Headline: Change in road laws
In the session of the last legislation, many changes were made in the general road laws. The road hog who refuses to give one-half the road, while meeting another vehicle for passing, be it either an automobile driver or piloting a load of hay, or if either of the above cases if a driver refuses to give one-half the road to allow the faster vehicle to pass the other where both are going the same direction, the fine in both instances is $25 or sixty days in jail.
Any person who throws tacks, glass, broken crockery or any substance or device whatever, in the public roads that will injure horse's feet or automobile tires is subject to a fine of $50 or sixty days in jail or both.

The boys were evenly matched on last night's boxing card as all bouts were declared draws by the judges, including the semi-finals between Tommy Wilson and Wayne Myers of Malta and the main set-to between Rex Kaufman and Elmer Mayhew.
The program was spiced by a good scrap between Bill Burch and Ed Hall of Dodson. Both boys are in the amateur class and made a big hit with the crowd.

Headline: Finishing what great grandma started
More than half a century later, Anita Green of Wagner has finished what her great grandmother started in 1952.
With some help from her friends.
Green last week was displaying what might be called a genealogy quilt to friends at Malta Elementary.
What's unique about the quilt is that the quilt top was started in 1952 by her great grandmother, Mary Jane (Smith) Edwards.
Work on the original quilt halted when Green's great grandmother had a stroke.
