with a cloven foot is exciting much
interest at the Worlds Fair here. The

gested that his two toes indicate a
reversion to his prehistoric ancestors.

work.
Jake Gill and Peggy Mcpherson and
her husband had lived neighbors for
years and as long as they had resided
by each other, they had quarrelled ov
er the dividing line of their property.

intending to establish new dividing
line, he was attacked with an axe by
Jake Gill and seriously wounded.
However, her husband recovered, but

ge and the shooting resulted,

property here and is said to be worth
about $4,000.

OUR VOTE IN THE LEAGUE

Albert Bushnell Hart showed near

control six votes in the League OF
Nations the United States could
control an equal number. Franklin
b.. Roosevelt doubles the American
Influence in the League, or the IN
fIuencc 1T would have if it were q
member. He says the United States
has about IL votes. Haiti aai Santo
Domingo, Panama. Cuba and the
Central American countries have at
least Il votes in the League Assem-
bly,, and all regard the United States
as a guardian and big brother, and
all of them would vote with the
United States. Cuba. Haiti. Sarto
Domingo, Panama and Nicaragua are
directly under our Influence. Bat
the essential facts are that the Brit
ish donlinions can enter the League
not to strengthen Great Britain, but
to give effect, to their practical indie
pendencc. and that the executive ole
ment in the Leasue is the Ga"1c'i
