ing health has caused him to dis

Fined for faulty Brakes.
A few days ago an oil transport
loaded with gasoline descending a
grade, while coming down the op
posite hill came a bus filled with
people. It was the duty of the trans
port to stop, which the driver at
tempted to do but loose brakes al
lowed the transport to slide Into
the bus. The impct was npt very
severe and no barm came but 'a
slight shock. In the arraignment,
when it was proven that the brakes
were defective, the driver of the
transport -was fined $1$ and. coa
cianded to have his brakes tightened.
Thi3 was a near catastrophe, for
but slightljr more of a shock could
have wrecked the transport and sent
flaming gasoline over the entire bus
load of messengers. It seems as
though the penalty was not adequate,
for traveling the highways with
heavy loads and faulty brakes could
result in fatal accidents.
Bain Revives Hope.
The farmers who have seen their
corn crops sizzle under a scorching
sun, with the thermometer over the

will be a full corn crop this year,

damaged beyond repair. As there
has been only a partial corn crop

anxious to get a good crop of corn
this year.
