SAFETY FIRST"
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Two Million Railroad Employees En-
gagged in Intensified Campaign
Against Accidents.

Two million railroad employees
throughout the United States entered
Saturday Midnight upon an intensified
campaign against accidents the
National Railroad Accident Proven
ton Drive. For two weeks, ending
at midnight Friday, October 91st,
caution and care will fight for a rec
ord clear of injuries and fatalities,
which might have been avoided, on
every railroad under government con-
troll.
Definite figures on results of the
first twenty four hours of the cam
paign probably will not be availa-
BILE for several days. Men and wom-
en-, officers and employees, on the road
and in the shops, roundhouses, sta
tions and offices of the country are
involved, so time will be required to
assemble and compile the daily re-
ports.
The purpose of the drive is to
eliminate SO far as humanity possible
the avoidable accidents which con-
stantly takes distressing toll of life
and limb on the railroads, and thus
to demonstrate what caution would
mean if practiced day in and day
out in the operation of the railroads.
Previous campaigns conducted in re-
gions and on individual railroads
have given an idea of what can be
done. The great nationwide move
ment is designed to produce more
forcible demonstration, and, with the
cooperation of industries along the
railroads, shippers, state and munic-
iual authorities and the public gen.
orally, to bring the lesson home to
everybody.
During the third week of last Jan
uary the first of the regional safety
demonstrations was staged in the
Southern Region, with the remarka-
BILE result of eighty percent reduction
in accidents compared with the same
week of January 1918. This record
has not been equalled in other re-
gions and the Southern railroads
have gone into the national compe-
tition determined to stay at the top.
To stimulate Southern Region En-
ployes in their fight for the record
as the region of safest railroads, B.
L. Winchell, Regional Director, with
headquarters at Atlanta, has offered
handsome silver cup to be awarded
to the employees of the group of lines
showing the smallest number of ac-
cidents during the two weeks. There
are eleven groups of railroads in the
region, and the cup, known as ."The
Southern Region Trophy will be O.
warded upon the basis Of the reports
of the eleven federal managers. The
trophy is now on display in Allan
ia.
When the drive is in full swing,
daily reports from the Southern Re-
gion will be received and given to
the public by c. NJ Anderson, Re-
gional Supervisor of Safety, Attain
ia, Ga,

TRIES TO SOLVE
 COTTON SITUATION
SIDNEY Y. WEST TELLS OF THE PLANS CONSIDERED AT THE NEW ORLEANS CONFERENCE.

s. f. West, treasurer of the Inter national World Cotton Conference, returned from New Orleans, where he attended a meeting of the execus tive committee of the conference. He said there was no way to determine the outcome of the present cotton sit uation.
 The meeting of the executive com mittee was to make arrangements for the meeting of the conference to be held at New Orleans October 13 to October 16, inclusive. Nine hundred rooms were reserved by the com mittee for the foreign guests to be present at the conference. It is be- lieved that at least 5000 delegates from all parts of the world will att tend the conference, MT. West said. All classes of cotton men from pro- ducer to the retailer will be in at tendance, it was said, including "in- betweens" from every step of the in- duob13 14OnI Sp11llASlS CO p1cl1ISIS. I1S said that passage had already been booked for 300 spinners from Eng land alone to attend the conference.
 "The New Orleans Association of Commerce and the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange are doing everything possible to make the affair thorough in every detail," MT. West said. About 100 acres of cotton will be grown in the city to show visitors every phase of the cotton industry everything from planting the staple to loading it on steamers, where it is taken to be converted into finished goods. Many mechanical cotton pick CTS will be demonstrated. Addresses will be made by Secretary of Agri- culture D. F. Houston and many other nationally and internationally known men. New Orleans has the most up- to-date warehouse facilities of any city in the world, making it an ideal place to hold the conference"

