(By the Editor)
If you were in my place and planted a row of carrots, and when they got about big enuf to eat the neighbors' boys on a foraging expedition cleaned out the entire row, and you knew who the boys were, what would you do?
i     The Brooklyn Eagle   Saturday night published  a  picture   suggestion  of  a I wire   fiiebox for burning   papers   and i how to make it,    1 saw one of these at ! Mr. Fulton's store considerable over a i year ago, but as there may be some of i my readers to whom   tbis is new, as it ; was to the   Brooklyn   Eagle  editor, I { will publish their article. I     A firebox for burning   waste matter ; should be in every  yard,   providing no I city ordinance prohibits the burning of I refuse on personal or public   property, i says Popular Mechanics.    The box can be  made   by any   boy.    Procure   two iron hoops  from a barrel and attach to ' them a piece of poultry wire 24 inches wide for depth.    Three stout braces of heavy   wire or straight   pieces of iron can be   interlaced   through   the   wide i meshes   to  support   the   wire  on   the sides.    To attach   the wire at the   top and bottom hoops cut th^ wire and fas¬ ten    the   edges   securely    with   short pieces, using a pairof pincers to square the ends and bend under all projecting points.
While   this is useful   tor its original purpose, it also  ofTers a good   sugges¬ tion for making a pretty flower trellis, ¦ Fill the cent?r with red salvia and sur¬ round with myrtle or ivy.
I'll take off my hat to 'cm—I'll bet we get that ten ton roller yet.
.After all my talk about fire insur¬ ance, I was surprised to find last week, that the fire apparatus belonging to the village is not insured in any amount, and was further advised that the Fire Council had recommended to the Village Board that insurance be taken out and the Board decided it was not necessary. If my memory serves me correctly twice in the last two years fire departments on Long Island have lost part or all of their apparatus by fires which broke out in the build- •ings where the trucks were placed, and got under such headway that nothing could be removed.

No! The Village Board is not apt I to send me notices of special meetings : and when they keep them quiet as they i did the last one I have to take what 11 can get frem the minutes. For that reason I do not know why they decided : to hire a 10-ton roller when they had before stated the 7-ton roller was; heavy enuf. Maybe we do need to spend that $3600 for a road roller after all.
