PATRIOTIC SPEECHES, PARADE,
BALL GAME, OTHER SPORTS
JULY FOURTH

This year of all years, the people Of
Little Falls will observe the anniver-
sary of our Nation s birth and celebrate
it as never before. We are in the same
sort of fix we were at the time of the
birth Of the Nation, only at that time
we were fighting for liberty, this time
we are fighting to keep our liberty. For
this reason President Wilson has issued
a proclamation urging the people of our
country to observe the coming ami
versary, and in keeping with his procla-
nation we are going to have one of the
grandest celebrations ever held in this
city. Everybody throughout the county
is cordially invited to attend the fes-
tivities and help make it, what it should
be, grand success.
The committee in charge are in COM
munication with several speakers and
it is expected that prominent and able
speaker will be obtained for that day.
The address will be given at II a. m.
Immediately following the parade.
The parade is under the supervision
of F. w. Dobbyn, Chas. Sylvester and
Geo. Emder and promises to be grand

ITEMS band which will be followed by
school children and numerous floats. The
parade will start at 10 a. m. and fol-

At p. m. the local baseball aggre-

trenches.
The evening entertainment holds
forth for you something which you can
ill afford to miss, a pageant in which
900 will take part. It will take place

nifcent exhibitions ever put on in Lit
tie Falls. The pageant is under the
management of Mrs. L. D. Brown and
Miss Pauline Mckenzie.
The living flag composed of about 300
school children is another spectacle we'll

A regulation that has not been very
much enforced in this city is that of
parking automobiles at an angle on the
Streets when left standing. By parking
cars at an angle more cars can be placed
in q block and it is also much easier
to get out when there are number of
cars parked together. This regulation
is now being enforced and automobile
owners are expected to abide by it. ! L

TWO RIVERS IS OVER
FIRST TOWNSHIP TO PUT WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS QUOTA
OVER

The first township cover the top.''
That's the distinction the town Of Two
Rivers has gained in the War Savings
Stamp drive. The quota of Two Rivers
and the village Of Bowlus is $4,000,
and the amount reported in is $l9,sO5,
over s., 900 above the mark. The COM
mittee, working under John Doll as
chairman have done excellently, and
are confident Of raising the amount by
$4,000 more. j
On account of various other matters
calling for the attention of the solici-
tors, the drive has been rather slow,
but will take on activity in an earnest
endeavor to put the county over the
quota.
A few other townships which will
reach their quotas in the near future.
As the drive has been in operation
but a short time definite information
as to the exact progress Of the drive
cannot be obtained as the officers of
the different townships have not made
full reports Of their sales Of stamps.
The townships which reported their
sales to date are Granite, 1880; Belle
Prairie, $5060;, Darling, $4,000. Cush-
ing has also reported satisfactory re-
suits.
If you have made a pledge to buy
War Savings Stamps and desire to OBJ
tain the benefit Of the June price of
$4.17 per stamp, you should purchase
them before July l., as on that date the
cost increases to $4.1S, as the value Of
the stamps increase one cent each
month. If your pledge card is not on
file at the place designated by you, pur-
chase your stamps regardless, and then
when you buy the following month $
allotment, which you have pledged to
buy, present your certificate and you
will receive credit for all of the stamps
on same. The pledge cards are being
received daily at the W. S. S. head
quarters, Board of Commerce rooms, but
proper record will have to be made Of
all the pledges, before the cards can be
sent to the respective agencies. This
is being done. as rapidly as possible.

FARM BUREAU LAUNCHES CAM.
PA1GN TO INSURE SEED FOE
FUTURE PLANTING

The members of the Morrison ,Coun-
ty' Farm Bureau Executive committee,
representing Crop Improvement Inter
ests and the Morrison county Farm Bu-
reau manager have launched a plan
whereby the farmer Of Morrison county
may be certain to have ample seed corn
tor next years planting, and surplus
for the year following.
This is the slogan Of the campaign,
"Select an Ample Supply of Good Seed
Corn in the Fall Of 1913 for Two Years
Needs.'
It is proposed to carry out the cam
paign:
(D By encouraging every farmer to
select from suitable fields and properly
cure and store enough seed corn on his
own farm to supply his needs for two
years.
(2) By encouraging one or more
special seed-growers in each township
or community tofprovide special facii-
ties for storing a larger quantity of
seed corn from fields planted with se-
lected seed Of varieties that have long
been recognized as standard for the
locality.
The first method will insure supply
of seed for general planting. Under
the second method the special seed corn
grower will serve the community in
corn improvement as the pure bred live
stock breeder serves the community in
the improvement Of the live stock in
dustry.
It is particularly important that the
second method be carried into effect, as
a miscellaneous lot of seed was plant
ed this year, much Of which was grown
a considerable distance away from the
county. The corn planted from su.
perior local seed should be made the
foundation stock for future planting in
the county. Corn growers having such
fields will be encouraged to build spe.
cial facilities for the saving of all the
seed possible.
A survey Of the county is now in
progress to locate every possible field
planted with good local seed stock.
In carrying out the first method ev
cry corn grower will be encouraged to
equip his farm with simple homemade
contrivances for curing and storing
such seed for two years planting il
this has not already been done.
The Farm Bureau office has con
structed and secured samples Of variou!
devices for use in economical curing
and storing of seed corn for use il
demonstrations. It has also secured
blueprints and drawing of seed houses
which may be built on the farm wher'
it is intended to make seed corn grow
