$3l7.70, with interest, should have
been paid that when such sum had
been paid in full the lessee might

Right Of Way at Intersections
Where a city ordinance gave We
hicles using north and south streets
the right of way over those using
east and west streets, and a motor
cyclist on a street running east and
west, approaching its intersection
with a north and south street, saw
that an automobile was approach
ing the intersection in the middle
OF the latter street in violation OF
the city's ordinance requiring We
hicles to keep as close to the right
hand curb as possible, and the mo-
torcyclist attempted to squirt ahead
OF the automobile but saw he
would fail, and attempted to turn
his motorcycle to avoid 4 collision,

Care for Others in Using High
way.-The driver of an automobile
or other person using the highway
must exercise ordinary care to
avoid the inhiction OF damages or
injury to the person or property OF

Distance From Curb Required
A city ordinance, requiring vehicles
to keep as near the right-hand curb
of the street as possible, did not re-
quire the driver to hug the right
hand curb, but an automobile driv-
er, who was not as near the curb
as was reasonably possible when he
collided with a motorcycle, the fact
having caused or contributed to the
collision, was guilty OF negligence,
and liable to the rider of the motor
cycle.-l57 p. (Wash) 942.

driver of an automobile could rot
have avoided colliding with and

elements of duty under the last

A FEW PLAIN WORDS

Now that the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign has been finished in Ohio
county il is timely 10 do little plain
talking.
First-It is proper 70 say that the
Fifth Liberty Loan campaign, II there
IS one, and there Will BE- one almost
surely. will not be conducted in e1art-
" the same manner as the four pre-
yious campaigns. In those campaigns,
as rule. solicitors have appealed TO
patriotism. and good citizenship. and
have accepted, sometimes almost as a
favor. the subscriptions that have
been given them. Fortunately. these
have been enough in volume. The
demands upon the community have
been met
Second-There is going TO be = re-
adjustment. 80 To speak. among our
citizens Of Liberty Loan burdens. The
theory that subscriptions 20 Liberty
Loans is simply a matter Of choiC" by
individuals is about worn out Sub
scriptions to loans in proportion TO
financial ability is every mans duty.
and the man who does not willingly do
his duty is not going 20 be handled
with kid gloyes hereafter.

OF INDEPENDENCE

The proclamation OF independence

that the separatest movement in the
Austrian empire has gone far. News
that trickles out of Austria cannot be
accepted as reliable, but. apparently,
the Czechs have organized 2 govern
ment. and have seized Prague. the
capital city OF Bohemia. This may be
the beginning of the end Of Austria.
hungary has already shown disposi-
ton to break away from German lead
ershi ? and the Sars Of South Austria
have been in almost open revolt.
The entente allies. and the United
States. are committed to the recogni-
ton OF the independence Of the Czechs
and the Austrian Slavs. as we'll as the
creation of new Polish State. The
erection OF these new states will be
done almost entirely at the expense
of the Austrian empire. They will
take away nearly half OF lis popula-
ton. and practically al Of its eastern
territories.
