Discussion Of Preparedness on the
Part OF Junior High School
Students

Wellsville, March SIN the Liter
airy Digest class a course instituted
in the Junior High School by Robert
Major, instructor in English an in
tensely interesting debate was held
this afternoon on preparedness. Ten
students debated. Those for the af.
timative were Ernest Woodward, Ad.
die Allen, Charles Vaughan. Evan
Murray and Thomas Williamson.
Those on the negative side were
Jane Leatham, Maurice Parkinson,
Sara Haslam, Maud Gunnell and Josh
Gunnell. Members of the class acted
as judges. The affirmative won by a
vote of IA to IL.
A remarkable knowledge of the
European war, the resources of the
nations, territory conquered, cabinet
changes, location of cities, etc was
displayed by the students, also a
surprising ability to think on their
feet. the first essential in debating.
Evan Murray in his rebuttal gave
fiery defense for preparedness and
without notes disproved as far as
time would permit the argument pre-
scented by the negative. Maurice Par
kinson who closed the debate for the
negative advanced in a cool witty IA
shion some damaging disproofs.
The class in Literary Digest is
very popular among the students. II
is voluntary and relieves the strain
of other subjects. 1t is taught in
connection with ancient history as a
means of linking the present to the
past.

willing to back Wilson, "but we show

Another letter, from the same

to members of the local Republican

probably the most fearful appeal to
"get busy" which has yet been sent
out. 1t expresses good deal of wor-
ry over an adverse result in Ohio,

pected later The Hughes rooters

home two miles east of Lakeville.
Mr. Hostettler and his hired men
we're in field husking corn when the
storm approached. The hired men
drove the team with a load of corn
and Mr.. Hostettler started to walk
across the field to put some machin-

He was about the center of the
field when there was flash of light

He rushed to his side and found his
employer dead.
His hat was torn from his head and
his coat and sweater were severed in

into the house and prepared for bur

A peculiar feature of his tragic
death was the fact that his shoe

shoes were not damaged and there
were holes burned in his socks
There were streaks down his bach
and limbs.

TALKS ABOUT FAKE
RAILWAY SPEAKERS

when | see a man announced to
speak against the reelection of Pres
ident Wilson advertised as a shop
man or a railroad man." said an en-
ploye of the Pennsylvania railroad
shops who is Republican, ~ look
upon him with great deal of sus'
picion. Every shopman knows of the
fake shopmen who have been hired
to go among legitimate shopmen, but
they have failed in their mission to
accomplish anything against Presi
dent Wilson. Down in Chillicothe
one of these takers undertook to mis-
represent Wilson and got a good
calling down in the meeting by an
employe of the B. & o. shops in thai
city. The faker ducked from the
meeting and hastened to the Sciotc
Valley traction road station and
caught a car out of town. l guess
none of these takers will visit Chilli
cothe again. All the shopmen of Mt
Vernon are wise to those takers and
any effort they might make in this
city to poison shopmen against Presi
dent Wilson will not be successful
There is plenty of money for those
who are debased enough to take II
and go about fighting Wilson. Shop
men have no use for them. They
know there are Judas Iscariots in this
day, but they are pulling down more
than thirty pieces of silver for theil
unprincipled work. The shopmen O.

WILSON MONEY
GOES BEGGING

In betting circles of Mt. Vernon
there is no Hughes money in sight.
Wilson supporters who are inclined
to back their judgment with their
coin have been making all kinds of
efforts to place wagers on Wilson's
election, but can find no takers. The
only possibility Thursday night was
report that a Hughes man wanted
to bet that Wilson's majority in Ohio
would not be over seventy-five thou
sand, but efforts to locate him were
fruitless.
