-lNE OF NORTHERN BOUNDARY
Curious History OF United States Ter
ritory That "Ovsrlaps" Into tho
Dominion Of Canada.

How did the Uni ed States come to
get that small corIer of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary Of Minnesota? History OF
that little nose which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point OF
the United States is very interesting
Under the treaty Of 1888 boundary be-
tween the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mu-
tually agreed to as one starting point,
this being considered the headwaters
OF the st. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. At that time II was not
known whether this point was north
or south OF the forty-ninth parallel,
but 1t was known to be close to It. The
understanding was that from that
point the boundary should 90 north or
south TO the forty-ninth parallel, as the
case might be. Later and more accu-
rate surveys showed that point was
about 25 miles north OF the forty-ninth
parallel, and SO at this place the
boundary makes jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has q little piece OF
territory OF about 100 square miles in
extent north OF the general boundary.
And the joke of 1t is that any one has
to go by water In orde, to reach this
little piece OF territory unless he
wants to 20 through Canada The

Washington, Nov. 17.-DemocratiC
simplicity is threatened, President
Wilson is said to be provoked, cabi-

men are indignant and wives of the
representatives are on the warpath
All CT which is due to an agree

by the wives of the cabinet mem

ed by the wives of the postmaster
general and secretary of the interior
who Of the cabinet ladies are most
familiar with the social edicts of
Washington.
The whole situation has been pro
voking much laughter and joking
but as social wars generally do, it
is gradually working around to a
rather serious climax. Last May
notices appeared in local newspapers
to the effect that the cabinet women
would not call upon the wives OF
representatives but as the social
season has closed, little heed was
paid to it, But when receptions ana
afternoon teas were resumed a few
weeks aSo, the clash came.
Call Off Reception.
The cabinet women are sticking to
their agreement on the ground that
it is q physical impossibility to make

This has brought worry to the
heads of Presidenr Wilson's official
family, and the chief executive him
self has taken cognizance Of the
storm the ladies have created.

MEXICO IS IN
CHAOTIC CONDITION
SAYS LOCAL MAN WHO HAS JUST
RETURNED FROM THAT WAR.
TORN REPUBLIC.

Bob Hutchins has Just returned
from old Mexico and from what he
says about conditions there, things
are in a chaotic condition in the land
of the festive tamale Mr.. Hutchins
accompanied by another Oklahoman,
was in the country prospecting, and
after short sojourn in the city of
Chihuahua they were informed that
it would be a good idea for them to
90 while the going was good, and af.
ter casual investigation of condi-
tions concluded that there was much
truth and wisdom in the advice.
Mr.. Hutchins says that if President
Wilson will lift the embargo on arms
and ammunition and grant the rebels
the privilege of importing all that
they can pay for, it will be but
short time until Huerta is eliminated
from the scene, and some sort of or
der established in that strife-torn
country. He is not much in sympathy
with the statement that Americans
living there will suffer if the worst
comes. He says that what Ameri-
cans are there now, are aligned with
one of the forces, and are not expect
ing anything from Uncle Sam in fact, !
they have taken their fate in their |
own hands and are prepared to abide |
the consequences. Ample time has |
been given all Americans who desire |
to leave the country, and many have |
and are taking advantage of this |
or advice, as one may wish to |
term it. Mr.. Hutchins and his part
ner spent several days in Juarez and !
he was personally acquainted with
he chauffeur who was killed in the
'ecent skirmish. Mr. Hutchins stated
hat it was the chauffeur's own fault
hat he was killed as many expected
lis death to occur before it did, as
lie was a reckless, daredevil sort of

n the MeXicans, and took pains
o show it on every occasion. His
eath in press dispatches was report
d as accidental, but Bob says that
lie is satisfied that he was singled
nut when the firing began and killed
In speaking of Juarez and the inter
ational boundary line, Mr. Hutchins
avs that every one who crosses that
ridge is given a thorough searching
o see that they take nothing out Of
IeXico that would be of value to the
IeXicans. Only three dollars in Mex
oan silver money is allowed by each
erson, the rest of his money, if he
as any must be exchanged on the
IeXican side for currency which is
or nearly so on the ;
.merican side. This is a precaution {

, keep all the silver in the country
S that is the only stuff that will buy d
rms on the open market, and

Bob said that he thought he knew e

Definite state aid for vocational
schools is a part Of New JERSEYS
new provision for industrial educa-
ton, as enacted by the 1913 legis-
lature and outlined IN a bulletin is
sued by the New Jersey Boarl Of
Education. Officials of the United
States Bureau of Education who
have examined the plan say it ~ep-
resents one of the best beginnings
yet made toward adequate vocational
training by the state. The New
Jersey work is under the direction
of L. II. Carris, whom Com missioner
Kendall designated as deputy COM
missioner in charge Of vocational
education.
A Practical Arrangement.
The New Jersey plan provides that
any school district, whether city,
town, township or borough, as we'll
as any county, may start vocational
schools and get state money for
their support. Separate schools may
be organized, or departments es-
tablished in existing schools, ac-
cording to local convenience. The |
thorough practicalness of the plan
may be seen from the recommended |
tiOns for efficient members of advis- |
Ory boards for the vocational !,
schools; If the training is for the |
then two OF the mem-
bers are to be an employer and an
employe respectively, representing
distipct trades or occupations
Where the school is one that trains
for home duties, it is suggested that
the members shall be person. "who
