Adjacent to the residences that have no plumbing, and usually located from ten to five hundred feet in the rear thereof, always is a small building known by various and assorted time honored names which are as euphonious as bath-room, lavatory or latrine. Such a structure located on the premises occupied by Henry Wilcox at Jonesville, the southern suburb of this village and near the Shell gas station, became on fire Friday morning Sept 1, to which the Fire Department made a rapid response as the first information was that it was the gas station. Such it was, but not the "Shell" As the damage was mostly confined to the roof, the usefulness of the edifice was unimpaired, except during a rain storm.

The blaze may have had its origin in some of the recent visitors smoking in self defense. All occupants escaped safely.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
