Rules of the Road

Adopted by the the Farmers Anti
Automobile Society.
!. Upon discovering an approaching
team, the automobilist must stop off
side and cover his machine with a blan-
ket painted to correspond to the seen
cry.
.. The speed limit on country roads
this year will be a secret, and the pen
atty for violation will be SO. for every
mile an offender is caught going in eX-
cess of it.
3. In case an automobile makes a
team run away. the penalty will be $50
for the first mile. 500. for the second
$500 for the third, ect., that the team
runs; in addition to the usual dam
ages.
4. Automobiles must again be sea
sonably painted, that is, so they will
merge with the pastoral ensemble and
not be- startling. They must be green
in spring, golden in summer, red IN au-
tumn, and white in winter.
;. Automobiles running on the
country roads at night must send up a
red rocket every mile, and wait ten
minutes for the road to clear. They
may then proceed carefully; blowing
their horns and shooting Roman cand
les.
6. AIlmembcrs of the society will
give up Sundays co chasing automobiles
/ shooting and shouting at them, making
! arrests and otherwise dlscouraging
country touring or that day
Z. In case a horse will not pass an
automobile, the automobilist will take
the machine apart as rapidly as posi-
/ Bile and conceal the parts in the
grass.
s. In case an automobile approaches
a farmers house when the roads ar,
dusty. it will slow down to one mile
an hour and the chauffeur will lay the
dust in fornt of the house with a hand
