The Hartford Convention.

The only Hartford Convention which
is historic is that held during the war of
1912. New England and one or two of
the Middle States We're opposed to that
conflict, and many of their Representa-
tives in Congress voted against the reso-
luton declaring war. Part of their oppo-
sition was due to the old Federalist hos
tility to the Democratic party, New Eng
land being the headquarters of the FEEDER
alists, and Madison, who was President
at that time, being Democrat. Most of
the opposition, though, was on economic
grounds. The activities of New England
at that time were chiefly commercial
and as consequence that locality suf-
fered more than any other part of the
country, except those points visited by
actual hostilities. a gathering of New
England Representatives met in Hart
ford in 1914, protested against the war
and advocated several important changes
in the Constitution and Federal statutes.
One ofthese proposed alterations was the
abrogation of the right of the Southern
States TO representation for three fifths of
their slaves, and another was the REQUIRE
ment of a two-thirds vote for declara-
tion of war. As the war ended before the
Convention closed its labors it secured no
attention from ongress.-Globe Demo

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
mcnt. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, In subdivisions of
40 so, 120, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had IN California for less than from $50 to
S10O an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land ut $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down 70 fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
.lement in smaller quantities and its devotion
10 diligent husbandry.
