FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1912.

There is one pleasing thing to be
deduced from a review of the figures
showing the fire loss in the United
States and Canada for the current
year, and that is that, while not by
any means small they have shown
tendency toward diminution since the
beginning of the year. The amount
for August was sl4, ,1Ss, ,000-the small
est for any month of the present year
For the first eight months of 1912 the
fire loss aggregated $163, ESQ., $50, which
was approximately four million dol
lars less than for the corresponding
period of last year, though sixteen
millions in excess of that for the first
eight months of 1910.

Carl Finch of Bowling Green has
returned from his hunting tour in the
Maine woods and brought home fine
deer which he claims to have shot.
OF course, we all believe he did shoot
that deer because the records show
that Carl. can catch fish in the Maumee
river and never lie about the size and
weight thereof. 1t is also written
that Carl is not only big fellow in
size, but that his heart is also big and
overflowing with generosity, there
fore it is no surprise to the members
of Bowling Green lodge of Elks that
Carl will supply the venison for big
feast which will be spread in the ban
quet hall for the members and their
ladies in few days.

GIRLS TO GIVE PLAY.
Forensic Debating Society of High
School Will Produce ''Kleptomaniac. :,

The Girls Debating society is one
of the lively organizations of the To-
peka High school and was esta blished
several months ago in direct opposi-
ton to the Forensic club the mem bers
of which objected to admitting such
an ordinary thing as a girl into their
supposedly perfect club. The girls,
however, did not become broken
hearted as the aforesaid gentlemen
rather expected; on the other hand
they developed into a formidable OPP
ponent as a rival debating society.
The latest plan is now being acted
upon by the Girls Debating society
and is the presenting of an entertain
ium on April 26. The play is called
THE Kleptomaniac,'' and the cast is
being coached by Miss Barnwell,
whose good work is well known to ev-
eryone. The parts and hose taking
them are as follows:

unique contest has been devised
by means of which it is expected a
great many tickets will be sold. The
members of the club are divided into
two sections, each division represent
ing one side of a debate and having
as it's leader a teacher of the high
school. The question is: That Miss
Miss Ansels team will sell more tick
cts for the farce than Miss Stelter's
team. Miss Ansel and her colleagues,
of course, have the affirmative side,
while Miss Stelter and her associates
have the negative. Thirty tickets sold
by each side constitutes the debate
proper while each ten tickets sold
from there on counts as one point in
the refutation. The refutation prom
ises to be most exciting for the side
making the greatest mum Der of these
points will win. Every girl of the
High school ought to either buy a
ticket or assist in selling these tickets
So that the leader she favors shall be
victorious and be allowed to sit in the
seat of honor at the banquet which
