miserable condition, but tho
crowd waded gleefully through
mud and water to watch tho
tusslo of tho Cottago Grove High
nnd Springfield High football
teams,
Cottago Grovo kicked to
Springfield, and tho fight was on,
Wading in mud and water to tho
nnklQB, both teams put up a
splendid fight. Neither goal was
in serious danger durlngthe first
period, and tho quarter ended
scoreloKs for either side. In tho
Bccond period tho Cottago GroV
irs came back, strong, and in a
few minutes hud pushed tho ball
by means of fierce lino plunging
by Smith, over tho goal lino. No
goal. Score Cottago Grovo G,
Springfield nothing.
This onded tho scoring, Cot
tage Grovo camo back strong in
tho second half, but Springfield
camo back just as strong, and
twico when the goal was in dan
ger, hold tho Grovo for downs,
In the last part of tho third per

mmh In which M. Hill of Spring

half onded scoreless. Score,
Cottago Groyo 0, Springfield 0.
It is almost useless to try to

Do tho people of Sprlngrtcldjwaht a new High school

Right now tho price of lumber is as low as It will bo
for years and that is an item. Labor will cost more later,
and that is a big item in the co of a building. The need
for a suitable building, with heating and ventilating and a
roof that wjli safeguard health, Js certainly urgent.
The way to get a building isi to ask the board of edu
cation to take steps to erect one, and the easiest way to ask
the board will bo to fill out the'blank below and mail it
to A. P. McKlnfccy, clerk 'of the board, or to Thos. Slkes,
