FIRST DECLANIATORY CONTEST.
HonoPs i'm Annual High School Event
Won by Milton Daivey, Agnes
Langhans and Lawrence
Acres.

The first declamatory contest for
the DEBORAH high school was held
last Friday evening in the high
school auditorium, before an audi
ence which filled the room. The
judges were superintendent Dim
mitt of McGregor and Nearpass of
Cresco, and Miss Laura Seals of the
state teachers college at Cedar
Falls. 1t is the first time DEBORAH
has had such a contest, and inter-
est in the outcome was more gen.
eral than anticipated. The program
was a splendid one in every way.
A ladies quartette, Misses Lillian
Winter, Ruth Ingvoldstad, Marie
Sperati and Margaret Sihler, sur
prised the audience with the ex-
cellent harmony and beauty of their
singing, as did the various contest
Ing numbers. The contest, divided
into three divisions, dramatic, ora
torical and humorous, gave oppor-
tunity for a wide range of choice,
but the marking was exclusively on
delivery, and in view of the fact that
it was the first event of the kind,
the excellence of the program was
a decided compliment both to the
pupils and the school.
Milton Dalvey, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. O. Dalvey, was the winner
of the first prize, with his remark
able rendition of "Biff Perkins To-
boggan Slide" Miss Agnes Lang
hans won first in the dramatic sec
ton and second in the general con-
test, with a very realistic and thrill
ing Interpretation of "Ole Mistis;"
while Lawrence Acres captured first
in the oratorical section, and third
in the general contest, with "Lin-
coins Gettysburg Speech" in a very
effective rendition of this famous
address.
In the humorous class Miss Nancy
Bailey put so much fun into "A
Telephone Romance" that many
thought she ought to have had one
of the winning places, while Ruth
Seim's "How Tins Prayer Was An
swered," in the dramatic class also
came in for a large share of praise,
as in fact did all of the speakers.
Those not mentioned heretofore,
but all deserving of much praise,
were Rudolph Evans in Patrick
Henry's Call to Arms" Alice Dan
iels in "The Convict's Violin" Aagot
Borge in can Improbable Ser
want" and Agnes Thompson In. The
Bald Headed Man." :. ,u,-

FLORIDA'S GREATEST
ASSET IS CLIMATE
Nature Has Been Generous to This
Favored State.

Florida's greatest asset is its ell
mate. Without its superb climate
the lands Of Florida would have little
intrinsic value, for it Is the climate
alone that enables the tiller Of the
soil to obtain for his products prices
that range from double to ten and
even twenty times the prices received
for the same class of products raised
in the Middle States. the Northern
States. and the Western States.
In some sections of Florida great
stress is laid upon the character OF
the soil and the resultant fertility
in comparison with other sections;
but a close analysis of conditions will
show that after all it is the climate
that brings results. The localities
that are best protected from climate

best results. and consequently the
