 i Fire Protection Needed
 Suppose the fire last week should have gained such headway that pails of water would not have put it out, then suppose other buildings should have taken fire. Every building between Mrs. Peet's residence and the Railroad street corner would have been in danger. Had they caught fire what progress to- ward extinguishing the flames could have have been made? The reader well knows the answer to this question. The village needs a fire company, more hose and more hydrants along with that sewerage system and shirt factory, if it can run the risk of becoming oross-eyed as result of looking so many ways at one time.
