Our Firemen
As there seems considerable disposi¬ tion to find fault with the Village Board of Fire Commissioners because our firemen are short of coats, helmets, nozzles, etc., it seems well to say em¬ phatically that if the firemen do not secure all they need in the line of equipment during the coming year, the blame will belong to Chief Engineer Cozzens and not to the Fire Commis¬ sioners. At the last meeting of the Board Chief Cozzens was requested to submit a requisition of the supplies the department needed, with a positive assurance that the money for securing same would be raised in the next tax budget. Chief Cozzens has the inter¬ est of hi.-i firemen at heart and will nndoubtedly do his part.
The Board meets to-night, at which time Chief Cozzens will probably pre¬ sent his requisition in writing for the action of the Board, which without the slghtest doubt will be favorably acted upon.
And our liremen are entitled to every cents worth of supplies they get. An outsider who stands and criticises does not imagine the work of our volunteer -department. At the alarm Tuesday morning the pole of the truck of Ex¬ celsior Hook and Ladder Company was broken and while on the way to the fire the back axle was bent; the company allowing too many comrades on the wagon, making the weight too much forthe small axles. The firemen had to walk home a mile and a half, about 4 o'clock in the morning; strip the truck, take it to the blacksmith shop and go to Atlantic Avenue, nearly another mile south, for the old truck, return to the truck house and "dress" the old machine in readiness for anoth¬ er alarm. It was about six o'clock when the firemen finished, after nearly three hours of work. Needless to say the gang of fire critics were not around when this was going on, nor the even¬ ing of the same day,when another two hours was used bringing the truck back, rehanging the drop harness and shifting the apparatus. Five hours' - -work in ono day! Thia is not an ex¬ ceptional case, only one that happened to come under our per.sonal observation.
The firemen are entitled to all the apparatus they want and they wiil get it!
Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company is thinking of aibending its by-laws so UB to make the Y. W. D. A. honorary members. The Review mentioned that after the last fire a number of ladies furnished the Excelsiors with coffee. They then promised to have the warm liquid after every alamr. They were told the next alarm would, be between two and three o'clock in the morning. They replied that they didn't care: they i)rould be there and when "the Hooks" returned there was the coffee with Mrs. Nettie Wallace and Misses Hattie Peasell, Hannah Giebel and Emily Schluter waiting to serve it. The la¬ dies are all natural firemen's assistants, Mrs. Wallace being the wife of First Assistant Chief Wallace, Miss Peasell the daughter of ex-Chief Peasell, de -.ceased, and Misses Giebel and Schluter nieces of Assistant Foreman Schluter. While a number of the firemen were awaiting for the arrival of the old truck they were invited to a pinochle tournament at the house of Chief Wal¬ lace, with hot coffee for all, from 4:30 to 5:30.

One of the prettiest entertainments that has been given in Freeport was presented at the Baptist Church on the evening of Lincoln's Birthday, by members of the Sunday Sch«»oi, as¬ sisted by Miss Lillian Vernon Watt of New York. The program was under the direction of Mrs. F. O. Cunning¬ ham and the pr<K-f eds oi t\w entertain¬ ment were applied toward the p,urchase' of the new lot of land.
The Cantata, entitled ""The Court of the New Year" was repeated by re¬ quest, in .-iddition to which were re¬ citations and singing of patriotic se¬ lections a{)proptiate to the ilay.
Tho .singing of Miss Watt was great¬ ly enjoyed by an audient-e that literal¬ ly packed the church to its capacity. She has a pure and po-.verful soprano voice which shows the eifeet of the best training and sings in a simple, un- att'et-ted tnaniKr which adds to the pleasure of the audience.
The proceeds were .satisfactory and the only regret expresetl was that tne building was not better arranged to accommodate the people who came.

Mr. Bonyton. who was in his seventy-sixth year, had a remarkable career while in the ministry. While serving as pastor of the local churdrhe became impressed with ^he idea that a servant of God sfiodld take no salary. He offered to preach the Gospel free for his congre¬ gation. They would not accept it, and he resigned. He soon after built a house on'Main Street, forming the brick of oyster she^s and lime in an oven he built on the premises.

Letter to James W. Cheshire
Freeport. L. 1.
Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons. There are useful and useless gallons. Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with dryer and color; useless paint is whit¬ ing, china clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine, or water.
This stuff is put-in, because it is cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make more gallons to sell; of course, the buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't buy it.
It costs as much to brush-on this useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it loolfs like that and feels like that in the brush; the painter doesn't suspect it. Besides, if the owner is willing,- why should the painter object to paint¬ ing two gallons for one? He is paid by the day; more gallons, more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about one-third this useless stuff; and aver¬ age paint at $1.25 or $1.50 or 11.75 a gallon is two-thirds trssh. Fool paint is the proper name fur all but pure paint; it is made to fool people with. Knave  paint is another good namo;   it