our government issues and some municipal issues, there is a business risk which has to be taken, and against which no precaution is in- fallible.
 Of course, there is never a pro- motion in which the promoters do not expect to make a profit, and Tn legi- innate propositions such profit is as fair and right as in the purchase and sale of merchandise. It is safe to write down that the luridly advertised stocks and bonds are best left alone; instances where there were profits to the buyer, are so rare that it would be worth while to preserve them in some museum. This statement, of course does not apply to the adver- tisements of well known banking houses who have made as thorough investigation as possible of prop erty before they consented to attempt to sell it, but does apply to the sen sational advertisements of Tom, Dick and Harry, whom nobody ever heard of, unless it be in connection with some exposed swindle.
 There could be no better advice in this campaign, than to have every newspaper continually keep before it's readers in bold type, KEEP YOUR LIBERTY BONDS, AND BUY MORE OF THEM IF YOU CAN, AT PREVAILING PRICES.
 Liberty Bonds will pay their inter- est and will be paid at maturity. So will the coming Victory notes. One of these days the long time bonds will sell at handsome premium, and very likely the short term issues will also sell at a premium. Your prin cipal is safe and your interest will be paid to you every six months. Never mind how prices of the bonds fuctuate. You or your children will get your principal back someday, and you will get your interest regu- larly.
 When the Victory loan is out of the way, reputable bankers of the country will offer to the public great many securities of business enterprises, and at most attractive rates of divi- dend or interest. They will probably be issued in denominations which will enable the little man to take a part in these enterprises. They cannot be as safe as Liberty Bonds, for nothing else in the world is as safe, but they will be as safe as it is possible to make them.
 Everybody in the country will, be- fore many months are over, be in- vited to be a partner in many success ful businesses through the purchase of stock or bonds of great and suc- cessful industries. That is as it should be, and as it has been in France, up to date the greatest of all investment nations.

GEORGE [. TURNER
 WITH E. CRAIG & co.
BUSINESS TO BE RE-ORGAN- FEED TO DO 4 JOBBING IM- ELEMENT AND SEED TRADE.

George L. Turner, one of the best known travelling men of the State, has made the following announce ment to the trade:
 "You no doubt will be surprised to learn that I have severed my connec- tion with the John Deere Flow Go. after IT years of continuous service with this good company I have pur- chased an interest with Edmond Craig & Company of this city and assumed active management March 1. It has always been my desire to have business in the good State of Arkansas and live among my friends. This opportunity came to me and did not hesitate to take advantage of it.
 'This business is being reorganized to do a jobbing, implement and seed business, Will carry complete line of wagons, vehicles, farm implements and field seed of all kinds. Our busi- ness relations have been most pleas ant in the past and I hope for con- tinuation in the future"
 A St. Louis, trade journal makes the following announcement concern ing MT. Turner:
 After F years spent on the road and in the sales offices for John Deere Flow Company of St. Louis, George L. Turner resigned on March i and entered business at 320 East Mark ham street, Little Rock, Ark, as a member of the firm of Edmond Craig and Company. MT. Turner has been with the St. Louis house for so long that he was considered a fixture there by those who knew him well, and it was with great deal of sur prise that it was learned that he had rendered his resignation. In speak ing of his new venture, Mr. Turner said:
 It was with great deal of re- gret that I severed my connection with the John Deere Flow Company of St. Louis, after IT years of con- tinuous service for the best concern in the United States. For 12 years as travelling representative in Ar kansas, and five years as sales manager, but I have had desire to enter business for myself for the past few years and the opportunity came to me a few months ago to take an interest with Edmond Craig and Company, wholesale dealers in seed and agricultural implements in this city. I could not turn down the proposition and feel that the change is a wise one. e'"

EXPLANATION OF PRESENT
 PRICES FOR STEEL.

The new prices for iron and steel products are from per cent to 22 per cent under what they were the first of the year, and from 2 per cent to 22 per cent under the last War Board prices. However, they are from 35 per cent to 98 per cent above the average prices for 1914. Wages probably average 100 per cent higher than in that pre-war year, 1913.
 Steel rails are reduced ten dollars a ton, the largest reduction of any product, yet this price is 60 per cent above the pre-war level. Tin plate and sheet prices are from TT per cent to 98 per cent above the pre-war level.
 The government will be very large buyer of rails, for the railroads must have them. For years steel rails sold at BPS per ton; higher than this only for certain specified qualities. The new price is $45 to SAT per gross ton.
 Apparently all but the high cost producers are satisfied with the prices so established, in spite of the high labor cost, and that is undoubtedly the real reason underlying last weeks advances in United States Steel com mon stock, and in some of the stocks of sister concerns, also low cost pro- ducers.

