jack white to ronto v dead men do tell tal es phetr lips are motionless their voices stilled but dead men and x women and children do tell tales especially when death has come suddenly and brutally in an automobile accident lifeless mangled bodies crushed under the wheels of a motor car strewn about in a tangled mess of crumpled metal and shattered glass tell grim horrible tales they tell tales of needless death death that was the result of carelessness neglect thoughtlessness or inconsideration for those human weaknesses arc responsible every time traffic on streets or country highways claims anothers life few people seem to listen to the tales the dead tell however perhaps it is because of the horror which must necessarily accompany their tales but more often than not it is the ego in most people places them above their fellow men it oouldn t happen to me they think whether they say so or not but couldn t it shove that ego into the background for a while and do some serious thinking then you may realize that you can be killed as easily as anyone else and that you also can kill of course it isnt a pleasant thought but it is true death has no special preferences when it comes to taking life in automobile accidents just give it a chance to strike lapse into carelessness for a moment overlook or defy some traffic regulation or selfishly ignore some drivers or pedestrian s rights and it will and it will strike before you realize what is happening suddenly and cruelly if you want to have a normal span of life if you don t want to become a killer drive and walk with care courtesy and common sense take heed of the tales dead men do tell bladder campion is considered one of the most serious weed pests in on tarlo by the crop seeds and weeos branch of the ontario department of agriculture it is difficult to kill owing to its deep fleshy rootstalks ana the num bers of stems growing from 1 crown the crown is often down six to twelve inches in the soil and this explains the difficulty in cutting it off with the plow and the need of deep plowing followed by a stiff toothed cultivator with wide shares which overlap roots and root stalks brought to the
