Contract Letting. for Coming Great
 .' Food Show.
 The letting of contracts for space at the coming food and industrial exposi- tion to be held in October has already begun and a number of exhibitors at the the February exposition has re-en- gagged their space. Others hold options on their space and in a number of in- stances the contracts will be concluded when the advertising managers, now on vacation. return to their work.
 \ Probably one Of the features of this falls exposition will be the series of lectures on cooking. These lectures are of course particularly for the ladies and will be given in the afternoons. The series will be delivered by an un- questioned authority and the lectures will prove exceedingly instructive.
 The Howe & Stetson. company has engaged the same space that they oc- cupied in the former exposition. Their exhibit will occupy the center of the armory floor and will cover an area of eighteen feet square. Welch's Grape Juice will have an exhibit at either end of the floor and Modox and the Worces- ter Salt company have secured spaces. ,
 Howe & Co.,, eonfectioners, who had such an elaborate and beautiful exhibit have again taken their space and will have this fall an exhibit that will com- paremost favorably with their first ex- hibit. D. s. Gilhuly, the local bottler, has taken a large space. The indica- lions now are that by the middle of September there will not be any space left for sale.

BOUNDARY LINES
Between Connecticut and Massachu-
 setts.


 setts.
 Hartford, Aug. 2i.-The commission on defining, relocating and monument ing the boundary lines between Connec- ticut and Massachusetts held its first meeting at the office of Governor Rob- erts this afternoon. The law providing for the commission, which was passed at the session of the general assembly thi year made the governor and attor- ney general William A. King members ex-officio. The third member of the commission, who received his creden- tials from Governor Roberts yesterday is Frank c. Sumner of this city seere- tary and treasurer of the Hartford Trust company. Mir. Sumner is a na- tive of Collinsville where he was born in 1852. He was educated in the Hart ford high school and has been connect ed with the Hartford Trust company since 1871. He is a member of the Con- necticut River Bridge commission, of which United States Senator Morgan G. BulkeIey is president and of the Hart ford county jury commission. MT. Sumner was appointed member of the state prison board of directors by Gov ernor Morris of New Haven in 1893, and has since been member of the board. He belongs to the Hartford club and the Hubbard escort, and for years has been the treasurer of the Hartford democratic town committee. He has long been identified with educational work in Hartford, especially in the old Brown school district. He is the broth CT of ex-Lieutenant Governor George G. Sumner and is prominent democrat in the northern section of the state. His appointment on the commission by Governor Roberts has given great sat- isfaction. The legislature appropriat- ed $7,000 for the work of the commits sion in connection with similar com mission from Massachusetts. There has been no survey of the boundary lines between Connecticut and Massachu-. setts since 1928. The original survey was made in 1903. The work of the com mission will be taken up without delay. New surveys will be made by compe- tent engineers.

THE HEssIAN ELY.

It is the Oldest of the Crop Pests in the
 s United States.
 Few people know that the Hessian fly is one of the oldest of all the crop pests in this country, and that its name was given it as a result of the fact that it was brought to the United States in the straw included in the impedimenta of the Hessian troops sent over against the American Reyolutfonists by George III in 1776. It was first noticed on Long Island about one hundred and twenty-five years ago, and has since spread coextensively with the progress of civilization and wheat growing, west, north and south. Sometimes it com pletely destroys the growing wheat in certain sections, and the average loss 1t causes is about forty million bushels annually, or about six or seven per cent. of the total crop. The Entono- logical Bureau has studied it long and closely, and the recommendation made to wheat growers have undoubtedly kept the damage far below what it would otherwise have been, and yet, in spite of the best, efforts of the scien- lists and the farmers who act on their advice, the fly got beyond control dur ing the season of four years ago and destroyed fully eighty per cent. of the crop in the infested region, the result ant loss being in the neighborhood of thirty-f1ve million dollars, or forty mil- lion dollars. This extraordinary and unfortunate development was due to weather conditions favorable to the nest and to an unusual scarcity of it's parasitic enemy. This parasite, which forms inside the body of the fly, has been secured in large numbers by the entomoIogists and liberated in several wheat growing states, and much good has resulted.

