CLUB HELD
RECEPTION FOR MRS. COWLES

Mrs. N S. Hansen opened her
home last Monday afternoon to the
members of the Columbian Club for
social meeting complimentary to
their president, Mrs. w. H. Cowles,
who will soon leave for California.
During the business session it was
voted to join the General Fedora
ton, the club now being under the
State Federation. The following
ladies were elected to attend the
Biennial of the I. F w. c., to be held
at Ames June 18th: Mesdames J..
S. Small, c. II. Buck, E. Z. Reed,
George Viewer and Miss Lorraine
Graham. Mrs. E. F. Bilharz is al
so a delegate. but appointed by the
state president and serving as chair
man of the Reports and Recommen-
dation committee.
The club voted a new department
to be known as the Dramatic and
Musical Department. Mrs. L. G
Bagley was made chairman and Mrs.
j. s. Small, vice-chairman.
After the business session an in
teresting program was given. Three
piano solos were played by Francis
Halvorsen. They were well exc
cuted and highly appreciated. Mrs.
Martin Kjer gave two vocal selec-
lions in her usual pleasing manner,
after which Mrs. w. w Smith gave
"reminiscences of the Club" She
told in an interesting way the early
history and organization of the
Columbian Club. the founding of the
library, its early struggles and its
growth She recited the various en-
tertainments and methods they had
in the early days raising funds for
the support of the library. AS she
recounted these and read names of
so many former residents of Audu-
bon. everyone felt that the Column
bian Club had been a benefactor in
making the history of Audubon.
Harriet Bilharz paid a high trib-
ute to Mrs. Cowles and expressed the
regret the Club felt in losing so val
liable a member. Not only the Club
but society at large will miss Mrs
Cowles and her hospitable home
Miss Bilharz also dwelt on the value
of some definite club study in the life
of women. At the conclusion of her
talk "Guest Book" was passed and
everyooe present expressed a good
wish for Mrs. Cowles
Following the program the re-
freshment committee served ice
cream and cake. The next month
ly meeting of the club will be held
after the Ames convention the latter
part of June.

YOUNG WOMAN ENDS
HER own LIFE
TAKES POISON EARLY IN AFTER
NOON AND DIES EARLY
NEXT MORNING

Extra was all excitement early
Tuesday morning when it became
known that Mrs. Howard McClain
had died from the effects of poison
taken about four o'clock Monday af-
ternoon. The woman is the second
eldest daughter of Harry Gleason Of
of age.
We were informed that the act
was committed after some family
difficulties had been discussed, and
We have also been told that discord-
ant notes have prevailed ever since
the marriage about two years ago.
The young woman had very severe
sick spell last fall and some are in
clined to think that her mind might
have been affected.
Monday afternoon after a quarrel
Mrs. McClain took a quantity OF
Paris Green. When it became known
what she had done a physician was
called. but being unable to learn
the extent of the poison. he could not
give anv material assistance She
remained in semi-conscious condi-
ton until about seven o'clock Tues
day morning when she died
The deceased was born and raised
in this city and lived here until her
marriage to Howard McClain about
two years ago. Her husband, one
year old son, her father, three broth
ers and two sisters are left to mourn
her untimely death. Her mother
died in this city several years ago.
1t is a very unfortunate affair and
the relatives have the sympathy of
the entire community.
Funeral services will be held in
Extra this afternoon after which
the remains will be brought to Au-
dubon for burial. Interment will
be made in Maple Grove cemetery.

TO HOLD SALE SOON

Harold Masterson of the firm of
Masterson & Son, breeders of pure
bred Hereford cattle, was in the
office yesterday afternoon and left
a catalogue for the big Hereford
sale they will hold at the sale pa
vilion at the fair grounds on We'd
nesday, May 2Sth. This is their
second annual sale and promises to
be one of the real big sales of the
season. 1t will be a strictly Dis
turber" offering. There are seven
bulls and 81 cows, fifteen with calves
at foot. Mr.. Masterson has spent
many years in building up his splen-
did herd. During the past few
years he has had the help of his son
Harold, who is a chip off the old
block and well posted on the Here
ford business. The sale will bring
to Audubon many buyers from ad-
joining states, and we would not be
surprised If new record were made
at this sale.

PLAY WELL ATTENDED

The play given by the Juniors of
the Audubon High school at the au-
ditorium last Tuesday night was ex-
ceptionally we'll rendered The at
tendance was good and the players
were given generous applause. The
program was given to raise funds
whereby the class could entertain the
Seniors, and from all reports we hear
that a large sum was realized. Ev-
eryone taking part was deserving of
praise.
The opening feature was the May
Pole drill in front of the school
house earlier in the evening. This
brought out a big crowd and prac-
tically everyone remained for the
play. Lack of space forbids us
from making a more extended art
icle.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
WIN ANOTHER GAME
YOUNG MEN ARE SHOWING UP
STRONG UNDER STRESS AND
WILL MAKE GOOD TEAM

Saturday afternoon the Atlantic
Audubon base ball teams contested
in game on the local high school
campus. Some real good playing
was done, but the high score was due
to errors, many unaccountable, be-
cause of the roughness of the infield
which really needs more improve
meth to make it fit for first class
games. Several poor plays were
pulled off by Audubon, principally
on account of the lack of coaching.
Four in particular are worthy of
mention. The catcher threw the
ball to second to catch a runner
from first, with a man at third who
had 10 or 20 foot start for home,
and easily scored. Two fly balls
were also missed, one between the
second baseman and center fielder,
which either could have caught with
ease, had someone called out which
one was to take the ball and the
same thing happened when the
right fielder and first baseman let
one fall between them, where a little
coaching would have done the work.
The other was at third when two
Atlantic players were coaching and
one of them called to McCarville,
Audubon pitcher, to throw hit ball
to third base, with the Atlantic play
er safely at third from second base.
With our boys on the lookout at that
time Mac could have retired the run
ner at first base. All these plays
added materially to the high score
gained by Atlantic. A blocked ball
also gave Atlantic one score. The
score was IL to 8 in favor of Audi
bon.
With the score as above in the last
inning, McCarville by phenomenal
work, pitched himself out of very
tight place With only one out and
the bases filled he struck out two
men in succession, where a hit
meant a run or more for Atlantic,
thus saving the day for Audubon.
With little more practice and the
field in better condition we can ex-
pect to see some good ball games
this season. Ed Gronert umpired
the game and his decisions were gilt
edged ones.
McCarville struck out nine men.
Hart for Audubon made four hits.
Kelly did some good batting, bring
tng in several runs.
A large crowd was out and the
gate receipts more than paid, ex-
penses, leaving several dollars to be
added to the treasury. One import
ant feature of the game was the
bleacher seats comfortably erected
for spectators. Then the grass
cushions along the list and 3rd base
lines were about all taken, but the
spectators lined up too close to the
base line and interfered with the
players. We soon expect to see a
grandstand and boxes erected for the
comfort of the fans.
We were promised the lineup and
summary of the game, but at. the
+ time of going to press it had not
been handed in. We are becoming
used to promises, though.
