HIKING TRAILS CALL, AS FA LL SEASON APPROACHES

jVbove Hiking group pauses on stone steps at Turkey Run state park.

With fall just around the corner, the more ambitious of Indiana’s state park visitors are preparing to take the trails, some of them beginning where they left off last spring, when the on-set of ■hot weather put a quietus on their activities, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, reported recently. Some of the hardiest of the hikers have been pursuing their favorite form of exercise throughout the summer, but even they, for the most part, have confined their excursions to early morning and evening. Most of the state park visitors who indulge in hiking during the summer months prefer to accompany a nature guide, who is familiar with the flora and fauna of the area, but there are always a few anti-so-cialistic souls who choose to ramble over the trails alone. Autumn months, bringing with thenTcooler temperatures and the gradual coloring of, the foliage, bring fresh interest to the hiking trails and attract visitors, who apparently are not interested in walking at other seasons of the year. They also take on a new attraction to the seasoned hiker, as failing leaves open new vistas thru the forest, over the hills and along the lakes and streams. Altogether there are 157 miles of trails winding through the Indiana state parks, each of them marked for the guidance of the hiker and leading to one or more of the points of interest, so that the hiker interested in traveling from one state park to another in pursuit of “greener pastures'* would be able to keep on the walk for a long time before running out ■of hiking trails. To enable the visitor to more fully enjoy the trails, the Division of State Parks furnishes a trail map for each park, showing the Touting of each trail, the park drives, location of shelter houses, picnic and camping areas, and other points of special interest. An additional feature is a brief

description of each trail, including a list of the points of interest to be visited and the approximate length of the trail. CUT WEEDS, CORN AT ROAD INTERSECTIONS FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY Tall corn, weeds and other vegetation growing in fence corners at road interesetions should be cut immediately as a safety measure, T. A. Dicus, chairman of the Highway Commission, asserted today in on appeal to owners of farms bordering state highways. Many of the farmers living along the state highways take pride in keeping tall crops out of fence corners at road intersections, giving motorists greater visibility and safety but there are some who disregard the safety of others and allow weeds or crops to blind motorists approaching a road intersection. The highway commission spends thousands of dollars each year, it is pointed out, for “STOP” and ether warning signs at road intersections in an attempt to make the highways safe for all motorists. Apparent disregard of these signs, due in some case to the vision of motorists being obstructed by tall crops or weeds in an adjoining field has resulted in a number of accidents and several fatalities during recent weeks. Cutting weeds in fence copiers at road intersections can be done in a few minutes and the topping of a few hills of corn, will not result in any substantial loss, but this action may result in the saving of a life or the prevention of an accident. The highway commission is actively concerned with the safety of motorists using the state highways in Indiana, through the designing of roads and bridges which are free from hazards, through the marking of these roads for the safety and convenience of the motorist, and through the removal of potential hazards on and along the highways.

Somewhat condensed, they were as follows: “From April to October 1, he will rest at 6 o’clock; the rest of tbe lear not later than 7. Ten will be his hour of going to bed thruont the year. “From breakfast until 9 he is to read law. At 9 he goes, to the office to write and read law until dinner. After dinner he reads law at home until 5. From 5 to 7 he does what he pleases; from 7 to 10 he reads or studies what he pleases. From noon on Saturday he is at liberty to amuse himself. On Sunday he will attend church and may devote the rest of the day to innocent amusements.” Philip Hamilton was described as a youth of great promise, but he did not live many years under the rules prescribed for him. At the age of 17, for resenting disparaging remarks about his father he was challenged to a duel, in which he fell mortally wounded. About three years later, Alixander Hamilton, at the age of 47, was also mortally wounded In his famous duel with Aaron Burr, vice-president of the United States. Burr was thereafter virtually an outcast from society. At close out prices— you may be interested in a dining room set. Wawasee Furo. Co.
