Too Mana Hit-and-Ru11nerS

HARDLY day passes without the
i l headline: Police Seek Hit-and-Run
Driver Recently the headlines have
been getting entirely too frequent. And
we have yet to hear of hit-and-run
driver going to the penitentiary for few
years.
II you are motorist: Stop when you
have an accident; give the details to the
police; do everything you can for the in
jured person, regardless of whether it
was your fault or not. Remember. flight
is presumptive evidence of guilt,
If you are pedestrian: Do your share
of making the streets safe for humanity.
Don't jaywalk. Obey the lights at inter-
sections downtown, whether other people
do or not. Look before you cross a
street.
If we can't arrange to send few hit
and-run drivers to Jail, where they be-
long, at least we can make the streets
safer by paying attention to the rules.

IfH Be on "EUener"

WASHINGTON is curious state, in
wv some respects. Rather, as The Star
pointed out in a front-page editorial last
week, it is two states in one.
East side and west side are like two
horses in teaul-but they don't pull to-
gether. The biggest reason they don't
pull together is that, for several months
each year they are virtually cut off from
each other, lacking a highway for motor
traffic.
When farmer gets two horses, one
stronger than the other. and wants them
to pull together, he uses an "eyener."
The team trots off in step.
That proposed trans-Cascade highway
will be an evener for the state.
The state can never get anywhere as
long as it is two states, each msunder-
standing the other, with little in common.
An all-year highway won't bring the
millennium two days after it's opened.
But it'll help whole lot.

Safer and Saner.!

IITE'RE proud of our sane Fourth of
wv July movement. Especially proud
in Seattle. where, this year, not life
was taken as the toll of fireworks. But,
according to report just completed by
statistics gathering organization Ill
persons thruout the country were killed
on that day.
Safe and sane as we try to make it;
strive tho we do to turn the nation from
the needless killing and manning, the
report shows that we must work still
harder.
For in at least III homes the last
Fourth of July was anything but safe
and sane.

most profitable crops will bring in less
money this season than for long time
Any way to ensure a good crop year

Conservation of the salmon, by COM
bined action of Western states and

tasks before the West coast. Canada
stands ready and willing to cooperate;
so does Seattle.
That's half the battle. Let's so.

SILL BROTHERS

LARAMIE FIRM

Peter Sill. representing the Sill
Brothers Bakery in this city, on
Tuesday of this week completed a
deal with the Superior Bakery in
Laramie whereby the building and
business of that firm will be taken
over by the Rawlins men and the
plans are to take possession of the
new bakery in 80 days. The pur-
chase was made by Peter Sill with
the Albany County National Bank
acting as sales agent.
The Laramie bakery is located in
a very desirable position in that city
and it is believed that Blue Ribbon
bread will prove as popular in Lar
annie as II has in Rawlins. 1t is prob
able that Peter Sill will take charge
of the new bakery while George Sill
will take active charge of the local
one
Sill Brothers are to be c%ongratu-
lated ON the success they have made
In this city in their short time OF
residence here and the friends of Mr..
Sill regret his leaving Rawlins, how
the closeness of the two cities
will enable him to visit here from
time to time. Mrs. Sill and children
will remain in Rawlins.
