' NEW LIFE SAVING SLOGAN The American Railway Association hqs adopted a .slogan that is calculated to’ save the lives of several. hundred Americans annually, that is if the slogan is given the attention it deserves and if the warning it carries is heeded. “CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY” is the slogan and it has to do with highway-railway crossings throughout the country. On class one railways in the United States there are over 251,500 surface highway crossings. To elimi nate all of these in the immediate future is not to be hoped for. They are being removed at the rate of about 450 per year and it is estimated that it would entail a cost of over twelve billion dollars to eliminate all of them. From this it can be seen that other action rather than removal must be sought and that imme diate remedy must be additional care, on the part of the railroads themselves. Eighty per cent of the acci dents yearly now have autolsts involved and with the increased production of automobiles and the mini mum deduction in the number of surface crossings the public must take heed of the warning or the num ber of fatalities will greatly increase rather than de crease. The Committee on the Prevention of Highway Crossing Accidents says in Warning’the public: “The railroads arc making every effort to see that, all employes concerned give special attention to the proper performance of their duties at crossings. - “A train cannot be stopped in a few feet—an auto mobile can. In approaching railroad crossings al ways keep your car under perfect control. “Won’t you do your part and thus by good example assist in reducing the large annual, yet needless loss of life and injury to occupants of automobiles at rail- road-highway crossings by— “1st—Slowing'down when approaching any rail road highway crossings; “2nd—By looking both ways and listening to as certain if a train is approaching; “3rd—By being particularly careful _ where there are two or more tracks, because of trains in opposite direction; . , "4th—By exercising good, conservative judgment at crossings; “6th—In caso of doubt take the safe course and stop before reaching track, “Thereby possibly saving your life and the Jives of your loved ones and at the same time demonstrating to others how to alwayt^— “.CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY.” COMPENSATING MIGRATIONS B. C. Forbes, authority on industry and finances as well as a kuen observer of business conditions gener- aly, is publishing a magazine called for himself. Mr. Forbes, in an interesting article, has taken cognizance of the migration of hundreds of thousands of families to the South, which must produce abounding pros- S erity in those sections. The Influx of'Visitors from le North to this region, was greatest the past season than ever before. The contrast is so great between a blizzard-stricken land and a mild and salubrious cli mate that many will be tempted to remain and make their permanent home heye. Mr. Forbes also calls attention to the trend of in dustrial enterprises in the same direction. “Experi ence has proved,” he maintains, “thut it is easier to attract workers to pleasant climates than to districts , where extreme heat and extreme cold alternate .Not only so, but the output per worker is greater when climate and living conditions are favorable. Some industirics, however, can be carried on most advan tageously, with a minimum of breakage and “sec onds” in n climate where the temperature does not fluctuate the whole range of the thermometer.” It is probable that the migration Southward by the two elements alluded to will more than offset the mi gration Northward by the negroes. This latter is caused by the debacle in cotton and we don’t imagine that the nogroos will want to remain in the North long after a remedy has been found for the boll weeviL Moreover, the climatic conditions which Mr. Forbes described in the North will operate all the more, against the negro, who, being accustomed to- a warm climate, will soon tire of the Northern winters.

Fifty Million Bushels of Georgia Yams Wanted By Georgia Yam Curing Company. ATLANTA.—Fifty million, bush- ela of yams from Georgia growers amounting, at present pric fifty million dollars are wanted this season by the recently organ- izod Georgia Yam Curing company, according to an annotm. ..n»nnt Sat urday of John A. Manget, promin ent Atlanta capitalist and president of tho new company. The Georgia^Yam Curing com pany has been recently formed ami will he Incorporated for ono niH- Athens’^ on ^°^ arM to develop the sweet 1 potato Industry in Ceorgln. to cure the yams by a new forced air pro cess and to ship them to the mar kets of tho world. ivfr. Man get heads the company and D. H. Heck, formerly of Texas, and the Invent or of the new curing system is the manager. The company has opened offices at f»9 Cone street, Atlanta. This company plans to interest civic leaders In every Georgia com munity in the new curing nroceRs and to co-onerate wtih them In building curing/'plants In their communities. It will keep In touch with the distant markets and ad- v'so the !oc?vJ plants when njiil where to shin their yams. In this way the entire Georgia crop can he handled. The annual production of sweet potatoes of fifty million bushels a year desired by tho new com pany is about four times the usual production in the state. Last year only 13.u00.000 bushels were raised in Georgia and of this crop only about three ner cent^reached dis- tnnt markets because previously no process hns been devised bv which yams could he nrooerlv cured In commercial quantities tor lontr distance shipping. However, tho method which will 1*e exploited by Mr. Mnnget has proven by actual trial that yams cured 1»y it arc in good condition the year after Jhey hro , grown, ♦luring the experimental work, by the process potatoes erovvn In Tc*- n« ono summer were sent to Franco, and eaten tho following summer.
