debating among North Dakota high
schools and the winning OF the Herald
loving cup to be held a year are the
ton teams will be the contestants.
Both have had the experience of
three preliminary tryouts and both are
determined to carry away the cup. The
question is the same one that has been
under discussion by all of the teams of
the league this winter: Resolved. that
North Dakota should adopt a plan of
workingmen's insurance similar to
the Wisconsin. Hatton will support

are Theodosia Grondach. Howard
Henrietta and Archie Host. They
will be supported by a large delega-
ton. Of interested friends who came
in with them last night so as to be
on hand to cheer them to victory.
They have the advantage Of retaining
the side on which they have scored
their victories. Hatton already has
the scalpe Of Buffalo. Devils Lake
and Hilisboro. Their debaters are
AAaOSSCt ootoClS oiIu
Marie Hegge. They have displayed
considerable versatility by winning on
both sides Of the question. The Judges
for the debate will be President
Thomas Hillyer Of the Mayville Nor
NAL School. w. P. Davies Of the
Grand Forks Herald and Professor
Frederick H. Koch Of the university.
This debate will close the third
years work Of the North Dakota High
School Debating league. Spirit will
be added to this years contest by the
fact that Leeds was the victor in the
final two years ago and should they
win in this debate and in one of the
future finals SO as to give them a to-
tai Of three victories their school will
become the permanent owners Of the
Herald cup. This year has been a
very successful one with the league.
The question was a rather difficult
n but the schools have entered in
to the contest with zest and some
very excellent debates have been
held. Twenty-Five Of the best high
schools Of the state were entered in
the preliminaries and it was neces-
sary to hold four series Of debates to
determine the contestants for the
finals.

MAYORS

Monday will mark the open
ing Of what promises to be a
new era in the city of Grand
Forks, for on. that day the
Grand Forks team Of the c. I.
league will open the season at
home. AS the business. men of
the city have contributed a large
amount for the installation Of
the team and for its maintenance
it il but ting that their endeav-
ors towards giving Grand Forks
residents a good amusement,
should be recognized.
1 herewith suggest that all Of
the city offices and the stores be
closed on Monday afternoon and
that all possible give the Grand
Forks team a send-off that will
not be forgotten.
Baseball is the one Of all the
sports. in which the young. old
and the middle aged. find great
interest. Grand Forks Is noted
for its interest in anything that
will boost the name of the city.
and the lea que undoubtedly will.
II is but right that the team and
local club DO started off on it's
season with the spirit that
throughout the country Is SYM
bolic of Grand Forks. There
fore. let all who can attend the
first game do so, and let the
stores of the city and the city Of
fees be closed from 2 o'clock in
the afternoon until after the
game. Respectfully submitted,
M. F. Murphy.
