The county spelling contest, which
has created no small stir among the
schools Of the county. especially the
rural schools. was held in the Office of
the county superintendent Friday after
noon, March Sth.
Some Of the contestants were unable
to be present on account Of the weath-
er although there were eight brave
hearted enough to tackle the worst Of
weather
The contest was called at 1880
O'Clock and after rules and regulations
were decided upon, a committee and
secretaries appointed and the contest
ants numbered and lined up, the spell
ing proper began.
Those entering the contest were
Mary Andrews, Charles Emmons, Susie
Essex, Lizzie Fluke, Helen Jones, Beu-
lah Mitchell, Sarah Rae and Howard
Tyler At the close of the contest,
which was forty-five minutes, the mis-
spelled words were checked up to the

Tyler had tied. but as one of the
medals was to go to the winner OF the
rural schools of the county and the
other to the winner Of the city schools
of the county, Miss Helen Jones OF
Welch received the prize, valuable gold

Although not every one of the con-

portunity Of entering county contest
and showing tho winners such hard

which shows that he has the cause OF
education at heart and Is working IN
earnest for the betterment of the
schools of Craig county.

vIN|TA HIGH SCHOOL
LOSESJOINTDEBA

The debating teams Of the vinita
high school lost both debates last
evening to the Chelsea high school,
one being held here and one at Chelsea.
The team from the Claremore state
school were expected to debate here
last evening and make it a triangular
instead of a joint debate, but they with
drew from the contest and Chelsea's
negative team came in their stead.
The question debated was, Resolved
that: 4 high protective tariff is no
longer justifiable And the debate was
opened by Roy Brady of Vinita, first
speaker for the affirmative. and, while
his talk was neither fiowery, nor ora
torical he gave some good points and
expanded them in a manner that show
ed much study and previous work, and
that he knew what he was talking
about.
| He was followed by Mr.. Judd of
Chelsea who at once commanded atten-
ton from the audience by his oratory
and easy freedom of speech. he being
the only speaker of the evening who
did not use notes.
The main points in his speech dealt
with woolen and cotton manufactures
and with immigration of foreigners to
this country. His speech was flowery
and eloquent and was the most inter-
esting talk of the evening.
The next speaker was Thomas Nc
Laughlin for yinita, and as his col
legue. Mr. Brady, he stuck TO plain
cold facts and indulged in no flowery
flights
We will not go into the details of
his debate but it is enough to say that
his points and authority were without
question the best produced.
The second speaker for the negative
was Ray Upp, of Chelsea, whose points
were good but he was forced to use
his notes more than the other orators.
The debate was closed with five
minute rebuttal by Mr.. McLauglin-
The debate last night was the first
annual debate for the high schools in
eastern Oklahoma and this being the
4 first time for Vinita, while their op-
lponents have had more experience;
they did remarkably WE'LL
The judges gave the decision to the
visitors after thirty minute discus
sion and weighing of points and while
the decision did not appear to the
audience and more especially to the
local students, just as fair as II might
| it was greeted by half-hearted cheer
from the students of V. II. S.
The time during which the judges
were out was taken up by the boys
glee club, who entertained the audi.
ence with few selections.
The singing of the high school male
duartette was especially good and the
work OF Lowry Leforce (better known
as Fatty Leforce) and Jewel Scott in
the Muffin Man." almost threw the
audience into commissions, it was SC
funny.
The negative team that went to
Chelsea also lost their debate after a
close contest and conference Of the
judges.
The debate last evening, taking il
all in all, went to prove that Vinita
high will soon be leading in literary
and braing work, as they have and will
continue to lead in all forms of ath-
Iletics.

Some doubt has been raised as to
the Stafford county delegation. This
delegation of five mem has heretofore
been listed for Wilson, but it is also
claimed by the Clark men. Giving it
to Clark would still leave Wilson with
majority of five votes and lead over
Clark of nine votes.
