for st. Thomas to hold him. as he
felt sure he would soon by his good
work attract the attention OF other
churches.
Mr.. Jones is described as a man

PEDESTRIANSON
LEFT OF ROADS
CONTINUED from first page)

NttAAANH'A AARAA NA'N Rertf
1 have noticed few persons using
the left side OF the highway, meeting
the traffic, and have inquired OF
them their reasons. and they have
uniformly stated that. in their judg
ment, It was safer for the pedes-
trian, and their reasons for SO think
ing have been based on keen obser-
walton and common sense.
have spoken to a large number
OF pedestrians who use the right side
OF the highway and they have uni
formly stated that in their judgment
the left side was the safer side for
pedestrians to use, but that they
were of the opinion that the law
obliged them to walk on the right
side of the road. In this view OF
the law, these pedestrians we're mis-
taken.
There is a rule OF the road for
vehicular traffic, but there is none
for pedestrians, they being obliged
only to use that reasonable care such
as men of common sense and judg-
ment are expected to use under like
circumstances. They are, there
fore, permitted TO use either side OF
the road using reasonable care for
their safety in such use.
In the light OF the above. am in
clined to propose that the Depart
ment announce its desire that all
pedestrians on the State Highway
use the left side OF the road and
meet traffic, and have our traffic po-
lice suggest this habit to all such
pedestrians.
VIII you please secure the judg-
ment of our traffic policemen and
any others whose judgment would be
considered sound and bring in your
recommendation upon this question
at the next meeting of the State
Highway Department.
Very truly yours.

FARM LOAN BONDS
KEPT STEADY PRICE

In connection with the recent
announcement by the Farm Loan
Board that a new issue OF Federal
Land Bank bonds with a more
liberal redemption clause is con-
templated, it was pointed out today
by a banker that Federal Land
Bank bonds OF the several issues all
ready outstanding maintained a re-
markably steady price when general ;
market conditions are considered M
face Of the long-pending suit before
the United States Supreme Court to-
determine the constitutionality of
the Congressional act establishing
the banks.
The banker quoted said that this
indicated clearly the general conf
dence Of the public, and the national \
group of representative bankers
which sponsored the loans in plac-
ing them with the public. as to the
outcome of the suit and the stability
Of the system.
Now, that the Courts aecision hns
clearly upheld both fhe right of
Congress to establish the system,
and the right OF exemption from
taxation, the Farm Loan Board
points out that these bonds promise
to become even more popular with
the investing public.
The Federal Land Banks, which
are the banks in which the United
States Government holds stock.
have shown steadily increasing cap
ital and surplus account and the
bonds of the banks offer an oppor-
tunity to the investor to place mis-
money in a security Of unquestioned
worth, to net the relatively high
return which present market con-
ditions require.
