 The residents of Sylvandaie are very grateful to the A. A. Young, Jr, Fire company for the fine spirit and willing ness displayed in rendering all aid possi- b1e at the Bugbee fire Monday, night The fire was 1000 feet away from the last hydrant on South Main street and in an other town. Many were surprised that so efficient stream was available after passing through 1000 feet of hose. It is only explained in the fact that at this lower hydrant there is a pressure of 1S.5 pounds to the square inch. When the alarm sounded a large number of the f1remen who responded were in their best togs in the Casino dancing pavilion. Best >togs cost fifty bones per outfit. Drawing length after length of mud covered hose nearly a fifth of a mile isn't conducive to the general health of best togs at $50 perl This matter has been brought to the attention of borough officials and it is believed they will take some action looking toward reimbursing a volunteer fireman who ruins clothing in perform ance of his duty.

 "An extremely backward season for crops" is the manner in which the far
 mers, as whole, describe the present growing period. Corn is spindling and
 dwarfed and unless real hot weather comes at once and stays for weeks the corn crop in eastern Windham county is likely to be complete failure this year.
 Potatoes are making the best showing, at least so far as growth of vines is con- cerned but crops as a whole are in piti-
 fully poor condition for the first week in July.
