SAFETY FIRST.

If dollar is worth the great effort
required to earn it, it ought to be
worth the less effort required to save
it. If Safety First" is good motto
to follow while you are pursuing the
elusive dollar, it ought to be a good
motto when that dollar becomes your
own. Mankind in general does many
perilous things for dollar, some of
which perhaps may be justified by the
needs of mankind. There is not justi-
ficatlon for mankind in general to take
perllOuS chances with the dollar that
has been accumulated.

The testimony of Henry Ford, the
automobile manufacturer, before the
United States Commission on Industrial
Relations, fascinates one. 1t reads
like romance. A farmers boy with
a country school education, he began
life for himself at IL years of age. He
began the manufacture of automobiles
in 1898 and is now worth at least
$40, 900. His company employs
nearly 10000 men and on a capitaliza-
tion Of $2,OOO,OOO made a net profit of
S25. 100000 last year. He intimated
that the trouble with most large cor
porations was over-capitalization He
said about $50 ex-convicts and criminals
worked for him and under the Ford
company's profit sharing plan they
were making good. Ford said. "We
will guarantee to take every man out
of Sing Sing and make man of him. y
The proit-sharing system and the
Ford plan of keeping in close touch
with his army of employees through
paid workers and teachers is marvel
ously effective scheme.

received prize awards for maple goods

makers at Montpelier last week. This
is good. In comparison with the num-

this is not enough. Another year let's

The present Vermont legislature
seems to have about it that determina-

business and get home, that excites
favorable comment from every quar-
ter. Most of the important bills are
already in and earnest consideration
is being given them. If the press and
the public keep themselves in happy
frame of mind toward this Legislature
instead of criticising and knocking
every possible mistake, it will help
wonderfully to make things move

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport
System to the Front as Perfect as
Is Possible.

When it is mentioned that 1000 tons
of goods-food and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
of the army service will be gathered.
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
IN France even so perishable neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And just as reserves are accumulated
in the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut off the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways of SO hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not. even have to draw on the re-
serves / have mentioned regimental
stores were sufficient for his need.
Everything goes by clockwork. There
is no room for an accident.-London

very serious extent, the total value
Of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. al
though southern Alberta had bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone eQualed
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese. poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.

l,147,3S2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing S4,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to

per bushel, these yielded revenue OF
$1719S,55S. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced. the yield be-
ing little short Of one million BUSH

amounted to 15,102,0S3 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926 At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
S2O,3S7,812. The total production OF
barley was 7,S47640 bushels, which, at
SOC per bushel yielded a revenue of
$4.316, 202.

The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $78,516,S91, as COM
pared with $5S ,09S,0S4 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,-

my, my!" l could hear the livery
man saying. "Lohengrin's hesitation
must be the result of the epidemic of
automobiles which is now raging over
our country roads The automobile
has a strange effect on Lohengrin. It

with few verbal twisters.
Don't get excited" he whispered
back over the phone. "Lohengrin is a
new idea in horses. Whenever he
meets an automobile he goes to sleep
and tries to forget it. Isn't that better
than running away and dragging you
to a hospital? There must be some
thing about an automobile that affects
Lohengrin's heart. / think it is the
gasoline. The odor from the gasoline
seems to penetrate his mind to the re-
gion of his memory and he forgets to
move. Lohengrin is fine horse, with
a most lovable disposition, but when
the air becomes charged with gasoline
he forgets his duty and falls asleep at
the switch
l went out and explained to my wife
that Lohengrin was a victim of the
gasoline habit, and that he would
never leave that spot until the Bubble
went away, and that the Bubble
couldn't go away until the chauffeur
woke up, and that the chauffeur
couldn't wake up until his mind had
digested lot of wood alcohol, so she
jumped out of the trick sleigh for the
purpose of telling Lohengrin just what
she thought about him.
At that moment somebody opened
the folding doors in the barn just
ahead of US, and Lohengrin, with
whitening glance at friend wife and
shrug of Ais shoulders in my direction,
tippy-toed to cover and left US fiat.

First Head of PoIicewomen.

Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, the po-
Hcewoman Of Los Angeles, was elected
president of the National Congress of
Policewomen- at their recent meeting
in Baltimore during the National Con-
ference Of Charities and Correction.
In forming the new organization Of
policeWomen Mrs. Wells outlined a
new system of police work. She urged
that policewomen be mutually ex
changed between cities so that going
about incognito they might be better
able to discover in strange cities con-
ditions hitherto unexpected.
The other officers elected were Miss
Mary Steele Harvey, policewoman of
Baltimore, vice-president; Mrs. Geor-
gana Sherrot, policewoman at Mime
apolis, secretary, and Miss Anna Nc
Gully, the policewoman at Dayton,
O., as treasurer.

In it was happy party Of ladies and
gentlemen, who were laughing and
chatting about some people they had
just run over.
Lohengrin saw them coming and
stopped still in the middle of the road
Then he hung his head as low as he
could, and / believe if that horse had
been supplied with hands he would
have put them over his ears
The people in the Bubble began to
shout at us, and l began to shout at
the horse, and friend wife began to
shout at me, while Lohengrin stood
there and scratched his left ankle with
his right heel
Then the machine made a sudden
jump to the right and hiked by US at
the rate of about 500 fine, while
the lady passengers in the cabin de
luxe stood up and began to hand out
medals to each other because they
didn't run US down.
Ten minutes later Lohengrin came
to and looked over his shoulder at us
with smile as serene as the morning
and once more resumed his mad ca
reer onward, ever onward.
We were now about two miles from
home, and suddenly we came across a
big red touring car which stood in
front of Toadhouse, sneeZing inward

heart.
Lohengrin saw the machine before
we did.
He knew there must be an automo-
bile somewhere near because he
stopped still and quietly passed away.

by the Coroner's Delight, but he plant

his lips curled with an expression
which seemed to say, Impossible"

Then he told the waiter to call him
at 7:30, and he put his head down on
the table and went to sleep with his
face in cute little nest of hard boiled
cigarettes.
I rushed to the telephone and called
up the liveryman, but before l could
think of a word strong enough to fit
the occasion he whispered over the
wire: II know your voice, Mr.. Henry.

the reins around my wrist, in case
Lohengrin should get uneasy and want
to print horseshoes all over the auto

The next minute the machine passed
US, going at the rate of IA constables
an hour, and as it did so Lohengrin
stopped still and seemed to be biting
his lips with suppressed emotion.
l coaxed him to proceed in English.

with him
Just when 1 had picked out a good
sized hunk of ice which was to be my
argument, Lohengrin came out of his
trance and started of, but Peaches
forgot her instructions and spoke
above whisper and he stopped
again.
Then took the reins, cracked the
whip, shouted a few paragraphs of
the language General Villa uses in
Mexico when he captures a Federal
soldier, and away we rushed like the
wind-when it wasn't blowing hard.
The hours few by and we must have
gone at least half a mile, when an
other Kerosene Wagon came bouncing
toward us from the opposite direction.
