Don't Park Near Fire Hydrants

Some signs have been erected re-
Gently warning against automobile
drivers parking their machines with
in fifteen feet of the fire hydrants.
Regardless of the signs, however,
some motorists persist in ignoring
the warnings and we are told that
unless they pay some heed to these
signs arrests will follow. If you
don't want to be one of the fellows
who is picked up for infringing upon
this protective measure, don't park
within fifteen feet each way from a
fire hydrant.

DR.. and Mrs. G.. +. Smith for the

Mr.. Swift's friends are telling of
an incident which happened to him
on his way up here. He left Warren,
Ohio, Friday evening and figured to
drive for a while and then put up
for the night. After getting started
he decided that he would drive all
night, but about three o'clock, Sat-
urday morning he became sleepy and
started to keep lookout for a good
place to sleep for the balance of the
night. He saw what he took to be a
Grange hall or some similar building
and driving in beside it he pulled the
seat cushions out of the car, laid
down on them and covered himself
up with some blankets which he had
and was soon asleep. He slept just
as good as though he was at home in
his little bed but you can imagine his
surprise and CONSERVATION when he
found that he had driven up along
side of a cemetery tool house and had
been sleeping in the center Of large

You And L

What we need is all of the clear
headed. common-sense, everyday
thinking that we can get. For CEN
turies we have listened to over-wise
philosophers and sensational theo-
rists. We are busy about our own
affairs and we let these men do our
thinking for US. Their ideas were
novel and interesting and as the
chances for ever putting them In et-
feet were remote. we were not great
ly concerned. =, e
But in the last five years a lot Oh
these theories have been put into
practice. and most of them have
proven expensive, inefficient, and
breeders of trouble. The common
sense of the common people-Just
what YOU and | think about things,
Is quite as apt to be right, and VIII
cost us a lot less in taxes to put into
operation. Let us listen to each otn-
er a little more, and little less 10
professional theorists and politicians
