Afirmativs Side ,lv, Won.

A preliminary practice debate was
>held>at the high school room last FRI
day evening. The question for debate
this year is: "Resolved, that the
policy of substantially enlarging the
United States navy is preferable to
maintaining it at its present strength
and efficiency. It's understood that
by substantially increasing is meant
the addition of at least two battle
ships each year with the necessary
subsidiary vessels" The affirm native
was represented by Carl jacobson
and Albert Porter. Raymond Spicer
was to be the third speaker but on ac-
count of illness he was unable to be
present. His part in the. main argu-
ment~was read by John Styles. The
negative side was represented by
Russell Peterson, Frank Adams and
Harrison Sherwood. The judges were
T. O. Gilbert, r. w. Stanford and A.
O. Forsberg. The affirmative side
won by vote of two to one. The
boys all did we'll on the main argu.
ment, but have not yet acquired the
necessary practice and acquaintance
with the subject to make an effective
rebuttal speech.
Carl Jacobson, Harrison Sherwood
and Albert Porter have been selected
as members of the debating team
which will take part in the league con-
tests. They are all seniors and will
no doubt make good showing for
the Willmar High school.

Carnegie medal remains unknown to
the world, for 1t is only when the hero
loses his life that his heroism is ap-
preciated and the world takes the
trouble to notice and applaud.
Lilly Thompson the thirteen year
old daughter of L. z. Thompson, per-
formed an act of heroism the day be-
fore Thanksgiving, when at the in1mi-
nent risk of her own life, she saved
her two younger sisters from drown
ing. The full particulars of the case
were not generally known and it was
only few days ago that they reached
the Breeze Office.
1t seems that the three girls had
gone out about five O'Clock in
the evening to carry in some wood
and the two younger ones were deter
mined to have slide on the lake near
by before going to the house. They
ran down onto the ice north of the
house while Lilly went to the wood
pile on the south side. AS she was
approaching the house with the wood,
the elder girl saw that her sisters had
broken through the ice. and without
stopping or calling for help, she
dropped her load and rushed. to their
assistance
With entire disregard of her own
danger the heroic girl approached the
edge of the broken ice. where her Sis
ters had almost given up the struggle.
Coolly and carefully she worked and
soon had the elder sister Mabel on the
ice, then going to the aid OF the
youngest girl who had clung desper-
ately to the edge. of the ice, but whose
strength was about exhausted as she
had already gone down twice.: the
rescuer succeeded once more in draw
