Cheers
For Basket Ball And The De-
bate Teams
Given At The High School,.
Cup Is Also Presented

Monday morning the entire high
school student body assembled in the
auditorium to attend the most inter-
esting chapel program of the year.
AS soon as the usual senior oratiOns
were given, Principal Rimer intro
duced w. l.. Sanders, the debate
coach. Mr.. Sanders, who was pres.
ent at the high school debate at
Newark Friday evening, gave a very
interesting account of the debate at
that city. Although, by the decision
of the judges, Mt. Vernon lost, Mr..
Sanders stated that as far as real de-
batting was concerned the local team
had the Newark orators whipped to a
frazzle. Robert Eastman was the
first speaker for the Mt. Vernon team,
and right here little praise for this
BOY would certainly not be amiss.
Being called at the eleventh hour be-
cause of the sickness of Merritt
Chambers, Bob" went into the de-
bate "on all fours." With only TWEEN
ty-four hours of preparation, he as
tonished the Newark audience by his
mastery of debating. The next speak
er of the Mt. Vernon team was Miss
Olive Black who was By far the
star of the evening. The final speak
er to uphold the Mt Vernon prestige
was Glenn Sparks, who was certainly
at his best at this time. Taken all in
all, the local team, as prominent
lawyer in Newark expressed it. "de-
bated the Newark team to a stand
still"
AS the next number on the chapel
program, Captain Charles Clayton of
the local basketball five, presented a
beautiful loving cup to the high
school of this city. The cup is made
of silver and on one side of it may
be found the following inscription:
Ohio State
lnter-Scholastic Basketball
Championship
Under the Auspices Of
Ohio Wesleyan University
1915
2nd Prize
Principal Rimer received the cup
and thanked the basketball team in
behalf of the student body.
After the presentation of the cup,
Coach Hagaman gave short talk,
after which Supt. Zemer gave a
very interesting talk to the students
pertaining both to the debate and to
the championship game at Delaware.
Also at this time, Mr.. Rimer made
an announcement that Merritt Cham.
bers. who was unable to debate in
Newark Friday evening because of an
illness, wished to express mis- apprec-
iation to his many friends and high
school students of the courtesies
shown him during his sickness.
The program was completed by
cheers for both the basketball and de.
bate teams.

WAIST LINE OF COATS

ShOrt-waisted arrangements in suit
coats and separate coats are not 80
much in evidence as they were in the
midwinter and advance spring show
ing, says the New York Times, the
normal waist line being given prefer

high waist line are sponsored by the
best designers, and these coats are
most becoming to some figures than
those Of more shapely defined waist

WOMEN STORM GATES
 OF FERTILIZER PLANTS
When Workers at Roosevelt, N. J. At tempt to Go Back to Work For
 $16O Per Day.

Roosevelt, N. J., Feb. S.--A crowd of women stormed the gates of the Liebig and Williams and Clark fertil- izer plants here today where nineteen strikers were shot by deputies Jan. 19, and administered thorough beat ing to Elmer Osborne, chief engineer at the Liebig Works, and Frank Davis clerk at the Williams and Clark plant. Both men were rescued by special policemen.
 The trouble started when some of the strikers attempted to go back to work for $1.60 day. This was the wage they received at the time of the strike, the previous wage having been $2 a day. The woman jeered and hooted the men going to work this morning and when Osborne and Davis appeared attacked them. One man among the crowd of women was ar rested.
 The companies operating the plants issued a notice yesterday to the effect that unless the men returned to work today they would be discharged. Lead CTS of the strikers asserted that the mon who went to work today had not previously been employed at Roose- welt.
