State school authorities have sent out a warning against the , practice of some persons driving automobiles and other motor ve-’l hides in passing school hacks > while they are taking on or dis- i charging school children. It is unlawful to pass a school hack |< while the same is being loaded ( or unloaded. The purpose of the i ' law is to prevent accidents. I A bulletin sent out by E. E. 11 Ramsey, state inspector, clears i up the controversy regarding ’ proper licensing of motor vehi- < cles used in transporting school children. All motor vehicles used . in transporting school children, 1 whether publicly or privately 1 owned, must have the regular/ state automobile license up top January 1, 1924. Thereafter I busses dr traitor vehicles owned i by the township or school cor 1 poration will be exempt from!’ registration. However, the secre- i tary of state desires that all such p vehicles carry license plates and < will issue a free license on II receipt of application made out in the name of the township and signed ami sworn to by the town- • ship trustee. Privately owned I busses used in transporting school children under contract, will be required to pay for license in usual way AH chauffeurs, whether they 1 are driving publically or privately owned motor vehicles used in transporting school children, must have state licenses, if such driver is not the owner of the car. COTTAGE THREATENED The cottage of Mr. and Mrs \V. W. Forbes of Goshen, at Kale Island. Lake Wawasee, narrowly escaped severe damage by fire on Sunday afternoon, by a defective Chimney, After smelling smoke for some time and not being able to discover the source, Mr. Forbes tore off the ceiling along the fire place and the wood burst into flaws - The fire was easily extinguished. - ..... .ww .

Newspaper Association Member, Number 1309 ROAD BUILDING The bigger the body, the slower he movement. The greater the rpvcment must be. the longer it ;akes to get underway. The United States is a large body, almost entirely surrounded by good motor cars and poor oads. It is moving slowly, but surely towards a condition when ( t will have only good roads. The novement is slow because the ■xxiv is so large, and has so many heads.... 110.(MK).lMM) of them. Improving our almost three million miles of highways is a huge task. The movement is! mormous. Therefore, it takes time to get under way. It is like a monster freight train, starting, up a grade, requiring many locomotives to'begin the travel and', slowly getting up speed. But < once the train is in nation, it has an enormous force for going;, ahead; one locomotive can keep < it moving and it is difficult to.’ Stop’ So will it be with our road building program; slowly but surely the (movement for better < rords than Federal aid can give, t for more roads than States alone can build, is gathering momen- I turn. -When it gets up speed. ,• nothing can stop it. ' Meanwhile the individual who ( needs a good road and needs it < now, ibust not lose coinage. It was said the Panama ('anal couldn’t be built in a generation. 1 It was built in a few short years | At the rate we are at present building Federal aid roads it will take some hundred and fifty or , two hundred years to improve , our road system. All of us will ■ be very de id before that move-; ment is well started. The answer,, is to change the movement, to < work for. educate for, vote for. i national highways, built by and , maintained by the National Government; give this Nation two), hundred thousand miles of such j roads (which with ease be built ’ in a period of five year), and thi , rest of the roads will be inmrov |, 'd in even less time, by States counties, and towns, which will, refuse to be kept from the bene fits of such a national road sys ‘enr«, when all that they need tc | do to enjoy it. is to connect with it. o TWO-EGGS- VII \Y HEN H ns that will lay one egg and I possibly two each day can be . bred, experts at the West \ir ! ginia University believe.

No wheat can cross the border without paying a duty of 30 cents per bushel. They are beginning to understand that the price of wheat is fixed in Liverpool — just as is the price of cotton, wool and oil. The price of American surplus nroduce is regulated by the surplus that is shipped to foreign ports. That is the simple fact of the case—and it might better be squarely faced now than later on. i o WILL APPEAR IN SWEATERS When Wittenberg college dedi- | - ates her 100.000 stadium at Springfield.
