SAFETY FIRST AT PAY CAR CURVE

We've surveyed many days to make
A new route for the trains to take,
And Danish part of the worry and woe
That short curves bring to the S. P, Co.
We ran the C. L. DER arroyas and hills,
We measured all the cuts and 6lls
Cross-sections Yesl You bet we took,
Which Hammond entered in his book.
We set the hubs and station stakes,
On level ground and in the breaks;
With transit, rod, picket and level,
We worked just like the very devil"
We did all this at PAY Car" curve
Where an engineer requires strong nerve,
And steady hand ard watchful eye,
To take his charges" safely by.
Safety First is the slogan today,
And that is why right-of-way.
Around this piece of track is sought.
Which II make the danger almost nought

era. More Arkansas farmers
should realize that the State
Serum Plant belongs to them

know that all products are

are guaranteed. Many prom
inent veterinarians and farm
ers consider the State Serum

cinated with the State made
serum died. This number in

State serum has given ex-
