of t! t week in Omaha as well as in
this city, where Mr. Gering was a

Mr. Rohrer, with a number of

shortly after the noon hour and
fom.il two stills in operation in what
the t'oderal agents state was the re
distilling of medicated alcohol and
which Mr. Gering states was the
perfectly legitimate process of pre
paring the alcohol for the market as
an alcohol rub and not as a bever

that the operation would be perform

With thirty-five nw members
the largest of any of the sixteen
years of its history the Nebraska
high school debating league will soon
begin its district contest the first
of a series of about 100 debates in
the competition for the eleven dis
trict championship honors, the win
ners of which will participate in the
sixteenth state debate tournament
at the University of Nebraska the
middle of May, when the state cham
pionship honors won in 1022 by
North Platte will be decided.
Whether or not Nebraska should
adopt the Kansas industrial court
system is the question six or seven
hundred students are at work on in
preparation for the debates, which
will open about the first of Febru
ary.
Because of the largely increased
membership in the western district,
which has thirteen members, the dis
trict has been divided into western
district I and western district II
(the membership of which is com
posed of seven new schools in the
western end.)
The annual meeting of the league
will be held Friday afternoon, Jan
uary 19, at the conclusion of tiie
session of the argumentation section
of the State Teachers' association.
