HOME COMING

The anticipated joy of home
coming reception mingled with
regrets everywhere evident,
marked the departure at 1880
A. M. today of all the boys en-
camped here. The boat steamed
out from the dock at 1880 AM
enroute to Washington. d. C. at
which point the boys started
for home over the various rout
es. Many took the 9:15 special
accommodation train over the P.
X. r. due to arrive at Pitts
burgh at 6:15 p. M. Others av-
allied themselves of all methods
of transportation, from aero

efforts. The score book showed
a tie, each side having made 6
scores, but the decision, as we
have it, went to the Caney boys
due to the fact that Lower Elk
forfeited the game when they
baked in the twelfth inning
and would not finish the game.
An arguement over ball
that was hit by one of Lower
Elk's players, which ran in a
score for the Lower Elk team,
ended the game.

Will say, take it both up and
down the creek via Tiny, it is
a busy little town. Of course we
do not farm here only on alight
scale from the fact that those
who are able to farm our hill
side land are either working
for W.. M. Ritter Lumber Com
pany or in Detroit. We are also
destitute of telephone service
on account of So much timber
being cut, but we hope and be-
leve that in the near future
we will have our phone service
restored, with the aid of the
good old w. M. R. L. Co.
We have just had a nice little
rain which has completely set

awful.

pull through by the sentiment,
of the voters regardless of

THREE IN A SEAT
DANGER PICTURED

The danger of crowded front
seats in automobiles, long recognized
by traffic officers, is given official
recognition in the model traffic or
dinance prepared by the League of
Minnesota Municipalities. The or
dinance is being considered by the
council in Ely and many other cities
and villages in Minnesota.
One section of the new ordinance
provides that it shall be prima facie
evidence of careless driving:
When there are more than
two beside the driver in the
drivers seat.
When the driver has anyone
in his lap, or is seated in the
lap of another person while the
car is in motion.
When the driver has his arm
around another person, or when
another person has an arm
around the driver, while the
car is in motion.
Accidents due to crowded front
a
large proportion of fatal accidents,
overcrowding was at least partly
responsible.
The Grand Meadow Record re-
Gently told of an accident near
Adams where a small coupe with
three men and three young women
ran into a train. The car was de-
molished but by streak of luck
all six occupants are alive.
"Three in Seat Dangers" is the
subject of a recent editorial in the
Minneapolis Star. 1t says:
"The front seat of an automobile
is designed to seat two adults. We
know some drivers who will not OPP
crate their car with more than one
other person in the front seat. They
freedom Of quick action hampered
if an emergency should demand it.
'tWe notice in many grade cross
ing fatalities the driver has had too
many in the front seat. A locomo-
tive engineer has the whole side of
a roomy cab to himself. He is run
ming on rails, it is not necessary for
him to dodge walkers, other ma
chimes and wagons. He may go for
months without having to make an
emergency stop. He does no steer
ing, his work is mental to great
extent. The need for unhampered
movement is about one to thou
sand compared to driving an auto
mobile.
every time we go out, we see
machines being driven at express
train speed with the driver pinned
closely in his seat. All will be well
if nothing happens. But if some
thing does happen, death or injury
is almost certain.
"Why is not fore stress put on
the three in the front seat danger
in safety first" talks?"
