MARRIED MEN
MORE CARELESS
THAN SINGLE ONES

Married factory workers are more
CARELESS than those who are single.
According to statistics compiled by
the Safety First department Of the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber company,
1874 married men were injured last
month compared to 12S single men
who met with accidents.
Exeprts failed to state whether or
not there is a psychological reason
for this condition Fcaetious bachelors
who compose IS percent of the per-
sonnet. declare that the married men
have greatr responsibilities and moro
things to think about-thus dividing
attention and destroying concentra-
ton on their work. They assert that
matrimony is distracting and natur-
ally causes absent mindedness-th
cause of many accidents.
Another interesting fact established
by safety first experts is that the per-
centage of accidents is greater among
foreign-born workers. Approximately
10 per cent of Goodyear employees
were born abroad, yet in one month
they furnished 20 per cent of the total
number that met with accidents.
AS the result of a safety first cam
paign extending over a period of
three months, accidents were cut 30
per cent and compensation cases so
per cent
Close tabulation of accidents show
that most accidents come as the re-
suit Of carelessness on the part of
workmen. Failure to observe safety
first rules sends the greatest number
to the hospital, while negligence of
fellow workers accounts for consid-
cradle number.
The safety first campaign is be-
ing strongly waged at Goodyear and
the number of accidents is decreasing
monthly.

through. comparative methods as
preached and taught by the parish
agent, the agricultural colleges and
the experiment sttions. If there
should be dollar of profit gained by
well directed and public spirited
fair association. by reason of large
attendance, that dollar goes right
back into the cash drawer of the fair
and is spent next year on improved
conditions for a better show place.
The fair is intended to be just as
much of an educational institution as
our schools, and if YOU will take the
same personal pride and interest in
the fair as you do in school you will
learn the true vale of the fair"

MAKES APPEAL FOR
AGRICULTURE FAIRS

An appeal for wider interest in
agricultural fairs, the season fol
which is fast approaching, has been
issued by A. A. Ormsby, exhibit spe
cialist of the State University exten
sion division
Says Mr., Ormsby: Fairs are the
forerunners of popular agriculture,
education. They are the annual meet
ing places Of the farmer, the banker
and the business man, and. the soon
er we get these three interests to
realize the value of tn fair, the faster
more fairs will spring up and the
quicked better agricultural, livestock
and business interests will respond.
Fairs are the show places of the re.
suits of the past years achievements
by the farmer, the county agent and
the agricultural college and expert
ment station. These three units are
now working comparatively in over
one half Of Louisiana, and wherever
you find this condiction prevailing
you will find well directed effort to
hold parish or district fair as the
show window Of their united efforts.
Don't go to the fair this year and
say: Gee whiz. I've got better corn
than that at home!' See that your
crops and livestock get othe fair.
Realize that it is your show window,
and not a selfish enterprise conducted
by few individuals. If you want
help in getting your exhibits to the
fair, take the matter up with the fair
officials, the parish agent or write to
the Office of exhibits, agricultural ex-
tension Division. L. S. u, Baton
Rouge, and you will be made a party
to the fair and an exhibitor.
"The fair is what we make it. 1t
is not a money. making scheme. as
some of youthink On the contrary.
1t is money loser, and if it were not
for state, county and private appro-
priations Of subscriptions, it would be
an utter failure. Fairs are often look
ed upon as places of amusement. Wen
they are, and they should be to a GER
tain extent, for they are the annual
meeting places of thosands of our
farmers and fellow citizens. But they
represent typical rural organization,
as well, because they strive to better
conditions by stimulating greater agri-
cultural and livestock production

looking for silverware, but all the
available papers and documents were
opened. In this respect the burglary
resembled the one committed a few
days ago at the Ballou house on West
