Merits Citizens Pride
This building which is one which
merits the pride of the citizens Of

Recently a great deal of work has
been done on the interior, and with
the exception of a few details, the
building is nearly completed.

been the finishing and fitting up of
the basement kitchen and dining room.

and chairs. Adjoining it convenient-

genuine army stove of the latest
model, porcelain sink, hot and cold

Calls Attention to
Automobile Laws
Mayor Stensvad Asks Obedience to
Law Covering Rules of
The Road

Owing to the increased automobile
traffic and the danger involved in not
observing the rules of the road, |
feel it my duty to call your attan-
ton to Section Is, of Chapter 365,
laws of 1911 as follows:
Road Rules.-Sec. Is. Whenever
person riding, driving or leading
a horse or other animal, or driving
or operating a motor or other vehicle
on any public highway, shall meet
another person thus riding, driving
or leading horse or other animal
or thus driving or operating motor
or other vehicle, if such persons are
moving in opposite directions, each
shall slacken his pace, if necessary,
and reasonably turn to the right so
as to give half of the travel road, if
practicable, and fair and equal OPP
portunity to pass, to the other; or,
if they are moving in the same di-
rection, the person overtaking shall
pass on the left side of the person
overtaken, and the person overtaken
shall. as soon as profitable, turn
to the right so as to give half of
the travelled road to the other.
The operator of motor-vehicle,
upon meeting or overtaking any
horse, or other draft animal, driven
or in charge of woman, child or
aged person, shall not pass said ami
NAL at a rate of speed greater than
four miles per hour; provided, that
in case said animal exhibits any signs
of fright, the operator shall bring
his machine to a stop, and, upon re-
quest or raising of the hand of the
person in charge of said animal, or
in case said animal continues to ex-
hibit signs of fright, or in case the
person riding, driving or leading said
animal cannot control the same, the
said operator shall stop the motor of
such vehicle, so long as shall be rea-
sonably necessary to prevent damage
to property, or life or limb of such
person or animal.
Any person shall, at the intersec-
ton of public highways, keep to the
right of the intersection of the CEN
tiers of such highways when turning
to the right, and pass to the right
of such intersection when turning to
the left.
In cities or villages, or any place
where traffic is large, or on streets
usually congested with traffic of horse
drawn vehicles or street cars, slom
moving vehicles must keep near the
right curb, allowing those moving
rapidly to keep nearer the center of
the street.
All vehicles, however, must keep
to the right of the center of the
! street.
All Autos and other vehicles should
be stopped with the curb at the right
/ of the driver.
+ The Chief of Police has been in
structed to see that these rules be
observed and we ask your earnest
cooperation to this end.

/ Mayor.

THE LITTLE GREEN TENT.
"The little green tents where
the soldiers sleep and the sun
beams play, and the women
weep, are covered with flowers
to day; between the tents walk
twenty weary few who were
and stalwart in sixty-two when
they went to the war away.
The little green tents are built
OF sod and they are not long
and they are not broad but the
soldiers have lots of room;
and the sod is part of the land
they saved when the flag of
the country darkly waved, the
symbol of dole and doom. The
little green tent is a thing di-
vine, the little green tent is
the country's shrine where pat
riots kneel and pray. And the
brave men left, so old, and so
few, were young and stalwart
IN sixty-two, when they went
to the war away.-Walt Mason.
