where have been quick to change to Lee Whizit Union- Alls and Overalls. And why thousands of mothers have found a new time and trouble saver in L e e Whiz i t P lay Suits for their children.

The combination of the well known Hookless Fastener with the famous Lee features of materials and design has produced the outstanding work and play clothing on the market. Fo r years Lee has set the standard for virtually every worth- while improvement in work clothing.

Lee was the first to manufacture a one-piece work suit, the famous 1 Lee Union-Alls. Lee has recently 1 developed startling improvements in work garment fabrics which have resulted in extra strength and longer wearing qualities. And now, by eliminating buttons, Lee has made another great improvement.

For added comfort, for extra long wear, for speed, and for convenience, wear Lee Whizit Union-Alls, Over- alls or Play Suits. Make your own test of these remarkable new gar- ments that have already won the favor of thousands and thousands from coast to coast. There is a Lee dealer in practically every city, town

Suits are also available in styles having buttons instead of Hook*

Taking Off the Brakes that are Always On

Journal friction is like brakes that are always on, eating coal, lubricant and metal. Timken Tapered Roller Bearings have made that condition needless. Famous trains with Timken-equipped journals are proving it.

Gone is 88% of starting resistance! The cause of jerky, destructive starting is eliminated. So is the risk of hot boxes and the need for constant lubrication.

Furthermore, Timken Bearings have the supreme endur- ance which provides for all the battering thrust and weight of flanged steel wheels racing over steel curves, frogs and switches. For all load from all directions is equally well handled by the exclusive combination of Timken tapered construction, Timken POSITIVELY ALIGNED ROLLS and Timken-made electric steel.

FRISCO FLOWER GARDENS FLOURISH

Stat ion Beaut if icat ion Program Inaugurated Last Sp ring Surpasses Expectations-Frisco Workers Praised for Gardening Efforts

D URING the wintry days of last January when thoughts of summer vacations now ended had

hardly entered the minds of Frisco folks, a, quiet campaign for the beau- tification of Frisco property throughout the nine states in which this railroad operates, was started.

As is the may with most splendid things, the s tar t was inauspicious and quiet enough.

A flower enthusiast employed a s shop accountant in the office of F. A. Beyer, superintendent of the west shops a t Springfield. wrote a letter to the editor of the 1;risco 1l.1agazirz.e. His letter was suggested by Miss Nay- dean Slakely, reporter for the dlnga- zitrc a t the Springfield west shop offices. Don Fellows was the writer.

"With spring only a jump and a half ahead," Florist Fellows wrote, "I wonder if It wouldn't be a fine thing for the Frisco dfagoz im to publish fieVera1 articles on the 'Care of the Home Garden' to aid the many Frisco people who, no doubt, are planning gardens this spring."

,Ifagozinc readers will recall that Wr. Fellows' articles appeared in the Fri.~co Maqaaincs of March, April and May.

But between the time the March .3Iago=ine, containing the first article, was out, and the issuance of the ApriI .Ilaga,-i~~e, both Florist Fellows and the editor were deluged with letters from Frisco employes throughout the system, asking for more information of a particular nature-even for bulbs, seeds and plants, or recommendations a s to where they could best be pro- cured.

Then General Manager Fred H. Shaffer offered the suggestion that started the campaign in earnest.

"Why wouldn't this interest on the part of our employes in beautiful gardens result in many beautified station parks, section house yards and so forth on onr lines, providing the Frisco furnished the bulbs and seeds, together with instructions on how to ~ l a n t them?"

President J. 11. Kurn answercd Mr. Sharer 's query by authorizing the money necessary to furnish the bulbs and seeds, and the April issue of the Frisco Il.lagazi,re announced that a circular had been sent out to all section foremen and agents, advising them that requests for flowers filed with Mr. Fellows woulcl be promptly cared for.

On the opposite page, concrete evidence of the remarkable progress made during the following months in

beautifying Frisco property is presented. Much credit is due Frisco Florist Fellows who worked without compensation many hours of his spare time in mailing out the bulbs and writing letters of advice on planting and care of the flowers to the consignees.

W . L. H., Jr.

During the spring and summer months passengers on Frisco trains have exclaimed in admiration at the beauty of Frisco station and section properties. Pump houses have been changed into rose bowers, grass station lawns into a flower fairyland.

Exactly 12,218 plants and bulbs of dahlia, canna, gladioli and elephant ears were sent out by Florist Fellows. all a t no cost to the Frisco workers who received them. These bulbs, if properly cared for during the approaching winter, should furnish approximately 60,000 bul'bs for planting next year.

The pictures on the next page a r e of only a few of the many many station and section grounds beautified under this program. Other pictures a r e being received and will be pub-

lished in later issues. The friendly rivalry among the Frisco employes who cared for the planting did much to promote the success of the project.

The Ladies' Civic Club of Caruth- ersville, Mo., deserves credit for the beautiful flower garden which directly surrounds the station a t that point. These ladies have spent many hours pruning and cultivating the garclen, which is delightful to view.

Just across the railroad tracks, to the north of the station a t Caruthers- ville, I s another garden plot which is under the direct supervision of 0. B. Davis, section foreman, and he has surrounded the section house and grounds adjoining with a variety of deep-colored and fragrant flowers.

Probably one of the most diff:culi tasks was that undertaken by N. F. Halt, agent a t Clayton, Oklahoma. The garden a t that station is the result of much labor on the part of Mr. Holt and his associates. for there a re no watering facilities in or near the little park and garden, and water had to be carried in buckets. But the little garden thrived and repaid those who were interested in its care.

The rose arbor over the pump house a t Warwick, Okla., is the handiworli of Romy Pickard, pumper. Passengers daily Comment on i ts beauty. Atlja- cent to the pump house is a little garden plot where zinnias, dahlias and gladiolas grow in abundance.

"Sam B. Wooldridge, section laborer a t Thager, Mo., is the man who is re- sponsible for our beautiful little flow- e r garden," writes Peter A. F. Ingle. agent a t that point. "Mr. Wooldridge spaded up the ground, planted the bulbs and cares for the garden."

J . W. Ledbetter, agent a t West Plains advises that the photographer did not do justice to the floral display a t that station, for each little square of ground was utilized and a panorama was difficult to secure. "We're going to have a real garden next year, and we're already planning on how we a re going to arrange the beds," he writes.

W. E. Counts, roadmaster a t Cuba is certainly proud of the flowers cared for by the men a t that station. He says that it is a pleasure to see the interest they have taken in making the station grounds beautiful.

