THE HIGH CUNT WINS AGAIN
DEFEATED BRAINERD TEAM BY
Fl TO 20 SCORE SECOND .
TEAM LOST IS

Little Falls high quint was victori-
Gus again Saturday evening, defeating
the Brainerd high five at Brainerd by
= margin of one point, in a very fast
game, featured by exceptionally close
guarding. The score was 81 to 20. The
second team from here met defeat at
the hands of the Brainerd second team
by score Of to 2.
In basket shooting the Braineru
quint was ahead Of the locals, getting
nine field BASKETS to our eight, and the
game was won on free throws, Dobbyn
making five out of six while Falconer
for Braincrd was able to get but two
out of six. Sims, Levin and Dobbyn
lid the scoring for Little Falls, the
first named getting four baskets and
the others two each.
The preliminary game between the
second teams probably would have re-
suited in a different score had the reg
ular second team from here been used,
but this team was out, of commission
and instead the lightweights were used.
Tourtillott and Richard, first team SUBJ
stitutes, were put in toward the end
Of the game and the former succeeded
in getting the only tally registered by
the local second team.
Following is the lineup and summary
OF the two games:

He was accompanied by Math. Haus-

Personal taxes are now due and the
way arrangements are, persons either
D. - nav them i'll person or
send them to the county treasurer and
whenever sent the treasurer will
obliged 10 hail a receipt involving ex-
pense to both parties. Of course they
can also be paid at the nearest local
banks, but the banks again charge
some for sending it to the county treas
urer These expenses again have to be
paid by the tax payers. In some coun-
ties the treasurer visits the different
banks outside the county seat through
out the county, where people can pay
to the treasurer direct, and it would
be good plan in our county. Arrange
ents could also be made then whenever
taxes are paid at the bank. The re-
spective bank could credit the county
with the amount, which could be left
right at the bank, as county funds are
deposited in most every bank within
the county. This plan would again
save the expenses Of sending the mon
cy. from the bank to the county treas
urer and the treasurer would not be
obliged to send such moneys as town
and school district funds back to the
local bank, where it originally come:
If the county commissioners will adopt
any Of the last two plans, or leave
things the way they are at present, is
question to be pondered. +-

STARS AND STRIPES

When you see the Stars and
Stripes displayed, son, stand up,
and take off your hat
OF all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is never
another so full of meaning as the
flag of this country.
That piece of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years
Of struggle upward. 1t is the full
blown flower of ages of fighting for
liberty. 1t is the century plant of
human hope in bloom.
1t means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, of the helots
Of Greece, of the human chatteIs Of
Rome, of the vassals of feudalism,
of the serfs of Russia, of all who
have crawled from the cradle to
the grave through all time
Our flag stands for humanity,
for an equal opportunity to all the
sons of men. Of course, we haven't
arrived yet at that goal there ATE
many injustices yet among us,
many senseless and cruel Gus
toms of the past still clinging to
us, but the only hope of righting
the wrongs of men lies in the feel
ing produced in our bosoms by the
sight of the flag.
1t stands for no race. 1t is not
like and English, French or German
flag. 1t stands for men, men of
any blood who will come and live
with us under it's protection. 1t is
the only banner that means man
kind.
1t stands for the only great ma
tion on earth free from the curse
and burden of militarism and de-
voted to the arts of peace.
Other flags mean a glorious past,

