A trial debate was conducted
Wednesday morning in the Senior
High Assembly for the purpose of
choosing a team to represent the
school at. Long Prairie on December
the 18th. The question was, ere
solved: "That an Industrial Court of
Adjudication similar to that of
Kansas be established in Minnesota"
Some arguments worthy of deep
thinking were brought forth both pro
an con. The decision was two to one
in favor of the affirmative. We GER
tainly feel confident and proud to
send the team which consists of Ivy
Hildebrand, Pauline Klonne, and Vim
cent Kenna, to represent us.
How many of us remember when
mother used to give us cooky when
we were good? Well, every one had
his American History lesson unusual
ly prepared Monday. Why? The
skating is good!
The State Normal exhibit is being
shown in our department for the bene-
fit of the students under the able tu-
torship of Miss Davis.
The Seniors are beginning to lose
their patience while waiting for the
graduating rings to arrive.
The Junior High School has organ
lied four Literary Societies. They
will meet once each month.
We have two home authors. How
about sending forth into the world
cartoonist? Arnold Janecke, of the
Junior High. holds all promises of be-
coming Sid Smith the second.
Miss Margaret Dundas of Argyle,
Minnesota, has taken the First grade
position which was made vacant by
the resignation of Miss Brodt.
We have always put a lot of stock
in our Basket Ball boys. The high
school team is whipping into shape
rapidly. Because Of the fact that
there are Is competitors for the first
team, it is hard to see just who will
make the goal. Coach Morgan has ar
ranged heavy schedule for this year,
which includes Alexandria, Glen
wood. Melrose, Long Prairie, Osakis,
Staples and probably Fergus Falls.
Remember this-The first real game
will be played here with Osakis on
December the 21st.
Our high standard in marks is be-
ing well supported this year. The
pupils making an average grade of
80 and above for the first six weeks
were as follows: Fay Parker, Evelyn
Kusba, Aylmer Crickmer, Irene En-
meek. Ivy Hildebrand, Mable Orth,
Velma Randall, Maude Robinson, and
Bernard Schoenhoff. The second six
weeks showed an increase -Henriet-
ia Crickmer, Pauline Klonne, Beatrice
Martin, Harry Palmer, Aylmer Crick-
mer. Irene Emmeck, Ivy Hildebrand,
Mable Ortiz, Velma Randall, Maude
Robinson, and Bernard Schoenhoff.
We hope to make still greater inn
provement for the next Honor Roll.

Gives Ten Reasons for
Proposed Highway Bonds
Department Bulletin Advances Con-
sideratiOns in Support of Recon-
mendatiOns to Legislature

Officials expressing confidence that
the proposal for first trunk highway
bonds by the next legislature will be
acted upon favorably, if fully and cor
rectly understood a new bulletin from
the state highway department pub
lished the following:
PLAN Is Just Good Business.
Hundreds of districts in the state
virtually all-borrow to build schools,
and there are as good or better rea-
sons for borrowing to build roads; al
so state credit is good, exceeding
debts by nearly SIP for every man,
woman and child in the state.
2-No Increase in Road Taxes. I'm
der the state constitution only motor
vehicle. taxes and federal aid can be
used on the trunk highway, and gaso-
line, tire and other savings through
better roads already more than offset
automobile and truck taxes.
3-Local Road Taxes Dropping. Re-
Geved under the Babcock plan of the
big expense of improving and main
tc&AiIlilS Vic
townships and cities and villages are
levying less road and bridge taxes, a
cut of nearly $1,000, 900 having come
the first year.
Good Roads Economy Proved.
Recent practical tests by recognized
experts show that the savings possible
on gasoline and tires alone would pay
the full cost, with interest, of paving
the entire 1000 mile system of Min
nesota trunk highways in a period of
five ytars.
5-Pay AS You Use Policy Sound.
Minnesota like other states is putting
nearly half of it's highway construc-
ton funds into foundations-grad
thing, etc. good for all time, and
fairness and good business demands
spreading of costs over the years the
roads will be used.
efficient Organization Now.

