On pavements keeping to the
right is especially important. Many
drive with left wheel on the center
line. This is dangerous; if you
meet another driver doing the
same thing, there is an accident.
Standard pavements are eigh-
teen feet. If you keep your left
wheels two feet outside the center
line, you still have fully two feet
between your wheels and the edge
of the pavement. Even if the
right wheels go out on the should
ers, nothing serious happens. But
if the left wheels go to far left
read any newspaper and see
what happens.
Following too Closely
The driver of a motor vehicle
or street car shall not follow an
other vehicle more closely than is
reasonable and prudent having
due regard to the speed of such
vehicles and the traffic upon and
the condition Of the highway and
the condition of this vehicle. It
often happens when there is an
accident, two or three other We
hicles will run into the wreckage
because the drivers are too close
to stop quickly. If they observed
the above section of the state law,
this would not happen.
The distance that is reasonable
and prudent" is not specified, but
is left to the judgment of the
driver, in the case of passenger
vehicles. But in the case cf
trucks, the law specifically pro-
vides that in driving outside of
any municipality, they shall not
be closer than 100 feet, except
when overtaking and passing an
other vehicle.
Displaying License Plates
The state law prohibits anyone
from driving a motor vehicle un-
less license plates are displayed in
both front and rear in such msa-
ner as to be plainly visible.
Originally number plates were
intended only for Identification
purposes; today they are also a
sign that you have paid your tax
for better highways.
Some drivers, for obvious rea-
sons, purposely leave their license
plates dirty, or have them partly
covered by bumpers, trunks, or
baggage, SO as to make Identified
ton difficult.
Others through pure negligence
leave the plates dirty or cbscured.
This leaves them under suspicion
that they want to avoid identified
ton.
If you are law-abid.ng driver,
and take pride in your citizenship,
see that your plates are clean and
plainly visible from both front and
rear.

WOOL is HIGH PRICED

Alex Huddleston, of Wabasha,
President of the Minnesota Coop
erative Wool Growers Association,
in an interview this week declared
that wool receipts at his organiza-
TONS warehouses in recent weeks
had been exceptionally heavy.
s'It now appears said Mr..
Hudjleston, "that the volume of
business handled by our organize
ton this year will exceed that of
the year 1928 by at least fifty per
cent.
Minnesota feeces are in bet
ter condition this year than they
were year ago." continued Mr..
Huddleston, Sand ss a result we
have made some exceptional sales
recently. One sale was made of
100000 pounds of Minnesota
wool to a Boston firm at AZ cents
per pound. less one-half cent

Obey Traffic Laus
PreUent Accidents

Making a turn in the middle of
the block is no longer forbidden
by state law, but it is forbidden
by ordinance in many cities. Max
ing "U' turns at intersections is
these are usually marked.
also forbidden in many places but
Before making cup turns, be
sure first that there is no local or
dinance against it, then see that it
can be done safely. On a side
street it is sometimes safer to make
a turn in the middle of the block
than to go to an intersection with
a heavily travelled thoroughfare.
But where there is even moderate
traffic, ssU" turns should he
avoided, both at crossings and in
the middle of the block. In heavy
traffic the only safe way is to go
around the block.
The Minnesota traffic law pro-
vides that vehicles shall yield the
right of way to pedestrians at any
regular cross walk or extension of
the sidewalk, except where traffic
Is controlled by traffic officers or
traffic control devices.
This is not new law, although it
is the first time it has been put in
to the statutes. Common law gave
pedestrians the right of way at
all places. The new statute re-
quiries them to yield the right of
way to vehicles, in the business
and residence districts, at all plac-
es except the regular crossings.
Legally, motorists should stop
or slow down to let pedestrians
cross at the crossings, and pedes-
TRANS should cross at other places
only when there is no oncoming
vehicle.
For safety sake, however, both
should do little more than the
law requires. Pedestrians should
look both ways at crossings, and
motorists should keep their eyes
open in the middle of the block as
well as at the crossings.
<'No person having control or
charge of motor vehicle shall al
low such vehicle to stand upon any
highway unattended without first
effectively setting the brakes
thereon and when standing upon
any grade without turning the
front wheels of such vehicle to the
curb or side of the highway"
The last parts an extra precau-
ton. Good brakes may hold the
car on a hill, but if they do not
hold tight, a little push or a wind
may start the car down hill. If
the wheels are not turned to the
curb, disaster may follow.
On street or road which seems
to he level, sudden storm may
start the car if the brakes are not
set. It only takes second to
set them, it does no harm and it
may save a lot of trouble. To be
doubly sure, leave the car in gear.
The law requires drivers of all
vehicles to stay on the right half
of the road except when passing
other vehicles or when road con-
ditions make it impractical.

Governor Christianson was more than
half right when he shyly intimated that
the cause of the commotion was the ex-
plosion of a third term dynamo. The peo-
pie do have respect for traditions.-Fair-
mont Sentinel.
Why not apply the third term veto to gov
ernor as well as president? Let Governor
Ted make the run for United States senator,
and set an example for other governors to
follow-beng content with two terms What
is good for the nation should be acceptable
to the states.
Evidently Bro. Day has had change of hear
in connection with the third term idea. If oul
memory serves US right as chairman of the Demo
cratic State committee back in 1908 Frank Day
engineered the campaign for the election of the
late beloved John A. johnson as governor for the
third consecutive term.

BUSINESS LEADER PASSES ON

Ebert n. Gary, nearly 81 years of age, head
of the United States Steel corporation for long
period of years, died at his New York home early
Monday morning. No man in the world welded as
much influence in business circles did Mr.. Gary.
1t is estimated that the prosperity of nearly 3,O00
600 people were dependent upon Mr.. Gary. In
his long business life he had many controversies
with labor. He did not always yield to the demands
of the radical element of his employees but he
universally fair. His place will be hard to fill.
He was ill for nearly six weeks. His condi-
tion was probably known to the financial world be-
cause few weeks ago there persistent rumor
that there would be an amalgamation of the Gen
era Motor interests with those of the Steel corpo-
ration with Mr.. DUPONT as the active head of both
organizations.
Uncle Sam might have something to say if an
amalgamation of this sort was attempted.
Difficult as it will be some man will De found
who will be able to carry the steel industry as
successfully as did Mr.. Gary. 1t is characteristic
of the American people that regardless of the re-
sponsble position held by some individual some one
else step into his shoes and fill the place made
vacant by retirement death.
Sometimes individuals get tine erroneous idea
that upon their own personal ability depended the
of the business with which rey are associat-
ed.
1t would be a terrible calamity if business sue
cess or world happiness dependent upon individ-
uals.
