Local Debating a
Team viCtOrS IN
Second Contest
Trio of High School Students Prove
Debating Skill at New Ulm,
Friday Evening
WILL GO TO LUVERNE
Cordially Treated by New Ulm People
and Supt. HI. C. Hess; Are Shown
Fine New Building

The Redwood Falls High School de-
batting team met the New Ulm team
at New Ulm last Friday evening, and
won holly contested decision. The
debate took place in the new audito-
rum of the high school which was
filled with a large and enthusiastic
crowd Of New Ulm partisans. After
music by the High School orchestra
and the Girls Glee Club, and a few
remarks by the presiding officer, Prin.
H. T. Peterson, New Ulm opened
the debate on the affirmative. The
question was the same as in the Ty-
Ter debate, Resolved that all tele-
graph and telephone lines should be
owned and operated by the federal
government"
The Redwood Falls team excelled
in the argument. Though the lapses
in grammar and errors in pronuncia-
ton SO apparent in the Tyler contest
had largely disappeared, their deliv-
cry showed much room for improve
| ment and their rebuttal lacked in
energy and earnestness. The New
Ulm representatives were unfortu-
nate in having one member who had
difficulty in presenting his part ow-
ing to lapses of memory. The other
two spoke with vim and earnestness
and came back with effect in the re-
buttal The judges, Pres. G. H. Cooper
of the Mankato Normal, Supt. G. G.
Baker of Albert Lea and Supt. J. S
Burrell of Springfield, voted two te
one in favor of the negative.
The boys speak highly of the cour-
teous and friendly treatment accorded
them by the New Ulm people. Supt
H. C. Hess was particularly kind II

whatsoever, will meet at the Armory,
January 27, to celebrate Burns birth
day anniversary and have good time
generally. Dinner will be served in

be readings by a professional Scotch
reader from away, and music and
dancing by the Sinclair Pipe Band Of
Minneapolis, as well as numbers by
local talent. The meeting was held in
the K. P. Hall last year, but the guar

large attendance, over two hundred
people being present, so it was de-
cided this year to hold the meeting
in the Armory.

HAS HAND BADLY CUT

Glenn Lukens, manual training in
structor in the Redwood High School.
had the misfortune to badly cut his
hand on an electric rip saw while at
work with his classes last Friday af-
ternoon. The first finger of the right
hand is badly torn and the tendons
severed, and the other fingers are al
so injured in a less degree. However,
it is probable that all the wounds will
heal without any permanent injury.
Mr.. Lukens returned to his work at
the high school this morning. Fred
Podoll stayed with Mr.. Lukens from
Friday night until Monday morning,
and proved most efficient as nurse
as well as most comforting as COM
panion. The injury has caused Mr..
Lukens great deal Of pain and made
sleep or rest impossible for the first
several hours after the accident hap
pened Mr.. Lukens feels that, while
he will be unable to use his hand for
sometime, with the assistance of the
boys in his classes, the work of the
class room will proceed after this
week, as it had been planned

Directors and Officers Elected For
Coming Year; Both Banking Houses
Satisfied With Years Work

The two local banks have been
busily engaged during the last few
days. in closing the years business
and find that 1914 has been year
of prosperity to Redwood County, if
one is to judge by the business done
at the two banking houses. An officer
of one of the banks informed The
! Gazette today that the deposits in the
two banks are higher at present than
| they have ever been before at the be-
ginning of the year. Considering the
stress and disquiet felt by banks in
many sections Of the country, this
fact is indicative of great local pros
perity
| The deposits in the two banks are
noticeably close, judging from the
statements made in response to the
recent called report. At the close of
business, January 81, one bank had
deposits to the amount of S502, III. so;
the other $500, 875.15, making a total
of 81 ,006,0 46.75. When one remem-
bers that Redwood County has TWEEN
ty-two money repositories, the above
amount speaks well for the prosperity
and thrift of the community as well
as the energy and strength Of the
two banks.

MAKE TROUBLE FOR ROYALTY
Mentally Unbalanced of Both Sexes
Source of Constant Annoyance
to Rulers.

Lunatic asyluns in the old world
abound in inmates who are firmly con-
WINGED that they are closely related to
the anointed of the Lord. 1t is a very
common form of delusion, says a
writer in the New York Sun. Until
the outbreak of the present war hard
ly week passed without some crank
calling either at buckingham palace
or at Windsor castle, demanding i'm
mediate admittance to the royal pres
ence. The men usually insisted that
they were the real husband of the
queen, or else an elder brother OF
George V, and consequently the lawful
heir to the throne. The women pro-
fessed to be the lawful wife Of the
monarch, or else a daughter of Ed
ward VII, born under romantic cir
cumstances. The stories which they
told were of the most extraordinary
description. AS they insisted on
haunting the approaches of the palace,
and in logging the movements of the
members of the reigning house, whom
they prosecuted with their attentions,
they ended by being arrested and
quietly consigned to the public luna
tic asylums, where they either re-
manned as permanent inmates, or else
were permitted to go free after under
going a fortnight's detention serving
as sanitary warning.
Much of the same practice has been
followed at Berlin and Potsdam, where
the emperor and empress have ever
since their accession to the throne in
1888 been troubled in much the same
fashion by mentally unbalanced visi-
tors. In fact, there is not reigning
sovereign in Europe who has escaped
this particular form Of annoyance.

Work of the Body Cells.

The cells of the body may be con-
sidered as having receptors through
which they appropriate nutrition.
Some of these receptors have fxation
or receptive power for the poisonous
product or toxin of invading bacteria
or for the bacteria themselves. 1t is
in this way the latter are able to in
jure the cell When, however, this
injury is done to the cells they manu-
facture many more receptors which
are cast into the fluid tissues, that is.
the lymph and blood, where they are
free to unite with the toxins and bac-
terra, thus saving the body cells from
their bsneful influence.