SUNLIGHT is A CHEAP AND
POWERFUL DISINFECTANT.
1T IS ALSO A GOOD TONIC

Sunshine is one of the greatest
germ-kiIlers known The custom
of hanging clothing, bedding, rugs
and the like out in it is a splendid
one, and more people should join in
the practice. No one need think,
however, that just because this
practice was INDUCED in in the
spring and fall that his house will
remain germless and clean for the
rest of the year All the windows
blinds and doors should be opened
every day and all the sunshine and
air admitted that is possible. and in
addition to this a weekly open air
sunbath should be given to the
household belongings them
right out into the sunlight and let
them spend the day in it. 1t
should be pointed out here, how
ever, that this will not kill bed
bugs; such vermin require more
strenuous methods.
When you build your new mouse,
II possible, let it's four corners (not
sides) point to the cardinal points
OF the compass. If the corners point
respectively to the north, east,
south and west, every room in the
house will get sunshine at some
time during each fair day.
1t is quite the fashion to nut
toilets down in dark Easements. or
IN remote, poorly ventilated, dark
corners. When people more fully
appreciate the germicidal power of
sunlight this practice will be
changed and the water-closets VIII
be put in places that are flooded
both with light and air. If ally
place, more than another, needs the
oxiding power of air and the bac-
tericidal effects of the suns rays,
that place is the toilet.
The lower animals through in,
stinct frequently stretch themselves
out in the sunshine Human be
lngs would do well to take a lesson
from them. Scientists know that
the rays of the sun stimulate the
production of new red blood cells
How important is it then that weak.
rundown, anaemic individuals
should get out and walk and bask
in the lifegiving, energy-renewing
sunshine!
II you are weak, get out into
Gods great ''out-of-doors". that
your strength may be renewed: if
you are strong, get out into the
open that your strength may be
preserved.

this flag a glorious future. 1t is
not so much the flag of our fathers
as it is the flag of our children, and
of all children's children yet I'M
born. 1t is the flag of tomorrow
1t is the signal OF the Good time
Coming. 1t is not the flag of your
king, it is the flag of yourself aud
of all your neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your
throat cnokes and the tears come,
as you see it flying from the mast of
a ship in the bay of Gibraltar or
the port of Singapore. You will
never have worthier emotion.
1t stands for the quick against
the dead, the youth of the world
against its senility
1t stands for the open door of
ambition against the closed door of
caste.
1t stands for the stability of Wig
orous growth against the fixedness
of hoary institutions.
1t waves defiance at all ghosts,
they that have for long intimidated
men: the ghost of monarchy, the
ghost of aristocracy, the ghost of
war, the ghost of ecclesiastic rule;
all that still lay shadowy hands up
on the life of Europe and Asia.
And wnen at last shall convene
at The Hague that august ''parlia-
ment of man and federation of the
world what better ensign could be
hoisted above their deliberations
than the flag of the United States
of America, which has never stood
for the narrowness of race nor the
pride of blood, but always and only
for human rights?

WHAT THEY WORE ON EASTER
DAY.
By KATE KILBY.
The fire was buring brightly,

me lire was burlng brightly,
And the hum of girlish chat
Drifted in upon my reveries,
AS | in the shadows sat.
Two sweet young girls were plan
ming
WHAT they'd wear on Easter Day
One said I'll wear deep roses red
On a hat of soft, pale gray.
My gown shall be some silky stu :,
In the latest fashion made,
The colOrs to match my hat OF
course,
The same soft, silvery shade.
About the neck I'll nave a fall
OF creamy, filmy lace;
And at the throat some red rosc
buds
To hold the folds in place.
For somebody likes red roses
With that pretty shade of gray,
And | think I'd like to please aim
Just because tbs Easter Day"
The other said, 81 think I'll wear
A stylish suit of blue,
Like the one l saw up town today
Twas something entirely new;
I'll have pretty broad trimmed nat
The colors to match my gown,
With roses deeply tinged with pink
In garland round the crown.
And I'm to sing an anthem
At church on Easter Day,
Something about the angel
Who rolled the stone away;
And something about the women
Who came in the morning gloom.
And who found the blessed Saviour
Had left the dreary tomb"
On happy girls! we did not know
That Easter had in store
For us sad hearts, a lonely home
With crepe upon the door.
We folded the gown of soft-pale
silk
And laid it out of sight,
And the one who'd planned to wear
it
We robed in spotless white.
She did not need the Dainty hat.
With its royal roses red,
But we scattered fragrant lilies
Round her pillowed coffin's head.
And somebody brought waite
roses
And placed them on her breast.
AS she lay so still and peaceful.
Like little child at rest.
And the one who'd planned to wear
TAe stylish suit of blue.
We dressed That Easter morning.
In suit of sable hue
And she sang no Easter anthem.
That morning bright and fair;
No joyous strains of music
Floated out on the balmy air.
But the choir in voices soft and
Sang a sweetly comforting song.
something about the waiting.
That would not be very long,
And something about the meetine
When our days on earth are DER
Ana We are gathered one by one
Safe on the Heavenly shore.
ana something about the mansions
In our Fathers house above.
Where there'l be no more sad
parting
From the dear ones that we love.
