GRANTS PASS WINS
IN SCHOOL DEBATE

With vote OF two to one by the
Judges Grants Pass High School de-
batting team last night won the con-
text with the team from the Lebanon
high school, and in the victory gave
great pleasure to the student body,
faculty and the people Of the city.
Subject for the debate was Re
solved, that national conservation OF
natural resources is preferable to
state conservation" and the home
team took the negative. The win
ners for Grants Pass were Helen
Love, Allan Herrick and Erie Best.
Personnel of the Lebanon team was
Katherine Kirkpatrick, Minnie Vert
eel and Ora Keebler. The judges
were Professor Fitzpatrick, superin-
tendent OF schools in Oakland, Ore,
and Percy Collier and Carlton Spen-
Ger, both students of the state univer-
sity at Eugene.
Points on which the Grants Pass
students won probably were effective
refutation and substantiation OF their
argument. Miss Love gave logical
discussion and clear outline OF the
subject. Allan Herrick was strong
In rebuttal, and his work in putting
the burden OF proof on his opponents
was most clever. Erie Best, In his
forceful delivery and substantiation
of his points, was effective and
strong.
Lebanon was weak in substan-
tiating It's own argument. Probably
the most effective work for the VISIT
ors was done by Miss Kirkpatrick.
The victory last night was OF es-
pecial interest from the fact that
Lebanon three years ago won from
Grants Pass. AT that time, as last
night. Lebanon was represented by
three girls.
Grants Pass will next debate with
Bandon, and the contest will prob
ably be held here May 10. At that
time the home team may take the
other side Of the question. Should
Grants Pass win, the team Will Their

championship. which is to take place
at Eugene II the home team losei

test with either Baker City or HOOD

The contest has now narrowed
down and Grants Pass is to the from
as strong competitor for the stat'
championship.

PAY HIGH PRICES
FOR VEGETABLES

Prepare to dig deep in your pock-
cts or the family purse lying on the
dresser for much coin with which to
pay the vegetable man, for people of
Grants Pass and Rogue River valley
will be compelled to bear the bur-
den of losses by frost to California
vegetable growers since Rogue val
ley people continue to refuse to grow
their own vegetables, one region In
the world where they will grow to
perfection.
H. NJ Axtell, of the Wholesale
Market exchange, has Just returned
from a trip over wide area Of Cal
fornia. and to representative of The
Courier he states that killing frosts
recently reported in that state have
not only cut the fruit crop, but have
played havoc with vegetable crops.
The season has also been put back
a month and when the Grants Pass
housekeeper goes to market this
spring It will require more money
than usual. It will be case Of big
money and little bundle. It is a
long way from Grants Pass to mid
die California, and besides the scar
city OF vegetables there now and to
be, freight charges add another
mortgage that must be raised by the
housekeepers here before the beans.
the peas, the corn, the tomatoes, the
lettuce, the cucumbers and other
much-wanted dainties can be set upon
the table.
'Why the people of this valley con-
tinue to neglect the growing of veg
etables is beyond me-" said Mr.. Ak
tell today. "Of all the places In
Oregon the Rogue valley is the
premier Vegetable region. There is
no excuse under the sun why we
all must buy and eat California veg
etables when they can be grown here
in abundance. The Southern Pacific
railroad and express companies and
the California growers get much
money from here when we, the peo'
pie of this vicinity, should be ship
pers instead Of buyers.
''The new potato crop has beer
put back a month and there are few
Of the other kind. The coast has
been drawing potatoes out Of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Idaho and elsewhere
until 1t looks that soon potatoes will
be quoted by the dozen, instead O
by the hundred pounds.
'It is high time the people Of thi
vicinity should raise their own vege
tables, and the prices they will b.
compelled to pay this season will
convince them OF that fact"
