FINE EASTER DINNER
Landlord Spence Served an Excel.
lent Dinner Sunday

A large crowd gathered at
the National Sunday for dinner.
The dining rooms were beauti
fully decorated for the occasion
and elaborate preparations were
made or entertaining b
guests.
One minister in the city who
took dinner there. told Us that
four years ago he had occasion
to eat dinner at the Baltimore
in Kansas City. but the neatly
printed menu card, the excellent
dinner, and the manner in which
it was served at the National
Sunday, was so lar ahead of the
Baltimore. there was no com.

feel proud that the National

standard and fills d long felt
want. They should give il tbeiT
liberal patronage.

The debate between the Falls
City and Tecumseh high schools,
was held in the court house last
Saturday night before a good
crowd.
The subject was compulsory
arbitration in the settlement OF
the differences between the rail.
roads and employees. Tecumseh h
favored compulsory arbitration
and Falls City opposed it.
Reavis Gist urged the uncon-
Stitutionality of h e proposed
scheme in legal argument of
unusual excellence an d showed
conclusively that it was in viola
ton of the 18th and 18th amend
ments to the constitutions
Miss Louise Rule argued the
inexpedieney of compulsory arbi-
tration. Her argument W $
clear and concise and was deliv-
cred in a way that brought JOY TO
her friends and partisaus.
Xergil Falcon contended that
rigid enforcement of present
laws would render any additional
legislation, such as compulsory
arbitration, unnecessary.
Messrs Davidson, Chamberlain
and Davis were the Tecumseh de-
baters.
The Judges were unanimous
for Falls City.
