Current Events Club
Closes Season with
Field Day Observance

One of the most delightful field day
observanceS in the history of the Au-
gusta Current Events club was that
enjoyed Friday at hollywood" the
summer home of Mrs. F. L. Hersey
ut Island Park. Thirty-fve members
and two guests were~in the party and
is was a matter of real regret that
on account of illness the. retiring
president, Mrs. H. w. Hall, was I'M
able to be with the club on the occa-
sion.
During the forenoon hours cards
were enjoyed on the cottage veran-
dab, while several members who
were interested in nature study had
splendid opportunity to pursue their
interests out of doors. A delicious
luncheon was served at noon, after
came a varied program of group
-ongs, conundrums, and a geoSra
phical contest, in which Mrs. II. NJ.
.;tone was the prize winner.
Several interesting travel talks
were given by the members. Mrs. G.
A. Ellinwood relating many incidents
of her years stay in Hawaii from
which she has just recently returned
to her home in this city. Mrs. IL. j.
Turner and Mrs. Harry Lyon told of
their travels and experiences in the
South during the past winter.
Much credit for the success of the
annual observance is due to the COM
mittee, Mrs. H. A. Cassidy, Mrs. f.
f. Parkman, Mrs. T. S. Rand and
Mrs r. p. Herrick, and to the host
ess, Mrs. F. l.. Hersey. This most
enjoyable outing brought TO a close
a successful year of Club activity.

Spring. Me-, told the gathering
faithful check had showed that news
paper advertising had produced the
best results. He asserted that ad-
vertising of recreational advantages
attracted many persons to the COM
munitieS, and once there it was easy
to convince them of the industrial
or agricultural advantages commu-
nifty offered. Tonight the council
listened to addresses by William S.
Rossiter of Concord, N H., who
talked on problems affecting the
three northern New England states,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
and by Dorothy Garfield Fisher,
novelist, who compared the recrea-
tional problems and facilities of YER
mont and those of Switzerland.
The problems of the three northern
states of New England, Mr.. Rossiter
said, was largely one of keeping peo-
pie in these states. He quoted fig
ures to show that between 1900 and
1920 $4,000 persons had left Maine,
$4,000 New Hampshire, 1884, YER
mont to live elsewhere. In 1920 he
said, the three southern states of
New England had e. population of
100000 while the three northern
states had only 100000. Between
1920 and 1925 there was a drain of
$4,000 acreas in farm activities in
the three northern states. Fewer
young men are to be found on farms
than formally. In 1910 the per capita
tax in rural districts in the three
states averaged 1898 and in 1925 1t
was 30.45.

SLASHES THROAT IN
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
CHANCE OF RECOVERY

Arthur Trask, 4S years old. is at
the Augusta General hospital in a
serious condition as the result of an
attempt to commit suicide by slash
ing his throat about $3.50 o'clock
griday afternoon at his home in the
Bridge Block on Bridge street.
Trask was rushed to the Augusta
General Hospital upon discovery
and it was estimated that over SO
stitches were taken by a physician
in an attempt to close the deep
wound. Late last night he had not
come out from under the ether and
his condition was considered criti-
cal
Trask, who lived with his aunt,
whose name is understood to be Mrs.
Julia Mason. he having been es-
tranged from his wife for many
years. Mrs. Mason left him asleep
Friday afternoon while she went out
and upon her return heard him call
ing aunt Julia, Aunt julia.
Going into the room she found
that he had cut his throat with a
potato knife and was bleeding bad
ly. To the prompt response of the
ambulance to an emergency call he
will owe his life IL he RECEIVERS, as
he was taken to the hospital so
quickly that the surgeon, DIR. sam
uel Kagan felt that he had about
an even chance for recovery.
Trask had been living at the
Bridge block for the winter, coming
here from Skowhegan where he had
resided for several years. A few
years ago his father, the late Alonzo
Trask of Augusta, dropped dead
while shoveling snow here. Trask
it is understood has been despond-
ent for some time and local police
man said last evening That it was
but a few days. ago that he had
gone to the police station with the
statement that if he were not locked
up he would kill himself He was
locked up for the night and released
the next morning.

Messrs. DOstie, Boyd
And Haskell Winners
Charleston Contest

Applause in such volume that the
referee. after three trials, was I'M
able to determine the first prize win
ner, resulted in a division of the first
and second prizes in the Charleston
contest staged at the Opera House
Friday evening.
Mr.. Dostie and Mr.. Boyd, whose
demonstrations of the dance won
vociferous acclaim, were accordingly
given the prizes. Third prize was
won by Mr.. Haskell. There were
nine finalists as a result of a series
Of elimination contests conducted
nightly during the week Besides the
three named above. there We're two
young ladies, Miss Fountain and Miss
Durbrine, and Messrs. Dennis, Davis,
Plummer and Young.
Each contestant was allowed three
minutes to demonstrate his or her
skill; applause governed the elimina-
ton down to the final three. With
Dostie and Boyd apparently tied for
first honors, an effort was made to
break this by a 20-second effort by
the audience but in the opinion of
the referee there was maximum
of noise in each instance.

helpful here in Redwood Falls.

contained brick-dust sediment. NV

work. My eyes got puffy underneath.
