DAY EVENING

+ It will be all over but the shouting
Monday evening at O'Clock. The
shouting will have to come q itt!c
later when all the credits are counted
and the totals checked up, for then
the prize winners in the Little Falls
Herald Auto club will be decided.
There is no telling. who will do the
shouting and even at this late hour
it would be guess work to pick favor,
ties. No one knows and no one will
know until the last ballot is counted.
It is seldom in an enterprise of this
kind that the race is so close. If cei-
tain of the members knew how close
they really are they would undoubt'
edly exert little extra effort. It has
often 6een said, eff had only known
needed a few more subscriptions ]
would have gone out after them" A
few extra subscriptions might make a
big change in the outlook.
Work Now to Count
No one wants to be a good loser
unless he finds he cannot be q winner.
Don't waste a minute thinking over
what you would do if you lose, but
secure yourself place among the win
ners. Make up your mind to do y,nr
best between now and Saturday night
and then come in with big bunch of
subscriptions. Credits and su;'scrip'
tions will be received in the Auto club
department until p. M: Saturday.
Please facilitate the judges by coming
early.
Those to Be Judges
Immediately after the close OF the
Auto club the ballot box will be tnrn-
ed over to the judges, who will start

aERPS TAKEN ny FARMERS TO
GET SUCH A MAN FOR NOR

The first steps necessary in securing
a county agent in this county were
taken Tuesday afternoon at meeting
OF farmers and local business men t
the court house., when temporary or
ganization was effected for this pur-
pose. - -
The government has so arranged it
that if the county raises $1,000 a year
for a county agent: the, government
will give $1,000 per year toward EN-
ploying such man, providing the
farmers organize society consisting
Of not less than $50 members in the
county and raise at least $500, or 81
per year per member for two years.
The county commissioners were ap-
preached in the matter and they prom
ised to contribute $1,000 q year for a
county agent: -

ed president and H. A. Hanson Of
Green Prairie secretary. Frank Krick-
ler Of Pike Creek, Charles Sylvester of
this city and Carl Peterson Of Green

farmers lined up and later big meet
ing, to which every township in the
county will be asked to send represen'
tatives, viii be called to perfect or.
3anization. It is hoped that several
times the number of members required
will be secured.
=. A. kirkpatrick of the university

sition. #
It has been the desire Of farmers
in this county for long Time to get

POTATOES IN PITS SHOULD HAVE
PLENTY COVERING

Dealers in potatoes report that in
looking over potatoes that have been
in pits that in very large number of
cases they have been found badly
frost bitten and in some cases very
much frozen. A goodly covering Of
straw and dirt Is said to answer very
well for their protection. No doubt
on account Of the experiences already
had, farmers J. VII ,bes more careful in
