With this procedure, II one has good

ground should be prepared in the best
method possible to obtain a good seed

the fly-free date.

but it has inspired the general pub
lie to have more care in connection
with their railway travel and has
been the cause of the saving of
hundreds of human lives annually
to say nothing of the saving of the
human family in the reduction of
the number of accidents that result
in injuries not resulting in death.
In the railway shops in Missouri
one sees Safety First" over the
lathe, the planer, the boring ma

round house it looms up in view;
in the dispatchers' offices; in the

Safety First" has come to be the
motto. The millions of dollars ex-
pended by American railways in

motto that has come to be. of gener-
al American use, has been more
than repaid in the lessened acct

has been the beneficiary of Safety
