care what men talk of thee. Man looketh on the countenance,
but God on the heart. Man considereth the deeds, but God
weigheth the intentions."
Farm Safety Week
This week, July 21-27 is National Farm
Safety week, and people are being urged to
follow rules for the prevention of accidents that
take a heavy toll annually.
More people were killed by accidents in
farm homes alone last year than were killed in
the great Chicago fire, the sinking of the Ti
tanic, the San Francisco earthquake and fire,
and the Johnstown flood combined.
People do not hear much about the acci
dents that occur in the farm home. Many of
them do not get into the papers. And yet that
is the scene of the greatest number of farm acci
dents. National Safety Council figures indi
cate that nearly 7,500 farm home fatalities oc
cur each year.
There are many suggestions in this week's
advertising columns for observance of safety
rules, to make the farm and farm home safer
places to work and live, and readers are urged
to take note of these suggestions.
Prevent an accident and save a life.
