Railroad Safety.

The Safety First campaign is max

used to talk about fine scenery, luxd-
rious cars, fast trains. Now they arr

mighty good publicity.
The Union Pacific Railroad recently
able ID show that it carried $751; 74
passengers during its last fiscal year.
And it didn't kill single one. This /;

The average American is a reckless
person. He dislikes to seem timid

per cent. will choose the road with tn,

ANNETTE kELlERMAN AT

COST OF DISTRIBUTION.

IL there we're some way to reduce the
cost of distribution-as there ought to
be-the cost of living would not be
nearly so great. For, in the final
analysis, it is this same cost that is
responsible for most of the complaints
which one hears.
For Illustration, there goes a heavy
fifty pounds of freight-a small box
containing something a country mer-
chant has ordered from a wholesale
house In addition to the driver of the
truck, there sits an extra man on the
seat-to do the unloading when the
station is reached.
The contents of the box are worth
perhaps five dollars. That is what II
cost the wholesaler The cost of get
ting it to the depot will be about four
dollars, figuring the wear and tear ant
the cost of the gasoline and the wages
of the men in charge of the truck.
Perhaps when it reaches its destina-
! ton on the railroad, the same process
will take place, and another heavy COS,
be encountered
1t is an exception. The wholesale
house generally sends whole truck
load of goods to the depot. And still
it is such an exception as one sees
every day in the week, on every street
of the city. You can see the big deliv
cry wagons of the local stores making
trips with small loads. You can find
two men putting in several hours de
livering a package that isn't worth ;
dollar. But it is all figured in overhead
expense and the volume of trade mus
