Else hé may sometimes spend money for-that” which is not breéad, and la- bor for that which satisfieth not. In my own past season’s experience I've had two excellent illustrations of the difference between ‘“adopting” and “adapting.” I had to put my cabbages in a new place; last spring. The old patch had developed club-root and called for a 'change of crop. Now every authority on cabbage-raising will tell you that either naturally or made so by profuse manuring. ‘Also, that cabbages call for an unusual percentage of potash in their feeding. My new patch wasn't particularly rich—just fairly good soil. It -had been in potatoes for two or three years and was in good tilth. But oggi- ‘mess.” er, T was short ‘of ma- nure. 'So I “adapted” my method to what I reasoned would. it ‘the crop and the soil. I just ltmed it. A little ‘acid”, phosphate, was ‘mixed -with the | ground limestone, but nothing else. Yesterday afternoon a neighbor look- ing_over, it, said: “I've raised ‘cabb: and helped other folks raise 'em for forty years, but I never saw a piece with such big ‘and hard and even heads in my UEed -5 That's .what came from “adapting” available means to_suit a special crop under special conditions. Last winter | read the advice of a big “tomato-grower given at a farm- “er's “Tastitate” to “some questioner who evidently had the same trouble with his crop' that T do, and who wanted to kmow how to get the fruit to ripen in our ‘short New .

In his inaugural he set forth the policy “and the council members and the readers of newspapers applauded the sentiment expressed therein. It with essential, of co to_comply with.the declared wish of ‘majority of the voters, to put none but mem- ders of the dominant party on guard, and this was done to a nicety, without regard t6 the length of party membérship, in at least one instance. After placing all the departments of the’ city under republican control, Mayor Rogers announced that politics should beé eschewed for the rest of the municipal 'year, and that the court of common councti and'the mayor should work in unison for the advancement for 21l that was good for ul. advance- ment of the city. According. to custom, the democrats holding paying offices were ousted and the npublican: they succeeded were put back into their old places, with the exception of building inspector and city physiclane, hew republicans being chosen for these offices. The selection of the standing committees showed the mayors good judgment and the republican majority in recog- nitionh of the long and efficient' service of Alderman Richard M. Brockett elected him to be senior alderman, and acting mayor in the absence or inahil- unable to attend to the duties of the ofice. . Nayor Rogers showed most excel- lent judgment s selection of the fire rtment comittee, or fire com- missioners, and will perhaps see to it that each member of the committee receives the customary gold badge of office, at the expense of the city they serve. It so happened that by some hook or crook there are three mem bers of the council who are not co: nected in some way with thre member- ship of the fire department, and he named this trio, Aldermen Sherman, Murray and. Cook as that committee. Surely a competent committee who will attend to the business of the de- partment for the best interest of the public, but perhaps in no better way than most of the committees that have gone before. However, it was a good move on the part of the mayor and both he and the committee ~will soon be convinced that all that ghi ters ie not gold and that things are not always what they seem. There is a feeling in the department that there has been partiality shown by former. committees in the matter of supplies to the several companies, and that for the past few years one cer- tain company had the call over all others as the ehairman of the fire committee was a member of that par- ticular company. This new committee will ‘soon. find out the fallacy of such a feeling and that as a matter of fact, by reason of that close relationship, the company received less attention in that regard than any of the seven that compose the department. The committee will alsc learn that despite the hints of graft, that the department has received a better grade of supplies and for less momey than ever before by purchasing through a local agent for fire supplies, even if that agent happened to be the foreman of one of the fire companies. The reduction of the membership of the fire department to three from five | is another good move, and had this| plan prevailed much of the present jealousies, based on fancy rather than on fact, would never have come into existence, there would be no eemb- lance of that rule or ruin policy in the committee, and all would have been harmony, the City reaping the benefit. Wkat the volunteer fireman can do was demonstrated at the Goldsmith building fire last Tuesday night, when only the roof of the wooden structure was burned and the fire kept confined in comparatively small space. While on this subject, just a few lines In explanation. The F. L. Allen Hook and Ladder company was the only company of the entire department that did not respond to the fire alarm with its accustomed alacrity. ‘The local newspapers gave as a reason that. the horses secured by the fire committee to draw the aparatus had been taken away from the Harvey stable and sta. bled in Belden street, half a mile dis tant from the truck house. Which is not true. As a matter of fact the horses selected to draw the hook and ladder truck are owned by the F. H. and A. H. Chappell company and sta- bled within two hundred feet of the truck house. The horses with driver responded to the first toot of the fire alarm whistle ‘and were at the fire house before the alarm thad com- pleted - the first round. ‘The horses and driver were in front of the house. when Assistant Chief Engineer Goldie came running along to get to the fire. He opened the door®and the horses ‘were ‘hitched to the apparatus and the driver on the seat ready to make the Tun, but the driver, who is new at the work, would not start for the fire un- til some member of the truck com- pany arrived to give him direction: Therefore -the delay in the truck in arriving at that 'as not up to the chairman of. the fire ittee as in- timated in the local newspapers.

Before the fire alarm had. finished its round, fire companies had streams of water on the big blaze, and the president of the Soltz company, owner of the burned buflding declared that the gallant work of the firemen was really surprising, and had the alarm been sent in' just a little bit quicker, the fire loss would have been immaterial, and that no paid fire de- partment could have given better ser- vice. He noted that the firemen were equipped not only for direct fighting with the fire, but also with equipment that made It possible for the firemen to go right into the bullding and not be effected by the dense smoke, and that in the event of being overcome, the equipment was at hand to bring about restoration. Just at the present time, by the ap- pointment of the non-membership fi committee, fire departmental matters is the talk of the town. Hence these tears. The altogether too frequent and unjustified attacks upon the local fire department in local newspapers, of an oil and water nature, is an agitation that is unwarranted although, coyched in sugar-coated words. 1t reads mice- ly, but that's all. The people who pay the freight are satisfied Wjith the service, and have not very much fault to find with the members of the de- partment, who, after years of faithful active service, have stepped away from the pipe and hose, to_give the young and the more vigoroiis oppor- tunity to do active duty, and in con- sequence become the so-called pear- firemen, thé chowder firemen, the silk stocking firemen, the featherbed fire- men, or any other kind of an old fire- men. Some of these so-called orna- mental but not useful firemen of the present time, were active firemen of the old red-shirt type, who ran wid de mercheen in the days when the streets of New London were not paved and risked their lives and epoiled their clothes in an honest endeavor to save the lives and propertles of others. They have a right to keep up the membership in the companies of to day, and do so at no expense to the city or any one. else, and they are in no way a detriment to the department, but on the contrary of considerable value to the depart- ment in keejing up the intrest - and efficiency of the volunteers, who do as good fire work as any firemen any- where. New London has an efficient and an economical fire department and the people are satisfied regardless of the unreasonable agitation against the men who are satisfled to serve the city without pay.
