Yet such automobile disasters
make little impression. People
read them and continue to drive
carelessly over crossings. utterly
oblivious to danger and without a
thought of caution.
Safety devices can't prevent
crossing accidents. The only sure
preventive is in the drivers head.

A FIGHT OVER
CITY PRIDE

" BILL TO quench the flame
AL of the county seat war
that has long fiared in Jen-
nings County is before the House
today. The Senate acted favor
ably on the measure some days
ago.
For years Vernon and North
Vernon--a mile apart-rival claim
ants for the courthouse, Jail and
hangerson, have fought and lawed.
Vernon now possesses these illus
trious monuments; North Vernon
Graves 'em.
Since 1913 two elections to de-
eide the question have been held
in the county. One election went
against and the other favored re-
moval. Both elections are now be
ing contested in the courts.
To dispessionate observer moth
ing seems more ridiculous than
long drawn-cu' feud over a county
seat. Yet county seat wars began
with the birth OF the States, and
ths results are reflected in the po-
l.tical geography Of today.
1t isn't merely desire to possess
a musty courthouse and ram
shackle offlceholders that causes
these struggles. It's the glorifica-
ton of town pride. That's why
the battles are always so Stub
born.
Town pride is fearful. wonder
full and sensitive thing.
1t may be absurd when heated
to tncandescence over location of
the county seat. but It has changed
the map Of the continent. built
great cities in defiance of logic
and natural obstacles. Because of
its accomplishments one must doff
the hat to IT.

There is nothing the madness from urly frosty frown
Like the lifting lambent music Of The Robins Down in Brown

But there's no scordant noise that dim drown
The mystic magic music of The Robbins Down in Brown
HAVE heard the birds of France and the orioles OF SPAIN
But there to be hazy lazy halt in the refrain
While daybreak in the summer though the rain be pouring
down,
It does not stop the music Of The Robins Down Brown
T Do strive for power and do not long for wealth
only seek share of Gods blessings and good health
And would take kingdom with eweled kingly
