All Speeders Guilty—The reek-
less drivei is as guilty before he
has his accident as he is
after be has killed,
or injured someone, and the time
to get him out of the car is before
he has done any harm. No doubt
there are many drivers who never
can learn to run a car properly,
tome because they don't care
much what happens and others
because they are not competent
drivers, either because of a nerv-
ous condition or lack of sufficient
intelligence. Each of vthese
classes is equally dangerous and
the safety of the public demands
that they be removed from their
steering wheels. Some accidents
are due to carelessness of pede-
strains, certainly. They must
learo caution or they may be in-
jured by cars that are carefully
driven, but even the greatest
care will not save them from cars
driven by the reckless and in-
competent.—Exchaoge.

Yesterday afternoon a very ex-j
eellent Memorial Program was'
rendered at the High School Aud-!
itorium where a large crowd of
the good people gathered to pay :
their respects to the Soldier Boys !
who have, long ago "gone on".
The stage was beautifully decor-
ated for the occasion and was
pleasing to the eye as well. The
program consisted of sieging,
readings and short talks by some
of Follett's talented folks. After
the program the good people left
for the Fairmont Cemetery where
they decorated the graves of
loved ones. Decoration
also means the decorating
