Young Mems Debating Club

About ten of the young men OF
Meade have organized young
mems debating club which meets
weekly in some office where they
may not be disturbed. Later they
expect to take the public into their
confidence and give public exhibit
ton of their work.
This is thing that should receive
tie encouragement of every one who
can help. Something of this sort in
the way of intellectual entertainment,
drill, and development has been
needed here for years and it is a
shame for us older heads that we
left the boys to discover and put the
idea into working order. We should
have suggested, advised, and en-
couraged them in some such under
taking long ago. There are many
reasons why this practice will be a
benefit to those who participate in
it. The habit of being able to talk
and to think on ones feet is invalu-
able and alone would be ample pay
for the time used in the preparation
and delivery of the debates. There
are other and better reasons for that
kind of drill. The study, reasoning
out, the result of the facts as ar
ranged by writers, and applying
each to the subject under discussion
is a source of development for the
mind which may not be so we'll and
practically learned in any other
school. The modern method of
teaching as employed in our common
schools is largely drill in the SUBJ
jects treated in the text books used,
and however useful from a technical
point of view, leave the mind almost
a blank outside of those subjects.
The result is that any person who
enters life abruptly, after an academ.
ic course, is constantly humping up
against the hard rocks of the
workaday world. We once knew

A Correction.

Last week, in mentioning the new
elevator which is being erected by
H. H. Butler here, the type made
US to say that the capacity was 2, 800
bushels. What we wrote was 20, 900
bushels. We know that this will be
excused, for the reason that such a
mistake about any improvement or
progress of the city or the county is
usually given full space and stated
carefully in the figures or words of
the facts. Our proof-reader is also
careful and seldom lets mistake of
this kind get past him; but last week
we were short handed, with much
larger amount of work in this office
than usual when the full force is
there to set it up, and in the hurry
to get to press this slipped by.

from there to college, and then to
the university and returned home
after his graduation to his fathers
farm. Happening to 60 to the barn
one morning before any other men,
Der of the family, he found one of

where a box of oats was kept. He
turned the bossy out and then re-

closing by saying, "Maybe you
won't believe it, but that COW was

these boys are taking will help to
eliminate the flavor of school days
and broaden out the mind in such
manner that they will be able to bet

day work. No one of them expects

Commercial Club on a Boosting
Trip.

Monday morning of this week, five
automobiles. with the following gen
tlemen at the different wheels, left
Meade with twenty members of the
Commercial Club as passengers.
The drivers were: H. H. Butler, M.
L. Gates, Henry Burford, Harry
Williams, and Charles Dettinger.
In the afternoon three more cars
took the trail for Beaver City, they
being mostly filled with band boys.
The route was down the valley,
across the divide. on to the Cimar-
ron, from there out on the flats, and
across to Beaver City. Some nine
miles north of Beaver City the boys
were met by the Beaver City Com
mercial men, in automobiles, and
guided to the city, where a short
stop was made at the fine Beaver
county court house where few min
utes talk was INDUCED in, when, led
by Beaver machine the Meade
men were led south through a fine
we'll improved country to the Clear
Creek valley, where a turn east
through mud brought them directly
south of Beaver City, where two
miles from the Texas line halt was
made and the return to Beaver City
begun. The total run for that day
was Io4H miles.
On Tuesday morning the eight
cars begun the return trip, continu-
Ing in bunch to Miles. Afrer din
ner four of the cars came directly
home, while the others diverged
across the flats to Uneda, Henry
Brinckman's, Judson Hulbert's,
R. M. Painters, and through the
Mennonite colony, reaching Meade
about SIX P. M.
The News editor was with the
crowd but it is too late to get an ac-
count of the trip In this issue, for
the reason that the last run on the
paper is made today "wednesday
and the forms are nearly full this
morning. The description of the
trip with the mention of the splen-
did crops all along the route, to-
gether with the royal welcome gwen
our boys by the Commercial Club
and the citizens of Beaver will have
to walt for next week. There is an
other reason why this account will
have to wait and it is this: for bald
headed man like the writer, the pace
is little swift. More than one
hundred miles across country, be-
tween the hours of $3.50 a. IN.
and Goo p. M. with a talkfest, in
terspersed with band music, fine vo-
cal music. and piano solos lasting

Married.
Judd WILSON.

Married, June 1st. 1910 at st.
Andrews Church, in Washington
D. c., Mr.. Malcolm Judd, of
Meade, Kansas, and Miss Helen
Mae Wilson, of Virginia, the
Rev. ]. ]. Dimon officiating.
The above notice and the I'M
expected arrival of Mr.. Judd and
his bride at the home of his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. c. Judd,
of this city, was the first hint of
the marriage of Malcolm, which
his friends here received; not
that it was surprise to his par
ents, but only to the public.
Mr.. Judd, of whom we can
only think as Malcolm, having
known him since he was a little
school boy, obtained his educa-
tisn here and finished at Law
renee, Kansas. From there he
went to accept a position in
Washington, D. c. When his
promotion to responsible posi-
ton in the Offices of a surety
company there came, we took
occasion to speak of it for we like
to be able to mention any Meade
young folks who go out into life's
work and succeed. Now it
seems that while he was making
a conquest in the business world
the sly God of love ambushed
him and with his deadly arrow
settled Malcolm's fate for his
own good.
Mrs. Judd comes of one of the
old families of Virginia and is
unacquainted with the ways o.
the southwest, but we hope she
will like the country and oul
people.
Mr.. Judd is undecided as t.
whether or not he will go int
business here or retain his posi-
ton with the Surety company
The many friends of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Judd hope that they will
find it to their interest to remain
with us and begin their married
life with the friends of Mr.
Judd's boyhood days.
We, with their host of friends
wish the young people a long ant
prosperous welded life, blessed
with as many of the joys and "a
few of the trials as mortals mal
hope for.
