THE INTERSTATE PARK

They are pretty strict about peoples
conduct up in the Interstate Park ac-
cording to the papers. When you go
on picnic now, especially IL you
have an auto or a canoe, you are liable
to end up in the penitentiary. Let
that serve as a hint and never use
your car for a days outing unless
you have from 30 days to year of
you may need that much time. The
park is a terrible place to get pinched
because they do not have the modern
convenience of a police patrol even
and you have to drive to the court
house on your own gas-like digging
your own grave, you know. For the
protection of those individuals who
insist on "enjoying" a day in the park
we issue the following don'ts which
il observed will keep you out Of
trouble-for an hour or so anyway:
Don't walk too close to the ground.
Don't speak to passersby-they may
be policemen.
Don't attempt to help anyone in
trouble---you may be interfering with
an officer.
Don't get drunk--you may be ar
rested for impersonating an officer.
Don't throw paper boxes away-in
fact don't throw anything away,
there may be another war and you
can sell it to the government.
Don't pick up anythingTespecially
cigar butts and women.
Don't argue with a cop-if he says
you are under arrest believe it, he
knows best.
Don't give your right name-if they
ask for your full name give that, but
not your sober name.
Don't try to have an enjoyable day
no good can come of It.
Don't be particular about what cell
you are to occupy.

quoted an instance in Coytesville

with a blackjack. He said he felt
that if any weapon was to be used
it should be the regular policeman's
stick. Captain Aikens, the chief of
police, explained that this, man had
resisted arrest and had attempted to
hit the officer over the head with a
bottle of wine and that was the Incl
dent that necessitated the use Of the
blackjack.
Other matters of minor importance
