DOUBLE VICTORY THURS
DAY
Debators Win First Place in Northern
Wisconsin.

The Wausau high school debating
teams, who a month or more ago cap
tured the leadership of the Central
Wisconsin Debating league in which
Antigo, Wausau and Marshfield were
contesting, last Thursday evening
won two Of the most exciting and
close debates from Tomahawk ever
held in this vicinity The negative
team of our city debated the Toma-
hawk affirmative here while at Toma-
hawk our affirmative debated and
the decisions of the judges at both
places was a majority for Wausau.
At Tomahawk the affirmative team
of our high school, consisting of
Albert Mohr, Walter Reinhold and
Paul Tobey with julie Young as al
ternate, won after lot of hard work.
The Tomahawk team was composed
of Max Powell, Donald Lewis and f.
Heebar. The judges were A. III. Cole,
Merrill; T. j. Holster, Minocqua; X.
L.. Naffz, Merrill.
At Wausau, Thursday evening, the
Tomahawk negatives, Leo Landry,
Roy Lyons and VIM. Iverson, gave
the Wausau boys a most strenuous
battle but after the finish the judges,
the Messrs. Milne, Van Doren and
Runke, all of Merrill, rendered their
decisions, to l for the negative.
Although only small crowd pre-
sented itself at the high those there,
at the receiving of the notice of the
double victory, made noise enough to
make up for the lack of attend
ance. The Wausau boys, Frank
Rowley, Eugene Machmueller and
Herbert Steinke very ably represented
the high school composing the mega
tive team. The home team, Thurs
day, was put TO some disadvantage
over the objections of the TomahaWk
affirmative team to allow our team
to use their alternate in regard to
the chart, but the boys were not
crippled much by this.
These debates concluded the inter-
high school debates in which either
of our teams will partake for this sea-
son. Coach Borsack has agreed to
return next year, to the joy of all
high school students as well as the
debaters, and the fine work which he
has accomplished in the intellectual
field will be continued next year. Mr.
Borsack certainly deserves much
praise for his splendid coaching of
the now champion debators Of North
ern Wisconsin.

C. o. D. BY PARCEL POST.

Postmasters have received copies of
a general order providing for the in
stallation of the delivery
system for the parcel post. The new
rule provides that after Julyl, 1913,
packages may be sent by parcel post
G. O. D., provided that the full
amount of the postage on tile pack
age is paid and ten cents in parcel
post stamps in addition to the amount
required for postage, be attached to
the package. Upon delivery of the
package the person to whom it is adj
dressed must pay the charges on the
package and sign receipt, which Also
serves as an application for money
order. This tag, together with the
amount collected, is returned to the
money order department, where a
money order is made out to the send
er of the package and forwarded in a
penalty envelope, the money order
serving the sender of the package as
a receipt for the goods. No goods SO
sent may be examined until the
charges on the package have been
paid. No package can be returned
after delivery This new branch of
the parcel post service will undoubt-
edly increase the business, and it is
estimated that it will in time entirely
do away with the express business in
the United States. Any package so
sent is insured for its value, which
shall1not exceed 800, without extra
charge. G. O. ID. packages may be re-
ceived by and sent to money order

CLUB TO Be ACTED
UPON THURSDAY

The future of the Fifty Thousand
Club will probably be decided at
noon Thursday. when the next meet
ing and luncheon occurs at the La
Court. A proposal 10 place it entire
ly under the Supervision of the To-
cal Chamber OF Commerce will be
brought up, and, while the weekly
luncheon feature will be maintained
if the suggested plan is approved. the
organization will be known as a
Chamber of Commerce organization
and will be an open forum for that
association.
The advantages of such n move
would be principally in making the
organization more responsible in its
actions and less volatile and vision
airy. A large number of the friends
of the club have been considering
this scheme for some time and be-
lieve that it will be the best for the
interests of the city in general.
In the evening will occur the an
nual meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce. A new board of directors
will be named. and President Glasco
announces that he will suggest that
a nominating committee choose this
board rather than have it named by
general vote as heretofore.
Possibly a change in the basis of
membership and organization of the
chamber will be proposed and acted
upon. One suggested idea is to limit
the membership to so or 100 and
pay dues quarterly in advance rather
than monthly as heretofore.
