CONNECTICUT WANTS CHANGE
 IN CATTLE SHIPMENT RULF

Radical changes in the rules and reg ulaticns governing the interstate ship ment of cattle. especially affecting Con- necticut, will be explained in this state by Commissioner on Domestic Animals James M. Whittlesey. Friday, when the commissioner and Deputy Commissioner George E. Corwin will meet with about 25 dealers at the Hotel Garde. The meet ing will be preceded by a dinner.
 In view of changing regulations of the federal government the meeting is of added importance, according to Commits sioner Whittlesey. B. L. Small, federal in spector of the bureau of animal industry, stationed at Hartford. will also attend the meeting.
 Commissioner Whittlesey said Tuesday that the forthcoming meeting was ap- proved by the Connecticut Dairymens as seciation and that Public Utilities Com missioner Joseph ". Alsop, president of the association. would probably preside. Under the provisions of the statutes gov erning the department, the commissioner on domestic animals is enabled to make rules and regulations in the interests of the livestock industry upon the approval of these by the governor.
 Chief among the contemplated changes in the state rules regarding the import ation of cattle is one calling for the arbitrary retesting of csSttle imported for dairy purposes, according to Comnis- sioner Whittlesey, This is in line with efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis. -Four years experience has taught us the necessity for requiring an arbitrary retest," said CommissionEr Whitt1esey. "Retesting is done now. but only in ex- ] treme cases. majority of cattle re- tested are reactors. Many cattle which 1 have been in the state less than a year show signs of tuberculosis on post mor- | tenn examination. They were tubercu- 1 lar when imported as they could not con- i tract tuberculosis in that time in this ! state.
 "A majority of the states require by statute the restricting of cattle after be- | ing imported. The statute law of Con- necticut is broad enough to permit the i commissioner on domestic animals to change the rules and regulations with the approval of the governor. A number of cattle dealers who sell repla tc 1 owners of herds which are depopulated 1 by condemned cattle have expressed 8 willingness to co-operat in this work and will submit their imported cattle to re
 tests at their own expense.
 "Iihe impression has prevailed that
 cattle dealers and farmers are agains the plans of the commissioner on domes
 tic animals, but the sentiment has chang
 ed in favor of the state Healthy cat tie are now considered an asset and i
 is getting so now that farmers are de
 manding health certificates with the cat
 tie that they buy from the dealers.

FAM1LY WELFARE DEPARTMENT
OF THE UNITED WORKER

lnother department of the United Workers, which is described by the off, cers in connection with the campaign for more money soon to be opened in this city. is the family welfare depart men.
 For many years this department of the United Workers retained the name of the City Mission, which originally belonged to an independent organization , of citizens, which was by them transfer red to the care of the United Workers. It seems best at the present time to change the name to Family Welfare de- partment. thus more accurately defining it's specicr function.
 For family welfare work concerns it. self chiefly with the family as a whole, seeking to develop normal family life and to raise its standard, so that it may become .seif-sustaining. Each fam l fly must be studied individually. in order i to determine the cause of the trouble which makes it's members seek public 1 aid Careful investigation must be made to find out whether poverty. illness or immortality Is at the root of the diffi- culty and so to meet each separate prob 1 lem constrQctively. and to give aid by methods that shall help toward a better standard of living. Often financial as- 1 sistance is not so much needed as med
 ica1 care, legal advice, suitable employ
 ment or education and guidance toward ! improved conditions.
 The present existing lack. of employ
 ment will make financial aid increasing
 ly necessary as winter comes on, and to
 meet the enlarged demands. more mon- ey will be needed to relieve those tenn porarily out of work. This branch of the United Workers has only an annual income of two hundred dollars from its
 own invested funds, and Is therefore
 almost wholly dependent for means to
 carr yon it's work, on the general treas ury of the United Workers and the gifts of the public.
 We earnestly hope that our friends
 will bear these facts in mind and sus- tain our work generously, both by theil gifts and by their sympathetic interest
 and cooperation. We would also ask that any cases of need, which may be brought to the notice of individuals. may be reported to the family welfare depart nent.

NORWICH TOWN

Sunday morning at the Norwich town 1L. P. Church, Rev. James B. AldIich gave very impressive sermon ca "A Woman's Choice" He opened his address by saying that he was go- ing to tell a love story, unlike those found in papers or books. It was one all had heard many times, taken from the book of Ruth. Her reply to Naomi was the text: 'Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will so: and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God. Where thou di- est will I die; and there will I be buried"
 Naomi showed an unselfish spirit in trying to persuade Ruth to return to her own land, but there was some- thing in the life of this mother in law which caused her to cleave to her re- Eardiess of difficulties, hardships, and new people and home
 Naomi was that stamp of a woman whose womanlinesss goodness, and lov- Illness spoke Of the God in whom she trusted. and helped others to live a life of eternal victory.
 This story has in it choice that every man and woman must make. A decision must be made in every life. Many of us make this decision at the altar. Are we not willing to follow when the sun is shining? But when the thunder rolls and the way is dark, do we say T cannot go? Some lack will power and turn back; some are carried away by others and are for getful. Ruths will power kept her from turning.
 4 Christian is called to go where ever Christ leads by sacrificing self and going forth in His strength.
 Christ doesn't promise wealth. a mansion, or even cottage here; but He has promised, if we fight the good fight of faith, a crown of life is laid up for us.

ONE KILLED, THREE INJURED
OsceoIa Sheriff Attempts to Search
Car for Liquor.

Kansas City, Oct. 20.-One man was
killed and three others dangerously
wounded near Osceola, Ia, last night
when E. ]. West, Osceola sheriff, at
tempted to search an automobile for
liquor. This information was con-
tanned in a message to the Kansas City
police from Sheriff West, who said he
believed the motor car containing four
men who did the shooting, was head
ing for Missouri. 1t bore a Kansas
City license number. According to
Sheriff Vests message the four men
opened fire on him and his parry when
orGered to submit to a search.
Charles Jones, a farmer, was killed,
and DIR. William Fuller, a veterinary
surgeon of Murray, Ia, and John Mil
Ter of Osceola. were dangerously
wounded. Loading his injured com
panions into his touring car, the sher-
iff pursued the supposed liquor run
ners thirty miles south to Mount Ayre,
Ia, where he lost their trail.
In his message to the Kansas City
police, Sheriff West said the four men
were camped by the side of the road
when he approached with his party.
He said that, believing they were
liquor runners, he ordered them to
hold up their hands and submit to
search and that they responded by
opening fire.
