HIGH SCHOOL TO
DEBATE HUMBOLDT
Webster City Represented by Two
Strong Teams in Coming
Forensic Contest.

Final arrangements have recently
been completed by the local high
school management for the opening
interscholastic debates of the sea-
son. Humboldt High School will be
met on Friday evening, January IA.
Each high school will be represent
ed by two teams, on opposite sides
of the same question, the negative
team for each school debating, the
visitors on the home platform.
The Webster City teams are both
composed in part of experienced de-
baters, and it is hoped that they
will be able to make a showing suf-
ficient to carry off the laurels of vic
tory. In the dual debate with Hum
boldt last year, the local teams won
Unanimously at home but lost by
2ito l decision at Humboldt. The
question to be argued this year Is
the legal minimum wage proposal
for unskiIled labor, the same ques-
ton which high schools all over the
state are debating in the Iowa State
League. If Webster City wins the
home debate in the coming contest,
the school will be entitled to debate
some other winning school in the
state series, the final goal being the
state championship debate next May
at Iowa City.
Webster City's affirmative team,
which goes to Humboldt, is captain
ed by Merville Gilmore, a member or
the team which debated last year at
spencer. His colleagues. Harold
Lane and Arthur Wahl, are inexper-
fenced in interscholastic work, but
made an excellent impression in the
preliminary contest at which the
teams were chosen.
On the Webster City platform, the
team will be led by Anthony Spar
Doe, representing the school for his
third and final year. George Worth
ington, who debated last year
against Humboldt, and Mckinley
Mccullough are the other speakers.
Negotiations are also under way
for girls debate with the girls OF
Algona High School. This debate
will probably occur later in the win
ter. olive Bateman. who twice rep
resented the school last year. viii
captain this team, and Lila Neel and
Grace Worthington will comprise
the remainder of the team. This -
the first time in the history OF the
school that a team composed wholly
of girls has been formed, but the
showing made by the feminine mem
beers of last years teams indicates
that the power OF effective public
speaking is by no means confined to
the sterner sex.
A fourth debate later in the year
is also being planned. This team
will be composed of Leigh Bateman,
George Calkins, and a third debater
to be selected from one Of the 9TH
er teams. The debate schedule Is
one of the heaviest ever undertaken
by the Webster City High School,
and interest in this form of contest
is constantly increasing among the
students. Mr.. NJ. L. Mitchell has
charge of this branch of work this
year and has labored long and faith
fully for the success of the local
teams.

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

As one state after another outlaws the drink traffic the astonished liquor men ask, Whats the matter. any way" That question is easily an swered. The thing that's all wrong is liquor itself, and the people are find ing it out The dispensary plan; the high license plan; the government owned saloon; the family liquor store; Sunday closing; early closing; strict supervision; abolishment of free lunch. music, tables and games: the system of having only one saloon to so many population; local option-all of these arc mere subterfuges They are quack remedies. They do not go to tAe root of the evil which is liquor itself The only cure for the liquor evil is the complete prohibition of it's manufacture and sale in the whole na tion.-Kansas c.ty (Mo) Times.

HOG VACCINATION.

During the last year serum from th2 plant at Little Rock, conducted by the Veterinary Department of the Col lege of Agriculture, has been sent to every county in Arkansas, and men from the office of the State Veterinar- ian and the county agricultural agents have vaccinated hogs in every county. In many counties about half the time of these agents has been devoted to this work, to the neglect of regular farm demonstrations. In hundreds of cases agents have spent four hours on the road, going and coming, and thirty minutes in vaccinating three or four hogs. Farmers can not afford to have their agents use their time in that way. There is only one remedy and that is for each farmer to vaccin- ate his own hogs or for the farmers of a neighborhood to arrange for one or two neighbors to do it. Don't make a first class agent do all this work. One county agent in Arkansas has fifty farmers with instruments, and Q progressive banker in the county seat keeps a supply of serum on hand all the time and the agent has time to attend to farm demonstrations and to the boys.

< HAPPY MARRIAGE MAY DEPEND ON RUNNING THE
 FURNACE PROPERLY

In the June Woman's Home Com panion a settled married man asks: What use is there in a man making a success of his profession if his wife and young children are going to freeze? The very foundation of a serene and decent family life lies in q mans knowing how to run his fur mace properly and with economy. Sending young man to the altar without d proper knowledge of fur naces is a thing next to criminal. It means that his innocent young wife will now broil one minute and freeze the next It means during the first two years of marriage, when people are forming their relations to one an- other, countless nervous irritations will come as a sequence to that ill., managed furnace. Tempers will be wrecked, nasty words, perhaps never to be forgotten, will be uttered, the health and temper of the family will suffer, and the finances of the family inevitably be impaired. The little extra fund of money that should go for recreation will fly up the chimney caused by drafts left imprudently open"

BOYS AS PARTNERS.

Farmers are neglecting a vital thing in the education of their boys in agriculture when they fail to enter into partnership with them in the growing of livestock. The fathers of the two thousand 'pig club" boys in Arkansas are wise and it will be a fine thing if they will go right from pigs to hogs and calves and colts. Help the boy make money and at the same time help his character by en- couraging him in the handling and owning of good stock. Make a fair and square contract with the boy and tie him to agriculture and help him to practical agricultural education

pRoHIsITIoN GOVERNORS.

Each of the seven states which out lawed the liquor traffic January l is | fortunate in having a governor who is heartily in favor of prohibition and will uphold the law.
 Governor Carlson of Colorado says he will enforce it even to the extent of calling upon the state militia. Gov ernor Lester of Washington urges an appropriation of s50,000 to be used in enforcement Governor Withy- combe of Oregon expresses confidence that an overwhelming majority of the citizens of the state mean to see that the provisions of the law are lived up to and that they may count upon his help to the utmost. Governor Alex ander's vigorous championship of the statutory prohibition law of Idaho is well known. and his personal influence was used to secure the referendum on the constitutional amendment to be taken next November.
 When Governor Hay of Arkansas signed the prohibition bill, he said: Il believe the most manly act of my life, an act that will mean much to me, to my conscience, to my wife, to my two little boys. and to the people of the state to which I owe so much. was the act performed when l placed my sig nature to the bill which gave Arkansas statewide prohibition"
 The attitude of Governor Clarke of Iowa is indicated by his remarks when he signed the measure repeating the mulct law and putting into effect state wide prohibition; The banishment of the saloon ought to mean the enamel patton of many laborlng man, the joy of the wife in his home. better conditions and better outlook on life for his child"
 South Carolinas governor in his
 New Years greeting declared that, With the help of God and the sup i port of the people the prohibition law shall be rigidly enforced so long as ! l am governor"
