The Rule of the Road.
The rule of the road is keen TO
the right, don't drive at a reck-
less rate,
You may go as you please when
the course is (clear and the
stretch is smooth and straight,
But watch your pace where the
roadway bends and travel the
curves with care,
And be ready to meet the test
should danger stop you there,
As DsssesgssSzaz
There are laws to govern the
speed of men and the manner
they shall go,
And what's right and wrong rs
We drive along, we are all sup
posed to know;
But beyond the law and the
statute books and the power of
the courts to touch.
Are numberless rules which we
might observe which would help
SO very much.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1920-11-25

The law will not stifle our sell
fishness-we must do that for
ourselves.
And there is no word in all of
the books on all of the rnusty
shelves,
Which says that We must be kind
ly folk or courteous or polite
We can drive as road hogs if we
choose and legally be right.
The rule of the road is keep to
the right. but the rule of a
gentleman
Is to give to the neighbor who
would pass as much of the road
as he oan:
And there'd be less need for the
laws in books and a happier
world twould be
If we'd all obey on the roads of
life the rules of courtesy.

Climbing an oak at the cross
roads one day, not far from Far
mer Green's house, Sandy Chip
munk discovered a queer box
nailed to the trunk of the tree.
Much as he wanted to, he could
mt look inside the box, because
its lid was closed. And since Sam
dy was afnaid the box might be
some sort of trap, he didn't dare
go near it and poke at the lid.
Later that day Sandy told
F'risky Squirrel about the strange
box. And Frisky told Fatty Coon.
And Fatty Coon told somebody
else.
So the news travelled, until at
last it reached the snarp ears of
old Mr.. Grow.
BY the time Mr.. Grow heard the
story it had grown amazingly. And
it went something like this: Far
mer Green had bought a new trap
in the village. And he had nailed
it on n tree to catch all sorts of
animals and birds. And after he
had caught all the forest folk in
Pleasant Valley he intended to
take the trap to Swift river and
set it for fish and ellis and turtles.
When Mr.. Grow heard the news
he haw-hawed loudly.
