WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Local Inter-Class High School Debate
Held at High School Assembly
Room Last Evening.

The final inter-class debate for the
Caughren cup took place Wednesday
night at the high school auditorium.
The question, "Resolved That the
United States Should Materially In
crease It's Armament" was argued by
the Freshmen team, who had pre-
viously defeated the Sophomores on
the same question, and the Seniors,
victors over the Junior class. The af-
frmative was supported by the first
year students, Solomon Dewey, Flor
ence Hennemann and Glen Bohall and
the negative by Maud Gingery, Helen
Allen and Hazel Rosenberger, repre-
senting the Seniors. Attorney Kelsey
presided. Miss Esther Sprague, L. L.
Kells and DR.. Moynihan acted as
judges. The decision was unanimous
in favor Of the negative and accord
ing to the established custom the
8 seniors will have their names en-
graved upon the cup to commemorate
the victory. The outstanding feature
of the contest was the fine work of
Miss Hennemann in rebuttal. Music
was furnished by the High School
band, and the crowd assembled taxed
the capacity of the Assembly room.

TWO MONSTER PICKEREL
SPEARED IN LOCAL LAX Els;
LARGEST ONE is MOUNTED

Two monster pickerel have
been speared recently in local
lakes. Horace Jackson, residing
six miles north of the city on the
shores of Sank Lake, harpooned
specimen weighing 251a
pounds, measuring Al inches in
length and % inches in girth.
The fish was turned over to the
officers of the Commercial Club,
who had it stuffed and mounted
and will make of it a decoration
on the walls of the club rooms.
Last Sunday, Charlie Johnson
and Art Brecount, spearing at
Fairy lake, landed a specimen
weighing % pounds and measur-
ing 40 inches in length. Johnson
and Brecount give a vivid recital
of their experience. Brecount
shot his spear at the pickerel
and made a hit near the tail.
Immediately Johnson came to
the rescue but before he could
shoot his harpoon into the pick
erels head Brecount had been
drawn into the hole to his
shoulders trying to hold his
quarry. These are two of the
largest snakes" which have
ever been fished out of local
waters.

CHAU7AUQUA MAN
WANTS DATES HERE
COMMERCIAL CLUB
BUT is GIVEN LITTLE EN-
COURAGEMENT
CITIZENS BALk AT GUARANTEE
CHURCH LEADERS AND CLUB
OFFICERS EXPRESS FAVOR;
GIVE MORAL SUPPORT

Myron E.. Weisenberger represent
ing the Bertram Lyceum and Chau-
tauqua Bureau, Minneapolis, was here
last week feeling the pulse of the city
regarding a chautauqua in Sank Cen
tire this summer. He addressed the
meeting of the Commercial Club on
Friday night; he discussed the project
with ministers, with officers of clubs
and societies, with leaders in educa-
tional movements; he sounded bust
ness men. When he had concluded his
investigation he found the pulse very
strong for chautauGua insofar as
the giving of moral support was con-
cerned but decidedly weak concerning
the putting up of financial guaran-
tee to the bureau. However, Mr..
Weisenberger before his departure on
Saturday said he was not entirely dis
couraged and would return to Sank
Centre the latter part of this week.
The matter was quite thoroughly
threshed out at the Commercial Club
meeting. Weisenberger explained his
proposition and said his bureau would
furnish five-day entertainment of
high class for a $500 guarantee and
gate receipts or for $500 outright and
the city to take the receipts. This
would include the supplying of tents
and all chautauqua appurtenances.
Asa M. Wallace voiced the senti-
ment of the meeting when he stated
that Sank Centre had chautauqua
a few years ago, that the committee
in charge by strenuous work "put it
across" financially, but that the ex-
periences gained at that time killed
any great sentiment at this time for
another chautauqua. He poined out
that chautauquas were money-making
institutions and if they were such
drawing cards as represented they
should not ask communities to put up
large money guarantees but should
stand on their own bottom.
President Cooper and DR.. H. F.
Hennemann both agreed that chau-
tauquas are good things but reiterat-
ed the statement of Mr.. Wallace that
at the present time the people of the
city neither care to get out and hustle
to make chautauqua successful nor
do they feel inclined to put up big
guarantee. Bushes men are chary
because Of past experiences in guar
antees they said.
Rev. r. w. Duel said he had found
considerable favor for. a chautauqua
and suggested 'co-ordination of So
scieties and clubs from which man.
aging committee could be selected to
swing the project. The Commercial
Club took no action but suggested he
sound out the plan as suggested by
Rev. Duel. y&..

store of Hilsdale & Tully. When Mr..
Hilsdale received the appointment as
postmaster in 1895, the office was
then placed in direct charge of Mr..
Boobar, who retired with Mr.. Hilsdale
in 1900. Shortly after this he organ
lied Rural route No. 1, running out
of Sank Centre, and was carrier on
this route until the bondsmen of the
the postmaster turned the office over
to Mr.. Boobar in October, 1908.
President Roosevelt appointed Mr.
Boobar postmaster in November, 1908
but he did not assume charge of the
office until Jan. 1, 1904, after the
auditor for the government had thor
oughly gone over the affairs of the
office. He was re-appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in January, 1908, and
President Taft named him to succeed
himself in January, 1912.
During the years Mr.. Boobar has
been postmaster the local office has
passed through the transitory period
of growth and development. Several
times during his administration the
office has been increased in import
ance and responsibility until at the
present time it is generally recognized
as one of the very best second-class
offices in Minnesota.
The retiring postmaster is some
what unsettled as to his future plans
He will continue to make Sank Cen
tire his home in any event. The prob
abilities are that for time at least
he will take life easy.
