With fire risks increasing because
of a growing town, increased electrical
wiring and additional oil and gaso-
line storage, it is incumbent on the
people of Woodstock to maintain the

and to get money is the object of this
statement.

Company. Every nickle spent at the
door will go for this laudaole pur-
pose. aud the Fire Ladies' ask that
the picture parlor be the MEGA Of the

his wife with him and went out to
plant potatoes. Nature has blessed
him with good appetite and he al

dinner time he was prepared to do full
justice to it.
He had some water, and seating him.
self, he hastily took off the lid of the
bucket which was supposed to contain
the dinner, and found only flour. To
describe his countenance would re-

and to repeat his language. we fear,

he blamed his wife, as husbands US

is evident that he picked up the wrong
