DEBATE TEAMS WILL
HAVE VERBAL BATTLE
Intersociety Contest Is to Be
Fought Out On Saturday
Night

A sharp battle of wits and an ex-
cellent demonstration of the sci
ence OF augmentation Is schedul-
ed to come OF at the high school
next Saturday evening, when the
Philomathean and the Zetamathean
debating teams will clash in inter.
society debate. This debate is an an.
nual affair and draws out more OPP
position between the two societies
than any other interscholastic meet.
ing OF the year The question will
be the same as that of the two Far
ibault encounters of two weeks ago,
Resolved, that Minnesota should
adopt a system of state regulation
for public utilities" and the teams
will be the same so far as people
are concerned, but two changes will
be made. Don Anderson, with Meta
Salisbury and Kenneth Macbeth
will take the negative in behalf of
the Zets, and Dwight Frost has
been transferred to uphold the af-
firmative with Ray Melvin and Mil
dred Crawford, for the Phllos.
These two teams won victories
over Faribault and both know the
subject from the top to bottom. The
debates have been carefully review
ed and as each debater is fully &C.
quainted with all the known argu-
ments pro and con, there is a strong
possibility of ane OF the other slip
ping one over" in the form of a
new argument. Thus Il can be seen
that a hot scrap is bound to ensue
and the matter of victory is about
a ."toss-up".
A huge celebration Is sure TO fol-
low the debate. which Is the big
gest event of the year. Every per.
son in the school Is a member of
one or the other of the societies,
and three annual contests take
place between them. The essay and
public speaking contest was
won by the Zets, who now hold the
big trophy cup. The cup given by
the Social Science club for the de-
batting winners will be given next
Saturday evening, and track and
field cup will be contested for
May 8.
A large deficit resulted from the
Faribault debate here, so II was de-
cided to charge an admission Of
ten cents for the coming debate,
to make up the amount lacking. It
is expected that a large crowd will
attend.

trail through Lyon county, bids TO
he called for and the contract to be
le, as soon as possible. The board
gave hearing on the matter so
that any who cared TO might be
present and either talk for or
against the proposition. A special
train was run in the morning from
Ralaton to Marshall by way Of
Tracy. and about 800 people went
10 Marshall to be present at the
meeting.
The commissioners convened at
ten o'clock and gave an opportunity
for an expression of opinion. There
was much discussion pro and con
hut the sentiment was for building
the road about six to one. The
hearing was concluded at three
o'clock, and the broad went into ex-
ecutive session and decided to build
the road. II will be constructed to
conform with the state highway re-
uuirements and will be fully gravel
ed The estimated cost OF the TWEEN
ty-four miles is $4,000. Bids will
be advertised for and the contract
will be let as soon as possible, so that
the work can be commenced at
once.
The above link in the trial Is
very significant to the people along
the Black and Yellow trail. Lincoln
county has completed its arrange.
ments for the construction OF the
highway through its eighteen miles
of the trail. and for feeders from
the north and south leading to the
trail. Redwood county has complet.
cd its arrangements to complete its
portion of the highway and Brown
county has already commenced work
on it's highway. Nicollet county re-
mains TO make provision for the
construction of its portion Of the
trail
This will give about $50 miles
Of road due west from Mankato OF
completed road. Some stretches
have already been built toward the
cast. and include the eleven miles
Of Madison Lake road. Steel county
has completed a portion of its trail
and also some of the road through
Winona county has been built.
II Is believed that the Minnesota
portion Of the highway will be en-
tirely built In two or three years,
and will make one of the longest
stretches of completed highway in
the state and will compare favorably
with any stretch Of the trail.
