SAFETY FIRST
The man wh coined the slogan, "SAFETY FIRST," was a
eenius so was the late H. M. FLAGLER, pioneer of the FLORIDA
EAST COAST RAILROAD. After the terrible freeze in Florida
in 1895 he sent his associate, MR. J. E. INGRAHAM, on a tour
south from ST. AUGUSTINE to find, if possible, a part of FLOR
IDA unaffected by the freeze, as the rest of the state was then as
barren as Vermont in February. Mr. Injrraham found PALM
BEACH COUNTY irreen, luxuriant and beautiful. Citrus trees
were not injured, even the fruit was uninjured. Since that time
FLAGLER and his associates have poured millions into the
"SAFETY FIRST" countyof FLORIDA. Be a wise old owl and
follow SUCCESS for SAFETY.
Mr. Farmer, While You Are In Omaha Call and See Us
It Will Profit You.
Your success will be in our lands. Twenty acres of out iest
Twit and Citrus Fruit lands will produce more net profit than 200
acres There in the north. "FIGURE COST," 200 acres, $40,000; 20
acres of the best Muck Land we own, $3,000, on easy terms.
Fewer farm implements to buy, 365 growing days each year. Fin
test climate on the American continent. Why rent farms? If you
have a moderate capital you can be positively independent in a few
vears close to town, (rood roads, schools, churches, banks and
nackinff houses. The thirteenth biennial report of the Department
of agriculture states that the highest production in Florida is from
Palm Beach County lands.

London Kills Charity
Dogs and Cats with Gas
(Correspondence of The Aeaoclated Prvee.)
London, Dec. 6. In these days
when nearly everybody is giving up
something to the cause of the war,
pet animals have played a prominent
part as a form of war charity. People
nave given their dogs and cats to
charitable institutions to be auctioned
off to raise money for wounded sol
diers. So many unsaleable pets have
been offered as to make them a bur
den to the animal protection so
cieties. At a recent sale many of the cats
and dogs were sold, decrepit and dir
ty that no bids could be obtained for
them, and thry were handed over to

SOME WILL HOT GET
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Postal Service More and More
Restricted as Subsea Cam
paign Progresses.
FEW WILL ENTEE GERMANY
Washington, Dec 11. Women in
mourning garb and men with solemn
faces, waiting in line these davs all
over the United States before postof-
hce windows where toreign money
orders are issued, tell a wordless
story of the sorrowi of war's destruc
tion reaching across the seas to
America.
A third Christmas-time of world
conflict, has seen long lines of happy
folk with holiday spirit at the pros
pect of sending something "home to
the old tolks, turned into silent par
tics of mourners, sending back money
to alleviate suffering and filled with
anxiety and distress with the uncer
tainty of its safe arrival. There is also
the grave uncertainty that when a
gift reaches its destination no one
will be there to receive it.
Little to Germany.
Postal clerks have been quick to
note the change. Veterans in the serv
ice, who have been issujng Christmas
money oraers to an parts ot tne gioDe
for years saj- they no longer hear
eagerly told stories of the gifts the
money was Jo buy. They hear only
hopes that It may arrive safely to
provide food, clothing and fire or,
perhaps, medicine.
ihe line is a little shorter and the
people average much older this year
than formerly. Its decreased numbers
is attributed to the fact that the gov
ernment, despite determined efforts,
is unable to guarantee safe and
speedy delivery of money orders in
the war zone. Old age has taken its
place in line because the sons of many
are now across the seas on the fight
ing fronts.
Great Need Exists.
Through the postal money order
department the United States will be
Santa Claus to far more people of the
Entente Allies than of the Central
Powers this year. Delivery of orders
in England and France has been in
terfered with only slightly. No deliv
ery is being made in Austria, and
German points receive their orders
late, if, indeed, they get them at all.
Virtually no orders are being sent to
Russia, largely becluse Warsaw,
which was the central stMon for the
payment of orders, now is in the war
zone. This situation has affected the
money order receipts in this country
greatly, too, for in former years Rus
sians in the United States led all the
remaining foreign-born citizens in
sending money home at Christmas
time.
Prisoners of war will receive many
money orders this Christmas. This
is particularly true in England, where
delivery is good. By an agreement
made several years ago in a conven
tion of various countries to effect a
postal agreement, it was arranged that ,
orders to prisoners of war should be
transmitted free of charge, and the
United States is living up to the
agreement scrupulously.
Subseas Doing It.
Submarine activities have had much
to do with decreasing the Christmas
business in foreign orders, and if the
total for this year falls below that
for 1915, as it probably will, the un
derseas liners can be blamed for much
of the decrease, according to Third
Assistant Postmaster General Doc(c
ery. "Of course, it is impossible to say
just how .nuch the submarine activi
ties have atfected the money order
business," he said, "but they have cut
it down much."'
Due to this and other causes, the
foreign money order business is in
a chaotic state. It began to fall off
with the beginning of the,war, and
has decreased gradually ever since.
"I attribute its decrease in a great
measure also to many young men
from the foreign countries returning
home to tight at the outbreak ot tne
war. Of course they, prior to their
departure, were regular patrons, for
few of them did not send money
home at Christmas-time, particularly,
and often during other periods of the
year. The older people, who are left
behind, have less money to send."
Send Tons of Money.
With delivery in Italy and Greece
comparatively safe, natives of those
countries are leading all the rest this
Christmas in sending money home.
Alwavs a liberal people at Christmas
time and firm believers in this gov
ernment, as the postal savings ac
counts also show, they are nteraiiy
sending "tons of money" back home

