Enoouraging Economy.

Trifles begin to assume the importance of big things when you multiply them enough times. A gallon of oil or a shovel of coal saved here and there will soon pay the wages of an extra man. Fifty shovels of coal r used unnecessarily on a trip means that the company will have to haul an extra ten of freight 200 miles to pay for it. t , An engineer can rough-handle his engine so that he will not only waste steam, and hence fuel, but he can jolt and jar the locomotive po that the mechanism will sobn give out Rewards are today offered on a dozen different roads to engineers and firemen who make their regular trips on a minimum supply of coal oil.
