HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
DEFEATED RED LAKE
Contest With Crookston is Next on
the Schedulc-NIay Debate
u on February 1.

The high school won a strongly
fought debate from Red Lake Falls
at that city last night by a two to n
decision of the judges, the debate be-
ing on the minimum wage question
with the local team supporting the
affirmative.
Both cams established many
strong arguments in the constructive
speeches and all the speakers were
especially strong in the rebutal argu-
ments,, the local team however was
able to make many big dents in the
nj Of the negative debaters and
picked numerous flaws in the argu-
ments they had advanced.
East Grand Forks was represented
by Crawford Dangerfield. James Mis-
bet and Agnes O'Connell. coached by
Miss Margaret McCune of tho high
school faculty. Red Lake Falls was
represented by Reuel Dettling, Maur-
ice Sief and Bernetta Pouliot.
Crookston has eliminated the Foss-
ton high school in the district contest
and will meet East Grand Forks in
the near future it being probable that
the cha will be held on February
the state championship several years
ago and the local school won the
championship in 1915 and both
schools will work hard to maintain
their old standards. Crookston will be
represented by Mildred Strander, AL
bert Mills and Maurice Mills, support
Ing h affirmative side of the debate
question. The East Grand Forks team,
will be forced to change sides and
uphold the negative side of the cues
ton in the CrOokStOn. debate

from the president, e. X. Strathy,
Amateurs apparently, police say, they
became frightened while at work
and shouted their commands in such
a loud tone as to call neighboring
merchants to the bank.
After locking five employees in the
vault, the robbers ran for a waiting
automobile, dropping bills for half a
block, and escaped. Passing ma
chimes took up the chase but dropped
it when n driver was shot through
the leg. Nearly 5000 in bills dropped
by the bandits has been returned to
the bank.
