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.

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.

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.
