We all believe in preparedness" and
with that 10 view we organized and
equipped at some considerable expense
Fire Department. To be sure It has
had little to occupy Its attention and
what is sverybody's business soon be-
comes nobody's. Among other equip
ment is an expensive chemical extin-
guisher which for the past four winters
! has been stored in q cellar and kept
from freezing, but the present winter
has been left in the hose house and al.
lowed to freezs. It should be repaired
and re.charged and no doubt the citizens
of the village will be glad to contribute
to pay the necessary expense and feel
that such fire apparatus as We have Is In
commission in case of need. With no
desire to blame anyone we feel that 1t Ia
better to call attention to the matter
now than to wait until We are caught
unprepared.
w. q. Cummings & Son are cutting
