mittee, of Hartford, gave an address on Growth.
 She asked, Is there room for more growth Get help from reviewing Ia miliar things. We are sure We are growing older-are we sure that we are wiser and better Are we more oughtful-interested in more peo- ple-gaining and growing in the knowledge of the world? Or are we growing less thoughtful, more careless and indifferent and better satlsned with out routine business and pleas ures?
 Have we become indifferent to the important work of extending the mem bership? It is not necessary to De church member to be Kings Daugh- | ter, but in many cases it leads to | church membership. The wearing Of the badge is an inspiration to striving for the best and the beauty of char 1 acter.

 Trusting Circle, Willimantic, has the best average attendance at the 29. Grace Circle, Norwich, is a close second with an average of IS out of membership of 20, and Heartsease, Norwich, average 12 out of a mem bership of I9. Happy Days of Col chester averages II out of 12 mem 70 meet. I believe they would head the list if they were to continue through the year.
 Gain and Lose.
 Almost all the circles have changed membership, losing a few and gain ing just enough to keep their num- Der even.
 I had to brush up my knowledge of percentage to determine which circle had made the greatest actual gain. Hearsease Circle leads with gain of 35 5-9 per cent, with Mizpah of New London with gain of 30 10-33 per cent. Or to express it in another way, Heartsease last year had 14 members and has gained i've making 19. Mig pah last year had 33 and has gained ten, making 4S- Home Chapter gain ed Il new members, but of course the per cent. gain was not as great as in the circles mentioned
 All the circles have devotional ex- erciseS, some of them using only The Lords Prayer. Have you ever tried using the programs in the Silver | Cross? We are going to use one this afternoon just to show you how fine they are. Many are not as elaborate as this one, demanding no original work.

 The gifts of the circles have been varied. It is not necessary for me to enumerate them.

The wife stated that she loved her husband, who was a hard-worl1er and industrious but that the real cause of her trouble was the interference of a sister of her husband, who occupied the upper ten ement of her husbands house, and who urged the children of the hus- hand by wife now deceased, to in- suit and degrade the present wife by splitting in her face and calling vile names. Getting down to the case in court, Isabella said her husband ask ed her to go out in th5 garden and help him plant potatoes.

CALIFORNIA WAS ONCE IM-
 PORTANT COAL PRODUCER

The records of the Stae Mining Bu- reau of Califirnia shiw a production of coal in California as early as 1861. At that time it was one of the 16 coal producing states and, relatively, of some importance as a coal producer. During the later part of that decade and throughout the following decade the coal production of California ex- ceeded 100000 tons annually and reached maximum of 236,95O tons in 1880. Since 1881 the production has been irregular. having been in fluenced chiefly, up to the beginning of the present century, by the imports of Australian and British Columbia coals, the receipts of Australian coals depending principally upon the wheat production and shipments from the Pacific Coast. Since 1890, however, according to the United States Geo logical Survey, with the great in- crease in the production and use Of petroleum which began in that year, fallen off.

CANNING MEAT AT HOME IS
 EASY AND PROFITABLE

In Farm and Preside a writer says that anyone, by a comparatively small investment in a canning outfit em- ploying steam under pressure as the sterilizing agent, can safely and cas- fly convert fresh meat in the fall and winter into a savory, appetizing sup ply for summer use which will always be ready for instant serving.
 "The meat We canned last winter" says this writer, included between 1 800 and 2,O00 quarts of pork, beef, and fish. Part of this work was done for farmers who were without can- ming outfits, and the remainder for people living in town.
 "These town people informed us that the pork We were canning cost them $6.50 a hundredweight, live weight, purchased from farmers. At that time the best cuts of pork were selling on the block at 30 cents a pound"
