FINES
GROW STIFFER.

The high cost of "steppin' on
the gas and otherwise violating
the state traffic laws has increased
more than 400 percent in rne past
year, according to T. A. Raffety,
chief of the state traffic squad.
In his biennial report to Secre-
tary Of state Kozer, Raffety points
out that the average fine imposed
upon traffic law violators which
only 1928 in 1921 had jumped to
1886 in 1922, Showing clearly
the desire Of the courts to cooper
ate" with the traffic officials in
the enforcement Of the rules of the
road.
Several Jail sentences were impos-
ed during the past year but pFaeti-
cally all were suspended, the report
points out. Courts also suspended or
revoked operators licenses in eases
brought before them by local Off
GERS.

AS a nation we have many
blessings for which to be thank

for giving thanks than the people

fair crop has been harvested, but
that is not all; over all the north

has come forth the oil which has
given work to many at good
wages and made many a dry-land

No less than a year ago, the
holwing wolf f hunger, only

kept from the little homestead

While the evening freight

on that bleak and barren coast ct
New England. All during those
cold months hunger and death
stared them in the face. The
savage all night long filled the
woods with his wild yells. And
before springtime reaches them
they had buried half their band.
Undying faith and perseverance
forced them on in the spring.
They cleared the forest, planted
their crops and reaped a. bounte-
Gus harvest. Gov. William Brad

ing patriot. set apart this day OF
