The intercollegiate prohibition ora
torical contest to be held in Dallas on
May will be the greatest event Of the
college greater than basket ball,
or any athletic event, as it will be of
an instructive nature. Eight colleges
will be represented in the contest. The
admission will be 80 cents and 95
cents. Because OF the expense at
tached to working up the contest and
the amount Of cash prizes that must
be given by the college where the con-
test is held, and also because of the
limited room that is to be had in
Dallas, this admission must be
charged. The men who will speak
are men who stand high in their
classes, and who are preparing for a
work in life that will be Of benefit to
their fellow men. This contest will
not be held in Dallas again for eight
or nine years at least, and all should
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
attend. The names Of the orators will
be published next week.
