It is no doubt unpleasant for women
to have to remove the great masses of
poultry, fruit, hardware and other
junk used IN the construction of a
modern hat, but the fact is that no
woman should wear hat of this kind
into public assemblage unless she is
willing to take it off. The public has
some rights, as well as women who
want to wear big hats. The big hat
has no more place in public assembly
than a screaming baby. They are
equally annoying to the audience. One
keeps an audience from seeing and the
other keeps it from hearing -Salina

Last week Plainville had an awful
fire, which burned down many Of their
business buildings in the heart of the
town with loss way up in the thous-
ands Of dollars. Their new water
works are not yet completed 30 they
only had their bucket brigade and little
was saved. To US this shows the i'm
portance Of always having plenty Of
water in our city tank ready for quick
use when the engines get to working,
for a fire here on our business streets
would do untold damage if it got a
Roadway. The tank should never be
less than half full.
