Who Has Right of Way at Street or
Read intersections?

Who has the right of way when
two autos are approaching street
intersection or an intersection on
country road?
That is question which causes
much discussion among drivers OF
autos. The Iowa law oil this subject
is as follows:
"Where two vehicles are. ap-
preaching on any public street or
highway so that their paths Will in
tersect and there is danger OF col
lision, the vehicle approaching the
other from the right shall have the
right of way" !.
driving south on Main street and
another car is coming from the west
on Commercial street, and both ara
to use the intersection at the opera
house corner, the car coming from
the west shall have the right OF way
over the car going south. II how
ever there is car going south on
Main street and another car coming
from the east on Commercial street,
then the car going south shall have
the right of way over the car com
ing from the east In other words,
a driver should always remember
that if car is approaching from the
right at an intersection this car mas
the right of way over his car. but II
the car is approaching from the LETT,
then the driver of the car going
south has the right Of way at the
intersection.

Praises Farquhar's Advertising.

The Hardware Age, of New York
City, the leading hardware trade
magazine in America, in it's issue OF
May 18th, reprOduces one of Far
quhar & Sons hardware advertise
ments, which was recently printed
in The Reporter, and comments on
it as follows in their advertising de-
partment:
Take a look at the Farquhar &
Sons ad and you'll see just what we
mean by a bang-up combination ad:
A combination ad hits the reader
from a dozen different angles. He
can't pass it up so easily as he can
the one item ad, for if the adman
uses average judgment in selecting
the items, he is bound to gain the
attention OF every 100 readers.
The copy in the Farquhar ad was
written by EN-. Farquhar and first
reading will convince you that Mr.
Farquhar knows hardware and can
write about it in an interesting way
One of the surprising items in the
Farquhar ad is the wool twine Of
fering; "All you want at last years
prices" Surely, many readers will
put cross in front of that item.
We call attention to pricing in
his ad. Wherever prices can be
quoted, they are. Quote prices in
all your ads. An ad without prices
may be perfectly plain to you but
as far as the reader Is concerned, 1t
is enVelOped In a heavy fog
