STAY OFF GRAVEL ROADS WITH HEAVY LOADS.

* During any period when the ground Is thawing out, the law establishes a maximum rate that may be hauled. It Is the duty of every farmer to keep within the law. Narrow tired wagons cannot haul greater loads than 1500 pounds, Including the weight of wagon. Broad tired wagons and loads must not weigh more than 2000 pounds. A penalty of |5 is assessed for a violation. It costs lots of money to build gravel and stone roads and keep them in repairs. Keep off with heavy loads and’ avoid prosecution. , . , A.
