We are just in receipt of the itinary information and program of the National Editorial Associration meeting at Missoula, Montana and Yellowstone park, July 9th to July 29th, including the journey to and from the convention city, The special train leaves Chicago with an all-steel pullman equipment July 9th, and the booklet sent with our program shows the scenes of interest along the way that makes a person mouth water. Scorts of scenes are promised us editors who go along, and we will be allowed to associate with President Harding, who has wired for reservation on the Editorial Special instead of going by special train which was tendered him. One of the prettiest scenes in the booklet. is "Swan Lake," near Kalispell, Montana, a lot of former Pleasanton folks now reside. The wonderful "Mission Range" in Montana is another scene that we can hardly wait to see; also Flathead Lake.

We were enjoying the anticipation to the utmost and wondering if participation would be as enjoyable as anticipation, when we came across the following in the last page of the booklet, which convinces us that anticipation would have to take the place of participation: Railroad ticket $71.00. Side trip tickets $15.54. Berth, $56.88. Sleeper at Missoula, $12.00 Hotel accomodation at Yellow stone Park $47.50. Glacier notels $25.25 $228.17 To the above should be added expense of meals on diner and at other eating houses, which IS estimated at itenerary fee convention fee laundry and barber.

Stop--Look--Listen! During the last 10 years 81,000 people have been kilied and injured in this country while trespassing or walking on railroad tracks and bridges and unlawfully riding on frught and passer ger trains. Nine thousand of this numbs: were children under 14 years of age, twelve thousand were 08- tween 14 and 21 years; nine thou sand were hoboes and tramps and the remaining fifty-four thousand were useful meinbers of society, including clerks, industrial work ers and professinal people, tru majority of whom lived in the communities in which they met death or injury. It is generally thought that train wrecks cause most of the casualties on railroads, but this is not the casc. Fatalities to trespassers, that is, persons who have no business on railroads, amount to seven times the nutsber of all classes of people kilica in train accidents, This is a necdiess waste of haman life and it will be stopped when the public spirited of every community awaken to the significance of this killing and maiming of numan beings. Indeed, great improvement has already been made.

Beginning in and up to 1915 the number of trespassers killed and injured on the railroads of the United States was about 10,000 per year, but during the last three years this has been reduced to an average of about 5,000 per year, notwithstanding a large increase in population and corresponding increase in railroad business. This splendid result is due to Safety Education at home, newspapers, schools and industries, and the efforts put forth by railroads through their Police and Safety Departments to keep all persons off the tracks who have no business to there. To further prevent death and injury from trespassing, teachers, preachers, editors, business men and women and all other public spirited citizens are urged to use' their influence in having these simple precaution: followed: 1.0 Do not walk on railroac tracks or bridges. Use the streets and highways, 2. Do not allow children co play around railroad wracks, stations, turntables, cranes, cars, ou other railroad property.

3. Do not crawl under or be tween cars. Do not attempt to board moving trains or cars. 4. Do not crawl under or around crossing gates when they are down.

Stop until train pass es. 5. Before crossing tracks at crossngs, STOP, and LISTEN to see if a train is coming, and after a trian has passed make sure no other trains are spproaching in either direction.
