Flag Pole
SCHOOL BOARD ASSISTS
Bronze Plate With Names
Of Heroes Will Be Dedi-
Gated Armistice Day

Tuesday of this week an S1-foot
flag pole raised on the north
west corner of the Public School
grounds. Old Glory will hereafter
float from this pole instead of
from the top of the High School
building where it has formerly be-
come shredded rag before it has
been replaced by new emblem.
The flag pole was installed by the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, the Women's Relief Corps,
the Grand Army of the Republic,
Robert Swift Post of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Womanis Aux
iary.
The school board has co-operat-
ed splendidly and has promised
that during the school year the flag
will be properly raised and low
cred. This duty will be perform
ed by the children of the school,
certain sections having charge of
the work for certain intervals, il
is presumed.
The flag pole is set in a cement
base six feet in the ground, stand
ing rs feet above ground. The
base at the top of the ground is
31a feet square and of sufficient
height to allow the installation of
bronze plate carrying the names
of those from this city who lost
their lives in France or camps dur
ing the World War. The plate
will be received in a few weeks and
it is planned to have it installed
and properly dedicated Armistice
Day. The plate will bear the fol-
lowing inscription:

Little Falls Pays Tribute to
Distinguished Son at
Home Coming
SAUK CENTRE HAS PART
Militia Company and Legion
Band Assisting
or's Mother There

Unquestionably the largest out
pouring of people ever assembled
in a city of less than 10000 popu-
lation is at Little Falls today to
welcome the conquering hero
Charles Lindbergh, the modest
young man who startled the world
few months ago with his history
making nonstop transatlantic
flight from New York City to Par
is.
Sank Centre will have it's part in
the festivities. Besides sending
hundreds of people from the city
and it's environs the Robert Swift
Post American Legion Band of 16
pieces will have a prominent loca-
ton in the monster parade.
Co. M. of the 206th Regt., Min
nesota National Guard of this city
headed by Capt. Roy Scott and
Lieut. Dewey O'Gara will form pari
of the guard of honor at the Blut-
cher landing field when Mr.. Lind
bergh lands in his native city about
200 P. M.
There is no manner in which the
size of the crowd could be estimat-
ed before hand. There will GER
tainly he not less than 10000 Wis
itors and the total may reach u.s.
600.
The problem of feeding the vast
multitude will be an impossible
task, and the visitor with good
judgment will carry his food sup
ply with him. The Herald under
stands that no visiting automobile
will be allowed within a couple o1
miles of the heart of the city.
The proper policing of the
monster throng is causing those in
charge of the celebration serious
thoughts. Mr.. Lindbergh's ad-
vance manager has warned the
Little Falls authorities that there is
strong likelihood that at least
800 of the slippery fingered folks
both male and female, win be
mingling with the thousands to re
heve the unsuspecting of anything
of value they may have on then
person.

and near spills and with them the ever
present expectation that those who
flirt with death may have to pay the
penalty-that is the annual 500-mile
automobile race, which will have it's
fifteenth renewal at the Indianapolis
motor speedway on May 80.
The country's greatest drivers will
compete, as in years past, for 100000
prize money and for points given to
place winners in the contest for the
1927 driving championship of the
American Automobile association.
Among the masters OF the wheel will
be Frank Lockhart, who rose from
obscurity to win year ago; Peter
DePaolo, who holds the course record
of 1O1.13 miles an hour for the Mem
orial day grind; Leon Duray, Dave
Lewis and Harry Hartz.
The 911s cubic inch motors which
appeared a year ago will be back, and
except for possibly few more cars
with driving power in front instead of
in the rear, there will be no innova-
tions. Always the possibility exists
that some "built in the barn" car
created by a dreamy youth of me-
chanical bent may make it's brief bid

selves in the lower half of the draw in
order to meet Americas foremost
can star, who is accompanying Tilden
on their present European invasion,
also was seeded in the lower half OF
the draw.
La Coste's path to the final appears
more arduouS than Tilden's.
Beside Borotra competing the lower
half of the draw are Pierre Landry
