Dear Mr. Story:
Is it not possible -that this article
pomts the way to success for our peow
pie? Madison County i will probably
never be a rich copnty, but it can be
made to produce crops sufficient to
feed all the people and feed many
more pigs and chickens and cattle.
What finer section for apples, grapes,
hay, small fruits, certified potatoes
cabbage, etc? "There's more in the
man than there is in the land." Supr
pose a thousand farmers from Madi
son County should be swapped for a
thousanjd' from (Pennsylvania (thjs
Lancaster Co. kind), would there b
a difference here and there? (

PEDESTRIANS
MUST WALK
ON LEFT SIDE
NEW HIGHWAY ORDINANCES IN
EFFECT JANUARY lSTj
FINE FOR VIOLATION
The ordinances adopted by the
state highway commission last week
do not require pedestrians to walk
30 feet from the center of the road,
but d'o require them to kefep to the
left hand side, H. K. Witherspoon,
assistant to the chairman, announced.
The error in the text of the ord'
nance, which was first given out as-a
clerical one, caused by the fact that
ordinance 22, the one relating t6 pe
destrians, comes in the midst of oth
er ordinances, relating, to the placing
of telegraph, and telephone poles,
rural mail iboxes, signs and' other ob
jects. All of these must be placed
30 feet from the center of the high
way. The rule that pedestrians muat
keep to the left hand side of the road
was enacted, Mr. Witherspoo explain
ed, so that the pedestrians could al
ways see cars approaching them. If
the pedestrians walk on the right
hand' side of the road they run the
risk of being run down by cars ap
proaching from behind.
Although it is not included in the
ordinance, pedestrians are advised, as
. . ..4.:AM n wnllr nrt tne
a saieiy precnuuuu, -- -shoulders
of the road, and not on the
paved portion. Persons who get out
of cars to fix tires, make repairs, or
for any other purpose, are requireu
to be on the shoulders, ana nui w.
paved : portion of the road, nrwj
new . vdinances which go into effect
Tfc.rdinances,-arry -st W
$10 and1 costs for each violafion, and
the state highway patrol is directed
to enforce them. Most of the 42
ordinances are designed to protect
the highways, and related to the ,mo v-
of heavy trucks, iarm u"
the state's roads.
