WORKMEN'S COMPENSA TION SPREADING. e reorganized our business and enlarged same by adding a full line of building materi al andsup plies about the middle of July. Everywhere else, the prices on building material is advancing. On our market, SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JULY, prices have been declining steadily until now lumber and building material is, cheaper than it has been for a number of years, There must be a reason why prices began to drop about the MIDDLE OF JULY. ASK YOURSELF WHY. R oxooro TOBE TAPP, M anager. Workmen's Tomnensation iegisla tion will necessarily lead to an in crease in the r sported number, of ac-. cidents, particularly those of less se-1 rious character, involving a compar-! atively short incapacity for work ; but it may also be expected to bring; about ; notable reductions in the actual num-: ber of accidents by causing the, instal lation of accident-prevention applian ces. An important section of the bulle tin is devoted to the progress of re porting and classifying accidents, in itiating for Ine purpose of securing uniformity of practice in the reports of the various states More than half the states have adop ted workmen's compensation laws and it may bfi expected that before very many more years the idea of com pensation fc. Industrial accidents will become universal throughout the Uni ted States. " Don't kid about safety; you may be the goat. "It doesn't cost anything to be cour teous" is an old saying. But it does not pay (to sftake hands with danger, just to show you are a good sport. While busy making yourself safe, take a little time to make your fellow workman safe, too. Look before you leap, "Safety First." Don't get hurt first and then try safety. Try "Safety First" and you won't get hurt. It is easier to try "Safety First" than to try to walk with crutches. An ounce, of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Let us prevent acci dents and avoid the necessity of com pensation for them. So long as our eyes are the windows of our souls we may all look out for ourselves. By the use of goggles we can save risk of not being able to do this. Every man is the sole proprietor of his own shoes. But he wants to keep on the good side of safety to be able to wear a pair. The man who will not listen to safe ty rules, may have to listen to the sound of the ambulance gong. A bed at home ls worth two in a hospital. Employees must not trust to the care exercised by another wThen their own safety is involved. DANGEROUS STOVE POLISH SAFETY BY CO-OPERATION ffjf never need repairs, are inocpen- ffgS Slfc- abort the roof" iKwM Ty y11? Ie-k burn cer i 1mEs5 IIBlflllK or re? like wood shines, nor nO rlllHlljp crack like slate: ! For Sale by Long, Bradsher & Co, Well said: "We must have co-operation in the great work of safety. Not, only is this true of the men in the or ganizations that are giving the best that arc in them to the work at hand, but the same spirit should be mani fested bv the safety departments of I the various plants and railroads. 'Safety First,' is something that we should not permit to be commercial ized. Anything that stands for the , conservation of human lives, limbs and happiness is too sacred to be" dragged in the dust of contempt and ridicule or made sport of commercial ized bargains." TYPEWRITER REPAIR 1 STATION A great deal of the work done in these stations is cleaning typewriters, and a common method for doing this is to immerse the machine into a tub or at of gasoline and wash or brush out the parts. Th:, should never be ( allowed ; aside of a building, but should i be done on the etitside or in a room separate from any other and well ven Mated. - Af Saf e Investment Perhaps you have saved up a few hun dred dollars which wish to invest where the principal will be absolutely secure, al ways available, and at the same . time pay you a fair rate of interest. Deposit your money in this bank, taking an interest bearing CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIE Your principal will be well secured and subject to your demand when you need it. The interest is more than you would receive on a Government Bond and the monev will be just as safe. 1 is We Pay 4 Per Gent On Time Deposits In a special bulletin on "Benzine Stove Polish," the ' fire marshal of Wisconsin says that many benzine stove polishes are manufactured of practically the same ingredients, the only difference being in the name, and that all the polishes are equally haz ardous. In the past eight years there have been more than 400. serious acci dents in the United States on account of the use of the benzine stove polish compound. Benzine polish is usually found on the shelves of the grocery stores which have as their customers the poorer class of people. This would appear to be due to the fact that the over-busy housewife, having in most cases no domestic help, is constrain ed by force of circumstance? to econ omize on time in every possible way. The benzine causes the polish to dry quickly, and this fact, of course, en tailing less work, "tecommends it to this class of householders. We would caution all householders to use only fire proof stove polish, whether in liquid, powder or paste form. All stove polishes other than benzine polish can be safely used, and just as satisfactory results can be ob tained, especially if a- few additional ninutes are given to this duty. Aiid fs it not worth our while to devote a little attention to this matter and thereby save this enormous sacrifice of human life? In short, is it not good to preach that it is better to be safe than sorry?

A HINT TO THE FARMER Thirty-one buildings at Youngstown, Ohio, were condemned recently by the attaches of the State Fire Marshal's" office, co-operating with the city offi cials and residents in th annual spring !ean-up of the city, It Is ex pected fifty more hiuldings will be or dered torn down in a few days. Do not neglect to plough a fire guard around your buildings and see that it is kept free from weeds and grasses. By using this precaution you may save a preventable loss. Allow no one to smoke around your buildings. Do you not know that the fire wasteJ throughout the country has reached a proportion 4that the people should unite and give some attention to fire prevention and thus lessen the loss? Cleanliness and reduction of the fire waste will bring results; won't you try and help and also get your neigh bors interested. WHO PAYS THE COST? Knowledge in fire prevention means the saving of life and property. Don't that appeal to you? If not, there'must be something lacking. What is it? You can do your part, no matter' how little that may be. It keeps and means encouragement to others and helps re duce the fire waste, which means a saving to the individual. You are tax ed to pay the fire losses of others. You may think you are not, but as a matter of fact you are, and you can readily learn ' this truth if you will study the fire loss in your own local! tj Mutual Insurance Journal.
