Illinois Valley News, Thursday, February 17, 19.18 Phil Snort (Continued from Page One) * the mines and Johnny was often with him there. Johnny told me himself that the first work he ever did in mining was to carry the steel, back and forth, from his father's -hop to the miners. Like fishing and hunt­ ing, Johnny wanted to excell in mining. If his father had been endowed enough with worldly goods, and had been able to send him to a mining college, he might have evolved into a top-notch mining engineer, for nature had given him a bright and retentive mind; but all the schooling he ever had in mining was the talk he heard from miners and psuedo- mining men, as they rehearsed their “science” around the box­ stove, in the old Waldo store, or around the mining bunk houses; he absorbed it all and thought he was learning something. I knew Johnny at the Monumen­ tal mine when he was “flag man” for the mine survey crew. His talk was nearly all surveying, for that was one of the requisites of a mining engineer, and Johnny was a mining engineer in embryo. But I must hasten this letter. So Johnny evolved into a min­ ing engineer and was just as good a one as the most who have blessed our shores with their knowledge. When Johnny was talking you could always hear him; in that way he was obstreperous. He wanted to be noticed, up in front, esteemed; in that way he was ob­ trusive. Outside of these two faults I never heal'd or knew of anything that wasn’t good about him. How many of us who have few­ er faults, if we wish to designate those two things as faults. To me they seemed, at times, almost lovable jn Johnny; at least amus­ ing. That is a great accomplish­ ment: to amuse our fellow kind. Johnny sought his living among our mines and twas there that death sought him. % De mortuis nil nisi bonum. Library at Kerby (Continued from Page One) I » is lodged in a snug building just back of the Kerby school house and books are let out two after­ noons a week, free of charge, by librarians who donate their time. Although the books are shabby from their many moves, there is much good reading among the old books, and many good and newer ones are finding their way to the shelves every month through do­ nations. The school children, especially, are enjoying the proximity of the library to their school house, and the present library board is mak­ ing an especial effort to procure good children's books. There are also a number of excellent refer­ ence books on a variety of sub­ jects.

Applications For State Grubstake lA»an Close Saturday, February 19 No, the rules regarding traffic lanes must be observed even though the lanes are divided only by imaginary lines, This rule is easy to observe on a two-lane highway where there is no center stripe. In this case you simply drive on the right half of the highway except when passing an­ other car going the same direc­ tion. On a city street which is wide enough for four lines of traffic, you should drive as close to the right-hand edge of the street as possible except when passing an­ other car, or when preparing to make left turns, in which case you should occupy a position just to the right of the center of the street. Remember that you can be a “line-straddler” even where no lines are painted.
