Lupton, president of the Hoosier State Auto Association is urging each autoist to make such resolutions as will better traffic and lessen the dangers of driving. The association has done much towards this accomplishment but needs the cooperation of every driver. He suggests that you resolve: To drive casefully. To obey the speed laws. To keep to the right—never to “hog” more than my share of the road. To pass to the left (always) when overtaking another vehicle going in the same direction. Never to pass (overtake I another vehicle while at a street intersection or on a curve. Never to leave my car standing in a position that will obstruct the highway. To keep to the right of the center of a street or road intersection when turning to the left making a square turn and never cutting sharp to the left. To keep to the right of the center of a street intersection when turning to the right. When reaching an intersection at the same time as another vehicle, to give the vehicle coming from my right the right of way. Never to try to beat a train, a trolley car or “the other fellow” to a crossing. To have my car under complete control when driving in the vicinity of children at play, or in the neighborhood of school or play grounds. i'o inspect my brakes frequently and to keep them adjusted. To inspect my headlights by the process of leaving my car on a level . ..... DANCE Moose Hall Friday Evening, Dec. 29th €:3O o'clock 50c per couple. Music by FEATURE FIVE Everybody Welcome.

road, walking away 500 or 800 feet and looking back at them to see it they present a dazzling light—«Bd If they do to have them adjusted ao the light will comply with the Indiana regulations. To equip my car with a mirror so that 1 may see truffle in the rear, and never to turn or atop without first glancing into that mirror. To keep my windshield clean and 1 to put on some kind of a speegee that will give me vision in case of rain or snow. Never to drive with only one front light burning if 1 can possibly avoid It. Never to drive my car after having violated the Volstead act—no matter how slightlyTo use arm signals to show my Intention of stopping or turning—left arm straight up for right turn, left arm straight outward for left turn and left arm waved up and down for stop. In case lam driving an enclosed ear I pledge myself always to put my right arm so the driver in the rear may see 4t and know I am intending to slow or turn —this in case I can not readily open the window. To drive cautiously at all "blind" intersections In city or country and to observe the rule that it I can not see what's around the corner to take no chances. * Nearly two years ago the city council adopted an ordinance providing for gates at the railroad crossings in the city some of which are very dangerous. The Pennsylvania has erected two of these gates, but the other railroads have not made any effort to comply with the ordinance. Two or three near accidents are reported over Christmas and we believe the matter should be urged. Why wait until lives are lost before making the improvement. With the increased traffic it Is important that the dangerous crossings be guarded and the safe way to do it is by gates- We hope the council and city officials will give notice at once. The state highway between Decatur and Fort Wayne is rough in spots and doesn't seem to be just what it should be for an expenditure of $1,500 per mile. With the legislature just about to open and the future of the highway commission in the balance it would seem that the superintendents or whatever they call the bosses would be making an extra effort to have the roads in good condition. Tile Indiana legislature will convene next week and for sixty days you will be entertained with the presentation of freak bills, a few good ones and the attempt to repeal some |of the bad laws now on our books. I We have made special arrangements ■to furnish you the legislative news the day it happens. Santa has come and gone and we have the memories of happy hours with relatives and the kiddies and a hundred greetings from our neighbors and we believe that almost every family in the community had a happy and merry day, the surest sign of a | just right citizenship. Dig up the New Year’s day resolu > tion and be sure to remind yourself of the duty you owe your community, i The year 1923 should be one of the biggest in all time and you can help make it. Congress has voted down the free i seed appropriation and many are ; wondering now’ just what some of ' the congressmen will do to make a ‘showing. Chances are they will slip . it back in some where down the line. The snow just clung long enough to give Santa and his reindeers a I chance to arrive. It was a bright Christmas day and the w-eather about I perfect, all things considered. IT MUST BE DRY Indianapolis, Dec. 28.—New Year’s ' eve, which comes on Sunday this , year, may be hilarious as usual but it must be dry, Mayor Shank said 1 today. “So far as I’m concerned tbe celebrators can dance, but we're going to make the usual effort to prejvent drinking.” ‘CARD OF THANKS — We take this method of thanking our friends and neighbors for tbe kindness and help shown us during the burning of our home." MR. and MRS. WM. A. CARTER AND FAMILY.

Ration Os 4-2-1 Is The * J Best For Dairy Cows I (By County Agent) With Ihe coming of winter the dairy farmer is interested in knowing what ration will be the best for him to feed, considering its ablity to keep up a good milk flow and also be woiiomical, Tlie 4-2-1 grain ration which has been recommended by Purdue for some time is proving successful among dairymen and accordingly is gaining in popularity each year. It has been found that the common tendency is for the dairy man to neglect the protein part of the ration just the same as the iiog feeder or poultry feeder neglects the milk, tankage or other protein part of the rations. The 4-2-1 grain ration is designed to furnish the protein part of the ration in such a manner as to be economical and still to give the maximum milk flow. It is found that when 4 pounds ground corn, 2 pounds ground oats and 1 pound linseed or oil meal Is mixed together in those amounts or the same proportions, the resulting mixtures causes the fat producing and protein producing feds to be given in the pro per proportion as to get the maximum benefit from the feeds. When corn and oats alone are made the sole grain ration there is an excess of fats producing food and no provision is made for the protein in the milk, which makes up 30 per cent of the solids in milk. When silage is sets it is usually inadvisable to feed linseed meal, due to its laxative properties, and cotton seed meal should be used. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and the meal used should agree with conditions. As a general rule, it is advisable to feed about 1 pound of this mixture for each 3 pounds of milk produced by Jerseys or Guernseys and 1 pound for each 4 ’ pounds milk produced by Holsteins. It is usually found that about 1 1 pound of legume hay and 3 parts corn silage is needed for each 100 pounds live weight. In case legume hay, as clover or alfalfa is not available, the amount of oats and cottonseed or oil ’ meal should be increased. f Billy Sunday Refuses A t Big Offer From Theater ii f Indianapolis, Dec. 21 —Rev.