The little park a t Soper, Olcla., maintained by C. E. Clark, agent, and Tom Hall, section foreman, has attracted a great deal of attention. These beds have received hours of care and attention from these men.

t - n ~ n r nxn-t -v HOMES ARE THEIR CASTLES

Ve, Texas, Frisco Workers Know No Landlords- 100 Per Cent Home-Owners

-- L1l= exas Lines of the Frisco will show that seven men are employed in

the station a t Stephenville, Texas. a s agent, operator, yard clerk, third trick operator, cashier. warehouseman antl night baggageman.

But payrolls a re brief, terse affairs and don't "tell the half of It".

The Texas Llnes payroll for Ste- phenville won't show. for Instanc-. that those seven men, headed by J. D. Killough, twenty-seven years a Frisc:, employe, each owns his own home, and that in so doing, those employes probably set a record for which everv other station on Frisco Lines should strive.

A 100 per cent home-owing station force.

That's what the Frisco has a t Stephenvllte. Texaa.

Agent Killouch is one of the best known men in Frisco service, and was elected a director of the Frisco Sys- tem Veteran Employes' Association at its June. 1927, meeting In Springfield and has always been an advocate of home ownership and the excellent policy of "Pay a s you go, or don't go".

Agent Killough's exanlple in ownin? his own home in Stephenvllle was in- fectious to the congenial, hard-work- inp; Frisco employes a t his station. Those seven men have a combined service record with the Frisco of 10: years, and each of them is planning on staying in the service for years to come. So gradually, one by one. thev followed their agent's example. Today. W. W . Wallace, the second trick operator, 25 years' service, owns his home, and so do V. H. Barber, yard clerk, and R. Finley. third trick operator. each with 13 years' service; T. C. House, cashier, 11 years' service; Alexander Wright (colored), warehouse man, 9 years' service; and E. J. Hutchison, night baggageman, 7 ye'lrs' service.

Mr. Killooeh ie somewhat of a psy- chologist. He reasons that when a man Is work in^ under the strain of family cares, with innumerable bills to meet, and a loosely-managed house- hold, his mind cannot be given wholly to his work. The greatest asset whlch a man might have i n this building up at the family budget. says he, is to own his own home. If worries come, and reverses get the upper hand, a mail's home is always his "castre" and represents a wisely and carefully made Investment.

"My wife and I never have llved In a rented home," he said. "We have always been strong advocates of th3

e l o g a ~ ~ , 'Own and Live in Your Own Home.' Contentment is necessary if an employe is to be efficient, and I believe efficiency begins in the home with a contented wife and family."

And so, a s each en~ploye was added to the roster a t Slephenville, Mr. Kil- lough "sized things up". He visual- ized the little home which might suit the purse of each one, and when th" time came to bring up the subject of home owning. Mr. Killough had plans well in mind and his advice mas always sound antl valuable.

Sometimes arrangements were hard to make, and Mr. Killough is known to have helped several of the younger employes In securing thelr homes.

"A man has a greater interest in the clty where he lives if he owns hls own property," saId Mr. Killough. "For instance, h e votes lor ail city Improvements which might make his city more prosperous and his proper ty more valuable. He is an interested and raluable citizen. And, on

the other hand, 1f the conlpany by which he is employed does not succeed. his pay envelope is more or less insecure, and it is to hls interest to do everything in his power to see that the company which gives him his daily living. prospers.

"Are these Stepqenville employes boosters for the Frisco? Well they certainly are. To a n unusual extent they have been active in the organization of Greater Traffic Clubs. We a re glad the movement is gaining such attention, but these Frisco employes a t Stephenville always have solicited business for the Frisco Lines, because they wanted to see both their city and their company grow." And Mr. Kil- lough tracea it 'back to the fact that they a r e happy and interested, both in their home Ifre and in their work.

Each of these homes show that many F'risco principles and policies have been worked out. Each of the photographs show that many hours have been put in beautifying th? lawns and hedges. and flower plots.

Another slogan besides the home owning one, has been adopted by th's energetic group of Texans. That is. "Keep Out DC Debt-Pay Cash as You GO or Don't Go". The fact that each is a home owner, has made good With the Frisco and can claim years of seniority, proves that this stogan has been adopted unanjmously.

Rough Handling Damage Continues to Decrease at Rapid Rate OUGH handling of cars on Frisco Lines during the first eight

' months of 1927, a s compared with the same period last year, decreased 43.8 per cent in the number of cars damaged and 41 per cent in the amount of damage to cars, according to a comparative statement compiled at the office of the operating department statistician a t Springfield.

For the month of August, 1027, Springfield and Birmingham terminals had no cases of rough handling.

Says M. M. Sisson, assistant general manager, in a circular letter to all division and terminal superintendents:

"I hone the divisions and terminals that are not ranking so well will try to improve their position, and there

is only one way that this can be done and that is by constantly keeping aft. e r the matter, handling a t freight claim prevention and better service meetings and wherever the opportun- ity presents, to the eud that everybody is interested and making proper effort to reduce the damage."

XIS of the FRISCO CLUBS HE extremely hot weather has not lessened the enthusiasm of

Tthe members of the Frisco Girls' Club of St. Louis, and the first three clubs formed, swimming, bowling and choral, have been well attended and great interest manifest in the various meetings.

The choral club, under the chalr- manship of Alice May Cooke, obtained the services of Professor L. M. iWolino, director of the St. Louis School of Opera, who meets with the club on each Tuesday evening. He has tried out the voice of each girl and the club has had two rehearsals. Professor Molino promises that he will have the club well organized and ready for public appearances within a month. Thirty-five girls formed the charter membership and more a re added at each rehearsal.

The swimming club disbanded its activities for a month, after having met each Friday evening during the month of August. When the cooler weather prevails the girls have made arrangements to go to a large indoor heated pool and continue activities throughout the winter.

All girls interested in the bowling club met recently and elected officers, namely, Bertha Halm, president; Haz- e l Fairchild, vice-president; Lillian Ritter, secretary and Louise Gibson, treasurer. Twelve teams were formed, three girls to a team, and the following names given the teams; Texas Special, Oltlahoma Special, Ozark Limited, Texas Limited, Kan- sas Limited, Southwest Limited, Me- teor, Sunnyland, Memphian, Kansas City Florida Special, The Governor and the Wichita Falls Special. This club meets each Monday night a t the Rogers Recreation Hall on Washing- ton Avenue. So Par the scores of the various teams have averaged around 200 each game. As soon a s the hot weather subsides, other members mill be added and new teams created.

