No Paper Next Week

This is the last issue of The
BLADE for 1914. Next week we
take vacation so far as printing a
paper is concerned, the next issue
being on January s. The years
work has been quite satisfactory

scribers today than ever before we
take it that our efforts to publish a
clean and reliable paper are appre-
ciated. The Office will be open
next week during the usual hours
and the job department will take
care of all work in that line; the
subscription book will be open and
a stack of receipts handy and all
who call to subscribe or renew will
be given the glad hand and waited
on promptly. In the meantime we
wish each and every one a Merry
Christmas and a Happy and Pros
porous New Year, and solicit your
and good will during the
coming year.

LacIede Won Debate

1t was six bright high school
students that contested for honors
in a debate at the opera house last
Tuesday evening. Laclede was
represented by Lee Maybee, Gladys
Riggin and James Andersen, the
second team of the high school,
and were opposed by Glenn Free
land, Delka Potter and Russell
Head, the first team of the Brown
ing high school.
The subject was, Resolved,
That labor and capital should be
compelled to settle their disputes
in legally established courts Of ar
bitration."
Browning had the affirmative
and Laclede the negative side.
VIM. Kraft was chairman, A. E.
Welty, time keeper, and the judges
were Superintendent White of
Brookfeld, Prof. White of the
Forker consolidated school, and
Rev. Mendenhall OF Laclede. The
debaters all acquitted themselves
creditably and the debate was in
throughout. The Laclede team,
however, out-classed their oppon-
ents and the judges rendered a
unanimous decision in favor Of the
negatives. Large delegations were
present frem Brookfeld and Lin
neus and a number from the coun-
try, but Laclede people were con-
spicuous by their absence, outside
of about twenty-five. Prof. B. F.
Enyeart, superintendent of the
Browning schools, and Miss Orda
Potter accompanied the visiting
team

soaring, but we have very little
to complain of for Mr.. Shive has
had better health this last year
than he ever has had in the south,

hear of DR.. Standly's death.

Much of the advertising space
in The BLADE today is taken up
with the seasons greetings from
the merchants to their eutomers

and do that which will rebound to
the good of the entire community.
