State Debating League; Have
Affirmative.
Maximum, 60; minimum, 80.

Arguing for the affirmative side
OF the question, "Resolyed, That the
United States should adopt univer-
sal military training" the Chickasha
senior high school debating trio won
unanimous decision over tae Hen
nessey high school orators here last
night.
The local team centered its con
structive argument for the most part
around four salient points, that uni
versal military training is necessa-
ry, is democratic in principle, will
improve a mans physical body and
at the same time teach him a voca-
tion, and that universal military
training Is economically correct.
The speeches of the negative were
in the nature of appeals and general
refutations of the affirmative asser-
IONS. In few cases did the mega
tive pick out any single point of the
affirmatiye's argument in an effort
20 refute that point individually. In
stead their rebuttal work took the
form Of set speeches wnith were cal
culated to deny any point that their
opponents might bring out 1t was
plain that their logic fell short of its
aim in several instances with the
result that the c. II. S. team clinch.

i've did not attempt to refute ex-
EFT in a general way
While Wayne Sanders delivered
IN extraordinarily effective construc

bes. SPEAKER and all in all the best
lebater, on the local team in The ar
gument last night. The. Hennessey

a Weimer and Irene Helms ana
Ralpf Wills. Miss Weimer, lie Wis
itors' .ilsi speaker, was con sidered

the lIennessey aggregation.
The judges of the argument were
Ernest Howell of the state normal
school at Edmond, A. Linchid of the
department of English of the univer-
sity of Oklahoma, and Richard H
Cloyd. secretary of the o. u. Alumni
association.
The debate was preceded by pi-
lno solo by Miss Ruth LAGER and
was followed by readings by Miss
Ruby Lee Rice and an informal re-
ception and mixer in the Y. NJ and
Y. W. rooms.
1t is pointed out that only five un-
defeated teams remain in district
number five of the Oklahoma high
school debating league. OF this
number Chickasha is one and will
debate the winner of the Duncan
Ell Reno argument at a date to be
announced later.
The affirmative team of the c. II

RUMMAeE SALE WORTH WHILE
Occasions When Things Of Greater

Be Disposed OF.

Did you ever attend one? Here on
a table is old Browns silk hat that
he wore to church many years and
now that he's gone 1t has been sent
by his family TO the rummage sale to
be disposed of for the benefit Of the
church.
And there on the counter is an old
china pug dog that used to guard the
mantelpiece In somebody's house.
And on a rack hangs the Prince Al
bert coat that some fellow wore when
he was married and which his wife
kept as a treasured thing through the
years; now she has given it away be-
cause the sentiment that attached to
II Is dead and has iuttered away like
last years leaf.
They are handy institutions, these
rummage sales, enabling one, as they
do. to give away for good purposes
what he no longer needs or wants or
cares for. He holds on to such things
a long time and then one day he gets
tired seeing them around and away
they 90 to the rummage sale, the sec
ond-hand store and the rag shop.
But the rummage Of minds and
characters most people hold on to and
cherish forever. To their dying days
they keep old and wornout prejudlces
and fight hard for them.
They hold and feed c~ankering hates
and .enyies as things Of great value,
worth treasuring In their hearts
They keep fast to habits, knowing
they are bad, but lacking the will or
the courage to throw them of.
They cast off only good resolutions
and intentions because they interfere
too much with comfort.
The next time you gather together
your old clothes for the rummage sale
and you have packed II all in one
bundle, suppose you say to yourself:
Lets see, what have / left outf
What else is there that l ought to
