William C. RCenttss. the Plainfield pastor, on The Privilege and Duty of Mutual f.elpful- ness. in connection with which the speak CT dwelt emphatically on the duty and privilege of helping as neighbors to make good citizens of all newcomers from other lands. At the beginning of the service Rev. T. Edward Davies. pastor of Westminster, welcomed the guests and at it's close, also in name of pastor and people, thanked them for their presence on the first service of the kind in the joint history of the two churches

Owing to the rainy weather there might be scarcity of pheasants Mir Tit comb added that there were few Hun garian cartridges left in the state. From what he said 1t was evident that the efforts to propagate these cartridges have not been successful They were first imported into this state in the hope that they would become acclimated some years ago during the administra- tion of the old fish and game commits sion of three which preceded the com mission made up of one from each coun-- ty that was legislated out of existence at the session of 1921. MT. Titcomb said further that the failure of Connec- t1cut to propagate this partridge is the experience of other states, and that the matter Is receiving the attention of the fsh and game officials whose field of activity takes in the entire country.
 The law restricts the number of grouse which may be shot in one day to three and to twenty-one for the entire season.
