WRESTLERS NEARING END
Big New York Tournament to CloGc Next Saturday-Lcwis and Zbysxko Have Clean States.

Have Clean States.
 New York, Dec. 1.-The final week of the catch as catch can wrestling tournament at the Lexington theater begins tonight with only two comL petitors boosting a clean score. Strang- ter Lewis has won every bout in which through the medium of his dreaded head lock. Vladek Zbyszko has not been beaten although he was held to a draw of twenty minutes by Yusif Hussane.
 There is no doubt that the Pole can beat Hussane in a finish match, and there is small question that Lewis and Zbyszko will be the contestants in the final match next Saturday is the equal of Lewis or the Pole, will not be able to compete at the finish as his furlough has expired. As Stecher also will not compete two of the leading grapplers in the country will, be missing from what Is Sched- uled as a title tournament. The championship title therefore Is not at stake in the present tourney, and the interest in the present weeks matches Stecher and claimed title on that per formance, but Lewis has beaten John Olin, who made, 5techer quit. and that puts Lewis on an even basis with the farmer boy. |5 I r$5.o.

SCHOOL CLUBS EXHIBITION.
Prizes to Be Awarded Saturday in Main
Street Building Exhibit Open After
noon and Evening.

The second exhibit of the work done
by the boys and girls of the schools of
this town in the various industrial clubs
since the first of the year will be held
Saturday, Sept. 10, in the Main street
school building between 2.30 and 5
clock in the afternoon and 1870 and
9 O. clock in the evening.
The aims of the clubs are to increase
the interest and knowledge of the pupils
in practical occupations, to learn the i'm
portance of profitable use of leisure time,
to link together the home and school,
and to increase a love of nature through
the observation and study of birds,
trees and flowers.
The leaders of the clubs have provided
speakers from time to time to address
the club members upon some phase of
its work. These talks always have been
both interesting and beneficial. Because
of the agitation for greater production
and conservation of foods this year,
Diedrich Stolte was engaged to inspect
the gardens and advise the children dur
ing the summer months. Each boy S
and girl rs garden has been inspected at
least three times and over 200 Green
Mountain Guard buttons have been
given out. Several demonstrations have
been given during the summer in addi-
tion to those given during the school
year.
| Although unusual stress has been laid
on the Garden and Canning clubs, there
will be exhibits from all the clubs, in
Guiding birds, wild flowers and trees, cul-
tivated flowers, poultry, cooking, can
ming, sewing, manual arts, and earning.
The local board of trade has offered
blue ribbons for the best exhibits in
vegetables and canned articles. A can
ming outfit has been offered to the girl
or boy who makes the best all-round can
ming exhibit. Aside from these, small
money prizes will be awarded by com
petent judges in each club.
By opening the exhibit both after
noon and evening it is hoped that many
will visit and inspect the work. A large
attendance will be great incentive for
the children to do more and better work
this coming year. A very small admis
sion fee will be charged.

CROPS BADLY DAMAGED.
Gardens Nipped and Field Beans, Silo
) Corn, and Tobacco Cut by the Heavy
Frost Monday Morning.

During Monday night the mercury de-
scended to 80 above zero in f. R.
Vaughan's official registering thermome-
ter. This was two degrees below freez-
ing, and except in places where there was
a fog the result was disastrous. Vines
and vegetables were nipped in many
places.
This was the first time this season that
the temperature had reached the freez-
ing point. Last year freezing tempera
ture was not recorded until October and
in l0l5.it reached the freezing point late
in September, but it was not as cold as
it was Monday night.
There was another frost Tuesday
morning, but it was not so heavy as
the visitation Monday. In addition to
garden crops field beans which had
not reached state of maturity were
badly damaged, and it is believed that
the goodness will be lacking in an i'm.
mense quantity of silo corn still in the
milk which looks white and scared to-
day.
In the Connecticut valley the loss on
tobacco will amount to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Most of the crop
had been harvested, but all that re-
NAMED uncut is spoiled.
, Many of the county towns in their
correspondence to The Phoenix report
great damage, perhaps the most dis,
couraging statement coming from Whit
ingham, where nearly all of the crops
are damaged. The corn crop in middle
western states was badly hit, the loss
being estimated in many localities at
20 to so per cent.