PROTECTING THE CITIZEN
 AGAINST HIMSELF.

There is at last a real movement underway to curb the "get-rich- quick" shark and to protect the citi- zen with money, against himself. The city man who brides himself over his smartness in refusing to buy "goid bricks" or to benefit through bets on horse races, where the swindlers al- lege tapped wires, giving early infor- nation of results, and who thinks he knows crooked roulette wheel when he sees it, falls and falls hard for some new swindle for which a new bait is used, or rather the same old bait of getting something for noth ing" so camoufaged as to deceive.
 It has not been the country man alone who has exchanged his Liberty alonen who has exchanged his Liberty Bonds for alleged stocks or bonds, to his great financial hurt. The city man has done his full share of it.
 Now the treasury, the Liberty Loan and War Saving organizations, the Federal Trade Commission and the Capital Issue Committee have all combined to send out to the news papers, reading matter which shall deter the holder of Liberty Bonds from exchanging them for the multi tude of flake" securities which have been created for no other purpose.
 Some of the literature, so far turn ed out, could be criticized as in bad taste, if nothing else, but some of it may appeal to the man who likes lurid word pictures.
 Here are some extracts from one of the documents:
 Are you on the sucker list ?'' "You may be on it simply because you bought Liberty Bonds, but it is up to you to get off at your first oppor- tunity"
 Government bureaus estimate that the American people pay out $500,- 000,000 per annum to support worth less stock schemes-thin air"
 "'The Capital Issues Committee after searching inquiry, concludes that never before has Wildcat security practice been so fragrant from coast to coast as today"
 "The brand of stock swindler to- day will tell the owner of Liberty Bonds that he is a patriot, but his company is willing, as an accommo- dation to accept Liberty Bonds in ex- change for securities which are posi- lively guaranteed to bring from 10 to 500 per cent in dividends within a brief period
 Those who are approached by this class of alleged security sellers are invited to send to the Federal Trade Commission at Washington, the literature which is handed out, with the name and home address of the alleged salesman.
 This particular piece of literature concludes: Lets keep our loose change at home"
 It is hard enough matter for the average man to select stocks or bonds which will continue to yield to him good interest, hard even when the best judges of such things are con suited before purchases are made and their judgment followed, because in- herent to every security, other than

PULASKIANS AWAIT
 BOARD ACTION
COMMITTEE HAS NO DEFINITE REPORT BUT PROBABILITIES ARE IN FAVOR OF PROPOSED SCHOOL.

Although no definite action of the Little Rock School Board in regard to the building of a Junior High School on Pulaski Heights has as yet been announced, residents of the Heights are confident that a success ful result will be gained in favor of the proposed school from the meeting with the School Board last Saturday night of a special committee of prominent Pulaskians.
 The committee was selected Friday night at large and enthusiastic meeting held at the Episcopal parish house, Woodlawn avenue and Ash street. The meeting was caused by rumors that Pulaski Heights might have to wait another two or three years before securing a High School. Two years ago the residents of the Heights voted in favor of a ten-mill tax to be used in building the school, but because of the war, the Capitol Issues Committee at Washington re- fused permission for the sale of the bonds.
 Forceful arguments for the prompt building of the school, now that war restrictions are over, were presented by a number of men and women speakers at the mass meeting. All present agreed that the frame build ings, which have been constructed alongside the schools to care for the overflow of pupils, are inadequate, be- ing too hot in summer and too cold in winter. A petition containing TOO signatures was drawn up and present. ed to the School Board members Saturday night by the committee, as an additional argument in favor of the school.
 The members of the committee are as follows:
 Alderman John B. Streepey, chair man; z. B. Curtis, Rabbi Louis Witt, Moorhead Wright, George Firmin, Preston Pfeifer, Ashley Cockrill, A. L. Hopkins, c. G. Price, W. s. Leake, E. o. Bagley, Hugh D. Hart, S. R. Farris, H. w. Anderson, W. w. Shep- herd, E. E. Moss, Sam Cochran and B. B. Wright.
