CROSSING SIGN AT
COUNTY LINE

F. A. Wightman, former superin-
tendent of safety for the Frisco now
located on a farm east Of town, has
not ceased his safety first work. He
was recently instrumental in getting
a sign placed at the county line cross
ing near Globe to call attention to
drivers that there is double track
at that place and that drivers should
watch for trains from each direction.
The sign reads Double Track. Look
out for Trains coming from Opposite
Directions"
Many people do not know that there
is a double track at that place, and
there is danger that driver who
waits for train to pass on the
track next him, may not notice a
train coming from the opposite d.
rection on the other track, and may
drive in front of the approaching
train.

Because there are over SO per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1910. What will be the result?
There is going to be scarcity Of

its high prices and its heavy foreign
populations in the south with its
high percentage of illiterates and its
ever present racial difficulties or in
the wheat and corn fields of the north
or. west with the monotony of long
winters and the never ending rush of
planting and harvesting the grain
crops, knows that in few places in
America can one enjoy good Living
among neighbors who are one
hundred per cent American and have
the diversity of labor and scenery
which are enjoyed here in our own
Ozark country. prices may not he to
our liking, many things in this world
of trouble and sorrow are not as we
would have them. yet upon the: last
Thursday of the month of November,
nineteen hundred and twenty-onG,, we
should all be very grateful for the
many blessings which an all wise
Creator has showered upon u.s.
