CORN.HOG PAYMENT

Benehciaries OF corn-hOg pay
ments are slow In calling for their
allotment, according to treasurer
Paul Kurtz, who said that 81 days
after checks are received here they

MAY Precipitation
NEARLY Two inches

With approximately two inches of
rain thus far this month, Sheridan
cOunty's moisture for the month
nearly equals that received In the
nine months Immediately preceding
this one, in which period only 2.18
inches OF precipitation was recorded.
Farmers over the county generally
are said to be jubilant as planting
season draws to close. "Intermit-
tent rains and lateness Of seed loan
ARRIVALS" said county agent NJ. ].
Peterson, ''have caused delay in
wheat planting IN this county, where
less than 90 percent OF the sowing
has been completed"
Seed loan checks are arriving
daily, the Herald Is informed by the
clerk and recorders office, and out
of approximately 1000 applications
made, more than 800 checks have ar
rived thus far. The checks are In
amounts Of from 500 to $500. Checks
to farmers living In outlying COM
munities are mailed to kemen In
those districts, who collect the filing
fees and deliver the vouchers.
Range Grass Slow
Range grass this year got off to
slow start, but recent rains have
aided growth of native grass. How
ever, much of the grass died out,
due to heavy winds and lack OF rain
last season 1t is said that the natu-
raj grass is between two and four
weeks behind normal for this time OF
year.
Sheridan county now has only
about half the cattle left that were
here a year ago, due to government
purchases. This should give the
range a chance to regain at least
some of its former feed.

Judge Ells closed stating the court was certain MT Connor would fill the position equally as well as MT Dudley and mentioned that he was the brother of the late Roger Connor, perhaps the most outstanding baseball player in Wat. erbury's history.

He played professional baseball for 17 years, at one time, 1901, serving with the Cleveland team. Aftor leaving Cleveland, MT Connor with his brother, Roger, bought the Springfield team in the Eastern League and operated the team for several years, besides playing with the team. He was an outstanding catcher.
 Played on Many Teams
 Tn 1904, the Connor brothers sold the Springfield team. to Dan O'Neill. In 1906, MT Connor played with the Newark team of the In- ternational league and in 1907 he was with Montreal. The next three years were spent with the Spring field team, after which MT Connor retired. That was in 1910.
 He came back to Waterbury and accepted a position as foreman with the Waterbury Mfg Co which he held for a number of years. Of late years, MT Connor has been en- gagged in the selling field. He has been an Elk for 33 years.

 One would impose a fine of $10O for impersonating Q policeman and of weights to sale of Cooke as now affect coal.
 Appointment of committee consisting of the governor, Lieut. governor and chief Justice of the Supreme court to commemorate the founding of the first court tn Connecticut, was approved.
 The senate received the gover- nor's homestead bill, rejected by the house, and tabled 1t for late action.
 It also tossed out 32 liquor bills which were treated similarly in the lower branch.
 A short debate ensued over an unfavorable report of the judiciary committee to refuse to restore state salary cuts.
 Sen J. Kenneth Bradley, chair man of the judiciary, delcared "the state can't afford it."
 Sen Hogan held out for restora- ton of the decreases to those ''in the lower brackets declaring many could ill-afford to struggle along on wages which provides a bare existence"
 After the session, Bradley said he looked up the statutes and found the 1883 emergency measure applicable only to those in the higher brackets "and there really was no reason for debate."
 The bill was tabled by 16-13 vote.
 Two bank bills were passed, one repeating an emergency measure of 1883 giving the bank commissioner authority to restrict bank opera tions in the interests of depositors and stockholders, and another com polling bankers to dispose of ob- jectionable investments within two years.
 Approval also was given the highway department to construct. in conjunction with the New York department, a grade separation at the state line, connecting the Mer- rit highway and Hutchinson River Parkway.
 Unfavorable action was taken on bills to create commission on state Improvements; reduce the membership of the state tuberculo- sis commission from to and authorize a planning board for municipalities.

saillss treaty, was effected simply in the presence of perhaps 40 peo- pie in the little ornate castle.
 At a signal from Prick, before a microphone, the Maxi swastika and the black-white-red flag of the Reich were raised from tens of thousands of poles all over Ger many.
 Joyous Acclaim Broke Out
 Church bells. factory and ship sirens and whistles, burst into a din that echoed throughout the coun- try from the Rhine to the Baltic and the North Sea to the Alps.
 Saarlanders and Germans join- cd in cheers and songs.
 As the flags were raised and the bells and whistles hailed them, col- umns of Nazi patriotic organiza- tions in uniform, behind blaring bands, marched into the German Sar from every road along the bor- der.
 Then, in the first mad hours of rejoicing, there came word that Hitler was coming.
 A celebratory mass meeting, scheduled for p. m. was moved up to D. m. q D. m. EST) so that Hitler could make speech.
 Formal Transfer Made
 Baron Pompeo Aloisi, chairman of the League of Nations Saar com- mittee, formally handed over the 737 miles of rich territory and sov- eriegnty over it's 815,500 people, to Wilhelm Prick, minister of interior in the German cabinet, at 9:37 a. m, (3:37 a. m. EST). ~i
 Joseph Buerckel, Nazi commits sioner for the territory during the last months of its IS years under league rule, automatically became governor of the territory and the Saar itself became a province of the third Reich.
 Church bells peeled throughout the Saar as the territory was handed over. It was the signal for the addition of thousands of Nazi and German flags to those already flying. Picked units of All German military and 7semi-military bodies except tho army was forbidden un- der the Versailles treaty clause de- militari2ing the Rhineland-s stepped across what had ben the frontier to the German Saar, bands blaripg national anthems.
 Celebrations were started form ally all over Germany in a welcome home to four-flfths of a million Germans.
 Celebrations Everywhere
 Actually the celebrations start ed last night. In the Saar and in the rest of Germany, the Reich and the Fatherland were toasted to "heils'' and "hochs'' in millions of steins of beer and glasses of wine.
 For more than 15 years Saar flanders had been under alien rule, their territory allotted and their mines given to France in compen- sation for French mines destroyed by German armies in the World War.
