PLANNING TO DIVIDE
STATE INTO DISTRICTS

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 9.-Grand Forks,
Nov. ga new plan for pairing con
testants in the State High School De.
batting league is being considered this
year by the extension. division, which
has charge of this work, and will he
adopted il the enrolment of debating
teams is large enough to warrant tae
change. The state will he divided
into four separate debating districts.
The question for ,19l5.16 is: Re
solved, That the American navy
should be substantially enlarged.
Substantially enlarged shall be in
terpreted to mean equal to the strong
est in the WORLDLY Time TEN jiears.
Since a. more timely subject for dis
cnssiOn could hardly have been Sc
lected, and since the valie of this
work is yearly receiving wider rec
Ognition, there should be NO difficulty
in enrolling GO or more schools. II
this can he done, the state will be
divided into four districts, as follows:
Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, and Grand
Forks. In the. preliminary contests,
the school of each district will be
paired against each other. The win.
ming team will compete with that of
some other district, and the two sue
cessful teams will meet In the final
debate at the university.
The advantages Of this. plan over
the previous one are obvious, for the
contestants will save. bota time and
money bye having the distances of
travel reduced. These considerations
alone will induce many new schools
to enter the league. = A number of
registrations have already come III

He paced the library floor nervous
ly, every nerve in his body jangling
discordantly at the chatter OF his wife
in the next room, the confusion Of her
undignifed romping with the baby.
Only the night before he had given
q wretched performance, his voice
turning hoarse. Only the night be
fore he had titled with Olga Drake,
for the first time in all the months
during which their intimacy had
grown to such an extent, that there
were whispers; about IT. =4'2'
First, he had tried: to break away
from the spell she cast upon him. But
his work threw him with her set and
his wife used every subterfuge to avoid
accompanying him to any affair which
might aid him in the social world
always pleading to be allowed to re
main with the baby.
And now she was late. He looked
at his watch nervously then whirled
to the stairs and tapped upon hel

But what can I do, Henry? What

returned the friendly pressure of the
great vocalist's hand, then turned nat
urally to the piano as she expressed
the desire to hear his voice.
Her critical sense was swept away
wen as De Retsky's had been before
her, and the Judgment Of the artist
upon a tyro gave place to unmixed de-
light as Merwin lavishly poured forth
his song.
She sighed as De Retsky turned upon
her, smiling delightedly at the obvious
impression his pupil had made.
"You were right, De Retsky, right"
she murmured. 1T is a voice that

The two who had eaten Of the fruit
