Driving Errors Cause The
Great Bulk Of All Ser
iOus Accidents.

Four out OF every five automobile
accidents occur ON dry roads in
clear weather. Four out OF every five
automobile accidents involve cars
driving straight ahead.
Here is the statistical proof of
the disregard for every rule Of cour-
tesy and safety that characterizes
the reckless or incompetent motor
list. He constantly overestimates the
safety factors" OF good roads and
modern cars. A straight highway
and clear day act as bait to make
him "open her up'-with the result
that the undertaken gets about 37,-
900 new accounts each year.
A National Safety Council survey
lists the seven most important caus-
es of fatal accidents, in order, as
follows: Exceeding speed limit or
driving too fast for road and wea-
ther conditions; driving on the
wrong side Of the road; disregarding
stop signs and signals; usurping
right of way; cutting in; passing on
hills and curves; failure to signal
for stopping and turning.
D. These driving errors cause the
great bulk of all serious accidents,
end the first is by far the worst.
Every one of them is human error
and every accident they produce
could be prevented If individual dri-
Veps would observe the most ele-
mentary rules of caution and proper
driving.
In conclusion, here is one more
fact you might think over next time
you feel the urge to step on it.: At
20 miles per hour, one accident In
81 is fatal, while at SO or more
miles per hour, one accident in ev-
cry IL produces a corpse.

Fairest Farm Prices

In a period such as the present
the work of the better agricultural
marketing cooperatives becomes
even more than ordinarily valuable

Today prices for all manner OF
commodities are rapidly ductuating.
Market conditions are changing.
Fiscal problems that directly affect
agriculture are In the limelight. The
foreign trade picture is confused.
The marketing cooperatives, with
their expert management and STATS,
are able to keep up with changing
and advise their members
of necessary adjustments that must
be made. BY use of coordinated bar
gaining power, they are able to get
the fairest prices for what their
members sell. They can develop and