The monthly luncheon is to be held during the last week of September, and the program was not obtainable a t this writing.

Plans a re made to s ta r t literary, dramatic and ukulele clubs during the month of October.

Frisco Clubs over the entire system have been holding meetings in the form of picnics and out of door gatherings during the hot months of Aug- ust and September.

The largest one to be reported was a basket picnic a t Blackwell, Okla., on Sunday, August 28, attended by more than 650 people.

Owing to the large number of employes who desire to attend the pic-

nic from the Enid-Hobard sub-division, it was necessary to operate a special train which left Bessie, Okla., a t 3:30 a. m. and arrived a t Blackwell a t 10:OO a. m. There were 10 coachoc, in another special train which left Enid a t 8:00 a. m. and arrived at B!ac*kwell a t 10:OO a. m.

The visitors were greeted by a re- ception committee from Chamber of Commerce of Blackwell and an ample supply of cars transported the crowd

One of the most remarkable ac- con~plishments in the traffic line during the month of September was that made by W. H. Hutchison, agent a t Vinita and his associates, S. G. Sisk, signal supervisor; H. 0. Barns, car inspector; E. G. Shed- leber, ticket cashier and Mrs. W. H. Hutchison, bill clerk. The five secured a total of 505 permanent routiug orders covering all future shipments, from practically every merchant in Vinita. Mr. Hutchi- son alone called on 70 merchants in his city and secured routing orders from 69.

These five loyal workers have received many letters of congratulations from officers of the Frisco on their very splendid accomplish- ments.

to the park. Trucks hauled the bas- kets and luggage.

Upon arrival at the park a n elabo- rate entertainment program was presented. S. J. Fraeier, superintendent introduced C. Tunnell, secretary of the Blackwell Chamber of Commerce who delivered the address of welcome. The response was made by Z. B. Clay- pool, of the accident prevention department.

Mr. Frazier and J. J. Bernard, president of the Enid club expressed their appreciation of Blackwell's welcome.

The Blackwell band gave a delightful program which was followed by the basket dinner. At 1:30 p. m. the crowd witnessed a ball game, when the Blackwell team forgot t h e h friendly sentiments and unmercifully flayed the Frisco team in a n eight inning game. The score was 11 to 2.

Owing to the length of the program it was necessary to cancel the boxing and wrestling contests in order that the visitors might return to Enid and Bessie on time.

The Frisco Greater Traffic Club of Memphis gave the second of a series of delightful dances on Saturday evening September 10, in the ball- room of the Hotel Chisca. A large number of employes, their families and friends attended. The Frisco Sunnyland Orchestra furnished the music for the affair.

Among the guests were, Mr. and Mrs. William Lindsey of Tampa, Florida, guests of C. C. Medley, conductor; Mr. and Mrs. Lee NcKnight, vice-president Merchants Warehouse Co. and Mrs. McKnight; Calvill H. Graves, assistant traffic manager, Farnsworth Evans Cotton Co., and Mr. and Nrs. B. B. Fontaine.

The Greater Traffic Club of Joplin held a meeting aud basket picnic at Electric Park on August 26, which was attended by more than 100 employes and their families.

E. D. Maxton, chairman of the club and conductor Lane, first vice-presi. dent were both called out of town and L. S. Bailey, second vice-president conducted the business meeting. Some good thoughts on how to solicit freight and passenger business were offered by J. H. Douglas, general agent; C. R. Welch, traveling auditor; C. 0. McCain, general agent, Ft. Scott; S. McQuitty, warehouse foreman; 31. J. Conley, freight agent, also Messrs. 3Iahan and Brooke, traveling supervisor and traveling freight agent, respectively.

The meeting was called to order by the president, and was formally opened with a piano solo by Nrs. J. Pecken- paugh. The president then called on A. T. Laney, president of the greater traffic club a t that point. He complimented the ladies on their organization and a t the conclusion of his address introduced Martha C. Moore, of the publicity department a t St. Louis. Miss Moore offered suggestions to the ladies in regard to their organization and outlined what they might choose a s a working program. W. L. Heath. service representative praised the Clinton Auxiliary, and C. 0. Claiborne, agent a t that point said that Clinton had had a splendid increase in business and that he for one was willing to credit the ladies auxiliary a s having secured it.

Each of the ladies in turn were call-

E. M. Hatfield, assistant foreman of the Frisco Lines' car department shops a t Sherman, Tex.. who won one of the gold fountain pens offered monthly to the traffic-solicits- tion winner on each division of Frisco Lines, made the following unique contribution to the &laga- ,-ine following receipt of the prize:

"I'm just a n ornery car knocker, belonging to the Greater Traffic Club. I decided my head to bother about some business for Frisco to grub. So, off I go to town, feeling tired and dirty too. Don't have time to go clean up so I'm feelin' sorter blue. But-I asked my first customer for some business for Frisco, you bet. 'Well,' h e said, 'I'll guess I'll give you the next ca r I get.' My spirits flew upward, I go and try another. My efforts a re rewarded. Someone else helps this Frisco brother. So I t ry this each evening 'ti1 I get a nice list. 'Bout that time the contest is over and I sit down and wish, that I could be the lucky fellow to get the gold fountain pen. So I go on about my duties, just car knocRing like sin, when one day comes a letter from the president-I mean Kurn-saying I won the fountain pen. So next day I watch the mail and I get letters from Mr. Oliver and Mr. McCarty. Next day I watch again and I get it, by gum! that gold fountain pen."

ed on for suggestions, aiid many of them responded. Mrs. Lawrence Crotty was elected to send in news of the auxiliary to the two Clinton pa- pers and to the Frisco Maga&u.

More than sixty club members enjoyed a basket dinner a t 6 p. m. a t Artesian park, in closing the day's meeting.

This club is the o i~ ly auxiliary to a greater traffic club on the Frisco system. There a re more than 100 Frisco employes a t Clinton.

TWO hundred and two girls were present a t an initial meeting of the Frisco Girls' Club of Springfield a t the Colonial Hotel, Springfield, September 21. Marie Arnold, of the car accountant's office presided a s chairman and explained the purpose of the club. which is to solicit business for the Frisco, and to form a bond of fellow- ship among the girls of the Spring- field offices.

Special numbers were presented bv members of the car accountant's office in the form of three short songs. Each contact girl was introduced to those present, as well as the girls who were nominated for the various offices of the club.

