Purchases Promote Prosperity
W/HILE the Santa Fe is itself a large employer of labor—its payroll in
W 1916 totalled $107,000,000, and its employes number more than
75,000—indirectly as a buyer of materials and supplies it helps to furnish
employment to many more. Such purchases last year exceeded $64,000,000.
In addition it bought over $11,000,000 of new cars and locomotives.
Its largest class of material was fuel, which totalled $24,360,000. This
consisted of about 1,167,000 tons of coal, and 507,800,000 gallons of fuel
oil. The use of coal or oil on any division is determined primarily by which
is the cheaper fuel in that locality.
The second largest class of purchases was iron and steel products, for
which the expenditure was approximately $19,750,000. This included an
expenditure of $9,500,000 for 151,700 tons of rail, frogs, switches, and
fastenings. $1,500,000 went for wheels, axles, and tires, and $306,000 for flues
and tubes for locomotives. Bridges, turntables, structural steel, forgings, and
fabricated, unfabricated, and pressed steel took nearly $3,000,000. Steel and
iron are basic necessities in railroading.
Purchases of forest products totalled $6411,000, which included over
3,000,000 cross ties, and large quantities of lumber and timbers. The Santa Fe
creosotes its ties and much of its timbers, otherwise greater quantities would
be needed each year.
Folders, report blanks, notices, tickets, tariffs, and various items in the sta-
tionery line required $1,115,000, electrical materials $660,000, lubricating
oil and grease, illuminating oils, waste, etc., $1,180,000, and air brake material
$617,600.
These purchases were necessary to maintain the railroad properly and
to give satisfactory service to the public They were covered by 130^00
invoices and were made from 3,347 individuals and firms. Note the wide
spiead of this buying.
Thus the Santa Fe and all railroads are an important factor in main-
taining the prosperity of our country through the employment arising from
these large purchases of supplies, as well as the millions directly disbursed
among their own employes for services.
When the railroads are doing well, they buy materials and supplies on
a larger scale than when net revenues fall off. Money thus spent mainly
pays for the labor of many persons, helping merchants, farmers, everybody
—your own community included. You therefore arc vitally interested.

Beauty Through Fencing
., There is grturiog consciousness In
the United States of the Important
port that correct fencing plays in suc-
cessful beautifying of the home.
Fencing dignifies any establishment
where It Is utilized. In our records
are many Instances where installing
fenc ng has given a property an add-
ed attractiveness that more than paid
for the Improvement. Fencing also
permits Improvements that would be
Impossible without It.
Formal plantings, the setting out
of rare shrubs and plants that could
not be accomplished if the locality
were open to general traffic, become
easy and safe when performed In the
shelter of rigid, marauder proof fenc-
ing

Diiuse of the Long "S’*
The modern form of the letter “a"
took the place of the old -f’-form of
the letter very gradually. For many
years the round was used in all
parts of words except the end, where
the long “s" w as retained. John Bell,
e London publisher, was the first Im-
portant publisher to discard the long
“a” and substitute the round “s" in
all words containing the letter. This
he did in bis edition of “The British
Theater,” which w„s published about
1775. The transition from one form
of the letter to the other was almost
simultaneous with the American Rev-
olution. In 1786 Benjamin Franklin
wrote: “The round ‘s’ begins to he
the mode, and In nice printing the
long ‘s’ Is rejected entirely.” After
1800 the old form of “s” seldom ap-
peared.
Encouraging Trade
A bright-eyed little English lag sa-
luted the occupants of a passing mo-
tor car so politely that they stopped
and gave him sixpence.
“Iro you salute nil the strangers that
pass?” the woman with the party
inquired.
-No, ma'am, only motorists.’' the boy
s'ammered, fingering his sixpence
nervously. “Father says I must be
|x>lite to them because motor cars
bring him trade.”
The ia<Jy seemed disappointed.
“What Is your fathers' trade, my
little man? Does be repair motor
cars?"
• No. ma'am.” was the reply. Tb
