0ratOriCaI and DecIamatory
Contests Excellent and
Are Warmly AppIauded

Every body present at the Wausau
Grand Rapids oratoricaI and decla-
matory contests Friday evening, April
oath, had reason to be proud OF the
work done by the Grand Rapids stu
dents. They took first place in both
contests and held their own in the
other three positions.
Harold Babcock, in the oratoricaI
contest, was conspicuousIy the peer
of his colleagues i'm every way. He
had good voice, clear and distinct,
and was easy and free in his GESTURES
and his articulation was good. He
was cordially received by the stu
dent body on his appearance and heal
tily encored at the close. The other
three boys were fine and Wauaau
took second and third place.
In the decIamatory contest. Miss
Margaret Raglan easily took first
place and won her Iaurels, not only
with great credit to herself, but her
instructor. She exhibited consider
able dramatic art that was very pleas
ig her friends and high school stu
diets.
Agnes Liant, of Wausau, was Sec
ond, Claire Tfmlfn third and Corsuelo
Jaquost fourth. The four young la
dies did nicely, and We're all cordial
Iy encored The young people from
Wausau acquitted themselves with
credit to their instructors and were
heartily encored by the Grand Rapids
people. When its considered that the
debators from Wausau were selected
out of city population of 10000
people and the GRAND Rapids from
5000 population, it's surprising that
we more than held our own.
The program was opened with a

Club and closed with a song by the
Boys High School Glee Club Both

entng, with cold bIooded, premedi-
tated murder in his heart, shot and
seriously wounded his wife, Florence
Moore, and her mother, Mrs. Chris

the horrifying tragedy, ended his
own life by sending a bullet crash
ing into his brain.
'sMrs. Moore lis the most ssriouG-
Iy injured. One bullet struck her in
the right breast, Travelled downward
and outward through the muscles and
imbedded itself beneath the skin on
her right side, about six inches be

ter she arrived at the hospital. The
other bullet struck the lower part OF
her abdomen on the right sidey ycans~
ing only a flesh wound. Mrs. Ge;s-
Ter was struck in both legs, just be

FEED GRINDER MADE A HIT

The demonstration of the feed
grinder held at the west side city
hall was a decided success both
from the standpoint Of attendance, and
from the results shown by the new
machine. The tests to which the
machine were submitted We're met IN
every way, and this in spite of
lack of sufficient power with which
to operate the machine to its best
advantage.
If sufficient im terest is taken in
this feeder it will permanently 1n-
stalled in, some central location wher
there is power and where it can be
inspected and tested.
