Then you must not have read this portion:

,----
|    Do not use the `mode' keyword for minor modes.  To enable or disable
| a minor mode in a local variables list, use the `eval' keyword with a
| Lisp expression that runs the mode command (*note Minor Modes::).  For
| example, the following local variables list enables Eldoc mode (*note
| Lisp Doc::) by calling `eldoc-mode' with no argument (calling it with
| an argument of 1 would do the same), and disables Font Lock mode (*note
| Font Lock::) by calling `font-lock-mode' with an argument of -1.
| 
|      ;; Local Variables:
|      ;; eval: (eldoc-mode)
|      ;; eval: (font-lock-mode -1)
|      ;; End:
