The title of this story might be, "Look Before You Step on the Accelerator. Sergeant Harley Weimer of the state highway police, driving about forty miles an hour in his new official coupe-, passed a flivver on route 7, west of Geneseo, The flivver, being Insulted, attempted to turn to pass the police car, and an accident was narrowly avoided as a third machine approached from the opposite direction. Evidently William N. Beal of Toulon, who waa piloting the flivver, did not realize that. Weimer was an officer of the law, for when he was halted and questioned he calmly inquired: "Well, what business did you have going 40 per?" By way of answer, Sergeant Weimer escorted him to Geneseo and arraigned him before Justice Hugh, W.

Cole. Beal, confronted by a charge of reckless driving, first begged for leniency and then threatened to contest the case. A fine of $27.50 was remitted by Justice Cole and costs of $7.50 were cut to $5 when it was found Beal had only $5.47 in his pockets. Appreciatively, Beal asked for the officer's name and position, indicating that he intended to complain about the matter to John Stack of Kankakee, chief of the highway police. Beat's machine carried an Iowa license plate, although he had moved from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, more than a week ago.

He stated he planned to complete the year with the Iowa plates. Weimer warned him against the intention. GENESEO SETS NEW RECORD IN CORN SHIPMENT More Carloads Sent Out in Octo-ber Than During 1925, Rail-road Announces. (Special to The Argus.) Geneseo, 111., Nov. 2.
