SAFETY. A HABIT

Safety First is a law of common chances. Safety is a habit, and, like all habits, when once acquired they become a part of our life and we find it easier and more efficient to do things safely than any other way. As we all know, a habit, good or bad, when once acquired becomes a part of our being, and lire, so it is with the Safety Habit.
 The primary essential of the Safety habit is to THINK before acting. In other words, by deliberate forethought to plan our course we learn that the greatest efficiency and the greatest good can be obtained. Chance taking too much hurry and lack of thought are responsible for a great majority of our accidents. Therefore, learn to THINK first, and thus acquire the Safety Habit.
 Why don't you get the Safety First habit?
 Why not take Safety home with you, to your work, on the street, everywhere? Why not look about you every day, pernaps some nails sticking up in board banana peel on the street or some other unsafe condition, you might easily remedy. It is ones duty to constantly be on the look out for such conditions, and to remedy them or to report them to be remedied
 Why don't YOU get the Safety habit?

What Our Tests Show

We run tires at our factory ten million miles a year to make these service tests.
 These are radical tests. Tires are run con- stantly, night and day, and ''nder heavy load. We want quick comparisons.
 On our testing machines Miller Cords average 15,OoO miles, and Fabrics about half that. '
 But these are not mileage records. We

ENDORSE NORTH AND SOUTH STATE HIGHWAY

The Graham Guardian, published at Stafford, heartily approves the sugees- ton of The Daily International regard ing the making of road rom Doug las north via Wilcox and Bowie to the Gila river in Graham county and thence via Safford, Clifton, Springer vile. St. Johns and Holbrook to the Grand Canyon, a state highway. This would be the most popular road in the state. :t would pass through the White Mountains, where may be found abundance of wild game, bear, deer, turkey and where fish abound in abun- dance in the mountain streams along the way Along this route good road is being constructed from Clifton to Springerville in Apache County, also there is a good road from Stafford to Clifton, link in the state highway going through the state east and west from the New Mexico line at Duncan to Yuma via Phoenlx. Graham county is now arranging to build a road south from Stafford to the Cochise County line north of Bowie. Cochise County is now building on the road east from Wilcox to Bowie and it is expected to reach the Graham County line during the present year.
 Some work is now being done on the Central Highway between Douglas and Wilcox, but there is yet much work. to be done on this road to make it a good one. There is every reason why federal aid should be available on this road and on the work to be done between Springerville and Hol- brook If this route is converted into
 state highway then the 75 per cent state tax fund may De utilized in it's construction and maintenance.
 Commenting on the suggestion of the Daily International about this propos- ed north and south state highway the Graham Guardian says:
 "The International has made a splendid suggestion for this state high way. All that Graham county would have to do would be to build the high way to the Cochise county line. It would certainly be most popular road and will undoubtedly be accomplished by our highway commission

"I wish to praise. Dr. LeGear's Poultry Prescription to Poultry Raisers. I have 2S hens and had no eggs from them for over 4 months.

 Dr. LeGear's advice and a few pennies wisely spent have made lay CTS out of loafers. You can obtain the same results. Get a package of Dr. LeGear's Poultry Prescription from your dealer. Use it as directed. It is tonic which builds up the strength and vitality uf hens, witt out overstilnulating or injuring the egg producing orgahs.

Why Mileage Varies

A Cord Tire gives vastly greater service than Fabric Tire.
 An oversize tire will vastly excel a tire. that is undersize. Care, load and roads affect tire service greatly.
 Millers are uniform tires. That is a major reason for their supremacy. But uniform tires will vary with conditions.

 These are very pleasing. But we don't want users in general to expect miracles from Millers.

SMALL AMOUNT SNOW
IN MAINE WOODS

Bangor, Jan. 1.-Scarcity Of snow
in the woods of Maine has been a
notable feature in the States great
numbering business this year. In the
eastern part of the State there has
been about five on six inches while
last year at this time the depth of
the snow exceeded, in many in
stances, several feet.
1t is a great year fog the numbering
business and though the lack of cold
weather in the early days of the sea-
son prevented the freezing of boys,
streamlets, ETC.. it is Leheved that
this has been eliminated as a diff
Guilty and also that snow will come
in time for the hauling.
There are at the present time about
2b, 900 men at work in the woods OF
Maine. Conditions were never bet
ter for all around numbering.
Years ago, the Penobscot led the
world in saw logs RATED on its wa
tiers and in those days 80 or 40 mil
lions of logs were RATED down. This
year, while only two or three millions
will come down, there will be q great
increase afforded by the number Of
pulp wood logs which viii come
down. Over on the Kennebec. con-
diticns are proving that the river is
about equal now with the Penobscot.

died on Dec. q. after a short illness.
On the same day it was reported that
the Jean Somerville was adrift in
the Gulf Of Mexico, with the captain
dead. The cutter Taliapoosa was
sent out in search for her. it being
the opinion of seafaring men that
no one on the schooner was capable
Of navigating her. They were very
much mistaken. though, for as soon
as her husbands illness assumed n
critical stage. Mrs. Dram took charge
and. hampered by what she termed in
her message a miserable crew." she
succeeded in bringing the Somerville
to Pensacola bar.
She made every effort to reach
port without aid of other craft, but a
north wind sprung UP and so she de-
cided to signal for help. Then it was
that the tugs went to the rescue.
