FILLING YOUR ATTIC WITH
LOADS OF USELESS LUMBER

There are a good many people just
now exhibiting an undue amount OF
pride because they can shine at So
cial gathering whenever the hostess
brings out a book of questions and
starts the popular game of quizz. A
pencil and paper in hand, they enjoy
facing that formidable volume OF
thirty sets of general quizzes and a
few special quizzes. Fifty questions
in a set cannot appall them in the
least and when scores are being count
ed they smile complacently, for they
are as sure of their percentage OF
correct answers as teachers pet"
when handing in his examination pa
pers. The man or woman who can
score 80 in quizz game always smiles
complacently when the less success

My friend, Marmy Meadows, is one
of those people who is always trying
to be funny. Also he is often so
funny as to be trying.
"How are you old man." l asked,
meeting him on the street the other
day.
"What do you mean How am /?
he demanded loftily. "I'm not here
"Not all here, you mean," l replied,
with gentle sarcasm.
He smiled in a superior way
"I'm not here at all. I'll bet you
a pound on it if you like"
"Done." l said you're not here.
Very well!"
We adjourned to a nearby hostelry,
obtained refreshments, and placed a
pound-note apiece on the table.
'Now," said Marmy, 'T'm going to
ask you three questions before l

"Quite," | nodded.

new CROSSINGS
RULES EXPLAINED
QUESTION OF RIGHTS AT
CROSSINGS, TURNS, SETTLED
pedestrians RECOGNIZED
IN LAW.

The question as to the right OF
way, which has led to many disputes,
accidents and law suits, is clearly
defined in the new Minnesota high
way traffic code. The provisions IN
the new law are in accord with court
decisions and results of practical ex-
perience. If observed by motorists
in Redwood Falls and elsewhere, it
should greatly reduce the number OF
accidents resulting from arguments
over the right of way. Here are the
provisions of the new law on this
question::
When two vehicles approach an
intersection at about the same time,
the vehicle on the right shall have
the right of way, but a vehicle
travelling at an unlawful speed shall
forfeit any right it may otherwise
have. This section applies to both
motor vehicles and street cars.
The driver of a vehicle or street
car approaching but not having en-
tered an intersection, shall yield the
right of way to vehicle or street
car within the intersection making
left turn across the path of travel
street car, provided the driver OF the
vehicle has given plain signal OF
his intention of turning.
Drivers of all vehicles shall yield
the right of way to pedestrians al
regular crossings in the business anc
residence portions of any NUM-
cipality. Pedestrians shall yield the
right of way at other places in the
business or residence sections to We
hicles on the street or highway.
Vehicles coming out of alleys Of
private roads or driveways shal
yield the right of way to vehicles
on the street or highway. If tn
view is obstructed, they must stol
before crossing the sidewalk or en-
tering the highway.
Ambulances and police and fir
vehicles shall have the right of wa!
over all other vehicles, but this doe
not relieve the driver of the am
bulance or police or fire vehicle from
the duty to drive with due regard t.
! the safety of all persons upon tn
highway.
When a fire or police vehicle o
ambulance approaches and gives Al
| audible signal by means of bel
/ siren or exhaust whistle, drivers o
other vehicles must go as close to tn
right hand curb as possible, clear o
any intersection, and remain ther
until the ambulance or police or fir
vehicle has passed, unless otherwis
directed by the police. Use of siren
on other than fire and police car
and ambulances is prohibited.
1t is also made unlawful to follow
within 500 feet of any fire apparatu
responding to an alarm, or to driv
into or park within the block wher
such fire apparatus has stopped, un
less permitted by police or fir
department officer.

CHOLERA SITUATION SERIOUS


A number of loads of hogs have
been held up and sold subject in the
yards recently because of hog cholera
infection, which indicates that chol-
era is more or less prevalent in var
ious sections of the state. This ap-
pearance of cholera at this season of
the year indicates that cholera losses
during the season are likely to be
serious and that unusual precau-
tions will have to be taken this sea-
son to avoid cholera losses or else
such losses are likely to become very
serious.
On farms where cholera existed
last year spring pigs should be re-
moved from infected grounds if pos
sible and put on pasture or land where
hogs were not kept last year and
kept away from houses and buildings
occupied by hogs which were infected
with cholera. Hog houses and other
premises which must be used should
be thoroughly disinfected. The first
appearance of cholera should be
promptly met by vaccination. II
cholera is known to exist in your COM
munity a single vaccination with hog
cholera serum would be advisable and
if cholera is known to exist on youl
premises no doubt double-treatment
producing permanent immunity woule
be profitable. We would not urge
double treatment on clean premises
unless cholera is prevalent in the com.
munity, but we would urge unusua
sanitary precautions and would urge
at least single treatment if cholers
exists anywhere in the community.
Unless every precaution is uset
Minnesota's hog crop is likely to sui
fer serious losses this year from hog
cholera so every producer should b
on his guard.

MYSTERY
BY HAROLD JOHNSON
by International News Service

SHREVEPORT, La, March
9. Johnny Mostil, one Of
baseball's greatest fly ball
hawks, today lies at the point
Of death, following what is be-
lieved to have been an at
tempt at suicide in the Whit6
Sox camp at the Youree Hotel
here.
There were five knife
wounds in his left breast in
the heart region, a razor slice
in his neck, razor cuts in both
legs, and his left hand nearly
severed when he was found in
the apartment Of Pat Prunty
late yesterday.
Motive Is Mystery
There seems to be no argument
but that Johnny tried to destroy
himself. He arrived Monday morn
ing from Chicago in company with
Bill Barrett and his perpetual
rooter, Prunty.
Johnny was disinclined to exert
himself in the initial workout and
confined his training to few joys
about the outfield. Yesterday IL
rained and there was no practice
session.
At S:45 p. m. JOHNNY chatted
gayly with the writer in the hotel
lobby. He then retired to the
room reserved for Prunty, who
had gone to play cards with friends
in a nearby apartment. Prunty
later said:
