NeW Safety Legion

A new nationwide movement
to stop the needless killing and
injury of thousand Of young
American children by automobile
accidents is now under way by
the Safety Legion Of America,
with national headquarters in
Chicago.
The aim of the organization,
founded by Carl T. Habegger,
president of the Winner House of
Berne, Indiana, is to teach all
young boys in America the ten
rules of safety, in new and
practical way so that each boy
will always! follow them.
Eddie Cantor, Lowell Thomas,
Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Hoffman,
Harvey Firestons, j., Katherine
Lenroot, Paul King, Edsel Ford
DIR. James A West, and other
nationally known persons have
been invited to be on the hon
orary board.
The Safety Legion is a club for
all boys from 2 to IA years old.
Every boy who joins can wear
the special Legion suit for school
and play, with the safety emblem
on the arm and cap. The en-
blem is symbolic of the ten rules
of safety which each boy learns
and must follow Rewards will
be given to boys who live up to
the legion goals and help prevent
accidents. Boys in any school or
neighborhood form their own
squad, elect cadet officers. and
plan their own safety activities.
A handsome plaque is given to
each boy who organizes a safety
squad of boys.
In this way, safety and proven
ton of automobile accidents really
mean something to a youngster.
With children conscious of safety,
the horrible toll of 100000 injur-
ed and 7,400 killed in 1897 be-
tween 2 and IA years old is
bound to decrease. Boys may

Spring and sprouts may seem a
long time ahead, yet all farmers
know how quickly the days pass
by and bring the busy Spring
season around again Also they
know how little time there will
be to do anything then except
strictly routine work.
Consequently, whatever can be
done now that will help insure
materially Increased income for
the 1889 harvest it is a good thing
70 the community, for it to be
done without delay. One of these
opportunities is treaking the fields
to a liberal application of high
grade, finely ground rock phos-
phate.
Recently it has come to be
realized that winter and early

Naturally, the earlier the young

The Race

A marathon runner likens life
to a foot race. st. Paul in his
letters of nearly two thousand
years ago used the same figure
of speech!
Wherefore, seeing we also are
comprised about with so great a
cloud Of witnesses let us lay
aside every weight and the sin
which doth so heavily beset us
and let us run with patience the
race that is set before u.s."
The analogy between a mara
thon and the race of life is, after
all, not so complete as the SINH
lie suggests. Only those run
marathons who choose to do so
for the keen love of it. The hope
of reaching the goal is the incen-
tive and arriving is the reward.
Pheidippides dying at the end of
his marathon found his need in
the shout of the people who ac-
claimed his feat. But for the
most. the race Of life is run with
out high reward.
The pure love of doing is de
MED millions who contribute each
his unidentified and often in
finitesimal part to product
which is wholly impersonal. They
run with patience the race, but
without the cloud of witnesses
without the acclaim of this indis
tinguishable achievement except
by those who are near to them
in like service or dear to them
in their homes.
The failure of SO many who
run, to reach their goal is be
