THE WAH
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. — Staying on '
the job and saving coal are my two *
most valuable contributions to the ^
country in its present crisis.
Railroad labor has never been as 1
scarce as it is today. The draft has *
taken many men and many more have s
volunteered. The railroad regiments 1
which are helping France were re- *
cruited from the employees of the 1
railroads, and the roads were short
handed before these men volunteered. ^
The first great duty of every rail
road man is, therefore, to work as
hard as he can and to remain on the
job. i
1 have been railroading for over r
forty years. 1 am at the age where c
many men retire, and 1 have oe?n ]
working much longer than many other s
railroad men who are receiving pen- a
sions. But I am as fit as a fiddle and a
able to do a full day's work with as f
little effort as a many thirty years c
younger. As long as 1 am physically t
able to work I'm going to work, .and j
during the present war 1 intend to t
see to it that 1 keep physically fit. t
As a locomotive engineer, I have an- r
other way of helping. This is in the s
saving of coal. The man who doesn't
know anything about railroading
would be surprised to know how easy e
it is to waste coal in a locomotive. A
delay on a passing siding, poor firing,
the actual running of the engine, care- J
less firemen allowing coal to fell off ■:
the sides of the tanks and each side :•
of gangway, hooking fire too much, i
All these are causes of coal waste.
I run my locomotive so 1 '’an get $
the most out of her with the least $
amount of coal. The saving of one 8
shovelful in eight means about one ^
ton a day, and with our more than •:
1200 engineers in service on this road, |
together with all other roads in fhr -5
United States, the total would mean $
many thousands of tons daily.
Another important factor is the ne- \
cessitv for manly honesty among rail- f
road men in reporting violations of •:
safety precautions, such as improper :■
flagging, failure to use fuses at pro*. •:
per time. Accidents would be re- •
duced if engineers and other rail- •
road men would only help to bring j
up the standard of efficient and safe ]
flagging by reporting to the officials ^
of the company violations of the rules.
Accidents are not only dangerous, but
they decrease the efficiency of the
road in doing the work necessary for
the government and the people at a
time when every ounce of effort must
be effectively used.
The way to win this war is for
every man to co-operate and do his
share to the best of his ability. We
have to help each other, and we all J
have to bend a little. *
The railroads are doin^ a gigantic 1
■ork for (he government. They are 1
oing it well, and all railroad men are
orklng together for one object—the
Inning of the war. I

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for .
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting#yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
: business lot In Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
