PASTE THIS ON YOUR MIND
And Don't Forget II when Inclined
to Get Gay When You Are
Boating.

There are chronicled every summer a
long list Of fatal drowning accidents which
plunge thousands into mourning, and the
pity OF 1t is that a little knowledge OF
workmanship and ordinary care might
have prevented most OF them. To ignorance
or carelessness in entering and leaving a
boat or while in It; to venturing into open
water unprepared. and to neglect OF the
rudimentary principles OF Workmanship
can be traced half the recorded fatalities.
No one should ever take out rowing per-
sons who do not know how to swim with
out first ascertaining that the boat is safe
and seaworthy and provided with the nee
essary paraphernalia for eventuallties. II
Is when one least expects 1t that accidents
occur, and the only way 10 avoid them
is TO be prepared at all ines. A stout
bow line, enough life preservers to go
around, an anchor, something to bale with
and an extra pair OF oars should be carried
on principle. You many not need them
ninety-nine times out OF a hundred, but
on that hundredth time they may mean
life or death.
In getting into a boat one should try to
step right into the bottom over the keel,
or II this is too great a reach, on to the
middle OF the seat and then down. Step
ping on the gunwale has been responsible
for numberless capsizings and II is a good
idea when inexperienced people are EN-
barking TO take hold OF the boat and steady
II. Enter, II possible, where you intend
to sit and In such a manner that you
will not have to turn afterward.
The weight should be distributed as
evenly as possible. in a small boat, with
slight preference to the stern. II the bow
is buried the least head swell will flood
the boat and II the stern is too deep a
following sea may swamp H. In making
a landing one should approach IL at an an
gle, shipping the inward oar a few yards
away and rounding up by backing with
the outward one. II Is dangerous to
stretch out over the gunwale 10 reach fer
float or pier. In landing the person in the
bow should be first taking the bow line
with him and s~teadying une boat for the
Others.

MOTOR CARS AS MONEY SAVERS
Farmers In Southwestern Iowa Find
the Helpful and
Economical.

During his recent trip through the west
Mr.. William C. Brown, president of The
New York Central, spent a considerable
time in the farming districts, notably Of
the part OF Iowa, and was
much impressed with the hold the auto
mobile has secured among them and its
effect upon the roads OF that section.
1T is remarkable" he said, in talking OF
his TRIP, ito notice how the farmers are
buying automobiles. Only a little while
ago the average western farmer would as
soon think OF buying N automobile as he
would OF hiring the Flatiron building for
a COW barn. Now in the little town OF
Clarinda, where / spent some time, one
OF the features OF the Fourth Of July will
be a parade in which 100 farmers will show
their automobiles. In that place twenty
five men have ordered machines which the
factories nave been unable 80 far 10 de-
liver.
While I was there a nice looking auto
mobile, driven by a farmer, came up to my
place. The farmers wife was with him.
and in the tonneau were two big cans OF
cream. My man introduced him. and ]
asked him OF he found the automobile eco
nomical.
~ do said he My place is thirteen
miles out. 1 have to go to town every
other day with my cream and to transact
business. Before 1 got an automobile IT
took a day for myself and a team OF horses
to make the trip. Now / am in town
in forty-five minutes from the time !
leave the farm.
" i am fit then for a days work and
my horses are also in condition to do
whatever is required Of them. Three days
work Of myself and a team Of horses are
thus saved each week.
ia the old days when there was a lad
slough in the road through which a loaded
wagon could not be pulled by one team
the farmers simply hitched on another
team and dragged 1t through. Now these
places are fixed up as soon as they de
veiop. II they cannot be fixed In any
other way they put plank bridges over
them. Otherwise they could not use their
automobiles. Thus they make II easier
and less expensive to get their heavy
truck to market."-New York Herald.

COAL STRIKE NO HURT HERE
Conditions I'm Kansas Mines Have NOl
Affected Prices of Steam Fuel
I'm nah

The strike in the Kansas coal fields will
not affect Omaha for some time, II at all.
This is the unanimous opinion Of local
dealers In steaming coal, most OF which
comes to Omaha from Kansas. One reason
for this is that much OF the coal sent to
market from Kansas is mined by the men
now on strike. Farmers bring in . goo
deal in mall ~wagonloads and there al
many other small workings not affecte
by the strike.
Also Missouri coal is available, and in
case OF a real pinch Iowa coal can be
shipped In, though this is not looked on
with great favor in Omaha, for it's steam
producing rating Is low.
Anthracite coal is doing no tumblins in
price this summer. Dealers explain this on
the ground that carriage is higher and that
where coal men own their own wagons
they are paying a higher price for horse
feed. This is practically the same Eek
PLANTATION" used last year and the year
before. .