Fdllacious Argument

ELEVATOR ARTHUR CAPPER- of Kansas, speaking
- on the pending tariff bill in the senate says;
~One cs the stock arguments of the international
fsts opposing tariff legislation is that il we give our
industries and agriculture the protection they need
Europe cannot pay her loans to this country. L wish
70 saw frankly that if the price We have to pay Tor
our foreign debts is the destruction of American agr-
culture and industry then it would be better II these
debts were never paid Why should we rum our
Great business, the very foundation of our wealth to
make it easier for our debtors to pay us when they
or their part are not leaving a stone unturned IN
protecting their own interests"
This is exactly in line with Mr.. Hardings express
Mons in his annual message to congress IN December.
In that portion of the message which touched upon
she tariff the president said: "It is not an unworthy
selfishness to seek to save ourselves. We seek to
undermine for others no industry by which they sub
sist, and we are not obligated to permit the under
mining of any of our own which make for employ
ment and maintained activities" At another point
in his message President Harding said: cit is not to
be argued that we need destroy ourselves TO be help
full to others"
throughout the tariff discussion upon which the senate
is now entering. The free trade influences are con-
tinualiy harping upon the alleged unwisdom Of build
ing a protective tariff wall around this country upon
the theory that to do so will prevent our European
debtors ever making enough to repay US or ever
becoming sufficiently prosperous to buy American
goods.
The farlacy of this is a. once apparent II we
destroy our home industries by permitting home mar
kets to be exploited by foreign industries we thereby
do two things. We destroy our productive industries
and if we cannot produce we certainly cannot sell.
At the same time, by destroying our industrial pro-
ductivity, we directly bring about the unemployment
OF millions of industrial workers. This absolutely
destroys their ability to buy either of the importer
the home manufacturer or the American farmer
Therefore, to permit our home market to be flooded
with foreign goods which are sold in this country at
a less price than they can be produced in this country
is to destroy both our ability to sell and our ability
TO buy. The logical and inevitable outcome of such
a policy would not be the enrichment and upbuilding
of Europe but would be the impoverishment of the
United States, the dragging of this country down to
the economic level of Europe.

Depression Waning

EUGENE MEYER, managing director of the war
~ finance corporation, recently made a trip through
the agricultural and livestock sections of the United
States which carried him to the Pacific coast. His
conclusions are that 'the severe and Unprecedented
depression which dealt such a blow to tho agricultural
interests IS in some sections of the country a thing
of the past; in other sections it is rapidly passing; and
everywhere hope and confidence are taking the place
of despair which six months ago was SO widely preya-
lent"
The work of the war finance corporation in enab-
ling the smaller country banks to carry their farmer
customers for a longer period has been a vital factor
in stopping forced liquidation. Funds are aecumulat-
ing in the western banking centers which in general
appear to be adequately taking care of the needs of
farmers. There is a noteworthy Increase in the de-
mand for farm mortgages on the part of private in
vsstors, savings banks, life insurance companies and
similar investment institutions.
Mr.. Meyer makes a number OF specifications and
recommendations looking to the Improvement of the
banking situation in agricultural districts and the
development of a more adequate system of agricul-
tural and livestock financing. Summarized they are
as follows:
izing the organization of institutions to rediscount
the paper of livestock loan companies, and the estab-
Iishment of a system for the more ADEQUATE super-
vision and inspection of the livestock which furnishes
security for the paper.
(2) Frank recognition of the need for the orderly
marketing of our agricultural products in a more
gradual way and over a longer period and the adjust
ment of existing banking laws and regulations with
this end in view.
(3) Establishment of a rediscount facility to make
it possible at all times for cooperative marketing
organizations to obtain adequate funds for their
operations.
() Extension Of the powers of the Federal Re.
serve Banks to include the purchase in the open mar.
ket OF eligible paper secured by ncn-perishable agri
cultural commodities, properly warehoused.
l5) encouragement of state non-member hanks
to enter the federal reserve system, and reduction OF
minimum capital required for admission to the sys
tem-admission in such cases to be conditioned upor
