Mr. Cool had high praise for the Brooklih telephone operator, who summon. ed the neighbors to the scene by phone when notified of the fire and also despatched the Brooklin fire truck to the scene. Owing to a mishap, the fire truck did not ar- rive until the building had been destroyed, however. Other Buildings in Danger - The blaze was fanned by strong westerly breeze, which sav- ed the garage at the rear of the huilding, but seriously endangered two residences, those of the aged Mrs. Willlam Squelch and Jack Kollington, situated just across the corner from the structure, and Thompson's general store, on the south.west corner. The Kellington house ignited twice and the Squelch residence once, but the work of the neighbors who shovelled snow on the roofs, saved the houses and the store from des- truction. a Yack of Water The workers were greatly handi capped by lack of water, the wells having nearly all gone dry. In fact, the best well in the village was situated in the cellar of the burning building.

It has shattered so many budding romances (still quoting the ad. vertisements) that now is the time for sufferers to go hand in hand with, Cupid and propose. If its manifestations are noticed surely they will be attributed to onions and not to the real cause. But aside from all joking there are hundreds of us who realize their sterling worth as a food. Who would think of planting a veget- able garden without onions? Or who in the spring or early sum- mer, does not enjoy green onions and 'lettuce, in spite of the fact that the penalty is usually social ostraciam unless one has resort to peppermints or one of the widely advertised preparations for breath improvement, Speaking of onions and lettuce they both have remarkable pow- ors for it is said: A lettuce leaf a day, Keeps the doctor away; But an onion a day Keeps everyone away. ---- The sweet voung thing entered the office of the fashionable dog kennels and tripped up to the handsome young man at the desk.
