A RECORD FOR SAFETY

In 1915, the Pennsylvania Railroad
System carried in its trains more peo-
pie than in any previous year of its
history, and did so without losing the
life of single passenger in train
accident of any kind.
Statistics which have Just been
compiled show that during the year
there were transported safely, on the
lines east and west of Pittsburg, 1861
294,146 passengers, Figures for the
last few weeks of the year are neces-
sarily partly estimated. The heaviest
freight traffic ever handled by the
Pennsylvania Railroad System was
moved over its lines at the same time
that these passengers were being car
ried without loss of life.
The entire Pennsylvania Railroad
System, taking into account every af-
filiated company either east or west
of Pittsburg, now has to its credit
three full calendar years in which no
passenger has been killed as a result
of train accident on any portion of
the lines. During this period, $685.
S90,063 passengers-sGusl to five and
one-half times the population of the
United States - have been safely
transported total distance of APP
proximately fifteen billions of miles,
or $50 times as far as the sun is from
the earth. Upward of 100000
trains, carrying both passengers and
freight, were operated by day and
night, through sleet and storm, and
fog and sunshine, over 10000 miles of
railroad line and $4,000 miles of
track, while these passengers were
being taken on their journeys with
out loss Of life.
On the lines Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, east Of Pittsburg, no pas
senger's life has been lost in train
accident during any Of the last four
calendar years. and in that period
616,626, o57 people have Travelled safe

FARM LEAKs

In every farming community are
found unsuccessful farmers who are
unable to tell why they are not max
ing more money.
This lack Of knowledge on he part
Of the farmer is due chiefly to the fact
that he is not keeping farm records.
Those farmers who keep good records
are not willing to do without them.
No training in bookkeeping is nee
essary to keep such accounts.
Their chief object ID farm records
is to learn how to make the business
at farming more profitable Good
records will result either in saving
IN the cost Of production or in increas-
ing the output without increasing the
investment
Always keep an accurate record of
costs. By doing this one is able to
ascertain just where losses occur and
where to apply the remedy.
Such records surprise many farm
ers. Often they find that a crop
