More Support for Debating.

"What?"
"The debate"
"Oh, pshaw!"
That is the attitude of the average
university student and faculty men,
Der on college forensics. The literary
societies have to hunt for a deserted
room to meet in. Students are not
encouraged to join them If the de-
batting teams are coached some man
has to volunteer to do it. The college
papers give little notice of such. And
the contests are usually poorly at
tended. The winners get little honor,
no letter and abuse for letting their
scholarship fall the slightest. Mis-
souri, has ten men who have fought
their way to make the intercollegiate
teams and has an enthusiastic coach.
If we don't wish to back them why
not give them some encouragement =
at least The debater usually has a
politically turned ambition. Many Of
them leave the universities believing
that some activities are stressed at
the expense of public speaking and
We are ready to call them traitors to
their alma mater if they show a grain
of bitterness at appropriation time.

The Literary Trawler

The more / think of it the more l
find this conclusion impressed upon
me, that the greatest thing a human
soul ever does in this world is to see
something and tell what It saw in a
plain way. Hundreds of people can
talk for one who can think, but
thousands can thing for one who can
see-John Ruskin.

NO FULL MOON IN FEBRUARY
Same Phenomenon Has Not Occurred
Since the Peace Year of 1866.

Residents of Columbia will not
have the opportunity of viewing full
moon during February, according to
the moon lore of astronomers Febru-
airy without a full moon IS a phenom-
.enon which has not been seen since
1856. January had full moon on
the thirtieth and March will have one
on the first, fact which cuts off any
possibility of February's having full
moon.
If there is anything in signs the
warning nations in Europe should
have consolation, for the year 1866
was peace year after a big war.

Mrs. Charles Lay, chairman of the Child welfare exhibit, outlined briefly the plans she has made for the exhibit which later in the season will be held in town. She will appoint one or seV- eral Saturdays when members of the league may meet to help in preparing the exhibit
 Announcement was made of the re- ception which will be held by the mem bers of the league at the home of MT and Mrs. Charles Snyder, North Main street, at S:30 o'clock, Friday evening, NOV. 5, to the teachers of the schools in town.
 During the winter months it is hoped to hold the regular meetings of the club at an earlier hour as the days are short andNthe intense interest shown in the work of the league nat urally entails much discussing and planning so that the hour and a half proves much too f1eeting for the pro gram outlined.
 With Mrs Charles Lowell ss chair man, rummage sale is planned by the members of the Stratford Wo- mems Suffrage association to be held in the town hall Friday, Oct 29.

the ground, benumbed and overcome.
Bravely, however, she fought her way
against the wintry blast. She located
the address given on the card, great
ornate mansion on a fashionable
thoroughfare FloribeI had just suf-
ficient strength to totter up the steps
and ring the doorbell when her senses
reeled and she sank to the cold mar
BILE step unconscious.
There she had been found by Mrs.
Neal. Floribel awoke to find herself
in a luxurious bed, a beautiful lady
lowering over her. What loving
grateful arms inclosed her, as she
told her story-so simply in its naive
recital, but meaning so much to the
proud Willis family!
And it was in silken attire, trans
formed Floribel, that Arlo Willis saw
the lovely ward of his sister the next
day.
Like one transported to a perfect
paradise the sweet little waif entered
upon her new life.
Her bright ways, her gratitude, her
beauty and then her fervent love ap-
pealed to the great nature of Arlo
Willis.
The Jacobs people never saw her
again, but society did. In all her bril-
liant loneliness, loyal, unspoiled, ra-
dainty happy, the humble child of
the lonely rag warehouse became the
reigning bride of the season.

POOR PRICE BEING
PAID FOR PEACHES
GROWER PROFITS LESS THAN
OTHERS WHO PARTICIPATE
IN "ELBERTA HARVEST"

II is estimated that there will be at
least 600 car loads OF peaches shipped
from Logan county within the next
ten days. The price now paid aver
ages so cents the bushel That means
that the peach grower will make but
little money Every one else, however,
who has anything to do with the
peach harvest will make some money.
The picker and packer profits most,
unless it is the fellow who sells the
peach basket and crate. After the
crop is finally gathered il is figured
that $4,000 will have accrued in
wages and profits to the growers. The
balance of the money derived from
the crop will go to the railroads, the
Ice man and the crate seller.

TIP GIVEN PHYSICIAN
THAT "DEN' EXISTS
DOPSTER HIRED BY SECRET
ORDER" TO "C00k THE
DOPE" Is RUM0R

Are Guthrie boys and girls becom
ing addicted to the use of opium?
That is the thing that is just now
agitating the minds of local officers
and some parents
That an "oplum den" is being op-
Grated in or near the city is the in
formation given the officers, and II
is whispered that number of boys
and girls of prominent families are
habitues of the den Where the
opium comes from and how 1t
is secured is mystifying. But that 1t
is used is certain. Several cases are
now being treated by local physicians
and from one of the victims comes
the first intimation that the opium
den" exists.
Federal officers are also quietly
working on the matter with the OBJ
ject of catching the dispenser of the
dope"
One well known dope cooker who
is known all over the country was
in Guthrie this week and it is pre-
sumed that he was sent Tor to give
lessons to the noyieiats in preparing
dope" for the pipe.
Another menace to the youth of
the city rs the cigaret smoking habit.
1t is said that many girls as well as
boys, all under the prescribed limit
of 10 years indulge in this habit. And
this habit is not alone confined to
Guthrie and Oklahoma towns.
Los Angeles has established con-
fidential bureau, exclusively for girls,
in a downtown office with an attend
ant doctor and assistant, an guar
dian angel in charge, to deal with
the "cigaret VS.. the young girl" prob
lem.
Are such bureaus needed in other
one needed here?
Any girl may get treatment to cure
herself of smoking by applying in
writing, by telephone or in person to
the Los Angeles bureau. The girl's S
identity is kept secret.
Lieutenant Leo Marden, head of
the Los Angeles police, originated
this plan. The office in that city
was established in answer to a grow
ing demand, and was an outgrowth
Of the regular free cigaret cline or
ganized by Lieut.. Marden, May 27 at
police headquarters. In that clinic
there had been 1000 patients up to
the end of July.
