for various causes; but yet it is a
fact, that practically every family
today owns an automobile, many
have radios and make weekly at
tendance to the movies.
All of these are more or less in
the form of pleasure so we ask you
to think of your home. What if the
home or outbuildings should catch
fire?
You would want help and help
quick. Let us remind you that Mil
ford, Harrington or Houston Fire
companies would respond just as
quick as they could make the dis
tance after receiving the alarm and
whatever they did would be without
any charge to you.
Did you ever think that at such
times the members who respond. are
OFTEN working at their various
trades? That their time to help you
IS deducted from their pay? Did you
ever think tiremen often have to re-
spond to alarms at midnight or Ia
ter? Often in a hard electric storm
or when the mercury is some below
freezing while you are resting easy
IN your bed? Did you ever think that
the Houston Volunteer Fire Com
pany has not the capital to keep
supply of tiremen's clothing and
boots, coats and hats? That each
member furnishes his own out of his
own pocket? That the acid in the
chemical that we or any company
uses, is very destructive to wearing
apparel? which is an extra cost to
our members?
Last July we had debt of about
two hundred and fifty dollars; the
majority part we needed badly. There
was no way out of it at that time ex-
cept to borrow the amount from a
Dank IN Harrington, with six of the
members going security for the loan.
Several of those had done their part
already; now we have about fifty
dollars outstanding that was pledged
directly or indirectly.
There were also many small con-
tributions last spring at the time of
the canvas, unpaid, we ask one and
all to give this prompt attention. If
you promised something and have
not come across, you must do so now.
If you have not the money and have
corn or wheat, bring it to Theo.
Thlstlewood's mill and they will turn
over the equivalent in money to us.
II you have chickens or other farm
produce that the stores of Houston
or any of the surrounding towns can
handle, we are sure the merchants
VIII turn over the market price of
the same to us. You know that all
communities are fed up on suppers,
carnlvals, and like affairs for raising
money, so let's all get together and
clean up this debt; then give a little
to keep the fire apparatus in tune;
Tor, mind you, chemicals, hose and
gasoline are not given away. We
wish to thank the individual givers
one and all for past help. We also
wish to thank the Pennsylvania r.
Il. Co., StetsOn, Ellison Co., and the
directors of the Milford Trust Co.
for contributions.
We are yours in time of trouble.

IN CANADA.

Never was I more astonished in my
life than when next day was trans
ported suddenly into a French world
Certainly I knew that there was a
French-speaking part Of Canada. but
1 had not realized that the two lay SO
near to each other. Here in Montreal
I was received by a French mayor,
Mr.. Martin, with a French speech
and the most pleasant Of gentlemen,
Senator Dandurand, was my compan-
ion during the whole of that day.
1t was delightful to talk to him, as
he had been everywhere and had even
been at the Geneva conference, where
he was chosen as the president OF the
League Of Nations. He knew many
of my Rumanians, so we had no end
of things to say to each other.
It was a cold day, and although my
throat was still worrying me, wanted
to see this very beautiful town from
an open car. We made a two-hour
drive. visiting every part Of 1t. and I
was very much impressed by its size
and the way it was spreading. From
Montreal, in the center Of the town,
there was beautiful view. This Is a
very Catholic center, and most of the
French schools are directed by priests
and nuns, which gives it a special at
mosphere, an atmosphere Of great or
der, with something Of ceremony about
it, special to the Latin race.
1 was continually changing from
English to French. We also visited
both the English and French univer-
sites. Although I speak French
f1uently, feel moro at home making
an English speech than a French
one. However, with my usual cour-
age, which 1 call the courage Of the
innocent" I answered the French
ADDRESS made to me at the university
in that language. Here, too, were the
usual receptions, a large lunch In a
beautiful hall and a. smaller supper
with the principal authorities of the
town, to which the governor had
come from Quebec.
Regrets Missing Quebec.
Alas, there was no possibility of
visiting Quebec, although there were
pressing invitations and 1 knew that
1t was the oldest and most picturesque
town in Canada But our itinerary
could not take us that way.
One Of the most characteristic
visits I made was to Villa Maria, the
school for girls conducted by nuns.
Here everything was excessively
formal and never in my life have I
seen girls trained SO admirably to
perfect order. They all sat facing me
and my party, who had taken their
places upon q small platform. The
maidens were dressed in correctest

also black.
They sat on the edge Of their
chairs, their hands obediently placed
side by side on their knees. When
they rose, they rose as one man.
No German regiment could have
done it so perfectly. And when they
curtsied, you had more the sensa-
tion as though the floor were giving
beneath them than that they were
bending their knees. Their lips
were primly pursed and they onlV
smiled when permitted.
When they advanced toward us
to offer flowers, they did so with
tiny steps and toes well out-turned.
Their speeches were in sweet words
and beautifully pronounced, both in
French and English.
Ileana Is Sympathetic.
They played us excellent music
and. indeed, the orchestra, which was
entirely composed Of the pupils. was
first Glass; also their singing was as
good as we could possibly wish for.
Certainly their training was marvel
Gus, but Ileana pitied them, as she
had been at an English school
where one was very much less Sc
we're, and she hoped that they were
not on Sucn eXceIlenI DendVIoT every
day of their lives.
The nuns were charming, with
kindly faces and dignified manner.
Our last entertainment that evening
was a remarkabl good performance
of 1.-The Barber Of Seville" In
which the great Chaliap1n sang the
part of Don Basilio.
Chaliapin Is not only marvellous
singer. but a stupendous actor. He
makes something wonderful out OF
whatever part he plays, be 1t Boris
Godounoff, Don Quixote or Bon
Basilio. The performance was given
In a mighty hall, in which thousands
could be seated. The place was full.
There was only one little drawback
to the whole thing, and that WIS that
T was terribly sleepy at the end OF

speeches and banquets, and, added to
that. q long drive in frosty air. The
moment I sit still sleep overcomes me,
and who has not known that agoniZing
sensation Of trying to keep awake
when your eyelids seem weighted with
lead and when, however interested and
charmed you are, you cannot keep
from nodding. A queen cannot peace
fully sleep unobserved at such mo-
ments, and a fatal drop Of her head

Meets Old Acquaintance.
The next morning we were whisked
back to the English language, with
smattering of French now and then.
We arrived at Ottawa at what call
decent hour, about $50, and were
officially welcomed at the station by
the governor, Lord Willingdon; the
mayor and members of the govern.
ment. Lord Wilmington is an &C.
aaintance of mine from England. He
once sat beside me in London at a
dinner given by Lady Astor, when
we had talked about very interesting
subjects, upon India and China. both
Of which countries he knows perfectly
well.
Lady Willingdon is tres grande
dame, accustomed to masterfully play
her part as hostess. seconding her
, husband with that savoirfaire SO nee
essary to those who occupy high
positions.
After having visited the archives, to
my great Joy was driven to model
Canadian farm which interested me
especially, as in Rumania we have the
same agricultural questions to solve
as in Canada. Whilst on the farm,
Lord Willingdon ceded his place to the
director, who was able to explain
everything to me from a technical
point Of view. I was interested in
each separate section; the growing Of
cereals, the planting of fruit. the rails
ing Of livestock, forestry, vegetables
and flowers.
AS usual, 1t was too hurried visit.
simply longed to go more into detail
Of each single thing. But, unfortu-
nately, our every half hour was
mapped out. Before we left the farm
we were taken into a farmhouse full
Of glorious chrysanthemums and a
new sort Of this flower was given my
name. There was a semi-circle Of
tables heaped up with gorgeous
apples. We could not help tasting
them then and there.
