Local Team Loses
IoCaledonia Boys
Redwood Falls Missed Champion
ship of Southern Minnesota
By Narrow Margin

The debate team of the high
school met the Caledonia team
at Caledonia last Friday even
ing. This important contest for
the championship of Southern
Minnesota proved close and ex-
citing, the Redwood Falls boys
eXcelling in the argument while
the Caledonia boys showed great
superiority in delivery. Red
wood Falls maintained for the
first time the affirmative of the
state debate question: Resol il
that the federal government
should own and operate all tele-
graph and telephone lines. They
succeeded in convincing one of
the three judges that such a
move would be advisable.
Max Stevens, Andy Luscher
and Oliver Steele spoke for the
affirmative while Harold Medi-
Gus, Robert Jennings and Henry
Wisland supported the negative.
Mr.. Medicus although handi-
capped by a severe cold made
the most effective speech of the
evening. The judges we're Supt.
J. E. Morse of Spring Valley,
Supt. Mccarthy of Preston and
Prof. Peterson Of the Rochester
High School. Attorney l.. l..
Duxbury of Caledonia presided.
Music was furnished by the
Caledonia Concert Orchestra, an
organization of much merit as
we'll as by a high school chorus
At the close of the contest the
debaters and judges were enter
tanned Informally in the base
ment of the Opera House. The
boys report a long hard trip,
more than three days being con-
sumed on the journey.
This defeat ends our chances
of obtaining the state champion
ship this year. Nevertheless the
city has good cause to be proud
of its representatives who put
up a good fight and lost the de-
cision by the narrowest of mar
gins.

BANKERS ARRANGE
FOR MONSTER LOAN
Billion Dollar Credit Sought by
AngIo-French Commission is
Practically Decided On.
Special by United Press Jyire.

New York, Sept 16:-New York
financiers, meeting with the Anglo
French commission, allowed it to be
understood today that the billion
dollar credit sought by the visitors
Is practically arranged They have
found bankers of the United States
sufficiently willing to participate,
they said, to guarantee the success
of the proposed loan This was the
upshot of views exchanged and re-
ports made today.
Washington, Sept 1s.-Administra-
ton officials are observing carefully the
situation that is developing throughout
the country as result Of the negotia-
tons in New York looking to the fota-
ton of huge Anglo French credit
loan.
Not being In any way participant in
the loan negotiations, the chief interest
Of the government in the situation Is In
such effect as 1t may have upon the re-
lations between the United States and
Germany.
Consequently the agitation which, ac-
cording to reports, PROG Germans are TO-
menting throughout the banking cir
cles of the country is viewed at Wash
ington with much regret and some con-
Germ.
1t is regarded as unfortunate that
new fuel should be added to the fires
Of partisanship in this country just as
there seems to be prospect of clear
ing away the obstacles which stand in
the way Of settlement Of the subma-
rine controversy with Germany.
The attitude of the administration
toward the loan is absolutely definite
yisers see in the negotiations nothing
which they have power to prevent and
nothing against which they should seek
to exercise a restraining influence.

PURPLE SOCKS MENACE
MAYOR GARRETSON AGAIN

Purple socks are again with
Mayor Ferd Garretson. He has not
been bothered with them for some
weeks, but they made their return
in double pairs this morning. When
the mayor went to the front door
early this morning he was surprised
to find two pairs of purple socks de-
posted there. A single pair had
been left on former occasions
Purple being an Elk color, the
executive was inclined to believe at
first that the socks of today were
the remains of the Elks convention,
but upon examining the well worn
socks later the mayor came to the
conclusion that they could not have
been the property of any one of the
Best people on Earth.
