WATER TESTED
The Water Did Not Show Up at
all Bad

Mayor Abbey sent a sample of
the city water to the State Uni
versity a few days ago to be
tested. He received word from
B. Dales of that institution that
at first he thought he could easily
tell whether the water was fit to
drink or not by making a few
simple tests on it, but the water
did not show up at all badly that
way. He says the disturbance in
the water may come from one of
two things. Since the water
system is new there may have
been rust i'll the pipes and it is
scaling off, or it may be that
some clay or other dirt is carried
or stirred up when the water is
pumped.
The public can now rest as
sured that if they will be little
patient that in a short time the
city water will be first class.
Many other towns have experien-
ced the same trouble and after a
few months everything proved
to be in perfect working order and
the water was fine.

DEBATE AT PAWNEE CITY
Falls City Debating Team Went to
PaWnee Friday Afternoon

All eyes were turned toward
Pawnee City Friday night, when
our High School debating team,
consisting of Louise Rule, James
Falcon and Reavis Gist, went
there to meet their team in the
following question "Resolyed
that disputes between capital
and labor in railroad business
should be submitted to Il board
of arbitration with compulsory
power a question requiring a
great amount of work to prepare
for discussion and one upon
which reference material was
difficult to find. However our
team met the argument of their
opponents with strong conyin-
cling statements and although
the decision was given to the af-
tirmatiye it was a matter of
close marking, the weight of
argument being as great one
way as the other.
Even in defeat we are proud
of our young debaters, for each
one did credit to himself and
their coach, Prof. Hurst.
On account of illness, Virgil
Falcon, one member of the
team, was unable to go and his
brother Jimmie took his place.
When Jimmie went on the ros-
trum that night it seemed like
he was outclassed in size, age
and position IN school-he being
a freshman and all the other de-
baters in both teams being iunl-
ors or seniors-but when it came
to pluck or grit, or whatever
you may want to call if, he was
not outclassed for a minute.
The team was given a recep.
tion at the home OF Arthur and
Kenneth Wherry-two of Paw
nee's debaters - and a royal
good time was had from the
time the eco Get 'em' commit
tee met there until they started
home next morning.
Reavis Gist will represent
Falls City at Beatrice in the
Southeastern debate and Louise
Rule in the county contest at
this place.
The Judges of the DEBATE were
DR.. MaXey. Prot. Webster and
Dean Driscol, all of the State
University.
