SELL POPPlES NOV. II

The Auxiliary of the Ralph Oracle
post of the American Legion will sell
peoples on Armistice Day, the pro-
ceeds from the sales to 60 toward

way to help defray expenses.

CHISHOLM HIGH. LAYS !: /
HERE ARMS TICE DAY
Outcome of Tod.y's Battle
With Virgins. ! Will Practic-
!. r ally Decide North Issue -.

! Arrangements have been completed
with the Chisholm High school foot
ball eleven whereby that aggregation
will visit this city on Armistice Day
and play the fast Bemidji High school
team at the Athletic park at 1
o'clock. Considerable difficulty was
experienced in scheduling a. contest
for November II since the majority
of the larger cities are holding cele-
bration this year and desired their
own team to play at home.
Chisholm has an exceptionally
strong team this year and an inter-
esting battle is assured. All ex-
service men will be admitted to the
game free Of charge.
The outcome Of today's battle with
the fast Virginia quint hangs in the
balance with all local odds in favor
of the home eleven. Financial sup
port for the Bemidji team was not
lacking today but from all reports
the Virginians were, not to be at
tracted, since they had suspicion
that the local huskies were a trifle
too strong for them to beat. This
afternoons battle will practically de-
eide the high school championship of
Northern Minnesota. Since neither
team has been defeated this year, a
real battle was anticipated.

ticket and their congressman In the
third district. In addition they won

The Independents secured an adj
ditional congressman in O. B. Burt
ness, of Grand Forks, who with
George Young, of Valley City, return
ed from the second district, will be
the second Independent representa-
tive from that state. They appear to
have gained the five measures which
they initiated and upon which oppo-
sition was strong.
The election Of Miss Minnie Mel
sen to the office Of state superinten-
dent was bitterly combatted by the
non-partisans. The nOn-partiSanS
will not concede both houses OF the
legislature to the Independents. Both
sides claim majOrties over the other
in the senate.
Enc independents ClulIlcu lHuJoI