FRISCO DOCTORS TO MEET

Ft. Worth Scene of 26th Annual Convention of F. M. A.,

October 17-18

T HE twenty-sixth annual convention of the F r i s w System Medl- cal Association. composed of the

inore than five hundred doctors employed by the Frisco Lines, will be held a t Fort Worth, Texas, October 17-18. Officers of the organization a r e planning to make this convention by far the most successful in program and attendance.

Preparations are being made by Jlr. 5. A. Wodward . Fort Worth, president of the assoctation and division surgeon for the Frisco Lines, and by other officers of the assoclatlon.

The Fort Worth Chamber of Com- merce has extended to the members of the Frisco System Medical Associa. tion a n invitation to visit Fort Worth on the convention dates.

The last convention was held a t Memphis September 27-25, 1926. At that time Doctor Woodward was elect. ed president; Dr. Robert Vineyard, St. Louis, was re-elected secretary and the following were elected vice- presidents, representing their various states: Dr. R. BI. Jones, Missouri; Dr. M. 0. Usery, Arkansas; Dr. R. S. Kirk, Mississippi; Dr. E. Dunlap, Texas; Dr, E. S. Edgerton. Kansas; Dr. R. L. Murdoch, Oklahoma; Dr. A. C. Jackson, Alabama, and Dr. W. V. Pruitt, Tennessee.

Dr. R. A. Woolsey, St. Louis, is chief surgeon of the Frisco Lines.

Doctor Woodward, who will be "host" a t Ft. Worth, was graduated Prom the Hospital Medical College. Memphis, in 1894 and immediately entered his father's office a t Carthage, Tex. For twelve years he served in the house of delegates of the Texas State BLedical Association and on the board of medical examiners and with the board of health a t Fort Worth. During the World War he was com- missioned a captain in the medical corps a t Camp Logan and in 1916 he was made a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons.

October 27 is Navy Day. This Navy Day, i n addition to paying tribute to the services which the navy has given to the nation, the sponsors of this annual event wish to emphasize that there a r e three great elements of sea power, namely, foreign trade, the merchant marine and naval pfotection.

"I am sure," says Walter Bruce Howe, Washington, D. C., president of the Navy League of the United States, "it is not necessary to de- velop the point that our foreign trade is important to the security holders, the executives and the employes of our railroads."

field, just a week after he was forced out of a twenty-mile swimming race in Lake Taneycomo, Mo., after malting a little more than nine miles, swam the eighteen miles of this lake from Branson to Ozark Beach.

Barrett dived from the bridge a t Branson a t 8:20 in the morning of his second attempt and without the aid of any current, which in Lake Taneyco- ]no is usually about one mile an hour. utarted swimming downstream and reached Ozark Beach a t 5:30 that afternoon.

Lee used a regular crawl stroke with the flutter kick, averaging twenty-two strokes to the minute. He wore no bathing suit but his body was covered with a heavy coating of grease. The swiinmer a te four choco- late bars and drank a quart of cocoa during the swim.

Barrett started his training a t Clear Creek where he planned to swim one hour per day the first week, two hours the second and increase the time weekly. However, this schedule was not adhered to and he finished training under practically no sunervision, in the pool of the Ozarlr Hotel a t

"Dad" and "Mother" Clark Celebrated Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary Sept. 1 7

Kansas City, Mo., Couple Wed in 1867-Both Loyal Frisco Veterans

R. and Mrs. John Clark of 1610 West 41st Street, Kansas City, celebrated their sixtieth wedding

anniversary on September 17 a t their home. Mr. Clark, a retired Frisco conductor, is 85 years of age and "Mother Clarlr", a s she is familiarly known, is 83. Mr. Clark came from hngland in 1854, and met the present Mrs. Clark, then Mary Elizabeth Mansfield in Latrobe, Pa., and they were married in 1867.

The Clark family i s well known, both in railroad circles and in the public eye, due to "Mother" Clark's extensive work in the prisons of the country and in Frisco affairs.

"Our happy married life has been based on the old fashioned doctrine of 'giving the other fellow a hand', and in helping others, we have found our happiness," writes " Mother " Clark.

Idleness has never had a place in either of their lives, and even now that Mr. Clark's active railroad service is over, he finds much to do around their little home. He cares for the large flower garden which is the delight of "Mother" Clark, altho he says he really likes to work with his pen of chickens better than with the flowers.

"I\Iother" Clark derived her nick- name from her work in the prisons throughout the country. She visits the inmates, writes then], and on twenty-six occasions she has comfort- ed condemned men on the eve of their execution.

She is perhaps the only woman in the Frisco family who once felt the handclasp of Abraham Lincoln, and she has shaken hands with every president from Buchanan down to Coolidge.

Mr. Clark is a Civil War veteran,

M R . AND M R S . J O H N CLARK

and no Memorial Day has ever passed that he has not donned his blue uniform and paid a visit to the graves of the Confederates a s well a s Union men.

Mr. and Mrs. Clark have two sons, Walter W. and Roy 31. now in the service of the Frisco, serving as conductors. A third son, now dead, also served the Frisco.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Clark have always taken a n active part in Frisco activities.

Springfield. His training inclucled some road work and lasted about six weeks.

The youth attended the University of Illiuois studying electrical engineering, but is working a t the coach shop to earn funds to continue his course. He mas eager to win the prize offered for the Taneycomo swim, which was won by "Red" Haskett, of Branson. but it was the same old spirit that fired the pioneers to action that caused Barrett to make his second attempt and swim the long eighteen miles of chilly water-the spirit of "I can."

Payments to insured officers and employes for the month of August, 1927, by the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company amounted to $14,056.74.

This amount is divided, Super- visory . Group, death, $5,000.00; total and permanent disability, $1,476.00; Shop Group, death $2,- 552.14; total and permanent disability, $1,224.96 and health and ac- :ident, $3,141.08; Clerks, total and permanent disability, $361.56.

I When Eggs are Eggs I B y IWRS. E L I Z A B E T H TEMPLE.

[email protected] Home Economics, Frisco L C c s

In working with case-lot shipmenb of eggs on the eastern markets, the farm wife frequently has some' interesting comments offered with her return check from the New York buyers.

The first shipments usually bring a reminder that all eggs should be packed small end down for the sake of uniform appearance. This change the farm wife makes readily. only to have a report of some breakage on the small ends of eggrj, and a request for a "better commercial shellv- more lime in the hens' diet. If th flock owner i s really intent on mee ing the demands of the graded eg market, she will a t once supply oystc shell in quantity to all her birds, an may even mix some finely groun shell with the laying mash in the hor pers, to insure sufficient Itme f o ~ strong commercial shells.