now. Their sums vary from $5 to
$15, postal employes say.
, The postal department is using ev
ery effort to encourage Christmas
sending, although no false hopes of
quick delivery are held out. Supple
mental instructions are ppated in vir
tually every language, including Chi
nese and Japanese, on how to take
out a money order, and they have
been found very useful. The Chinese
Christmas, of course, does not fall on'
the same day as it does in this coun
try, but the Chinese are inclined to
make presents during the American
holidays as well as their own.
Some Suspensions, r
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
come in for a good share of the
Christmas money orders. Most of
their former 'citizens in this country
appear prosperous, it is declared, and
they are liberal at holiday times.
Many persons who desired to send
holiday remembrances to' friends in
Belgium', Egypt, Mexico and Portu
gal, as well as Austria, have been
surprised to learn, recently, that the
money order business has been sus
pended, owing to the fact the United
States has' no "conventions," as pos
tal agreements are called, with them.
The Christmas money order busi
ness usu-lly stops about December 10.
Recovery of funds has been made more
difficult by the war, and claims for un
collected orders now require about
six weeks for settlement.

one sets up that all mankind could
not give one a quite worthy mate.
But there is another alleviation; un
derstanding not onjy that one is mar
ried to somebody else, but also that
somebody else is married to oneself,
and that it is quite as hard for the
other party. There are many excellent
things to be done. Here are a few:
1. Do not open each other's letters.
(For one reason you might not like
the contents.) And try not to look
liberal if you don't even glance at the
address or the postmark.
2. Vary your pursuits, your conver
sation and your clothes. If required,
vary your hair.
3. Tf you absolutely must be sin
cere, let it be in private.
4. (Especially for wives.) Find out
on the honeymoon whether crying or
swearing is the more effective.
5. Once a day say to a wife, "I love
vou." To a husband. "How strong you
"are!" If the latter remark is ridiculous
say, "How clever you are!" for every
body believes that.

Lloyd George Settled Mess a
Year Ago for Quarrelsome
South Wales Laborers.
WANT NEW WAGE SCALE
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Cardiff, Wales, Dec. 5. After a
year of comparative peace labor and
capital are again at loggerheads in
the South Wales coal fields. For
nearly a generation the colliery own
ers and the miners have maintained
an attitude of mutual ill-temper and
suspicion, and war has not been al
lowed to displace their traditional
quarrel. A year ago a five-day (top
page of the mines, on which the
Jjlritish navy largely depends for fuel,
actually took place, and a prolonged
deadlock was only averted by the in
tervention of Lloyd George, who
summarily granted most of the min
ers' demands over the protests of
the owners.
The demands now made by the
miners may be summarized as fol
lows: Immediate concession of a 1 per
cent advance in wages to cover the
increased cost of living.
, An independent audit of the coal
owners' books to show exactly what
are the profits on all classes'of coal
over a long period of years.
' That the financial relation of wages
to profits 'be ultimately arranged so
that the percentage shall be the same
as before the war.
Payment to be made for "small
coal" henceforth on a tonnage rate
to be established by later negotia
tions. That the selling price of coal be
henceforth established by a compe
tent independent authority on a basis
of the standard wage paid.
Peace Far Ahead.
It is evident from this compli
cated and elaborate series of de-
i mands that a settlement must neces
sarily involve protracted negotia
tions. The miners contend that the
IS. per cent wage increase is urgent
and should be granted at once. The
other demands may be taken up more
leisurely before any suitable tribu
nal. One of the most puzzling of the
demands is that which seeks payment
for the so-called "small coal." This
is a new demand and meets with de
termined opposition from the owners.
Hitherto the workmen who received
payment on a tonnage basis so much
for' every ton of coal miner have
been paid only for the large, or first
quality, coal. Every ton of coal
which a miner sent to the surface was
first passed over the screens and only
the, residue after the small coal had
been screened out was weighed and
paid for. Ordinarily a miner who
sent twenty tons of coal to the sur
face would receive payment for min
ing only about seventeen tons, three
tons having passed through the
screens and been discarded as "small
coal." The men now point to the
large incfease in price which the
owners are obtaining for this small
cdal today as compared with the"
price before the war. This price
shows an increase from about 9 shil
lings ($2.25) to nearly 18 shillings

Much More Wages.
In reply to the men's demand for
an immediate increase of 15 per cent
in wages, the owners have made a de
mand for a 10 per cent decrease. The
last dispute was patched up by Lloyd
George a year ago with an award of
a 15 per cent increase, while the own
ers were permitted to add half a
crown (67 cents) per ton to their
wholesale price. The miners now de
clare that the owkers are making a
handsome additional profit out of this
half-crown, and also out of the sale
of the 'small coal" and they claim
their share, on the ground that the
basis of their wages has always been
the selling price of coal. To this the
owners reply that all the expenses of
mining, other than wages, have gone
up, and that some of their mines no
longer pay to work. The balance
sheets of the largest coal companies
in the district, which show' a great
increase of profit during the war, fig
ure prominently in the evidence sub
mitted by the miners.
While feeling in the coal regions
is at high pitch, the attitude of the
country at large is one of undisguised
impatience with any quarrel between
capital and labor at a time when the
energies of the country are so largely
concentrated on war. Wide publicity
has been given in the coal districts
to an editorial in the London Times,
which says:
