The Law of the Road

An important act relating to the law
of the road was enacted at the last
session of the legislature, which reads
as follows:
Section /. A person driving OF
riding a horse or other draft animal
or operating an automobile or motor
vehicle who meets on a public high.
way person riding or driving a horse
or other draft animal, or a person
operating an automobile or motor We
hicle shall, when it is safe and prac-
ticable so to do, seasonably turn such
horse, other draft animal or vehicle
to the right of the center of the tray
eled part of such highway so as to
pass without interference. A person
driving or riding a horse or other
draft animal or operating an automo-
bile or motor vehicle shall, on over
taking a horse, draft animal or We
hicle when it is safe and practicable
so to do, pass on the left side thereof,
and the person riding or driving a
horse or draft animal or operating an
automobile OF motor vehicle overtaken
by a person riding or driving a horse or
other draft animal. or operating an
automobile or motor vehicle shall,
when it is safe and practicable SO 10
do, turn to the right so as to allow
free passage Gil the left. A person
ridiug or driving q horse or other
draft animal, or operating an automo-
bile nr motor vehicle shall, at the in
tsrsectiUn of public highways, when
safe and practicable so to do, keep
to the right of the intersection Of the
centers OF such highway when turn.

puts aside the value of trees as moist
ure retainers, one is forced TO admit
their value as soil retainers. The tree
grows under the ground as much as

areas, TO prevent the sliding away of

/ ing Of its terms. With the increds-
ing power AZ Il speed Of motor cars
there is a temptation to run at a high
rate of speed up hill and down, around
curves and over bridges and too Of
ten the limit of safety is passed and
the machine is not under perfect con-
troll. There are just enough reckless
motorists to create more or less of a
prejudice against all automobile own
ers.
Under the new law il will not he
possible, legally, for a person driving
horse over a narrow road to hold
up an automobile by refusing to turn
out and permit the machine to pass
where such passing may be done with
safety. With the increase of automo.
biles horses are becoming accustomed
to them and there is less friction be-
tween the drivers of horses and motor
vehicles.
AS the automobile Is a comparative
l. new vehicle, and is used more ior
pleasure than for business on country
roads, 7 is incumbent upon operators
to be prudent and tac;ful, seeking TO
avoid giving offense. Realizing tEat
the automobile has come to stay and
that the numbers used will increase
as the years pass, the drivers Of hor-
ses should avoid giving cause for any
i'll feeling Both classes must live to-
gether and do business with each 9TH
er, and the friction and bad temper
caused by the less considerable elem
ent on both sides ought to be forgot
ten.
1t should be remembered in connec-
ton with this general subject that
towns are directed by law to erect and
maintain guide posts, also guards and
ratings in dangerous places on the
highways These provisions are of
benefit TO all who use the roads. In
the automobile law the term registra-
ton applies to the vehicle and the
term license to the operator, so that
the registration of an automobile does
not give to the owner the right to OPP
crate the machine upon a highway.
1t is important that all persons
know the law of the road and knowing
it that they should observe the same.

field, little further each time, even
as each little wave sends the incoming
tide few inches nearer the high wat
er mark. The state forestry depart
ment recognizes the truth of this; the
farmer keeps on with his policy of let
alone. Still that same farmer would
count land under water as useless.
What might be producing soil, now
under or going under sand through
neglect, is just as useless.
Trees have other uses than to. give
shade and make heat; they may be