Oyster shell usually carries 96 pe cent to 98 per cent calcium carbonate a higher amount than lime rock, nnc so it is our best source of lime i o ~ egg shells and for use with young growing stock for bone and feather growth. With improved methods al feeding our increasing flocks, the nec essity for use of mineral and lime shows up more and more plainly. Lack of oyster shell may both check egg production and cause soft-shelled eggs.

The Frisco has a special interest in furthering the use of oyster shell.

In 1925 the loss and damage clair- on egg shipments reached $30.000 1 the Frisco alone. An investigati~ showed that about half of this lo was due to improper packing, gradin loading and handling. Through wa derfully fine cmoperation of shippe and railroad this 50 per cent of war has been greatly reduced. The 0th 50 per cent, due mostly to poor qua ity of egg shells, through lack of OF ter shell in the diet of hens, remain little changed, the loss in 1926 stm ing a t $13,731.10, and in the Uh seven months of 1927, at $8,607Ts This loss can be remedied only by la proved methods on the farms, whr: the eggs a r e produced, by the use * more oyster shell with the fan flocks.

Commercial oyster shell is cbw and abundant, a s it is one of the fV things in the poultry supply line lhl' has not advanced in price.

It is produced in quantity along 'r Gulf, and one large factory, the Gu Crushing Company, is located on s: - own line.

If the Frisco agents wlll call tt attention of producers in their t m tory to the need for "better packagrk- for our eggs, it will reduce the Iri1 in this line, and reflect to the adraF tage of the producers.

H. L. Hillemann, agent a t Datto, Ark.. became so interested in the offer of bulbs that h e ordered a number, borrowed a pick from the section foreman, and after working hours dug up the plot near the station, which was waste ground and covered with cin- ders. He is particularly proud of the large elephant ears which he says are 44 inches long.

James E. Stephens, flagman a t Un- ion Avenue. Kansas City, voluntarily sent to the Ataga,-inc a picture of his little garden, and asked that he be ad- vised, through the columns of the iVaga,-i7re, what other agents and others interested had developed from the offer of bulbs.

C. E. Clark, agent, and Tom Hall. section foreman a t Soper, Okla., h a w taken an unusual interest in the gar. den plot around that station, and they receive many compliments on the result of their efforts.

No one will contradict the statement that the Frisco flower gardens a t the various stations have caused many to stop, look, and admire, and in that brief moment the result which Presi- dent Kurn foretold in the early spring, was achieved.

"Do you think you can tell all those wonderful Frisco folks all the happiness which is in my heart and my ap- weciation for their wonderful help? m e n the one with the wildest imagi- nation cannot realize what a miracle it is to have faced death in 1922-and health, happiness and a happy married life in 1927!"

Hazel's visit to St. Louis came just prior to her marriage. She wished to visit with her mother, who will not be able to attend the wedding in Den- ver which will take place a s soon a s she returns.

On this last visit, Miss Johnson, now Mrs. Wm. Roehl, assisted Hazel in selecting her trousseau, and Mrs. Roehl gloried in the flght which Hazel had made and in her victory. and Hazel in turn cannot find words to express her deep regard for Mrs. Roehl and the Frisco folk in general.

I THE USE OF COSMETICS I A recent survey conducted by the

American Chemical Society discloses the fact that the cosmetic industry ill the United States has increased 600 per cent since the war. There are more than five hundred great industrial plants in this country today doing nothing but turning out beauty aids. Is this a sign that Americans are more vain than they used to be, or merely more humble? For i t might be humility that makes one invoke arti- ficial aid to appear handsomer than nature originally planned!

hTor a re women the only users of this vast supply of cosmetics. Today men are using astringents after shav- ing, and also talcum powder to sooth the visage rasped and scraped by the razor. Illen may not use lip sticks to redden their lips but the clerk a t the toilet goods counter can tell you that many men buy sticks of a very slightly scented pomade to prevent lip chapping.

Time was when everv man who was a smoker proclaimed the fact by his stained teeth: today masculine and feminine smoliers alike smile a t the world with a dazzling dental display. for intensive advertising has made Ainerfcans "month conscious" and today me use twenty-five million dollars worth of dentifrices a year.

Hgir tonics, shampoo preparations. hair dyes, skin lotions, deodorants, non-perspirants and depilatories a re by no means all pre-empted by the ladles. Probably men are greater users of hair tonics than women, a s they are also of the various pomades designed to keep the hair sleek and plastered down. %omen have been quickest to welcome the many excell- en t deodorants and non-perspirants LO- day on the market, but more than one man uses a cream depilatory to re- move unsightly hairs. a s regular a s his wife uses i t to keep her arms, legs and arm pits free of any unwanted growth. Hairiness is supposed to mean virility, yet many men who proudly display hairy arms, legs and chest when they appear in bathing suits are ashamed to place a hairy paw against a lady's dainty waist when dancing, and therefore resort to using a depilatory for their hands.

Alarmists may argue that America is going the way of ancient Greece and Rome, that in our love of luxuries we

Frisco " Contact Girls" Perform Valuable Work N efficient organization might be aptly compared to a huge wheel, A naming the hub. the president:

the svoltes. her immediate assistants; and the rim of the wheel the co-work- es and member0 of the organization. If the rim is not complete, if several inembers fail in their support, the wheels become dented, and the organization or club rides roughly.

The Frisco Girls' Club of St. Louis forms a Wheel in the organization of the Frisco Lines. which, since its organization has not faltered-its spokes have remained, sturdy and strong, sup- porting and helped supported by a rim which has run smooth and straight.

This article is about the spokes- the "contact" girls, twenty-one in nunl- ber, who have worked unfalteringly in the organization of this clwb.

When the club was formed, the official in charge of each department mas asked to send to an initial meeting, a representative girl from his department. Twenty-one of these girls met and they represent the 276 girls employed i n all the St. Louis offices. From the date of their appointment thev have heen the foundation of the club. "Contact" is an appropriate name. for through these girls, the president, Miss Loretto Connor can get in touch with every girl within a short time.

The efficiency of their organization was demonstrated when the Frisro Lines decided to send Col. Chas. Lind- bergh a wire of congratulation following his famed flight, and through the contact girls every employe in the offices of the Frisco in St. Louis was given a chance t o add his or her name and reports were returned within an hour. The telegram was more than 30 feet long.

