C. A. Bugge & Co. made sale of a
rifle and ammunition to party Tues
day that caused considerable conf
ment. A party came in prepared to
send to Sears, Roebuck & Co. for his
hunting outfit, and just to be fair, ask
ed the price of the same assortment
at the Bugge store and found that ex-
actly the same equipment could be
purchased here for less money, ex-
press considered, and so the sale was
concluded on the spot. We are inclin-
ed to the belief that if given an op-
portunity to figure with any party
the local merchant can fill your orders
for the same money as you send
abroad for your purchases.

GRAND RAPIDS
WINS FROM
WAUTOnA

The Grand Rapids high school
second team beat Wautoma
high school first team in a game
of football, Friday afternoon on
Lincoln field by a score OF 81 to
13.
The Rapids made a touch
down and kicked goal in the

second quarter.
Wautoma also made a touch
down in the second quarter max
ing an end run on the fourth
down and carrying the ball over
Score at end of first half Rapids
IA; Wautoma 7.
The Wautoma players were all
bigger men than the Rapids
players and this was specially
noticeable in the back field
where the backs loomed up like
lighthouses on a dark night. F.
Taris;9nl right half back for the
visie5rs was a tower of strength
in both offensive and defensive
plays
The Wautoma teams extra
weight began to tell in the third
quarter. The Rapids played des
perately and held their heavier
opponents for downs, but could
not make any substantial gaius.
Both teams resorted to punts to
get the bail out of dangerous
territory. The quarter ended
with the ball in Wautoma's pos
session on the Rapids 80 yard
line.
Wautoma kicked to Rapids
80 yard line, Normington
caught the ball and ran it back
. yards to lose it to Wautoma
on tumble. Captain McGlynn
of the second team went in, in
Normington's place at right tao
kle and Kluge took Fadner's
place at lett end. Chamberlain
went in at right half in place of
D. Daily. Wautoma advanced
the ball to Rapids 40 yard line
and lost it. Rapids by line
smashes and end runs put the
ball on Wautoma's 3 yard line
and lost on a tumble. A for
ward pass was intercepted by a
Rapids player on Wautoma S ~
yard line. Rapids went down
the field on first downs and put
the ball over for touch down,
but failed to kick goal. Score
Rapids 20: Wautoma 13.
With only one minute to play
Klug made an end run of 80
yards and then carried the ball
over for another touch down,
Goal was kicked. Score Rapids
27: Wautoma 13.
The Rapids men looked like a
bunch of Brownies beside the big
boys from Wautoma, but class
will tell.

The Holbrook news., 1915-05-21
Vote was Unanimous

The vote at the bond election in the Holbrook school district last Saturday was small. Only 28 voters went to the polls and all of these cast their ballots in favor of the bonds. No opposi- tion to the bond proposition had developed and in consequence it was not thought necessary by those in favor of it to make an effort to get out a large vote.
 The fact that the sentiment IS unanimous as to the plan for se- curing better school facilities speaks we'll for the intelligence and progressiveness of the peo- pie in the district. The choice of a site for the new building, and it's construction and equip ment are simply matters of de- tail, and the News believes that
