THE KINGS DAUGHTERS
 IN MUNICIPAL LIFE
Topic of Rev. c. H. Ricketts at Meet ing of City Union-PIeasing Musi- cal Programme.

1 The City Union of Kings Daughters and Sons held it's quarterly. session, a l most enjoyable affair, at the Central Baptist church Tuesday evening with address of the evening was by Rev. 1 c. H. Rtcketts, whose subject was The Kings Daughters in Relation to 1 Civic Life. The programme for the l evening was as follows: Selection, Mandolin club; hymn, Take My Life and Let It Be; reading from the Scrip ture and prayer by Rev. P. c. Wright; roll call. each circle responding in unison with circle motto; solo, Oh, Swallows Flying South, Foster Miss Elsie Brand; address. Rev. MT. Rick etts; solo, Love Sings the Lark, Bis choff, and Mavourneen, Lang, Miss Brand. The selections by Miss Brand were much enjoyed and the mandolin numbers were also appreciated. Rev. MT. Ricketts took his text from Psalm 4s: 13: The Kings daughter is all spiritual order. he said, effects the whole human race, not 8 part of 1t and therefore one-ha1f the race cannot do it alone. Atonement was made for the world made up of men and women and therefore 1t must be men and women jointly by their faith and works who are to make their calling and election sure"
 The position of woman has been raised from the degraded level of the time of the writing of the psalm so that today she stands on the equal level with man and has the same opportunities for education and ad- vancement Now it seems to me that an emphatic word ought to be spoken for the larger civic activity on the part of the women. It appears to me that there are some phases of municipal work that could be better done by the daughters than. by the sons of the King. Rev. MT. Ricketts then spoke of a number of features of public work, the making of.the city beautiful, outwardly and inWardly, the neral cleaning of the city, which he felt should be taken up by the daughters of the King.
 We have in the social order today, he said in concluding, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, but there are very few houses of refuge fer the unfortunate girls. There lies before your society great duty and great opportunity to ge cut to a larger service fer your sisters in the common Lord and wefk for the restoration of the glorious beauty of the daughters of the King
 On the conclusion of the BPogra mrne a delightful social session was enjoyed and dainty refreshments were served under direction of Mrs. A. T. Utiey. Miss Helen Hamilton was in charge of the music.
 The following young ladies made up the Mandolin club: Misses Mary A. Gallup, Mildred Cary, Georgia Fill more, Vera Stetson, Dorothy Alton, Helen Storms, Ruth Symington and Olive Linton. pianist

 Through the state police and local officials we have helped to secure the conviction of many lawbreakers in various communities. The Connectf- cut Citizen has been a great help in stirring sentiment and spreading in formation as to conditions and needs. We believe that its influence is con stantly increasing.
 A substantial gain has been made in reducing the debt during the year and we hope that 1t can be entirely wiped cut during 1913. The treasurer's re- port shows receipts of SS,636.33 and disbursements of $S.392.13. leaving a balance of $244.20 on hand.
 Many churches have opened their pulpits to our speakers for the pres entation of our cause and the passing of pledges for the support of the work. If this can be still more widely done in the coming year. our financial prob lem will be largely solved
 Rev. Charles H. Barber of Danielson was elected president. Hon. L. E. Whiton was elected vice president from New London county, and N. H. Gallup of this city was elected director for three wears

RUMoRs OF IDEAL"
 IN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Democrats and Republicans Said to
 Be Willing to Exchange.

Rumors of a. "deaI' concerning county conmissionerships which have been affoat for some time. are given concrete expression by. the New Ha- ven Register in the following para graph taken from long article on the subject:
 Eight county commissioners will ter minate their regular terms during the year; that Is. one in each county. Now it is understood that in four of the counties the democrats will be given a minority representation on the county commissions and that ins-four other counties the republicans will be al- lowed to continue the present incun1- bents if they want them. or to select some other republicans for these jobs. This exchange which both sides agree bery, is made to expedite the business of the general assembly. If such an agreement was not made then the house and senate would probably dis agree, assuming that the republicans always have their full strength present in the house. and there would be the very dickens to pay.
 Whose Terms Expire.
 The county commissioners whose terms expire October 1 in the eight counties follow:
 Hartford-F' Ernest Watkins of Manchester.
 New Haven-Joh ohm Wilkinson of Orange.
 New London-Charles D. Moves or Norwich
 Fairfield -Whitmas s. Mead of Greenwich.
 WindhamAE Herbert corttis of Thomp pson.
 Litchheld-John J. Karl of Litch- field.
 Middlesex-Charles E. Chapman of Westbrook.
 Holland -Mayro Keeney of somers.
 The Holland county commissioner is a member of the present senate.
 While the election of county com missionerships is done by the, entire assembly on caucus selections by the counties, it Is interesting that the democrats Will-or Would-centro1 five of the eight counties.
 AS far as any deal" in New Lon don county, MT. Moves said on Tues day that he had heard of none here and knew nothing of one.

The whites of the rural south, and four f1fths of the population is rural have no opportunities for learning and the few who can. come from eight or nine states, to study at Piedmont.
