Just a little Of your spare time:
There is no reason why you should

pep, see your friends, get them in
terested in you, and ask them to use
their influence to help you win one
of these valuable prizes.
In doing so you will be helping q

is liberal in its columns; it prints
all of the church news and all other
news that's of interest to the race.

ment for your boys and girls.
The responsibility of helping to
build up worthy enterprises rests
upon the citizenship of every city
and State in the Union. The only
hopes of accomplishing this is by
cooperation, broad-minded leader
ship. We must lay down petty jeal'
ousies, personal feelings, and real
ize that q worthy cause IS greater
and more beneficial to the comrrun-
ity than individual feelings. Jeal-
ousy has been the cause of many
worthy men going down to defeat
and destroying worthy enterprises.
Let us stop fighting one another
because every nationality of the
world is fighting us and yet we are
still fighting one another. How can
We hope to reach the height of our
ambition until we lay down these
little petty jealousies and work
together with one great aim for the
future development of our Negro
enterprises.
To my mind this is the only So
luton that will solve our many
problems that confront our group.
for we must have more confidence
in one another and have more
more brotherly love and respect

is Love thy neighbor as thyself. 4"

During her ffetime she saw that

death, l am sorry to say, the Old
Folks have had no one to take them
out for recreation.

opportunity to go somewhere before

from international Falls to the Sit.
Louis county line, was placed under
contract for grading in 1926. A
late spring made it impossible to
start work until about June1, and
continued rains hampered the work
all last summer. One of the con-
tractors was unable to finish Gnis
project and this job has been un-
dertaken this year by the bonding
company. This spring again heavy
rains have delayed the work and
have kept the road impossible.
There is no road which can be
used as a detour, so the State
Highway department opened ne
gotiations with the Duluth, Winni-
peg & Pacific railroad. This re-
suited in an offer to carry automo-
biles between Ray and Rainier at

if there is enough traffic, more

Obey Parking Law;
Prevent Accidents
New State Code Prohibits Stopping
Near Corners Where View1s
Distracted

Improper parking has been the
cause of innumerable minor acct
dents and some serious ones, in
Sank Centre and elsewhere. But if
motorists will obey the parking
rules in the new Minnesota traffic
law, these accidents will be reduced
to minimum. The new rules, as
outlined in bulletin from the
State Highway department, make
it unlawful:
To leave amy vehicle standing,
whether attended or not, upon the
paved or improved or main travel
ed portion of any highway, out
side a municipality, when it is
practicable to park it off the paved
or main travelled portion of the
road.
To leave it lat any time or place
upon any highway unless a clear
and unobstructed width Of not less
than fifteen feet upon the main
Travelled portion of said highway is
left free for passage of other
vehicles.
To leave vehicle upon high
way at place where clear view
cannot be obtained from distance
of 200 feet in either direction.
To park within fifteen feet of
a private driveway, a hydrant or
fire station, or to park within TWEEN
ty-five feet of curb lines or if
none, then within fifteen feet of
the intersection of property lines.
To bring a vehicle to stop on
the left side of highway, except
a one way street.
To leave a motor vehicle unat-
tended without setting the brakes,
or to leave motor vehicle on a
grade without turning the front
wheels to the curb.
These parking rules, except
where noted, apply both to auto
mobile and horsedrawn vehicles.
Like all other. provisions of the
new traffic code, they apply to
"any public thoroughfare," unless
there is "a specific exception. The
rule against stopping on the main
travelled portion of the highway
does not apply when a vehicle is
disabled so that it is impossible to
avoid stopping and temporarily
leaving it on the road.
Regulation of parking within
cities and villages is left to the
authorities, but parking
on trunk highways within the city
or village limits must not encroach
upon the portion maintained by the
state, except by permission of the
highway commissioner.
When a peace officer finds a We
hicle wrongly parked, he can
move it, or order the driver to
move it.
1t may be we'll for motorists to
remember that if your machine is
properly parked, and is struck by
machine, you have a good
claim for damages. But if your
machine is hit while it is parked in
an illegal manner, you not only
have no claim for damages, but the
owner of the other machine may
have valid claim against you.
