RESULTS Of THE ELECTION
VETS WIN BY 275-SCHAILERE,
ELLENHECKER, LYON AND
JOHNSON WIN

Main interest in Tuesdays election
was centered in the vote on license.
This was due in great measure to the
fact that the matter was voted on for
the first time in this city. License re-
ceived $50 votes and no-license 375
votes, the latter receiving a much larg-
er vote than either side expected.
There were 1912 votes polled.
Out Of twelve Offices which were
filed, there was opposition Tor but
four. City Clerk Victor Schallern was
reelected to that office over L. A.
Doherty by majority Of STA votes.
Frank Ellenbecker defeated Lyman
Signor for the assessors Office by the
narrow margin of II votes. Mr.. Sig
nor was candidate for reelection. In
the contest for municipal judge, F. w.
Lyon won over Geo. Gerritz by a ma
jority Of 1853. Geo. NJ. johnson was
elected alderman from the Third ward
by a majority Of % over S. r. Fortier,,
who against his own better judgment,
filed at the request Of Numerous citi-
zens of the west side. J. s. Murphy
was elected alderman from the Second
ward without opposition.
The city council held special meet
ing last night to .anvass the election
returns but this was after going to
press so the official returns could not
secured. It is not likely that any
changes will be made, however. Fol-
lowing is the unofficial vote:

FANS WILL DISCUSS PLANS FOE
- A TEAM FOR THE COM
ING SEASON

With the return of Charles Sylvester
of the baseball committee from the
west, baseballdom has awakened in
Little Falls and a meeting z.has been
, called for tonight to discuss the base
ball proposition for the coming season.
The meeting will be held at the city
hall and all who are interested in hav-
ing Little Falls on the baseball map
should attend. III
Most fans favor a salaried team sim
liar to those Of the past two seasons.
The baseball committee now has a
neat sum in it's treasury, which has
been made by giving benefit dances
during the past winter. It is estimat-
ed that about $500 will be needed to
; carry a salaried team THROUGH the sea-
son and ways and means of raising this
money will be discussed at the meet
ing tonight.
St. Cloud will have a very strong
team this year, according to Cy Olson
of Minneapolis, who has leased the ball
park at that place and who will Or
ganize a team there. Brainerd is also
talking baseball. There the manage
ment Of the team will be placed in the
hands of seven directors Of the Athle-
tic club and will be handled on cash
! basis, if present plans materialize.
, Mr.. Fan, make it a point to attend
the baseball meeting tonight and help
get things started.

State REDUCES INTEREST
FOUR PER CENT Is NEW RATE ON
ALL FUTURE STATE LAND
CONTRACTS

Easier conditions for the purchase
of state lands are provided in a new
statute amending the previous law.
Heretofore settlers who were able to
pay for their lands within ten years
were required to pay interest at the
rate Of 5 per cent year on the un-
paid balance, but the new law allows
the purchaser to pay up at any time
within the 40-year period and the in
terest rate remains constant at per
cert 1T any stage.
J. A. 0. Preus, state auditor, has
sent circular letter to the county au-
ditors containing the following instruc-
tions:
"Four per cent becomes the rate of
interest on all land contracts.
"The annual interest, payable on
June l of each year, NAV be paid any
time during the year without penalty.
Interest becomes delinquent if not paid
within the interest year and penalty
should be figured at the rate of IL per
cent per annum.
"The unpaid princinal NAV now be
paid at any time within 40 wears from
sale at the annual rate of per cent.
The additional l per cent interest
charge heretofore collected when the
principal had been paid within ten
years from sale is eliminated.
eff person wishes to pay up on
his land he may do so at any time by
paying the principal and the interest
figured from June l to date Of pay
ment. Where 1914 interest is paid
during March. April or Nav, 1915, nen-
altv should be figured to March l only,
but in case it is paid after June l, fig
ure to date of payment. Figure nenaltv
of 1913 and prior years to date Of ~ay-
ment.'
County auditors collect payments
and interest on state lands.

TAG day WAS BIG SUCCESS
LOCAL LADIES RAISED $293.05
FOR WOMEN'S BUILDING =.
ST. PATRICK'S DA.

St. Patrick's Day was an unusually
lively one in Little Falls this year.
Hardly a person could be found who
Iii! not wear the green On that day.
Here's the reason. The ladies Of Lit
tie Falls, anxious to get a women 9
exhibit building at the county fair
grounds, decided that St. Patrick 8
Day would be a good day on which to
raise funds for the building, so they
arranged for a tag day. Ladies were
stationed at every corner in the busi-
ness section of the city, on the east
side and west side. Every person who
happened by was stopped and tagged
box. The merchants furnished the rib
bons free Of charge and Mrs. Rose
Miller treated the ladies to lunch at
noon.
The ladies worked hard all day and
when evening came one they had rails
ed the neat sum Of $29305. This in
cluded the money received by the
teachers of the various schools, who
had charge of the work of tagging the
pupils. They are very we'll satisfied
with the success Of the undertaking.
1t is estimated that about $1,000
will be needed in order to erect good
building. No definite plans have yet
been made for raising the balance of
the needed money, but it is likely that
concert or an entertainment Of a
similar nature will be given. Surround
ing towns are taking up the work and
already the local committee has been
assured Of help from Swanville. Roy
alton, Swan River, Darling, the Brick
yards and other places.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(Sydney S. Kaye J

The high school orchestra gave three
very pleasing numbers in the presence
of the high school assembly Friday,
March 5. The only criticism we have
to offer is that they were ''stingy'
and didn't give us enough.
The records Of Victrola program last
week, March 4, were very kindly fur
nishe.! by Mrs. L. NJ. Roberts. The
citizens are responding very we'll to
our desires and the student body feels
that they cannot thank them enough
for their kindness.
The short course was brought to a
final close Friday, March 5. There
was an attendance Of eight in the
course and they all seemed to be very
interested in tn cir work. Some Of
the many things that they did while
at the short course were to visit the
different progressive farmers of the
county, where they inspected buildings
and learned how to make nlans for
the best ones; they inspected the stock
and learned the better way of taking
care Of stock; they learned new meth
obs of farming; they learned how to
keep accurate accounts Oh liabilities
and resources of the farm; they made
many useful articles for their work on
the farm; they learned the value of
cream testing, and in general they ear
ried away with them much better
knowledge Of the farm and I dare say
they will be much more interested in
the science and art Of farming than
they were before. The high school
students miss them, now that they are
h,1& 10 wish fbo+ orc4hor
year is passed they will be again il
our midst and that they will also in
terest others who desire to be better
farmers. We too have learned more
of the value Of farm life and find that
it is one Of the modern day sciences
and we wish to take off our hats Ito
YOU. Mr.. Farmer, for we begin to re- al-
ize who you are, in other words we are
becoming acquainted with you and
your ways.
In order to give the short course
boys a better chance the periods were
changed around in such way that
the third and fourth period classes re-
cited the seventh and eighth periods.
They have been changed back now, to
the original routine.
The program that is to be given to-
day consists of the following, taking
up the pictures, statues and other
things Of interest in the assembly
room, with exception of monologue
and the music.
Monologue-Myrtle Lee.
Joan Of Arc-Joe Tomelty.
Handel-Henry Sutliff.
Portia-Richard Meyers.
Aurora-Calisle Palmer.

Monologue-Eloise Richie.
