The Union Pacific has just issued figures showing that during the year 1914 there was an alarming increase in deaths and injuries resulting from trespassing upon their right-of-way. During 1913, there were 37 deaths and 48 injuries; while in 1914 these figures have been raised to 48 killed and 90 injured. A small proportion of these acci dents occurred to the class known as “hoboes,” the balance to careless users of the right-of-way. This proves that "the short cut along railroad tracks” is dangerous in the extreme, not only to school children but to working men who walk to work. * Any amount of caution exerted by railroad employes will not materially decrease the number of accidents oc curring to trespassers, and it would seem that the only procedure that will shorten the list of fatalities is for the state legislatures to pass laws that will absolutely prohibit persons other than railroad employes from us ing the railroads’ right-of-way. The readers of this paper would be astounded upon hearing of a single accident resulting in the death of 48 persons and the injury of double that number, and the accident would im mediately be investigated and, if pos sible, the cause removed. While these accidents to trespass ers are scattered through a number of states and occur at separated periods, the total result is just as ap- j palling. The responsibility rests upon 1 the general public and the State Leg islatures and no effort should be spared in taking the necessary pro cedure to have this unnecessary lose of life and limb entirely wiped ouL LOUP CITY FLOUR Why buy Flour shipped here by outside mills when you can get Loup City White Satin Flour for less money, and every sack guaranteed.

Always up to the minute in having suitable goods to fit the occasion, E. P.

Eisner, the jeweler, has a unique and pleas ing ad which will interest the graduates and their friends. And don t forget to read the supple ment.

ADVERTISING George L. Williams, advertis ing mananger of the Studebaker company, firmly believes that the newspapar, whether it be metro politan daily or local daily or weekly, is one of the first media, if not the first, in value to the na tional advertiser. Having once established a trade name, the news paper offers a great opportunity to cash in, as it localizes to the consumer the particular product. It tells him just where he can buy it in his own town. It links the national name with the name of a reliable local dealer. It brings the thing home in a way which suggests immediate action. When advertising brings a man into the dealer's store or into his garage it has achieved its purpose, and the newspaper, if it is backed up by the right kind of publicity, 1 believe, has wonderful value in this direction. I am willing to say that there are very few adver tising campaigns indeed that can afford to neglect daily and weekly newspapers. I think I might go even farther and say that if lack of appropriation renders curtail ment necessary, the newspaper should be the last thing eliminated from any campaign.—Binghamton (N. Y.,) Press.
