1 suppose you've heard all about the terrible affair at the Boyds? What! You haven't! Well. it seems that Mir. Boyd found poison in a cake Mrs. Boyd baked for him! Yes, it's sim -pal-ly awful isn't it? Mrs. Boyd confessed that the iceman put her up to it, and then-Oh, this is the frightful part.-and then, the iceman. great, strong fellow, burst into the room where Mr. Boyd was sickabed and hurled him out of the window. Then he jumped all over him, saying that he was a college football player and only worked on the ice-wagon to keep in training!'

 FARMING IN CONNECTICUT

Whats wrong with farming, any way? Or perhaps, not living on d farm but being numbered among the sophisticated-more or less, probably mostly less-city dwellers you are not interested in what's wrong with the farm. Very well, eX- cept that whenever you eat it is well to remember that some farmer had to grow what tickles the palate and when you pay for the meal, re- member what you pay depends to a great extent upon what's wrong with the farm.
 A rather intriguing account of Connecticut farm troubles was writ ten by Dan Darlington to the New Haven Journal Courier, "to wit as follows"
 '1n recent issue of the Journal Courier was cut representing one million and half farmers leav- ing their farms and homes and emi- grating 10 the city with the legend, Tt ought to be stopped" One fa- miliar with conditions is forced 10 ask why? The farmers taxes have been increased four and sixfold in the last twenty five years; he is pestered with dog wardens. game wardens, fish wardens, tree wardens, fire wardens. health officers. COW testers, brown tail moth catchers in droves, inspectors, supervisors. managers and dictators. I think 1t was Good hart that made the remark, God save us from our rescuers." The last three months farm after farm has been sold in the historic Hcosatonic valley, with from twenty five 10 fifty COWS each. the owners gone to the city. later to live out of the Con- munity Chest, if possible. The farmer is cursed at home with day light saving, not allowed to cross state highway with his tractor, spreader or harrow; his bee hive is to be registered and examined by the bee inspector; his fruit stolen, the evergreen trees, grapes, pears. ber- ries and corn pillaged by a swarm of automobile pirates. What they are unable to steal, they run over and destroy.
 ITO one who has lived and hoped to be allowed to end his days among the hills and valleys he loves so well-the home of his ancestors-it is sorry picture. The only thing is to hike to the town and thank God if we arrive in safety"
 It may be useless to tell the farm CT of the great advantages of the goth century. He can't see it at all. And doubtless when he read what President Coolidge said the other day about the wonderful opportuni- ties of agriculturalists merely be- cause they lived under the folds of the American flag he will wonder why the President ever quit his fathers farm and went to the wick cd city.

DRESS SHOPS NOW
RECOGNIZE JOINT
BOARD AUTHORITY
Arrest Four Gangsters
For Cohen Shooting

Continued from Page One)
The agreement made with the Dress
Contractors Association by Sigman
after he had expelled the Joint Board
and the Dressmakers' Union, provides
that no business agent may enter a
shop unless accompanied by a clerk
Of the Association. Therefore when
a business agent Of the Joint Board
goes to a shop and talks to the work
ors inside, the employer is not only
recognizing the right Of the Joint
Board to represent the workers in
complaints, but is also multiplying the
agreement made by the International.
"The Joint Board will continue to
protect the workers in the shops ac-
eording to the provisions of the old
agreement" Mr.. Zimmerman said in
discussing the settlements. "The

New Boxing Scandal!
Commission Pro bling
Two Contract Graft

New York's latest boxing scandal
reached the boiling stage today.
Jess Mcmahon, who has been the
matchmaker of Madison Square
Garden for the past fifteen month,
was subpoenaed to appear before
the State Athletic Commission at
Fridays meeting.
He will be questioned regarding
his knowledge of a double contract
in the recent contest between
Charles (PMD Rosenberg and
Bushy Graham.
The commission is probing the
complaint of Billy Parr, manager
of Graham. that the defeated Utica
hantamweight was paid off with 5
per cent of the gate instead of the
official challenger's allowance.
Instead of $1,000. Graham's man
ager alleges he is to get less than
half of that sum.
The commission evidently intends
TO use the comical championship
contest in question as an oppOrtun-
ity to discourage double contracts
in this state. II is recognized fact
that the custom has been quite gem
eral in championship matches.

organization with one hundred mem
bers and 100000 capital, though only
month in existence, hundreds of let
tiers are pouring in from building
trade workers all over the country,
expressing a desire to go to Russia
to help build houses in the Workers
Republic.
Some Of those workers are single
but some have large families. Letters
Of inquiry have come from Los An
