Those two little jogs on the ne

The controversy began in 171'
and continued for l12 years before
it was finally decided:.$ In 1924 tn,
question was appealed to England
but the government was so much
engrossed in the Seven Years wal
that it was never brought to the at
tertion Of the crown. Up to the
outbreak Of the Revolution botl
states continued to levy taxes and
send notices of fast days and elec.
tons to the farmers who occupied
the land, and there is no record OF
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however.
they voted and paid taxes in Massa-
chusetts only, Notwithstanding the
protest of the county authorities in
Connecticut. In 1893, after peace
was restored, both states appointed
commissioners, but the dispute was
carried on until 1904, when a com
promise was reached. There were
several similar disputes between the
two states besides those which now
appear upon the map, and an agree
ment was reached by which Massa-
chusetts consented to surrender her
claim to a strip of territory in
Woodstock and Sufield townships.
provided Connecticut would yield
her claims to the other tracts il

taken upon the report.
In 1910 the controversy was re-
vived by some legal proceeding, and
another commission was appointed,
but if it ever reached a conclusion
there is no record to be found. IL
1920 a third commission was in
trusted with the settlement, and
after two years they decided upon
the present boundary line, which
was adopted by The Legislature Of

slaughter of hogs for fat in Germany
and of cattle in France and the Argen-

been so great that at least Ave years

The government may extend the

But 1t will not do so this year 1t
Is possible the government may even
forbid or restrict the killing Of hogs
and the sale of veal in order that
more cattle may be raised. Editors
OF weekly farm papers and of agri-
cultural papers are to be urged by
Mr.. Hoover to spread broadcast ap

appear certain that It will be wen to-
ward the end OF November before the
mobilization Is complete and that none
Of the draft forces will be available

or August, at the earliest.
General Crowder ordered that only

On September 10 20 per cent OF
each state quota will be summoned

called for September 15, and later de-
layed until September 10.
On October 3 another 40 per cent
Will be called. The remaining ID per
