WOULD YOU WIN sUcCEsS7
Then Play tho Game of Safety First,
and Play It Well.

All the world loves winner when
the contest has been fairly played.
The local baseball team receives far
greater enthusiasm and support when
1t is winning than when it is repeated
ly losing. We praise the accomplish
ment of a difficult feat. Each one Of
us halls the skill and tenacity Of pur-
pose that puts over any great achieve
ment. Things requiring the clear
head, the watchful eye, the skillful
hand and the bulldog grip of determi-
nation get our hearty commentator.
Said Abraham Lincoln. Il don't think
much of the man who is not wiser to-
day than he was yesterday" No truer
words could be written Of the safety
first game IL you would be a winner,
each day must find you wiser, keener
and more alert than the day before.
1t is a contest in which we match our
determination to have 10 suffering
from accidents to ourselves and fellow
men against little acts Of thoughtless-
ness and carelessness that bring these
results.
Nor is this game ever ended. Each
new day calls for better score. New
conditions surround us, and all of our
faculties, the best that is in us, are
challenged to increased effort To
have our work really well done it must
be safely done, and none of us wants
any less than the best.
For your own sake, for the sake OF
the family at home, the wife and chill
dren, the mother or sister, play the
game, and play it well. Play it with
the interest, the spirit, the enthusiasm,
that will make you win. 1t will take
all your skill and ability to play 1t
right.
Yesterday is gone-forget it.
Tomorrow is yet to come-plan for 1t.
Today is here-use it = Common
