Debaters Meet
South Omaha
Fine Showing Made by Local Speakers
at Debate Held at the High
School Yesterday.
From "Wednesday's Dally
Two debate teams, representing
Plattsmouth high school held their
; second argument of the season last
night when they met teams from
South high of Omaha. This was the
second contest in which Plattsmouth
; has engaged an Omaha opponent,
! having met Central high Just before
the holidays.
I The subject was the statewide
(question: " Resolved That the Eng-
I ernment is Preferable to the Amer
' ican Presidential." Plattsmouth was
! represented on the affirmative side
by Dorothy Brink, Mary Bwatek and
; Robert LivingBton who matched ar
1 guments with Robert Anthes, May
! Jensen and Ed Passch of South.
! Plattsmouth's negative trio composed
'of Doris Young, Chris Bulin and
' Clelland Rettlesdorf met Arthur Kaz-
lowsky, Lucille Turner and Russell
Blumenthal, advancing the affirma
tive for South.
I Due of the fact that one of the
largest and most notable squads P.
I H. S. has had for some time has
I been working on the subject for
the past three months, quite a bit of
( interest has been shown by the stu
dent body in the progress of the
j teams. Last evening a small but ap
t preciative audience heard the two
: Plattsmouth teams compare very fav
'orably with the speakers from South
Omaha. It was generally conceded
; that the Plattsmouth speakers out

The drilling for oil at Nehawka is
at an end or for the present at least,
reports from that place state, the ma
chinery on the ground that has been
used in the sinking of the well on
the Pollard farm south of Nehawka
being moved out today and the pros
pect of securing oil at this time has
been abandoned.
The prospects for oil in the Ne
hawka antecline has been the best in
the state, the experts that have view
ed the location agreed, and the hopes
of the residents of all this part of
the state was that the evidences of
oil might be sufficient to encourage
the further drilling in this field of
work must wait some future time,
when other drillers will take up the
work.
An echo of the oil drilling oper
ations was found in the records of
the office of the clerk of the district
court today when two suits were filed
involving sums alleged to be due
members of the drilling crew for
their services.
One suit filed was that of Arthur

several Omaha parties were named as

Just how deep the well has been
the sunk in the drilling operation at Ne
hawka there seems to be a doubt and
many are still of the opinion that
extended drilling operations would
give more favorable results, but as
thi3 is very costly and requires well
financed interests to carry on, it is
much too large a proposition for local
people to handle.
