INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE
Hamline University Will Meet Da-
kota Wesleyan in Debate on
Child Labor Question.

With two big Intercollegiate on
the evening of April 22nd, next FIJI
day evening, the debating events for
the year at Dakota Wesleyan for this
year will be over. At that time the To-
cal institution will meet Hamline Uni
versity of St. Paul in debate here
! with one team while another will do
bate with Yankton College at that
place. With a record of six straight
victories in debate up till the defeat
administered by Carleton College of
Northfield, Minnesota, last year. Da-
kota Wesleyan has bright prospects
for maintaining this brilliant record,
The question to be debated here
with Hamline is: Resolved. That
the Federal Government Should En-
act a Law forbidding the carriers of
interstate commerce to transport, O:
accept for transportation the pro ucts
OF any factory or mine in which chill.
dren under IA years Of age are EN-.
ployed or allowed to work. This is to
apply to interstate commerce onlv,
Constitutionality granted" Wesley
an will maintain the negative side OF
the resolution through the speakers
Walter Grill, John S. Chapman, and
Bernie B. Dean. This is the first time
that any have appeared in an inter.
collegiate contest but their previous
experience in several hard fought
local inter-society debates will stand
them we'll in hand. Two years age
Hamline "a defeated by Dakota
Wesleyan with a team composed OF
Fred R. Smith, a member of the class
of 1910. c. E. Evans, and John v
Dobson. Some interest attaches +c
this debate in view of the fact that
President Kerfoot is an alumnus OF
the Minnesota institution.

CENSUS STARTED FRIDAY
Persons Who Have Been Appointed t,
Take the Census of Mitchell and
Dawson County.

Friday began the work of TAX
ing the census of Mitchell and Davi-
son county. The job is a big one, in
that there are so many questions to
be asked and answered. The public
has been pretty we'll informed as to
the nature of the questions and have
had time to brush up their memory
on +ulngs desired.
A month or SO ago a competitive
examination was held under the civil
service rules to appoint enumerators,
and a statement has just been re-
ceived from D. D. Wipf, in charge of
the first district. giving the names OF
the people appointed to the work in
this city and county.
For the city John D. Holleran has
the First Ward, Earl B. Rowley the
Second Ward, Mrs. Jennie o. Slade
the Third Ward and G. w. Walrath
the Fourth Ward.
The country precincts will be taken
by Merle B. Brady, Guy w. Cook, G..
H. Parrett, of this city, Urban Steich-
en-, of Ethan and Geo. w. Lawrence,
of Mt. Vernon.
1t is desired that the citizens of the
city make every possible effort to
cooperate with the enumerators who
have charge of counting the resi-
dents of the city. 1t is possible that
some maybe out Of town while the
enumerator is at work, and in that
case provision ought to be made to
see hat they are counted. Commits
sioner Ness, of the Commercial Club,
will look after this matter and any
information along this line that is
left with him will be carefully look
ed after.

VIII be debated with Yankton, ONLY
the words industrial establishments
Wal be substituted for the words
factory or mine" and the question
or constitutionality is not considered.
The negative side of this resolution
is also defended by the local debaters.
me team is composed of Herbert A.
Hardy, Lawrence Todnem, and Mil
lard b. Kennedy. This is the first
time that Yankton and Mitchell have
eve met in debate, although they
have always been close rivals in ora
torlcal and athletic contests. Yank-
ton has to her credit in debate, a
string OF five victories and one de-
feat.
The same question will also be de-
bated simultaneously between the
State Agricultural College at Brook
ings and Yankton at the former place.
Brooking will also have another team
meet the debaters from the North
Dakota Agricultural College at the
same time with the same question,
thus making six debates at the same
time and with the same question of
child labor. This question was ORR
ginally submitted by Brookings to
her two opponents, Yankton then
passing it on to Mitchell, and she at
ter some alterations submitting it to
Hamline. The result of the six de-
bates should establish thoroughly the
merits or dement's of the question.
Anere is some agitation over the
question Of sending a delega-
ton to the debate at Yankton with
a special train. A sufficient number
of students would remain in any
event to make q creditable showing
at the local debate with Hamline. The
baseball game at Yankton on that day
is an added attraction which would
serve to draw q good crowd, being
between the teams of Dakota Wes-
leyan and Yankton College.

The ANNUAL MEETING HERE
Stockholders of the Carizzo Copper
Co. Will Meet Here for the Big
Annual Gathering.

Announcements have been sent
out from headquarters of the Carizzo
Copper Co. at st. Louis, Mo-, an
n%ouncing that the annual meeting Of
the company will be held in this city
on Friday and Saturday, April 20
and 90.
For the past five years the annual
meeting of the company has been held
at st. Louis, but this year a success
full effort was made transferring it
to South Dakota, for in this state the
majority of stock is held by South Da
kota citizens. There was something
of a contest on between three or four
cities for the meeting and Mitchell
finally landed it.
The local members of the company
state that delegates will be present
from New York, Ohio, Indiana, ILL
nois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North Dakota, and
that fully $50 men will be present at
the meeting.
The Carizzo company, which is
capitalized for $10,0O0,O00, with ST.
100000 paid, is located in the Ayutla
DISTRICT, in Mexico, and is today pay
ing good dividends to its stockholders
In conversation with one Of the stock
holders he expressed the opinion
that there was a strong probability
that the headquarters would be trans
ferred from st. Louis, and he was
sanguine enough to believe that with
some good work the headquarters
can be secured for Mitchell. The
stakeholder said he was bending his
energies in that direction.
