DECREASE IN ACCIDENTS.
Safety First Committee of Santa Fe
Does Good Work.

The number of accidents occurring
on the Santa Fe has been decreased
thru the organization of the entire
personnel of the road into a safety
first committee with every employe a
member, according to F. C. Fox, gen.
eral manager. Poor freight equip
ment is charged by Mr.. Fox as being
one of the leading causes of accidents
at the present time.
The amateur bum is the one who
usually is killed or injured on the rail-
road, Mr.. Fox said. If one lives long
enough to become a professional bum,
he must learn a whole lot about the
physics of moving trains, and thereby
saves his skin many times.

KNEADING BREAD.

A friend sends us the following
clipping, with the suggestion that the
editor Of The Courier may be In a
situation much like the editor Of a
North Dakota paper when lie wrote
recently as follows:
1T is reported that II Of the fas'
tidious married ladies Of this town
kneads bread with her gloves on. This
incident may be somewhat peculiar
but there are others. The editor Of
this paper needs bread with his shlrt
on, he needs bread with his pants on
and unless some of the delinquent
subscribers Of this old Rag Of Free,
dom pony up before long, lie will
need bread without a d. thing
cn-and North Dakota is no Garden
Of Eden in the winter time"
Fortunately for us, however, this
bit OF humor Is not applicable to us.

~inaugurated the policy Of strict ad-
herence to the cash-in-advance sys-

paid-in-advance subscriptions that is
largely in excess of the list we car
ried under the old credit system. The
only contentious we now have with
our patrons is over old accounts on
Il books for years. When u sub
scribers now overlook tho renewing
OF their subscriptions, their papers
stop coming to them, and they real
lie that one year ago, or six months
ago, or three months ago, the sub
scription was given in, and that ends
the transaction. There is no "bad
feeling" no dispute. 1t is a simple
cash transaction that pleases all par
ties to it, and there is no dad taste"
In anybody's mouth.
We may yet "need bread without
a thing on" but when this day of
misfortune overtakes us we will not
be in position to charge our misfor-
tunes to our present subscribers.

in n gown Of French blue crepe, es-
pecially becoming to her petite style.
With this was worn a hat Of black

roses. Master Richard Greer DuPree,
the ring bearer, was the center Of

ing with the Wilderness of the Easter
lily which he held with so much
grace and dignity.
Next came the groom, with his
best man, Martin F. Avery.
The bride, who was given in mar
riage by her father, M. D. McClair,
was never lovelier. With her coat
suit Of midnight blue was worn a
blouse OF sand G%eorgette crepe, her
hat a becoming spring model Of blue
straw, with flower trimming, the cor
sage Of orchids and valley lilies. At
ter the nuptials had been read, a de-
licious aalad course and punch was
served.

by Mrs. Leonard Greer McClair. Serv-
ing punch were Misses Musa Hardy
