The verb to get is one of our
much misused words. 1t means 10
acquire, win, obtain, and primarily it
signifies the putting forth of effort
to attain something. Consequently
it is not only superhuous, but
incorrect, to speak of a man as
getting drowned" getting SICK"
and you may unfortunately "have a
cold" but it is impossible that you
have got a cold" At this moment
no exceptions occur to the writer TO
the rule that got should never be
used in connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses posses
sion. Say Il have the picture, not
Il have got the picture" THE
dog has broken Leg" not THE
dog has got a broken Leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are

charge of the ballot box, hand him
his ballot to be placed in the box,

voter who declares to the presiding
officer that he is unable to read, or
that by reason Of any physical dis
ability he is unable to mark his bal
lot, can have the assistance of one
or two election officers in marking
the same, to be chosen by the voter;
and if he declares that he is totally
blind, he may be assisted by any per-
son chosen by him from among the
legal voters ofthe county. The pre-
siding officer may administer an oath
in his discretion, as to such PERSONS
disability. The party designations
and candidates for the different Of
fees are, for example, as follows:

The Oratorical Contest.

One of the largest audiences that
ever greeted a local declamatory con-
test assembled in the M. E. Church
Friday evening to listen to the boys
of the high school contest for the
honor of representing River Falls in
the league contest. The public has
come to expect something good at
these contests and it was not dis
appointed this time. From first to
last the selections were we'll hand
led, all the speakers exhibiting
marked ability.
There were eight contestants, and
| the selections chosen were parts of
standard orations and literature.
Most of the speakers were appear
ing before the public for the first
time, and their work certainly
gives promise Of strong contests in
the future. The decision of the
| judges gave first place to Earl
Whitcomb, second place to Ray
mond Thayer, and third to Frank
Pomeroy, the others all being close
up, decision which met with gen
eral approval.
Mr.. Whitcomb will represent the
high school in the league contest
at Hudson to-morr ow evening,
and he goes to the contest with the
best wishes of every one here. The
music for the contest was furnished
by the high school girls glee club
opening the program. There was also
a piano solo by Miss Bertha Jensen,
a vocol solo by Miss Ames, and a
selection by double quartet of the
teachers from the public school.
The closing number of the program
was medley by an orchestra led by
Thomas Snodgrass. 1t was well
done. Indeed, the whole program
was a credit to the school, and was
very pleasing to the large audience
that listened to it.

frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay is an
active or transitive verb, and lie is
passive or intransitive. We lay
things down or have laid them
down, but we and things lie at rest.
You lie down, have lain down, will
lie down or are lying down; she lay
down yesterday and is going to lie
down this afternoon. A frequent
error is to confound the past lenses
of these verbs. One should say,
Mary laid the book on the table and
lay down herself" but the book lies
on the table.

81 900 TREES PLANTED
At STATE RESERVATION
They Were Set at the Rate of
1900 Daily.
RABBITS Do MUCH DAMAGE

". Fl. Freeman, secretary of the In
diana state board of forestry, has re
turned to Indianapolis, from a sojourn
of several weeks on the state forestry
reservation near Henryyille The
work of planting the 57.o03 young
trees on the reservation has been corr
pleted.
Mr.. Freeman was assisted in this
work by force of twelve men. The
trees were planted at the rate of
1900 day, the method employed be
ing rather unique. With the aid of 4
team of mules and a plow, long fur
rows were made ACROSS the fields Fol
lowing the pillow number OF men
came along with a wagon load Of
sprouts, which were set upright in the
burrows. Then the mules returned
with the pillow and d furrow was male
on each side of the one containing the
trees. These burrows threw the dirt
around the trees and left them in al
upright position.
The rabbits have killed thousands
of trees on the reservation. said Mr.
Freeman. Next year we Will allow
all who please to come at any time
they please and kill all the rabbits
they please"
Work on the administration build
ing will be resumed May /. Road
making will also begin shortly.

HEARST URGES THIRD PARTY.

William Randolph Hearst, being I'M
able to handle the democratic party 20
his liking, has come out for a third
party and modestly names himself as
its candidate for the presidency. Mr..
Hearst's declaration was made at the
Independence League dinner in New
York Saturday night. He calls for the
organization of a third great national
party, which shall go before the cou1-
try as the advocate of honest meas
ures. honest methods and honest
men," In Mr.. Hearst's opinion the
Independence league will fill the bill.
His announcement of the broadening
of the league from state to a national
organization amounted practically 20
the serving of notice by Mr.. Hearst
that he would be in the running for the
presidential nomination in 1905
dependence league clubs are being
formed and Independent League prin-
ciples are being advocated said he
Mr.. Hearst said it seemed to him
that neither of the old parties is true
to the purposes for which it was
founded. Political battles today are
not fought on the real issues of the
day. and these issues will never be dis
cussed until some party is formed that
will stand boldly for definite principles
that will collect within its ranks all
those committed TO those principles
and that will rise or fall according Il
the verdict of the people on those prin.
ciples.''
It seemed TO Mr.. Hearst. therefore
that there is an opportunity for a new
party, founded on the old. undyine
principles of equal rights for all and
special privileges for none, "a new par
~ that will adhere TO those principles
: not only in alternate campaigns, but
in every campaign and between cam
paigns; not only in public or parade
but in private in its inner council
chamber
