Economy Store Was Rusy

Despite the bad weather on Satur-
day eight clerks were kept on the
jump at Bucknell's Economy store
wrapping up some OF the biggest and
best bargains ever given by this pop
ular store. A nine cent sale was ad-
yertised in these columns last week,
and it seemed almost impossible for
"a store to give such values for the
money. The proprietors were more
than pleased with the response to
their advertisement, and the sale will
be continued the rest of the week
closing on Saturday. More specials
will be given, and persual of their
advertisement in this issue will tell
you something about them.

Iuther-22.
TOTAL


The support given by the people
of DEBORAH for this game was highly
appreciated by the basket ball man
agement. The crowd was the larg-
est that has ever witnessed basket
ball game at the college, fully SIX
hundred spectators were present.
This kind of support boosts athletics
and the institution because better
games are able to be scheduled. But
it is readily seen that the gym needs
remodeling so as to furnish more
room. 1t has been proposed to ex-
tend the two sections used for basket
ball backwards and thus find room
for any sized crowd that may wish
to come. Such an improvement
would cost considerable sum but an
effort ought to be made in this di-
ERECTION.

glary with ice, and in stepping out of

in her S6th year, which makes the
injury severe, but her many friends

LUTHER TRIMS ST. OLAF.
Beat Their Old Rivals i'm One of the
Hottest Games of the Season.

The old tradition still exists. 1t
seems impossible to be broken. st.
Olaf again tasted defeat on the Lu-
Their floor at the hands of Luther's
big machine. st. Olaf has never as
yet carried the laurels of a basket
ball victory out of DEBORAH and in
basket ball history have won only a
of 16 games played between the two
institutions.
Monday morning saw the st. Olaf
squad in DEBORAH and with these
came an unusual amount of excite
ment. The student body from our
local institution apparently were
not immune to infection and after
supper they were in town preform-
ing and yelling under the able
leadership of Rooterking "Chi" Han
son. During the game and again af-
ter the game downtown, "Chi'' lead
his transformers. They showed
such an unusual amount of spirit and
pep that it became an attraction.
A wonderful crowd turned out
fully six hundred people, and with
their support the team fought vail
antly throughout the game. The eX-
ira seating capacity arranged TO,
furnished seating room for almost
all. Amid such excitement and
noise the game started. Both teams
worked hard striving to do their bes

Olaf fouled and Luther counted one

The Luther forwards scored Il

a good game at center holding Ras

SCHOOL LuNcHEoNs

The provision OF warm luncheons
| in school houses is one OF the new
ideas being tried out in many cities
Ii is costly, but the results are no
doubt worth it II a city can afford
kit.
The subject Of luncheons for school
children has long been problam
| for parents. AS towns increase In
size, school houses multiply Prob
ably larger number OF children walk
home at noon than formerly where
the two session plan is used. They
should be encouraged to do so. A
cold luncheon is a depressing ele-
ment in the life of a growing child.
Many youngsters have been coming
lup pale and scrawny from the lack
of substantial noon meal. II there
are pastry shops and bakeries near
by. parents are apt to give the child
rem a little money for their noon
meal. This may all 80 for ice cream
candy, or thin waters. The substan-
tial cold ham sandwich from mothers
pantry was far better.
In the old fashioned country dis
trict school. the school house was
apt to be fairly near the homes, and
no large portion OF the pupils had to
carry their dinner. In these days OF
transportation of pupils and consol-
idation OF schools, great many cold
lunches are carried Where this Isl
being done, it would seem as if par
ents at least would want to subscribe
to provide some hot soup or cocoa, T.
go with the cold hand out from the
luncheon basket.
Children's eating needs close sup
ervision. The hungry boy or girl at
the home dining table win eat plain
bread and butter with avidity and
relish, and il there is no desseix there
is little complaint, Give then 10 cents |
for luncheon, though, and more than
half of it goes for pies or cakes.
