Lions Punished
by Kurtz & Co.
The O’Neil] Lions stumbled
Sunday against the Niobrara
Towners on the Niobrara floor,
49-63, chiefly because a fellow
named Kurtz belonged to the Ni
obrara team.
A lofty, 6-foot 6-incher, he got
started late but when he got in
to gear he seldom missed from
any angle on the floor. Mr. Kurtz
personally accounted for 31
points. He is a native Sioux City
an.
Niobrara led the O’Neill ama
teurs 13-<12 at the first stanza, 30
26 at intermission and 43-35 at
the end of the third

4400 FARMERS KILLED
300,000 INJURED
DON'T "CULTIVATE" ACCIDENTS
ON YOUR FARM
t 0
A field half plowed—a furrow left unturned —work stopped by accident!
To the farmer, working against time and weather, delay can mean the difference
between a crop and no crop, a good year or a lean one. So accidents have no place in his
schedule; they cost money, delay production—and the growing season keeps rolling
along. *.
Yet, farming ranks third most hazardous in eight major industries. Think of it, while
the death rate for all industry is 29 per 100,000 workers, in agriculture it b 55 pet
100,000! One farmer in every 15 is injured on the job! Total—-4400 killed, 300,000
disabled by injury every year.
The wise farmer knows where his hazards are—and avoids diem. Falls, machinery an4
animals account for most accidents down on the farm. Thdr coe|—175,000,000k
^ * •
Yet, they’re so easy to prevent. Just a little caution is a& k takes.
Don’t "cultivate” accidents and losses! Instead, "cultivate” safety and sutcesd v
