For twelve years the Niagara com pany with the first auto chemical fire apparatus in the United States oper- ated the machine and cared for the same without additional expense to the city, and is doing the same at the present time with the more modern apparatus. The PequOt company is doing the same. While preparation is being made for the coming of the Thomas auto the matter of saIaried drivers is being agitated. The Mi agaras purchased the old auto chem ical and hose wagon and the city al- lowed the company the same for re- spending to fires that were allowed for horse hire for the other companies, and from the proceeds the company engaged a driver and made good the deficit, if any. This same rule pre- vails now, with the new machine, and the Niagaras have two hired men, one on duty at all times. night and day, and without any special salary from the city for the drivers. This plan has worked successfully for nearly thirteen years and the Niagaras are satisfied with it's continuance; willing to take a chance as to expense just for the sake of aiding in the con- tinuance of the department on the volunteer system, which is so satis- flying to the people of New London and the great majority of the fire men.

There is an attempt in another quarter to actually meddle irto the affairs of the present fire department and even from a dictatorial standpoint which, if not checked, will eventually disrupt the present satisfactory de- partment. Agitation has been started to provide each of the eight fire organizations in the city with motor driven apparatus with high -salaried drivers. Think of a city which is the smallest in area in the state, with eight automobiles responding to an alarm of fire! The city has already two of these auto fire machines and a third has been purchased. with a auto hook and ladder truck in pros pect This number would appear to be adequate for all demands, with the four other horse drawn apparatus in reserve. If there is persistency in the idea to equip the whole department with motor driven apparatus, and also to have high priced drivers, the days of the volunteer department will be numbered. The present efficient and economical fire department will be supplanted by an expensive and less efficient department.

Farmers, like other men, are differently endowed at birth You can't make a bantam rooster out of a bull-frog by any process of cross breeding or hybridizatiOn:-the weren't born that way. Our fathers and mothers didn't give Us all the same kinds of brains. because they hadn't all the same kind to pass along. We don't all start with the same mental or physical capital
 And farmers, like other men, face different outlOoks from different en- virOnments. Most of us make our own roads before we can drive on them, and road-making isn't the same through marShy swamp as it is along a gravel embankment. We don't all of us have brothers in the commission business.
 Furthermore, a great many of us are farmers because we have to be, not because we want to be. We were many of us. pischforked by fate into the business, and stick to it simply because we cant get out of it alive This may be unfortunate. Lots of things are unfortunate which never theless are true.
