and that his knowledge, as rule, costs
him about as much. The demand for

knows how to raise beautiful buds,

Queen of Qualities.

Availability cannot atone for lack OF

agreeable, but limp and inert in the
presence Of difficulties, do not COM

WILL DEBATE
FOR TITLE
oTTUMWA HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
TO MEET lNDIANOLA HERE
FRIDAY NIGHT

Friday evening March 8, the Ottum-
wa high school debating team will
meet the Indianola team to debate for
the championship Of southeastern Iowa.
The debate will be held in the auditor
ium of the high school building, start
ing promptly at o'clock.
This is the first time that champ
ionship debate has been brought to Of
tumwa for several years and large
crowd is expected to attend it. Both
teams have won in several contests
this season so this one will doubtless
be the best debate of the season thus
far. Although the local team was ham
dicapped to some extent because of the
recent illness of two of the boys, it is
now in first class condition and feels
entirely capable of meeting it's oppos-
ing title seeker tomorrow evening.
The winning of this debate means
the southeastern Iowa championship
and the o. II. S. students are expert
encing mutual feeling of determination,
which is certain to give the team even
greater inspiration. Ottumwa will have
the negative side Of the question: Re
solved that the government should own
and control the railroads of the U. S.
1t is a timely question and new infor-
nation is brought to light on the sub
ject almost every day. The local team
is making use of this advantage and is
prepared to meet all recently obtained
arguments which Indianola will no
doubt bring up.

in which the church is called to bear
the brunt of service were used as Il
theme by DR.. J. Arthur Edwards, or
Washington, D. c., in his Lenten adj
dress at the First Methodist church
last night.
The environments, the city centers
and the health realm were all
treated by the speaker. The work
of mothering the girls of near
cantonments. the danger of al
tracing undesirable people to the cit'
by fabulous wages and the prevention
of all disease, especially tuberculosis
furnished the speaker with material
for a strong address.
"And the church must play its part
now that it may not miss its oppor-
tunity," said the speaker in conclud-
ing his address. DR.. Days vesper adj
dress was "The Art OF Optimism" and
