KKEP OUT OF TIIE RUTS
Some of our local merchants are ru¬ ining their good roads by driving in the rut, Iiaving made tbese ruts sev¬ eral inches deep on soiiie of lhi- ^'ond Peekskill gravel roads.
It is these people more tbnn any othei.s who leally ni'ed the good road.s, and yet I am tuld that in several in¬ stances tbe worst transgressors ure the out-of-lown milk wagons and other delivery wagons of various kinds. It does seem strange that these people, paying no share of our taxes, and standing no part of the exuense of the roads, could not be persuaded to use a little common decency for the benefit of the village at large and for their own personal advantage.

Wedneiday within six houra Roose¬ velt had two firea of practically the same nature, both starting frofn un¬ known causes and the occupants being forced to make their escape from sec¬ ond story windows. The writer was in both of these houses a few hours af¬ terward, und as the Roosevelt flremen are probably like all others, the re¬ cipients of more knocks than boosts, wants to congratulate them on their splervdid work apparent in both in¬ stances. At each place the fire had destroyed nearly all the furniture, yet tv look at them from the outside one would hardly believe they had been on fire. Roosevelt is another village that has a big asset in its volunteer flre de¬ partment.
