Wives of officials who have lived up
to their social obligations as conscien-
tiously as their spouses have to their
political ones breathe a sigh of relief
as the official period passes, and. with
a sense of duty done, enter into the
informal spring season with a feeling
of freedom that argues well for their
own and their friends enjoyment.
Nowhere do wives of public men do
more 10 help or hinder their husbands
in their political ambitions, the most
realizing how great a part the social
game plays in the business of official
life.
And many man high in the esteem
of his country and his fellowmen owes
much of his success to his wife-an OBJ
legation that most are only too glad
to accord to their helpmates. Wash

Apparently the most violent critics
OF Billy Sunday are those who have
never heard him speak and who form
their opinion from newspaper reports.
In this matter it must be remembered
that, while newspapers are in the long
run the only accurate source Of infor-
nation ON general topics, they always
present first the dramatic side OF a
story because OF it's news value and
greater interest.

During the next few days it will
devolve on Sergeant alarms Frank
r. Parsons to appoint some thirty
employees at the statehouse to work
during the session. The list includes
pages, messengers, sweepers, etc, and
there are ordinarily from 2000 to 5000
applications for these thirty places.
Folks sometimes think it strange that
there should be so many candidates
tor elective offices but experience
shows that there are only a scatter
ing few who have the courage TO 80

multitude who seek places which are
given by appointment

Use of Play Ground Site Donated by
 Robert Harris of POmfret

Putnam is Ito have a public play ground. This became an assured fact this Thursday morning when Robert Harris of Pomfret notified Mrs. C. D.. Arnold of Putnam, one of the most en- thusiaslie workers on the committee, that he would donate the use of a strip of land on School street for playground purposes. The land adjoins ithe land of the Israel Putnam school grounds on the south aad runs 200 feet or more to land of [ D. Sharpe. Mr. Harris told the committee that they could do anything they wished with the land to make it suitable for playground pur- poses and could use it ss long as he lived.
 The committee of ladies first took the matter up last fall but as il was late in the season no definite action was taken. Funds have been raised for the purpose in view and the settl. ing of the perplexing problem of a suitable location has greatly elated the ladies who sincerely appreciate the kind thoughtfulness of the eomffei gentleman.
