direct the efforts of the club to encouraging more settlers for Morrison county? We have about three quarters of a million acres of land in Morrison county. Not all of it is adapted to farming purposes but very nearly all. The best figures ob­tainable give us about 2400 actual farmers or one-half section of land each.

"Our county will support 5000 more farmers. Why should we not make a concerted action to encourage immi­gration? It seems to me that this would be the wise course for the club to take. It would develop Little Falls and enrich it and strengthen our county. As to the method employed for encouraging settlers to move in here that could be decided upon later, but I believe it would mean a hearty co-operation with the real estate men of the city.

"A good live conscientious real es­tate man is the best asset any town can have. This fact is overlooked in the larger majority of places. I would leave these two suggestions with you. A regulating of the soliciting done in Little Falls and a boost for more and concerted action for encouraging set­tlers to move into our county."

Considerable discussion resulted from the suggestion that soliciting be cur­tailed in this city. The secretary stated .that during the past year, as usual, the business men had been hec­tored ^ by the same old soliciting for anything from tobacco plantation stocks to advertising in cook books. Some were^ of the opinion that .only outside soliciting should be curtailed and finally the president was instruct­ed to appoint a committee to*confer and report on the advisability oi hav­ing a committee for curtailing solicit­ing on the part of outside parties. The president appointed John Yertin, P. .T. Vasaly, R. B. Millard and N. N. Bergheim.

A bill for the salary of the secretary was allowed.

The financial report of the secretary was read and approved. The report follows: Balance, Jan. 5, 1915 $114.29 24 memberships 120.00 Road fund, B. B. Millard..... 3.00 Surplus, get-tdgether dinner.. 33.95

SIUM HAVE TEAMS IN THE FIELD

A. basketball team has been organiz­ed among the young men who attend the local business college and H. E. Biddinger, principal of the school, who is coaching them, expects to schedule a few games for this winter. There are- so few independent teams in this section of the state that it will be hard to- get very many games, however. This is the first time in several years that the college has turned out a team.

Tie quint went to Royalton yester­day afternoon to play the village team at that place, at the opera house. As the game was played after going to press, the outcome could not be given.

Since Christmas several new stu­dents have entered the school who proved to be basketball players of no mean ability. The members of the team are as follows: Robert Bran-nen, city; Earl Isherwood, Morris; By­ron Moonie, Browerville; John Peter­son, Akeley; Dwight Milliren. Henriet­ta and Clayton Dunphy of Hinckley. •

The gymnasium association will also have a team in the field this winter, one being organized at a meeting on Wednesday evening. This team will play the high school team at the Lit­tle Falls gymnasium Tuesday evening of next week, in a practice game. Games will be scheduled with inde­pendent teams throughout the state.

Following are the names of those who will compose the gym team:

Richard Meyers, captain, Sherman Levis, Robert Brannen, Harry Doten, Lester Lonarley, Chester Longley, Ir-vin Cornwell.

DIED Mrs. Fred Kasch of this city passed

away Saturday morning at St. Gab­riel's hospital, from pneumonia, after a short illness. She was 57 years of ago.

Deefeased is survived by a husband. The funeral was held from the Ger­

man Lutheran church Monday after­noon and interment was at Oakland cemetery.

Leo Grabowski, 2-year-old son of Ben Grabowski of this city, died Sat­urday. The funeral was held from St. Stanislaus church Monday morning and interment was in the Polish Cath­olic cemetery.

The little son of Mr. and Mrs. David Moran of Belle Prairie died Monday morning, at an age of 18 months. The funeral was held at Belle Prairie last Tuesday and interment was at that place.

HERBERT GOULD MAY COME HERE

Herbert Gould, the well known sing­er, who has appeared ^ere'on several

n?T^iwjsiofjp ̂ar­rangements can be made. • He is sched­uled for a conceri at "St".' April and would like to come to Little Falls from there. The Choral club ill probably arrange to have him come here under its auspices as Miss Smal­ley will bring the matter before the club at its next regular meeting, on Monday evening. Should the club de­cide favorably, the concert may in­clude several numbers by that organi­zation.

NEW PAGES BROUGHT HERE RE­CENTLY TO BE PITTED AGAINST

SAM. LAFONIVS HORSE i

Lovers of horse racing will be giv­en an opportunity to witness an, exhi­bition of' this sport on the Mississippi river track, above the Broadway bridge^, on Sunday afternoon, when the horse owned by Sam LaFond, which now holds the championship in this district^ will have to defend its title against a fast pacer owned by Burton & GVeisch of this city. The race will be called at about 2 p. m.

Tfre horse owned by Burton to Greisch was purchased very recently and arrived here Tuesday. His name is Pat Crol. LaFond and Burton have long been rivals for the honor of hav­ing the fastest horses in the city and vicinity, and this rivalry, which has for several years been smouldering, has again flamed up and as a result of it the Little Falls people are assured of some goo# races.

St. Cloud has a number of fast horses and an effort will be made to arrange races with them. Among the owners of fast horses in the Granite city are Dr. Esse, the veterinarian, John MaeKenzie and F. Scheppenberg.

WANT TO TAJVE JEFFERSON HIGHWAY FROM US

St. Cloud Times (20): Hon. E. M. Berg, of Long Prairie, county auditor of Todd county, will be in St. Cloud tomorrow for the purpose of securing the assistance of the St. Cloud Com­mercial club committee on the Jeffer­son highway for a change of the pro­posed route so as to have it go through Sauk Centre and Long Prairie. The Long Prairie people would rather have the highway take that route than via Staples in the eastern end of the coun­ty. The Todd county people have had the matter up with the State Highway commission where they have been en­couraged in the movement and it is possible that the change could be ef­fected. If this can be done it routes the highway through Stearns county and it is likely that the St. Cloud com­mittee will favor the change.

Fred Larson has resigned his posi­tion as assistant to Register of Deeds F. X. Bastien.