When a monthly luncheon is planned, the contact girls sell the luncheon tickets. When the recent boat ride was planned each contact girl handled the money and tickets and re-

ported direct to the treasurer. It is their duty to see that each girl under their jurisdiction receives a notice of all meetings and gatherings.

Practically all the meetings which the contact girls attend are held after their working hours a re over, and their attendance has been one hundred r e r cent. Their interest and enthusiasm have never faltered.

The contact girls a r e examples of loyalty and enthusiasm. Their interest in t h e club and the Frisco is one and the same, and many of their names have appeared a t various times on the honor roll of the monthly tral- fic solicitors.

The success of the contact girls has depended to a large extent on the support of the members of the club. Each girl has stood valiantly by her contact girl and has respoilded to all her recluests. Suggestions have been handled promptly and there is a bond between the contact girl and the girls under her jurisdiction, which has made the Frisco Girls Club one of the most successful clubs on Frisco Lines today. and the wheel has revolred smoothly and efficiently.

The contact girls who have served so loyally and the department which they represent are: Sylvia Rachota, freight accounting; Estelle Hilton, passenger accounting: Margaret Cow- an, purchasing; Loretto A. Connor, executive; Alice May Cooke, fuel; C. Lucille Kerr, architect; Lydia Peter- son, traffic; Mary Ansbro, passenger traffic ; Lilly Kulage, agents accounts; Ada J. Husbands, comptroller; Ida C~oney , divisions department; Agnes Larkin, 7th Street freight station; Catherine 31. Barrett, zone auditor's off ice ; Katherine Tiffin, valuation : Katherine LeHoullier, freight traffic: Lucy V. Good, claims division; Roxie Wood, superintendent terminals; Doro- thy Schicht, freight accounting; Kath- erine Martin, auditor's office; Julia Kitts, auditor's office and Ella Ecltle- kamp, treasurer's department.

are growing decadent. But the truth is that whereas a few silly women a re overdoing thetr use of cosmetics and "make-up," thousands more are using these beauty aids with discretion and good taste. . ,

Americans are today cleaner, more fastidious, better looking, sweeter smelling, more attractive than ever before, and if this fastidious care of the

body by decadence, then let us have more of it, even though we dispend five or ten dollars per year per person for powders, pastes and lotions. The marvel is not that the total sum spent yearly by Americans for these preparations is so great, but that the price of many of the most helpful of them is so small, only a few cents a tube or bottle o r box.

A Complication Charles: "Mother, why is Daddy

knees by the side of the bed and placed him between the fine white sheets.

"Good night, Billy boy. Sleep tight," she whispered.

" 'night, muvver, I awfu seepy." Kissing him she turned out the

light and slipped out of the room. But something terrible was wrong

with Billy. H e just couldn't go to sleep. There were so many queer little noises in the room which he had never noticed before. Curious creepy little noises like when ghosts walked or the bogey man was out. Sammy Jones had told him TERRIBLE stories that very day about queer and mysterious things that walked around in the dark a t night and scared sleeping people. DREADFUL things that moved all about in white, moaning and wailing. My! What was that noise - over in the corner and that funny flickering little light. What was it? Was i t a--a ghost?"

Suddenly Billy could stand it no longer and with a high piercing little

"Billy! Whatever is the matter?" she cried, alarmed.

"Muvver! Oh, muvver ! 'ere's ghosts in my room!"

"Why Billy! How do you know?" "I saw 'em and heard 'em." "Billy," she said sternly. "There a re

no such things a s ghosts!" "Oh yes. 'ere is, too, muvver. Sam-

my Jones said there were." Without a word she gathered him

up into her arms and went back into his room. Without turning on the light she drew a big deep chair up to the wide, open window and sat down still holding him. Softly she began to talk.

"Isn't it beautiful out there in the big world, Billy boy? Look a t the big orange moon shining between the trees and the million twinltling little stars. Billy boy, I believe they are laughing down here a t you because you were afraid. Look a t the big tall trees, how dark and magnificent they look a s they dip and sway against the sky. Just think of the little birds that are sleeping in their nests in

those trees. The wind sways them t o sleep and the little crickets and the locusts sing to them. They a re very happy to have such wonderful homes.

That is because the fairies have some time during the night. touched them with their little paiut brushes. And do you remember the .;-arkling little dew drops on the grass juct before the sun comes? Those, Rilly. are the jewels which the fairies lost while they played and worked. That is how they make things beautiful for us while we sleep. Rut they a re never too busy to remember Billy.

ZTOBER, 1927 No. 1

Will Blacksmith Marcks Please Note?

T HE blue-sky law, prohibition amendment, interstate commerce, entangling alliances,

farmers' relief, diminutioli of freight traffic and civil war on a railroad, to say nothing of the upsetting of a village's peacef~llness all seemed involved just because a crop of corn a t Morse, Kans., ownecl by Dean Uarcks, who is Frisco agent and village blacksmith there, has grown so high that the corn tassels are draping themselves on the railroad's telegraph wires and the railroad is demanding an "acljust- ment ".

Farmer JIarcks is in a deuce of a predica- ment.

So is Agent Marcks. So is Village Blacksmith Marcks. Here also is the eighth wonder of the world

-the seemingly apparent self-determination of the corn to transport itself by wire. Ain't nature wonderful !

The Kansas blue-sky law might be invoked against Farmer Marcks because of the corn's sky-scraping proclivities; the drys miglit have something to say about "corn" runniug by telegraph; the Interstate Commerce Commission might have to convene in special session to fix a rate for transportation of corn by the Morse code; farmers ' relief miglit be resurrected in Congress, after an agonizing demise, and the "entangling alliances" arc plain to see.

As to the "civil war ' ' par t of this three-ring

circus, that will be declared when Farmer 3Iarcks tries to square himself with Agent Narcks.

The o111y way out for Farmer Marcks and for Agent Marcks, a s we see it, is for Village Blacksmith Uarcks to t ry to bring abont some sort of compromise.

Surely this is a "house" diviclccl against itself.

Our Fourth Bir thday

F O U R years ago this month another monthly publication greeted the railroad world.

Bearing the date of October, 1923, Vol. 1, KO. 1, the Frisco Evzployes' Magazi.rze greeted workers of this railroad in an effusive fashion. Thosc of you who have kept your iMagazine files will have the first issue,-others may remember the first cover,-a 1500 locomotive breaking through a red Frisco trade-mark. President Kurn greets the employes in the first issue, ~ n d other officials a re the authors of "by-line" articles dealing with onc and nnoth- er phases of railroading.