NOW FIT TO DRINK.
Artesian We'll Water Improves With
 Age

Age.
 Some eleven years ago, says the Mer- iden Journal, an artesian we'll was sunk to the depth of two hundred and ten feet by the New York Insulated Wire company of Wallingford, near their factory. Some twenty gallons flowed during the hour, but eighty gal Ions was wanted. A tank was placed on the factory and water was taken from the Community Lake, the water being used for washing purposes. At that time the water from the artesian well could not be used for drinking it being of a bluish cast and unfit to drink. The water from the artesian well has now become as clear as crys- tai, is pure and sweet and is to be used at the factory for drinking, work now being under way to have the water pumped into a tank. A new one is to be built on the factory. When the ar tesian was sunk it was bored through eighty feet of soil and then through one hundred and thirty feet of solid rock. The well is now in the engine room, which was extended some years ago.

 Made Out-WOman Wants Money Re-
 turned for Overpaid Taxes-Harden-
 ing of Shelton Avenue Considered-

 Considerable business was transacted at the regular weekly meeting of the board of finance yesterday afternoon besides the signing of the pay roll.
 The lamp department asked for the transfer of S20O from naphtha street lamps and mantle burners to electric street lights and the request was grant, ed.
 Superintendent Rattlesdorfer of the department of charities and correction submitted the following statement con- cerning conditions in his office.

 A communication was received from Catherine Keegan in which it was stat ed that she had discovered that since 1900 she had over paid her taxes to the extent of $56.9S, which amount she now asks the city to return to her.
 Mrs. Keegan owns lot on Congress avenue but does not reside in this city. In paying her taxes she noticed that they had been increased since 1900, but attributed it to an increase in rates. In looking the matter up recently she discovered that she had been paying taxes on supposed building, while in reality it is a vacant lot at present and has been since she has owned 1t. She has therefore asked the board of finance to refund the extra money.
 The board authorized City Clerk Street to consult with the tax collector and assessors and report to the board at the next meeting. In the meantime the matter is tabled.
 The report of the city treasurer and the comptroller for the past month was read and accepted.
 The order for a bell tower in the Eighth ward, which was sent by. the board of aldermen, was taken from the table and considered. It was by vote accepted and the board voted then to table the matter until next years esti- mates are made out at which time it will be acted upon.
 The order from the board of aldermen for the hardening of Shelton avenue, from Munson street to the city Iines was also considered. It was, however, decided to table this matter until the next meeting so that the members could learn what the cost for such work would be-,
 The board then adjourned.

has 1t: "Ain't it nice to get home after
trip to big city-where all is a
rush and hurry; where you are q very
small integral in a mighty throng;
where you have to keep your eyes
peeled to dodge the street cars, wagons
and automobiliouses to preserve your
being; where people look at you ask
ance; where you feel as friendless as a
yaller dog; whesc you have to put up
at a hashhouse aid the waiter brings
your soup to you with his thumb sub
merged in it's depths and the pie he
serves you is mucky and stale-ain't
1t nice to drop back home to the little
rural town where the dogs loll around
in the shade and the chickens roost
on the front door step; where you get
the best 'eatin's' in the land and where
the most interesting topics, the wealth

out about five a. m. to greet old Sol

When the foreman poked his head into

the trite facetious order: Hang it on

he said, relates the Indianapolis News.
for he walked into the composing-room
and instructed the makeup to put the
over-set two columns of matter in a
narrow chase, with an inch space be-
tween the columns. The paper went
to press, and SO did the two extra col
umns. When the latter were worked
of, cutting machine separated the
columns and deft-fingered girl, with
the aid of a pastebrush, attached a
column to each side of the paper-fig-

MAKES PEAcocKs SILENT.
Dealer Furnishes Lovers of the Birds
with Those That Do
Not Cry.

Peacocks for the lawns of country
houses are becoming more popular
every year. There are dealers who
make a speciality of these decorative
birds. There is even one dealer,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin, who
sells noiseless peacocks, for which
he gets readily SIS apiece.
The one objection to the peacock
is his hoarse and piercing cry. The
dealer in silent peacocks operates OH
the birds threats in such a way az
to quiet them forever. The opera
ton is not painful nor perilous, and
yet it increases the peacock's value
fourfold.
A good peacock can be bought for
SIS. The bird eats corn and barley.
