HOW ABOUT A
BASEBALL TEAM?
NEIGHBORING TOWNS PLAN FAST
TEAMS; THIS MEANS GET
BUSY HERE

Baseball plans are by this time well
under way in a number Of cities in this
section of the state, and naturally the
baseball fans in Little Falls arc begin
ming to talk baseball but as yet no
steps have been taken toward the OF
ganization OF a baseball club for the
coming summer.
or course, these who are conducting
most Of the propaganda for a baseball
team here are really fellows who would
be candidates for a berth on the team
and there are several Of these in Lit
tie Falls this winter-but others are
also talking baseball and the sentiment
seems to be that Little Falls should put
a first class team in the field or none at
all. All realize that to put a first class
team in the field means that it will be
necessary to raise Il good sized sum of
money and this is one reason, they say,
why organization should take place
now instead Of waiting until the first
warm day and then making q mad rush
for funds as we'll as perhaps a futile
hunt for good players. By organizing
now, it is pointed out, means could be
devised for raising funds in other ways
than by straight subscriptions, namely,
by giving benefit dances and various
other entertainments No one seems
anxious to start the thing, however.
That Little Falls should have a base
ball team the coming summer all seem
agreed upon and that the team must
be a good one to be in the running is
certain, judging from the plans and
being made by other
towns in this territory. st. Cloud is
lining up players for the best team in
its history. Long Prairie is going to
have fast team in the field and the
Alexandria will have a nine that
will likely surpass last years aggrega-
ton. Crosby does not expect to have
a team the coming summer but Brain
erd is planning on y East aggregation.
Several players OF 44ore than ulul-
nary ability are now i'll Little Falls:
among them being "Nig' Lane, Jim
Lappin and Schmidt, all with Crosby
last year. j. L. Wi}kus, d pitcher with
Terra Haute of the Three League last
year, has written here asking for
chance in case Little Falls is to have Il
team. Others mentioned as possible
for berths Oh a team here
are Anderson, Lindahl and Pratt. all
professional PLAYERS. One or two Little
Falls boys would likely try to make the
team, if given 4 chance.
Whether Little Falls is to be repre-
scented in the baseball world, the COM
ing season will no doubt be settled
within comparatively short time and
sho1ld the word be Lets &C, II Is
to be hoped that the plan will be given
whole hearted support by everyone and
a winning team put in the field.

lower transportation rates. Many
thousands Of people could be employed
on these projects. In this connection,
Mr.. Collins asked what the government
had done to help relieve the unemploy-
ment situation. He said that some
years ago employment offices were es-
tablished by the government but the
plan was later dropped and today the
government has no system whatever
for bringing the man AMI the JOB to-
gcthcr even if there is a job to be had.
Here he called attention to the steps
taken by the Knights Of Columbus six
months before the war ended to help
the unemployment situation, the com"
ing of which wasSfhen inevitable. En-
ployment bureaus were established
throughout the United States with a
corps Of $4,000 picked men to find jobs
for the men. Departments were es-
tablished, including agricultural, indus
trial, business, professional and voca-
tional. This last one was very much
needed, Mr.. Collins said, as statistics
showed that 20 per cent Of the mon in
the military service were below the
average of the child seven years old i'll
educational development. Last year,
$4,000 lads graduated from tue ITO vo-
cational schools conducted by the
Knights of Columbus. Employment has
been found by the organization for
$4,000 ex-service men.
Harmony, according to Mr.. Collins,
was responsible for Che result obtained
by the X. G. employment bur aus and
schools. He then stated that the lack
0: harmony is evident in the nati'ns cf
the WORLD, in tno faulty auI between
capital and labor. In conclusion he
said that the way to harmony is
through service, and each letter Of tie
! word "service'' has significance, he
said. The first letter stands for sacri-
, fee, which must be the cornerstone Of
service; the letter 'e'' stands for edu-
cation which means normal principles
and values and laws; the letter ''r''
! stands for the republic in which we
live, where love and friendship dwe'ls;
the letter "v'' stands for vision, a
vision Of morality, justice and equality
without which the people will perish ;
the letter "i'' stands for industry,
which is so essential to the welfare and
prosperity of nation; the letter .'c''
stands for character, and no man ever
succeeds unless he has character; the
letter "e'' stands for enthusiasm,
which was responsible for the American
! boys victory in the world war. En-,
thusiasm is needed in order to get on
| without strife and working together
for the common cool without record
for religious differences should he the
! aim of evervOne eva ,u,n # IN o,,,
God, to our country and to ourselves
to give service,' Mr.. Collins said in
! conclusion.

Maud Moon Weycrhaeuser hall Of Ora
ham Mari, baritone, of London. Eng
land, one of the foremost singers of
the day. He was greeted by capacity
audience.
Mr.. Mari sang FIVE groups OF songs.
Of which the numbers in the first two
groups were all Italian and French.
His last group consisted of fonr Eng
lish songs and one Scotch. Mr. Mari
saved for his last song S'The Pauper IS
Drive,' one of Homer's best compost
tions and to many Of Mr.. Mari IS hear
ers the best number on the program.
Comment on Mr.. Morr's voice and
singing is unnecessary but one cannot
avoid some mention Of the best there
is in music-and Little Fails people
have enjoyed a good share of that
"best' music in all lines. Most Of
Mr.. Marr's songs were in a nigh key
and the clearness Of his high tones WAS
truly wonderful. His enunciation was
perfect and every word Of the songs
could be heard as distinctly, as though
spoken. Unlike many prominent sing
ers, he was unaffected and he u>aile his
audience feel as though he ari they
were old acquaintance.
Good accompanies fc, singers are
about as rare as good singers, hu+ in
Kathryn Foster, Mr.. Mari had an ideal
accompanist. Her playing added mater
tally to the enjoyment of the program

Mrs. Charles Jensen, mezzosopr ano,
will give the next Musical Art club
program. They will appear at Maud

day evening, Feb. s, at SIS o'clock.
There is no need to comment on the
singing ability of these women as all
Little Falls people l5now and recognize
that and their appearance assures a
large audience.
