Residents and fire patrolmen alike fought to prevent spread of the flames which threatened to destroy thousands of acres of forestland in Forest Oconto, and Bayfield counties. At least four cities, Cheat, Lakewood, Laona, and Crandon, were imperilled, and,one of these, Laona, entirely surrounded by timberland, faced the danger of being destroyed entirely. Seven fires were reported in Forest county alone. Extremely dry weather which has made the timberlands ready fuel, has added to the menace, according to R. E. Percy, fire warden at Superior. o OIL WELL SHOT The oil well on the Sam Egley farm in Jefferson township, 7 miles east of Berne, was shot Monday at 3 o'clock.

They came to the world’s largest manufacturers of special cleaning products with tlieit problem — and Wyandot was the result.