This month, in celebrating the Nagaz i~ te ' s fourth birthclap party, the editor wishes to call attention to the fact that the Frisco Employes' Jlnyntine, in keeping with every other unit of the Frisco Lines, has grown and prospered.

The first issue had 48 pages. This issue has '72, and there have been many 84 and 88 page editions in recent months. There were few pages of advertising in the October issue of 1923, but this month's issue has almost 30 pages nf "revenue" all of which goes to clefrag pub- lishing expense and bring a larger !lilagaxi)~e to its reaclers. Officers of the compan;rT have long ago withdrawn as contributors to pages of this publication. I t is an L'employes' " Xngaxivc! and employes write the stories i t prints. And last but not least, proof of the popularity of this JTagazi))e is contailiccl in the circulatioil figures which show that four years ago 15,500 copies were printed w11ile today 22,500 copies of the Frisco Magnxi)re go to employe-reaclers on the line, to newspaper offices, to plants of large shippers and to libraries, clubs, T. M. C. A ' s etc. The increase of 7,000 copies has come naturally and gradually,-by request.

SHOPMEN DECRY BUSES

2000 Springfield Workers ResoIute Against New Bus Line

Pan r

OWN with buses!" was the battle cry of approximately 1,000 members or Local No. 2, Frisco

Association of Metal Craft and Car Department Employes, in a "greater traffic" session a t Springfield, Sep- tember 14 . At the same meeting a resolution was passed requesting the Public Service Commission of the State of Missouri to refuse to grant the application of Pickwick Stages System for a certificate of public convenience and necessity with which to operate motor buses between Kansas City and Joplin.

The granting of this certificate, says the resolution, "will result in greatly reducing the passenger revenue of the Frlsco Railroad in the State of Mis- souri and necessarily result in throwing many of the members of our As- sociation out of employment, with the resulting hardship to ourselves and families."

The resolution further says applicant for the certificate is not a resident of Missouri and has contributed ~ ~ o t h i n g toward building of State High- way No. 66, over which the buses would operate and adds that territory is served adequately by trains of the Frisco.

The "greater traffic" objective of the meeting was illustrated by G. L. Walton, an employe at the west coach shop a t Springfield, and a sleight-of- hand performer, who produced from apparently empty tubes, banners reading "RIore Business Means Steady Em- ployment;" "Greater Traffic;" "More Passengers;" "Let's Get the Busi- ness:'' "More Freight" and "B A Fris- co Booster."

Then came the climax of Mr. Wnl- ton's performance when he produced a large banper reading "To Hell with Buses!" It was then that the assembl- age broke into vociferous cheers. So effective was the performance by Mr. Walton that J. N. Cornatzar, passenger traffic manager for the Frisco with headquarters in St. Louis, complimented Mr. Walton hlghly.

A testimonial of the genuineness of the shopmen's interest in the Frisco's "greater traffic" program was the attendance a t this meeting. Despite the intense heat the organization's hall was packed to capacity and another hall acrosa an alley was requisitioned for the several hundred who could not find rooin in the regular assembly hall.

Presiding a t the main meeting was C. L. Melton, president of Local No. 2. Speakers included G. M. Forrester, comn~ercial agent, Springfield; C. H. Baltzell, special representative of the general manager, Springfield; George W. Moore, assistant superintendent of motive power, Springfield and Mr. Cornatzar.

"I hope you men in your business deliberations will give thought to the numerous bus and truck companies now operated on lines parallel to the railroad." said Mr. Cornatxar. "Every new one takes some of our business- and your business-and we should all do everything we can to increase our own traffic.

"There is nothing mysterious about traffic solicitation," he continued. "It just means mixing and mingling with your friends and neighbors and urg- ing them to use the railroad whenever possible for either freight or passenger trafftc." Mr. Cornatzar also spoke of accident prevention and said "Most of you men have a life- expectancy of many years-you a re too young not to be careful to fulfill it."

Mr. Baltzell said he was trying just then to get more passenger business for "this good old Frisco railroad" by inducing people to go to the Dempsey- Tunney fight via Frisco. He urged shop employes to ask their butchers. grocers, and everybody they do business with to patronize the Frisco ex- clusively. "Be on the lookout and

say something nice about t h e old Friuco," he told the shopmen.

Mr. Moore said that the Frisco has "plenty of cars and.plenty of locomotives to handle unlimited loadsw and that if this equipment is k e ~ t busy "every man will be employed every day."

Mr. Forrester ii~troduced the speakers a t the main meeting and W. W, Shackelford, chairman of the traffic committee of the west shops, intro. duced the same speakers a t the over- flow meeting.

The "Sunnyland Quartet," composed of Edgar Barnes, Roscoe Barnes, Frank Colvin and Jones Garner, pre. sented a groug of songs t o open the meeting.

During the business ~essIon which followed the speaking, the remlutlon was passed, Earl Genunn was re-elected division chairman, and A. E. God- frey and Roy Triplett were elected delegates to the annual convention of the associatlon, which was held a t Springfield September 19-20.

Local No. 1, of the associatlon, also of Springfield a t its "greater traffic" meeting held September 16, also passed the resolution. Approxlmately 200 persons attended thls meeting.

WHEREAS Pickwick Stages Sys- tem has made application to the Publlc Service Commission of Mis- souri for a certiflcate of public convenience and necessity to operate motor busses carrying passengers over Highway No. 71 between Kan- SRS City and Joplin, Missouri, and

WHEREAS the granting of such certificate by the commisslloit will result in greatly reducing the passenger revenue of the Frisco railroad in the State of Missouri and necessarily result in throwing man:. of the members of our association out of employment with the resulting hardship to ourselves and families, and we feel that there is no necessity o r need for the operation of this bus system or the granting of this certiflcate to applicant who is not a resident of the State of bIissouri and has contributed nothing toward the (building of State Highway No. 71, while t h e members of this association and the Frisco railroad, by whom we are employed, have paid a vast amount >f taxes to construct this and other state highways in the State of Mis- souri, and

WHEREAS the right of wav over which applicant proposes to oper- 3te is adequately served with pass- mger transportation by the Frisco "ailroad whose line of railroad will be parallel practically all of the way between Kansas City and Jop- lin on the proposed route of appli- -ant.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it re- d v e d by the Frisco Association ,f Metal Craft and Car Departmew' Employes Locals Nos. 1 and 2, 3nringfleld, Mo., that we and 2.000 nembers and the families of OUT members respectfully p r o t e s t 2gainst granting of said certificate by your honorable commission to his applicant for the reasons above iet forth and ask your commission o most carefullv consider the ef- 'ect of t h e grantine; of this certifi- :ate upon the members of this as- lociation and the families thereof ind upon numerous other citizens md tax payers of blissouri similar- jr situated.

