Remarkable Record.

ger traffic. The figures for most Of
the other railroads have not yet been
compiled by the government, but in
1909 the number of passengers car
ried was $4,000, 900, 900. The figures
for 1910, it is said, will not exceed a
billion more.
Many other railroads have gone
through a year without a fatality to
any of its passengers, but it is said
that no system has made this record
for such a large total of passengers
Result of System.
Results on the Hartman lines are
ascribed to a campaign waged by the
management for years to reduce acci-
dents. The Hartman system now has
more miles of automatic block signal
protection than any other system in
the world. Mr.. Kruttschnitt has di-
rected special attention to the accident
problem, and began several years ago
to bring about a reduction by giving
complete publicity to all forms of ac-
cidents and their investigation, which,
it is believed, spurred officers and en-
ployes to greater efforts to safeguard
lives
In 1903-1904 the number of acci-
dents on the Union Pacicfi was 20 for |
100000 locomotive miles. on the |
Pacific system of the Southern Pacific |
the number of accidents per 1,000,0 900
locomotive miles was reduced from
29.5 to 10.5 in the same time.

Co-onerntire Merchandisinr.

President Diers of the Nebraska association has
gained considerable favorable notoriety throughout
the country by his plan of cooperative merchandising
Every trade in the land and most Of the daes
have taken it up and commented on it at one time or
another The scheme has been in effect in Madison
Neb., with very satisfactory results.
To make this plan effective stock company is
formed Of all the merchants in town This company
operates central depot at which all butter eggs and
produce received. The manager of the central
depot issues checks on the various merchants with
whom the farmer may to trade. In this one de-
tail Of retail merchandising it claimed the co-opera-
tive feature substantial sum every month for
every member, whereas under the eVery-man-for-
himself plan the merchant loses money in handling
his produce Cooperative delivery goes with this CO.

wants TO help entertain her this year. Since the in
yitaon has gone to 1900 merchants, it is not
unlikely that several hundred of the influential home
makers of Nebraska will accompany their husbands
to this convention.
President Diers and Secretary Avery have pre-
scented to the merchants Of this state ten reasons why
they should attend convention and get behind the
federation in its purposes and these ten reasons COM
prise an epitome progressive things the organ
ization stands fors as follows:
If You are keeping your store open late or have
no fixed time for closing
II Won keen your store open on Sundays
II you have no credit rating system by which yoS
can safely guard against bad accounts.
II YOU have accounts you cannot collect and want
TO know how to proceed to collect same, If at all col
lectibe.
II YOU are not handling butter, eggs and other
farm products without a loss.
II YOU want to get rid of handling butter, eggs and
poultry in your store.
n YOU want to avoid conflict in trade relations and
maintain profit goods you sell.
II YOU want to establish friendly relation between
yourself and your brother merchants in your line Of
business.
II you want to adopt cooperative delivery sys
tenn in which several stores share in the expense.
II you want to sell goods and make a fair and Just
pro6t and help bring merchandising to higher plane
thereby making the pursuits OF merchandising
source Of pleasure instead of drudgery.
