PULL A FEW OF THESE BIRDS

Who Have Evidently Never Heard of the Auto Speed Limit. It might have a salutary effect for the city marshal to remind the drivers of some of the new cars going through here that there is a state law on the statute books of Indiana fixing a limit to the speed cars can be driven on the streets of cities and towns. A fleet of a dozen or more Lexington cars pulled into Rensselaer at 12:30 yesterday afternoon at a speed of not less than 40 miles per hour, and it is the rule for most of these fellows to go through here at a speed of 30 to 40 miles regardless of life, limb or law, God, man or the devil. The school fund should have been increased at least S3OO by those “birds” yesterday.
