"Eow we know" continued Mr..

no roads that could be called State

CURRENT COMMENT
No Lights on Vehicles.

Several complaints have reached The
Gazette because of the lack of lights on
vehicles, and there is sufficient reason fol
them. The state laws make it compul.
sorry for teams to carry lights while driv'
ing on the road at night, but very
small per cent of them comply with the
law, that is, in this section, at least; and
the owners are placing themselves liable
to a heavy fine for their negligence. Not
alone that, but the liability of accident
in which the owner may be made the
party responsible, might occur. Accidents

maintained their entity throughout their
entire participation in the war. Never.
theless, the 10th division played an i'm.

are entitled to full share of credit fol
