WATERS OF HUNT
MEADOW IN DISPUTE
Warden Metcalf of Brattleboro Takes
No Stock in Contention that
They Belong to New Hampshire.

County Fish and Game Warden +.
II. Metcalf of Brattleboro may be the
means of the Brattleboro municipal
court taking crack at the boundary
line controversy between Vermont and
New Hampshire. Certain New Hamp-
shire officials appear to have an idea
that the fact that the building of the
Vernon dam set the water back so
that it overfiowed the Hunt meadow
added that well-known parcel of Ver-
mont real estate to New Hampshire
territory, but Game Warden Metcalf
thinks otherwise
Warden Callahan of Kecnc came over
TO BrattlcborO n few days ago and in
an interview with Warden Metcalf in
formed the latter that according TO
his instructions the New Hampshire
boundary extended as far west as the
lee in the river went, and therefore it
would be necessary for persons fishing
through the lee on the Hunt meadow
to procure New Hampshire fishing Ii
censes
Not by a long shot, or words hav-
ing substant TALLY the same meaning,
was the reply made by Mr.. Metcalf.
and he added that Vermont licenses
alone were needed and that if any New
Hampshire residents, or any Others for
that matter, were caught fishing in the
waters in question without Vermont
licenses they would be arrested.
Warden Mctcalf took the matter up
, with Mott L. Bartlett of Concord. the
New Hampshire state commissioner
who talked with Warden Callahan. and
! Warden Metcalf has just received a
letter from the state commissioner tc
tie effect that his snap Judgment was
that Mr.. Metcalf was right He say.
that before making a "definite decis
ion he wants to talk the matter over
with the attorney general, also that
he would like TO talk il over with the
4 Vermont state commissioner.

SECOND UNION
PRAYER SERVICE
Call for Cooperation Is Theme of Talk
by Rev. r. A. Nunn-Last Union
Meeting This Evening.

The Call for Cooperation, was the
subject Of the second union prayer SER
vice, which was held last evening in the
chapel of the Centre Congregational
church, in charge of Rev. r. A. Mum,
pastor of the Methodist church. The
union services are a part of the program
outlined by the Interehurch World Move
ment. A large number attended the
meeting and several offered voluntary
prayers
Rev. Mr.. Num- emphasized the fact
that cooperation always has been prac.
ticed and told of instances recorded in the
Old Testament, but the church, he said,
has not been awake to it and has not
been able to recognize the values OF
co o-operation or to see over denominations
alism enough to use it. He said that
this new thing is a movement and that
what the churches need is TO put the move
into the movement. He urged closer co
operation in every way to carry out the
program of the lnterchurch World Move
ment, saving it was to big for any one
denomination to manage.
The last of the union PRAYER services
will be held this evening at 40 O'Clock
in the Methodist church and r. B. Tel,
fer will be in charge ON account of the
illness of Rev. Clark T. Brownell. The
topic will be Revival of Family Religion
