Bates Debaters
Win Over Girl
Group Of Wellesley

Boston. Dec. 2.-Bates college last
night defeated wellesley college by
two to one vote of the judges in
Wellesley's first debate with team
from boys college. The Bates
representatives showed more finish
in presenting their arguments and
displayed better command OF ma.
terial in their rebuttal.
The subject, Resolved that the
United States should recognize the
existence OF the Russian Govern.
ment," was supported by Elizabeth
Paschal of Lincoln, Neb., president
of the Wellesley Debating Club. and
by Blanche Schnitzer, "a, of New
York, ce-president. Edward Can
non and p. Young represented
Bates.
Miss Paschal. who participated
last year for the first time in de-
bate, was awarded the cup for the
best individual debater last March.
Miss Schnitzer, who was an alter
nate at the Vassar debate last year,
had her first experience in actual
debating last night. Both of the
Bates men began their activities in
1920. The challenge of Bates gave
Wellesley the opportunity Of meet
ing one of the finest teams in the
United States, team that defeated
Oxford's last year.
After the challenge had been ac-
copied, delay was caused by the
difficulty in choosing subject sat-
isfactory to both sides. Bates sug-
gested philosophical question. but
Wellesley refused, since it had re-
Gently debated on 1t. The other
proposition of Bates, that the ques-
ton deal with the national censor
ship of moving pictures, was re-
fused on the ground that 1t was on
the list of the Intercollegiate De-
batting League, of which Wellesley
is a member. On Bates statement
that national restriction of air traf-
fic had only one side, Wellesley's
first suggestion for a subject was
abandoned. At last, on Wellesley's
proposing the present question they
agreed and work began.
The idea of a debate with mans
college came last year, when Marion
johnson of Galva. Ill. at that time
president, declined challenge from
Hazard. It was on her suggestion
that first Harvard and then Dart
mouth we're challenged. On their
declining, Wellesley was Immediate
ly the recipient of a number of chal-
lenges.
Judges DR.. Katherine Gallager Of
Baltimore, Prof. Ralph HOLDEN of
Dartmouth. and Prof. Culver Nc
Gruder of Harvard law school were
entertained at dinner by the presi-
dent. The teams went to a matinee
in the afternoon, and after the de-
bate were entertained at Agora.

Brownie Irons Out Wrinkles In Plot
Veteran Canine Actor in "LittIe

Brownie, the little bull terrier. has
made q name for himself in numer-
GUS pictures. But it remained for
this intelligent animal to be the
pivot of action in Little. Johnny
JONES'" the screen adaptation of the
George NJ. Cohan stage success.
Without him the plot would go to
smithereens. for it is through him
that the rescue of Edith Smythe from
the gang of kidnappers in Lime
house is effected, and without his
cunning the plot of the crooked
gamblers to prevent Johnny Jones,
the Jockey, from shooting past the
winning post would have succeeded.
Brownie snatches the loaded whip
just after Nelson the rival Jockey,
uncorks "phoney" whip and throws
acid into Johnny's eyes, dropping it
to the ground to be picked up by an
accomplice.
"Little Johnny Jones" will play at
the Colonial Theatre today and to-
morrow as the feature attraction.
Johnny Hines, called the George M.
Cohan of the screen, has the star
ring role of Johnny Jones, the jockey.
His supporting cast consists of

INGRAM WANTS
TO CUT EXPENSE
WITH TAX PAYERS ASSIST
ANCE IT CAN BE
DONE.

William Ingram, county asses
sor, spent last Friday afternoon
in Cottonwood on business pre-
tanning to his office. While
here Mr.. Ingram. selected A. H.
Nau as deputy assessor of Cot
tonwood, who at once commen-
ced his assessment work
1t is Mr.. Ingram's intention to
do the assessment work at the
least possible cost, and farmers
can be of material assistance if
they only will, and thereby cut
to some extent at least, their
taxes. When farmers are in
town they are requested to call
at the A. H. Nau Furniture store
and give in their property. II
the deputy assessor has to make
a special trip to assess you, the
natural consequences will be
higher costs in making the as
sessment. If every farmer III
this community will step into the
office of the deputy assessor,
when in town, and give his as
sessment in, it safe to say
that it would save at least
81 on each assessment. Not
much for one but it amounts tc
a snug little sum when these ac-
counts are all put together.
Another item that Mr.. ingram
spoke of was the automobile
/ license fee that were due Janu
airy 1st. All persons having
automobiles must have theil
1928 license or their official re
ceipt before they run their car
on the highways. This law
said Mr.. Ingram, will be enforc
ed by all peace officers in th'
county.

BE CAREFUL.


With the coming of good
weather, it is the natural tend
ency of most auto drivers to
want to cut open their cars and
see how much life is left in the
old buss, but this tendency will
have to be curtailed if we are to
take the word of Cottonwood s
marshal.
Motorist have been disregard
ing the speed limits during the
past year to a great extent, un-
til it is now felt that the speed
with which some drivers are
won't to 90 through the city is
exceedingly dangerous to them
selves, and pedestrians alike.
Violators of the traffic ordi-
nance in Cottonwood 80 times
out of a 100 are residents of this
community and these very same
people when going to outside
points are sure that they obey
all traffic ordinances to the let
ter.
Cottonwood's traffic ordinance
should be enforced by all means,
The city has one exceptionally
bad intersection where someone
is going to be badly hurt if not
killed if motorists are allowed
to drive as reckless as they have
been in the past. Our sugges-
ton is make no exceptions and il
a doctor, banker, merchant
farmer or any one else violates
the traffic rules pinch" hin
and give him the limit.
It's just as easy to obey this
ordinance as to violate it.

DEMONSTRATE RADIO.

A radio demonstration was
given in Cottonwood Saturday
evening at the Hoene Hardware
when Homer Smith represent

company of Spokane demonstra-
ted a Westinghouse electric
radio. The demonstration was
not to the liking of the operator
in the early part Of the evening
but as the night advanced it be-
came much better. About 10:30
the music from the air came in
very plain and distinct. Sunday
evening another demonstration
was made which was good from
the very start. Saturday even
ing appears to have been an Oft
night for radio receiving sta
tions as complaint was also
heard from other sections. The
broadcasting station at Los
Angeles announced Saturday
evening and was heard in Cot
tonwood that a telegram had
been received Saturday evening
from Lewiston, Idaho stating
that a receiving station in that
city was unable to pick up the
"air waves"
A large crowd gathered at the
Hoene Hardware to hear the
