Willow Springs There is prob;~bly 110 town along

the Frisco lines that can boast of a more attractive or inviting entrance than IVillow Springs, Mo., Ozarlc Division.

The reproduction herewith sho\vs

this entrance, leading from the Frisco Degot u p Center Street.

The fountain and walks were con- structed by the Frisco, and the large electric sign, "Wclcome," was con- stl'r~cled by the Comn~ercial Club.

The work of constructing the walk and fountain was in charge of Thomas Protiva, nrho for thirteen years was connected with the lWsco's B. $ B. Departn~ent, serving eight years as bridge t 'ore~~lan. Mr. Protiva, who no doubt will be re~ncmbered by many "old-time" Frisco men, is now in the hardware business.

i t nseless. I'rom e s p e r i e ~ ~ c e it has been found

that by driving a tack in one end of each handle and h a ~ ~ g i n g i t u p with ;t string, the w a r p i ~ ~ g can be pre- vented. Try it.

Safety Hints BRAKEAIXN.

Employes, especially those in train service, get careless. They nlny bc likened somewhat to the old German soldier who fougl1t " n i t Seigel," who had a large cl~unk of flesh tor11 from his limb by a piece of shell duiting some battle. IVhen aslcetl liow he Celt a t the time, he replied: "It h ~ r r t a lit- tle, but I didn't care."

In a great inally i ~ ~ s t a n c e s that is what is the matter v i t h so mauy rail- road employes-the); get careless and insensible to the dangerous occwpation which they are following.

JIen have been seen to run I~e t~vecn cars while in 1notio11, turn both angle cocks or pull a pin to make a cut. "This is all right if there is a brake- beam to stand on,'' says one of our River and Cape Division brakeman; "iC there isn't, I wait for the train t.o stop, for t.here might he something between the rails I co111tl fall over aud be seriously injured or killed."

Trainmen should make it a rule to always try the grab-iron 011 the top of a car before pullirig~themselves 1111, as it might give w ~ y and result in serious injury, A sood plai~, wlien get t i~ig on top of n car, is to grab hold of t h e edge of the car, at. the same time try- ing the grab-iron. This is an excellent safeguard.

And again, every bri~lteman should make himself a committee of one, al- ways being on the alert. for things liable to cause injury not only to liini- self b r~ t to anyone, reporting them, and i f necessary by wire.

Be careful about. rnnning-boards and nails that a r e sticking up on them, and above all things, wear n good pair of shoes. You may have a pair of shoes on with a morn-out sole and in going

Courtesy (3. \V. BLAIR, Agent, AIcXab, Ark. Nore or less unfriendly feeling be-

tween railroad companies and the general public has ~ I w a y s existed. This is partly due to the way local agents have dealt with patrons of the roads.

Railroad companies suffer more in- jury by having in service a crabbed, selfish agent a t a good business point than through any other source.

I t is the duty of each and every agent in the service of the IWsco to hold all the business he has and use every effort to secure more. Tlie best way to accomplish this is to t reat our patrons with courtesy. If we a re asked by them for information, we should make every endeavor to fur- nish same, no matter how busy me ?,re a' the time, for i f we put if off until we get time we may lose their business, which means money lost for the company. There is nothing that will increase business and make more friends than courtesy.

No matter how small R ~nan ' s bnsi- uess is, it should be given the same attention as the man whose busii~ess a ~ n o u ~ i t s to several carloads a month.

Show yo~u ' patrons you appreciate their business and they will appre- ciate doing business with you.

Don't think because you keep ug your daily reports and send in a nice clean report a t the end of each month that you are doing all that is required of you. You may be losing bnsiness for the company every day. Business is what it takes to ruIi n railroad, and business is what the company wants.

Let us treat our patrons n i th cour- tesy and we will make friends ant1 nloney for the Frisco.

(:me that makes the worker anxious and nervous, that makes the move of the 11a11tl or root r~ncerti~in, because the worker IKIS not tanght his brain to guide his work, is too often the cause of a careless slip which results in an accident.

of the Xew Shops. Springfield, 310. The p;rth, which is of rolled cinder.;.

is now complctetl. It runs from Broad Street to the S e w Shops, a tlistancr of

bread-winner, and we workmen are the least able to stand the loss of time c:ll~setl by sickness or accident.

Your s u p ~ o r t of the Safety First movement means the forming of one of the best accident insl~rance com- panies for ra~lroad men ever devised. ICach individual is ;I director and policgholder. That protects himself and his family. And to practice Safety First is practicing the real fraternal spirit. of man to nlan and means to the well and happy what the Red Cross nleans to the flooded and storm- stricken city.

You respond nobly to those amicted by these disasters and others that so often hefall the railroad man, and when you understand Safety First you will respond before the disaster in the same spirit that you always have re- sponded after the disaster. What prompts Inan to these noble acts? Ilollars and cents'? A t l l o ~ ~ s a ~ ~ d times no. 1\11 t,he past noble deeds of man I~ave been prompted by the best that was in him and never b y the blinding greed for Inoney.
