KENNEWICK GETS
SECOND in DEBATE
Ellensburg High School Wins
Championship of South Gen.
trail District
(by School Correspondent


The Kennewick Interscholastic de-.
batting team won second place among
the interscholastic debating teams of
the south central district this year.
The Ellensburg team won the
championship. Twelve teams signed
up for the debating but one withdrew
after the last one came in, so that
while only five debates were actually
held, there were six scheduled to de-
bate, SO there were four teams that
won two decisions by default. There
were twenty-four decisions rendered,
the affirmative side won seven and the
negative seventeen.
In the last two years Kennewick
has twice won the championship and
twice won second place.
Win Pasco Debate
The last one Of the series Of debates
in the Benton and Franklin counties
debate league took place last Friday
night in Pasco between teams repre-
senting the high schools Of the two
towns and resulted in clear victory
for the Kennewick team, which has
won 2 of its contests this year, Sc
curing victories from Pasco and Pros
ser and losing to Nona. The team
has improved greatly during the year
and shows unusual ability both ip di-
rect argument and rebuttal, the re-
buttal work in the contest at Pasco be-
ing very much superior to the rebut-
tai of the opposing team. This closes
the series of contests for the county
league team, as Nona, Kennewick
and Pasco have each won two contests
and will not attempt to debate of the
tie to decide the championship of the
bi-county league. Professor Simmons
of Whitman college acted as Judge at
the last debate.
The members Of this team are all
juniors, Norman Lynch and Burdette
Hoadley debating this year for the
first time, while Stanley Randolph
was last year a member of the team
which won the championship Of the
county gaining a victory in all con.
tests participated in. They have been
coached by Miss Opal Bonsall this
year, who acted also as coach OF the
county league team last year. All
three debaters expect to debate nex'
year as members Of the interscholas-
tic team.

II these questions can be answered
IN the affirmative the Princess Thea
tre will not begin to hold the people
who will want to attend the big pa
triotic rally next Tuesday evening,
April 8. Not many nights ago there
were turned away from the theatre
doors scores who were eager to pay
so cents to see the foolish antics OF To-
cal citizens at minstrel show. Tues
day night there will be no admission
charge and there will be no foolish
antics but the crowd should be there
even in greater numbers than on that
former occasion.
The rally is to be held under the
auspices of the local D. A. r. auxil-
iary Of the American Red Cross which
has just been organized. The local
organization is but part of the pre-
paredness program which has been
undertaken by loyal women in all
parts of the United States. These vol
aunteer workers are now putting forth
every effort to furnish the Red Cross
with sufficient quantity of non-per-
ishable goods to meet the first over
whelming demands should our country
be involved in war. These goods in
clude housewives" for the soldiers,
tooth paste and soap and hospital ac-
cessories.
Altho this work was not started
here until the first Of the week more
than one hundred of these "house-
wives" have been pledged by patriotic
women. These housewives" are small
cloth folders containing pair of scis-
sors, half a dozen safety pins, dozen
needles, dozen buttons, thread and
court plaster or adhesive tape. It is
the intention Of the Auxiliary to fur
nish materials for these housewives
and to request the ladies of the com.
munity to make them. One Of the
purposes of Tuesdays rally is to raise
funds with which to purchase these
materials and other articles requested
by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross work has been start.
ed here thru the agency of the loca
chapter D. A. R., and at the organiza
ton meeting Regent Mrs. Averil
Beavers was chosen president ant
MRS. Geo. D. Peters, secretary-treas
urer of the auxiliary. Mrs. Edwart
sheppard and Mrs. Thos. McKair
were named as a finance committes
and it is thru their efforts that Tues
days rally has been called.
The rally will start promptly a

AURRAH FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The flood gates of patriotism opened
wide in the last hours of the time
limit and the Liberty Loan was over
subscribed by hundreds of millions.
The great heart of the country is
sound. 1t loosened its purse strings
in response to the call. giving full and
abundant proof to all doubters. that
America is in this war with all her
resources and out to win no matter
how long or how hard the struggle
may be.
The citizens of Missoua may be
proud of their part of the work. They
responded nobly. 1t may be said, too,
for the information of Secretary Nc
Adoo, that no credit for Missoula is to
be attached to his hired press agents.
Their copy was dropped into the
Wastebaskct. The administrations plan
of advertising the Liberty Loan, like
a small town circus, did not appeal to
Missoula. The people in these noun
tains did not require the services of
cast off toutcrs of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to make them see
and perform their duty

COST OF ADVERTISING.

Any estimate of the money that goes
into advertising in the United States

more than guess. From different
sources get widely divergent opinions.
One authority estimates the total, in
Guiding all forms of printed advertis-
ing. at $3.50, 100000 a year. In this he
includes newspaper advertising as
s@75, 100000, of which he says $75,000,-
900 comes from the national adver-
tisers.
Magazine advertising. emitting mail
order magazines. is estimated from
i5.0G0,O 900 to $50. 100000. Various es-
Inmates give others items as follows:
Circulars, booklets and form letters,
Sl00,000.000; farm and mail order ad-
vertising. S75.00O.OO0: department

JANE adams IN ERROR.

Our admiration for the work OF
Jane Adams is so great that we all
but yield to a temptation 10 overlook
her mental jay walking with regard to
the war.
No woman in the land has rendered
better service for humanity. Indeed.
we do not recall any man of this gen
Grafton whose services have been
greater. Hull House, founded by Miss
Adams, Is known the world over as a
place where citizenship has been
taught in the highest and most prac-
ucal form. 1t Is not. as some far away
people seem to think, Il place for dis
pcnsing charity, nor is it way station
lof immigrants. 1t has u much wider
meaning. In the heart of the sums of
that vast melting pot, Chicago, there
IS carried on work of education so
important that its value is almost be-
yond estimate. There arc many thou
sands of foreign born men and women

being back to the work Of Hull House
Miss Adams has been a great load
"r IN raising the standard of living in
chicago just as she has led in sccur-
ing citizenship for the women of
ll'lhols. When she puts her hand to
inc movement for better things there is
not much doubt as to the finish.
With these things in mind, we
greatly regret the peace movement that
Miss adams has undertaken. for she
IS one paclflst, at least, who compels
respect Her horror of war and her
'"Nr OF peace are SO great that we fear
nor usual clear vision of things has
become distorted.

extent which many people expect
The attendance certainly will be
large and thc work will be as eff
Gent and thorough as possible. The
government is urging educational Ia
situations to keep their work up to
standard. Montnna's institutions will
try to do more than that. Special
war courses will be given on the
campus this year. History classes
WILL for example. pay particular at
tention to contemporary history in
accordance with Chancellor Ellott's
determination to make the univcr-
sity means of spreading the truth
about this country's part in the
struggle. Courses in first aid will be
given, too. 1t will be an interesting
session. and because the enrolment
