err than the average, but frequent and
in many sections, heavy to excessive
showers have further delayed thresh-
ing and other farm operations. While
the rains were beneficial in softening
the ground in cornfields, they have
kept the crop growing and prevented
any material advancement toward ma
turity. Only the very earliest planted
fields are beginning to dent probably
not more than 20 percent OF the crop
has passed the advanced roasting ear
stage. However, with favorable weatf1-
er in the future the Improvement will
be rapid, as soil conditions are now
excellent The rains have also put
the ground in fine shape for blowing
and considerable of that work was
done during the week, and some wheat
was sown. Much trouble was expert
enced in curing the second cutting of
clover. Reports Of potatoes rotting in
the ground are increasing and in some
sections the crop has been damaged
by blight. Pastures are excellent and
there will be an abundance Of fall
feed.

Partially was shown to the girl. The
debate was very close and after a re-
markable rebuttal by the girl debat-
er from Marshall and the last McKin-
ley speakers, the debate was a little
in favor of Mckinley. Great was the
astonishment when it was announced
that Marshall had won.
One prominent former high school
debater and member of a champion
ship team said this: Mckinley real
ly won the debate, but lost it through
the influence of a girl"
This debate was considered one Of
the best in Chicago high schools.
Even at the Crane VS.. Marshall de-
bate the decision against Crane
aroused a great protest. The tech"
school loudly complained of the de-
cision.
Pupils from the Marshall high
school have often been heard to say:
''An our girl debateT has to do is to
wink at the judges and we win. -
This is the wrong spirit. 1t is not
the spirit of fair play, and the only
way it can be avoided is to have the
