TAKING CHANCES: — "Tried to pass over the crossing in front of a train," "Tried to pass a car going up a hill," “Tried to pass a car or a line of cars going around a curve." "Tried to cut in between cars to gain a little advantage." In ’other words "tried" to do many foolish things, are some of the inscriptions that might be appropriate on the monument of many reckless and thoughtless motorists. To gain a fewminutes many persons take extraordinary hazards. Why should some people be in such a hurry? They are not in so much haste about other things. They will spend hours in some profitless pursuit and think nothing of it, but once they get into an automobile, they seem to be obscessed with the idea that it means life or death to them to make the distance on a certain schedule, and many times it is death. It would not be so bad if the driver himself were to suffer the consequences but often it is innocent ones in the car, sometimes little children who suffer. On account of the weather there were mor* accidents Sunday over the state than usual. The foolhardy drivers never take into consideration the weather conditions. Time must be made, it matters not what the condition of the highways. The time will come when people will awaken to the idea of more rigid qualifications for driver licenses. There are hundreds of persons nowdriving the highways who never should be in charge of a car. They are irresponsible and a constant menace to othes. They should be weeded out as quickly as possible. Even if they do have the money to pay for their license and contribute to the tax, an idea that the legislature had to tile exclusion of all others, the law should be so drastic as to eliminate as far as possible the known reckless devils who have not regard for their own lives or the lives of others.—Hartford City News. The skids were placed under John D. Williams, state highway director yesterday, the proceedure while somewhat of a joke being evidently .effective nevertheless. Mr. Williams has served in the position seven years this month. He has been diligent, courteous and has made headway. His department has not been perfect but our guess is it has been better than average and perhaps better than will a partisan organization, influenced by various causes. Mr. Williams expects to prove to the people that he is honest and 'hat the charges against him were but a screen. Mr. Brown, who succeeds him, is said to be a very capable man and we sincerely hope he so proves himself tor the job is one of the most important in the state from the taxpayers interest. There should be no delay in secur- • ing the easements on state highway number sixteen between Decatur and the Wells county line. The day that these are turned in by Huntington, Wells and Adams county, the commission will take over the road for maintamence. Many times we feel such announcements a bluff but we assure you this one is not. If these are not secured and soon, most any tiling may happen to the project, the yoiile from here west may be changed or the entire matter delayed. The \

II ■ The contract for the paving of highway sixteen from this city east will be let in June, according to the plans of the commission at present Had there been no delay in securing the easements this would have been done now and the contractor on the Job as soon as the weather would permit. However the road will be built during the next year and that will be a real step forward. Mr. Munroe of this county has netted an average of a hundred dollars per acre from his beets over a period of twelve years. That should be the very best proof of what can be done if this crop is given a fair trial. He will gladly tell you of his experience in this work and we should think it would be to the interest of every farmer who has land suitable to the raising of sugar beets. Wisconsin has repealed her liquor laws but so long as the state is a part of the union its difficult to see hov.that changes things except for the influence of such propaganda in other states. The eighteenth amendment and the Volstead law are national in scope. The farmer who has not been prospering the past few years should add beets to his rotative crops. Many a man has paid off his mortgage with this product and others can do it if they will really get into it and give it a fair trial. Brisbane says that if buying and selling stocks is wrong, and he is referring to the stock exchanges no doubt, it should be stopped and if not the federal reserve should mind their own business. Perhaps thats what they are trying to do. MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q What are the proper hours for afternoon calling? A. From four to six P. M. y.

X XSXXXXXKXXXXXXXXM Upholding the Courts Mr. Editor: As our friend Bogers would say: “I see by the papers" that Rev. E. S. Shumaker has finished his sentence at the penal farm, to which he was committed on a charge of being tn contempt of the supreme court of the state and being found guilty, after he had exhausted every technicality known to the ablest and keenest criminal lawyers. And that now it has been arranged to celebrate his release by and in one of the leading churches of the state and that Rev. Shumaker is to occupy the pulpit. In all the history of the state I recall no more fanatical and censureable procedure than this. If a bootlegger had been found guilty, even technically, of -violating the . law and the opponents of the Eighteenth amendment should propose a like honor as the church is to award Dr. Shumaker, the church adherents and Shumaker's admirers would in sack-cloth if not in ashes bewail the honor accorded him. If it were not so shameful ams i humiliating to common decency it i would be mirth provoking. Such disgraceful proceedings do j much to bring disregard, if not contempt of the law they seek to uphold, i as wel as all laws, for the regulation i of human conduct. I am as dry as punk, but not anoth- i er dollar to be used by an organiza- q tion so notoriously and grossly in- ] temperate and fanatical.

GASOLINE WASTE BILLION YEARLY Harrisburg, Pay, — (UP) — I* wtl * require 17.000,000,000 gallons of gasoline and 400,000.000 gallons of oil to feed the 750 million "horses" tied up in 25.000,000 automobiles in operation in the United States during 1929. This estimate was made by Dr. Gustav Egloff, chief technologist of the Oil Products Company, of Chicago, while attending the Pennsylvania Independent Oil Men's Association here. Egeoff pointed out that the average automobile is only 20 per cent efficient in fuel consumption and that approximately 80 per cent of all its fuel is wasted. Egloff said that the average gasoline of today is far too good for the average car. He said it is up to automotive engineers to design internal combustion motors which will be more economical. With’such motors, Egloff said, more than a billion dollars annually could - — ——— Preble Dealer Displays New Broadcast Receiver Radical Departure in Cabinet Design A new Radiola combination for A-C electric operation which combines distinctive features and cabinet design with low cost, was announced today by the Werling Radio Sales of Freble.
