cate is enabling both publications to

sion, consumers will be entitled to a

!" STOP. LOOK, LISTEN

Grade crossings almost daily
take their toll of human life, which
seems to be held cheaply by the per-
sons whose carelessness is respon-
sible for the tragedies. That there
Is no excuse for collisions between
railroad trains and motor cars on
crossings is belief strengthened by
the circumstances attending nearly
every accident OF this kind. The
rule may have few exceptions, but
they are very small in comparison
with the distressingly large number
of fatalities suffered. Every driver
of a motor car knows that when he
travels a highway he will encounter
railroads and will cross their tracks.
He also knows that a heavy train,
running rapidly, can not be stopped
as easily as motor car and that it
should be given the right of way at
all times. This puts the RESPONSE
bility upon the motorist, where it
belongs, and it Is an easy RESPONSE
bility il ordinary care Is taken in
the operation of motor car.
"On the country roads and the
highways approaching railroad
crossings warning signs are placed
sufficiently distant from the tracks
to permit the motorist to slow down
or to stop. The motorist who does
slow down, who looks and listens,
and only proceeds when he knows
positively that the road across the
track is clear, runs little or no risk
whatever. II he takes the added
precaution to make sure that his car
has sufficient momentum to carry
1t over the tracks without stopping,
il can be said that he faces no haz-
ard whatever. 1t seems that these
observations are easy enough for
anyone to make, and 1t also seems
that, since they do protect life and
property, every driver would be very
sure to make them. In nearly every
case of accident on railroad cross
ings, the driver has failed to stop,
look and listen. 1t cannot be any
thing but carelessness that causes
driver to steer motor car across a
railroad track without looking to
see whether a train is approaching.
"a successful driver of a motor
car who has never been in anacci-
dent of any kind, and who had driv-
en- for many years, explained his
success by saying that he always
drove in such a way that he could
not be surprised by other traffic.
II he approached street crossing,
an intersection of roads, ,or a rail-
road track. he always held his car at
speed that would make 1t possible
for him to stop before he reached
the danger point. That plan is sim
pie, easy and sensible. II all motor
car drivers adopted It, accidents
would be reduced to a minimum"

LARGE CROWDS AT u
REVIVAL MEETINGS
EVANGELISTIC PARTY is GIVEN
SPLENDID SUPPORT BY MEM
BEERS AND OUTSIDERS.

The revival meetings now in pro-
gress at the Methodist church con-
tinue to grow in interest daily. The
second week of the religious cam
paign is now reached and from all
appearances there is increasing in
terest with each succeeding service.
Tremendous crowds have heard
the evangelist, Rev. o. G.. Orcutt, and
the universal opinion is that he is
preaching the old gospel in a way
that is meeting with favor from all
classes of people. The church .peo-
pie in one group are delighted with
the manner in which he presents the
message and the non-church people
in the other group are much inter-
ested in the plan of salvation so
clearly presented by the speaker. All
are unanimous in their opinion that
Rev. circuit is sincere. The lack of
sensational methods is one feature
OF the revival that is welcomed by
one and all.
Last Sunday the church was pack
ed to its utmost capacity. The evan
gelist had special message and
there was unmistakable evidence
that many in the audience were un-
der conviction. A direct appeal for
converts has not yet been made, but
when it is made there is much to
convince one that there will be many
trail hitters."
There was no preaching service on
Monday night, Rev. circuit going to
Des Moines for the day, but he re-
turned Tuesday afternoon, and re-
CARELESS of the inclement weather,
the church was comfortably filled.
This week appears to be a week of
specials, Tuesday night was ''Busi-
ness Mems" night, the center section
of the church being reserved for
them. Last night was Lodge
Night" and tonight will be High
School Night" Friday evening will
be Patriotic Night" being Armis-
tice Day, and Saturday evening will
be Sunday School Decision" night.
Both Tuesday and Wednesday
nights large crowds awaited them
selves of hearing the evangelist and
no doubt tonight the high school will
be well represented A special fea-
ture of the Friday night meeting will
be that the American Legion, G.. A.
R., w. r. c., and all other patriotic
organizations will attend the service
in a body.
The song service is one of the
pleasing features of the meeting.
Under the able direction of Prof. A.
S. Hueser the large chorus choir is
furnishing excellent music. The
message in song is always appreci-
ated and appeals oftentimes when
preaching fails. Prof. Hueser has q
pleasing, well-trained voice. His
solo work is exceptionally good
The church membership Is rallying
to the support of Rev. Shenton In a
manner that will bear much fruit in
the last days OF the campaign.
Miss HARRIET Laney, the deacon
ess, is doing her full share in Great
ing interest in the meetings. Her
work with the ladies of the church
Is highly commendable. as is also
that of the Booster Choir"
From now until the close of the
meetings things are going to happen
at the Methodist church. Church
people of all denominations are Civ
ing the campaign their hearty sup
port, and with such a united effort
there can be no question as to the
ultimate result.

FARM HOME DESTROYED

The farm home Of Myron Davis
burned to the ground yesterday af-
ernoon about two o'clock. All of the
furniture down stairs was saved. but
the contents of the upstairs we're
consumed.
Just how the fire caught Is not
known, but 1t is thought that II
started from a defective chimney.
Mr.. Davis was at home when the fire
was discovered. Neighbors soon
came to the scene but the flames had
gained such Roadway that 1t was i'm
possible to save the building. The
adjoining building escaped. The
Davis farm is located seven and o
half miles north of the city.

requisite in a mother tree Robust
growth and freedom from dead
branches afford a good health certi-
ficate Along with these, known
record for early regular and prolific
bearing is a splendid reinforcement.
When such a tree gives a product Of
good nuts, it stands in the class
worthy of motherhood. Nuts from
such trees give a larger percentage
of strong. thrifty seedlings than seed
nuts from promlscuous gathering. II
is a fact also that those varieties of
pecans originating in the warm coun-
try skirting our Gulf coast become
more hardy when worked on seed
.hgs from our native TeNns trees,
they not only give better resistance to
our winter blizzards, but endure our
summer drouths decidedly better. All
this is natural enough. for our Texas
trees have been seasoned to climatic
extremes for generations, while those
from a warm, humid climate Of equ-
able temperatures and abundant rain
fall are frequently winter killed or
perish from dry seasons in our more
elevated prairie country, especially in
the upper attitudes. This is mention
ed because il is not unfrequently the
case that those intending to plant
nuts make the mistake of buying the
large sorts grown eastward and south
ward. Too often they make the furth-
er mistake of expecting trees grown
from such nuts to come true. such
readers of this journal as may select
seed-nuts for next years planting in
accordance with the suggestions here
submitted may expect safe instruc'
tons for planting in due season.