FOR NEW EMPLOYES

Has the new employe been ad- vised what accident prevention really means? Safety instkuctions given the first day of a man's employment a re valuable but absolutely wasted unless they a re re- peated until the new employe heeds these instructions constantly in his line of work for the railroad.

If a new employe gets a bad s tar t and forms careless habitm he must learn again the right prac- tices.

The foreman must cooperate. He must be a firm believer in accident prevention and he must believe the employe can be trusted to make inspections and suggestions.

Employes should be encouraged to report anything in their work they think dangerous.

The average American believes in - government by majorities so long as the majority doesn't want something to which he objects.-Louisville Times.

your position a s a representative of the Frisco association and the re- sponsibility with which you have been charged by your constituents in elect- ing you to the position you hold is to see t o It that everyone gets a square deal in the ordinary every-day rela- tions between employes and their su- pervlsors. You a re expectea to in- vestigate all cases of alleged unjust treatment or "difference of opinion" arising under the provisions of the contract, affecting the men in your shops, that have not been satisfac- torily settled.

Whenever we, a s representathes of this organization, a re called into action it Is because some employe feels that he is not being treated fairly. and i t is the business of the representative t o see that justice is obtained. If, in your judgment, the employe is a t fault, or investigation develops the fact that the complaint is without merit, it is your duty t o make your client see, f f possible, where he is wrong in his complaint.

A s a member of your lodge or shop committee, you are going to get into very close touch with the little-and sornetlmes big-problems of everyday- living that will naturally arise whenever any gi5e@t number of people

If you want to be fair, you must not be influenced by friendship or hostil- i ty toward either of the parties involved in the dispute. You must not be governed in your convictions by any consideration other than the desire to give a square deal t o everybody. The most successful attorneys are the ones who keep their clients out of trouble by proper advice.

In my opinion, the qualifications most essential to successful service as a representative of this association are: First, ability to understand the provisions of our contract; second. a n open mind and a keen sense of fairness; third, intelligent reasoning powers and good judgment.

In conclusion, I would say that all of these things require strict honesty and due consideration for the rights of others, for without these i t would be useless to attempt to reach agreements that will be fair to all concerned.

LOYALTY If you work for a man, in heav-

en's name work for him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man, I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of his time, but all of his time. I would give a n undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, a n ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you mu8 vilify, condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position. and when you a re outside. damn to your heart's content. But, I pray you, so long a s you a r e a part of a n institution, do not condemn it.' Not that you will injure the institution - not that - but when you disparage the concern of which you a re a part, you disparage yourself.

C OLUMBUS, L o w 11 d e s County. Mississippi, is located on the new southern extension of the Frisco

LInea, 167 miles southeast of Memphis. The total distance of this road, which is being constructed from Aberdeen, Miss., to Kimbrough, Ala., is 1 5 1 miles, and traverses the Tombigbee Valley, which is known for the(ferti1ity of its soil and the wonderful possibilities of development. Columbus hqs a population of 15.000 and will .be the iaigest station o n the lplsco between Memphis and Pensacbla. I t is noted for its fine old homes, beautiful shade trees, broad and well-paved streets, Its splendid educational [acillties, and i ts friendly 'people. 1 ,..

Columbus is more than one hundred years old and up to a quarter of a century ago it was a typical old-fwh- ioned southern town, thoroughly satisfied with itself and enjoying its easy- going and carefree mode of liuing. Recent years, however, have brought to Columbus a new spirit of progress and a desire to take its place among the rapidly-growing cities of the South. Within the past fifteen years it has doubled in population, and a s a result of the announcement one year ago that the great Frisco Lines would build through this section, many new citizens have cast their lot with us

aud become a part of our community life.

For the beneflt of Fr-isco ~Magasirts readers, who may be unfamiliar with this new Frisco city, I shall point out a s briefly a s possible a few facts which may be of interest.

Columbus is on a bluff overlooking the Tombigbee River in the northeast- earn highlands of the state, 168 miles east of the Mississippi River, and is the trading center of all the counties surrounding It-flve in Mississippi and two in Alabama. The population of this trade territory is more than 150,- O0Q. In this county (Lowndes) there a& two distinct types of soil-the rich prairie lime land on the west side of the river and the sandy loam land on the east side. I t is In the heart of the finest potential dairy section of the South and for many years our farmers have been practicing the gos- pel of "diversification and the cow. the so$, and the -henm. Four larae condenseries have recently been located within two hours' driv'e of the

, city.

~ o l u m b u s has recent l j .completed and equipped a n > up-to-date dater- works, which can pump 3,000,000 gallons a day, with a storage capacity of 1,000,000 galIons. This county is blessed with fine artesian wells and an abundant S U P D ~ Y of water can easily be fouhd at- a ;depth of , from 150 to 600 feet.

The Drincihal industries OP Colum- bus include 'railroad shop5, -1fimber

mills, cotton mills, brick plant with a daily capacity of 125,000, florists and nurserymen, whose trade territory extends to all parts of the United States, marble manufacturing plant. two gravel plants which ship 12,000 cars annually. cotton oil mill~,,cotton compress, and two modern creamer- ies. But we a re by no mearig' sf&- fied-we want our payrolls to double within the next five years. Cheap power makes this city esp8Cially attractive a s a location lor new ifidus- tries. For some years the lumber industry has furnished a lafge source of revenue and within a radius of 30 miles of Columbus there a r e more than 200,000,000 feet 'of hardwood timber available for the manufacturer.

including t h e Frisco, four railroads enter Columbus, the other three being the Montgomery division of the Mo- bile & Ohio, the Southern, and the Columbus & Greenvllle. The !asla named road has Its general offices in this city.

At Columbus is located the Mlssis- sippf State ,Cohege for Women, th? largest institution of its kind in the South. I t has 1,500 students and 100 instructor$,. who contribute In a large degree to the social and educational life of the city during nine months of a the year. The college occupies 1 6 blocka In the heart of the city and its property valuation is $2,500,000.00. A building program is now being completed amounting ,to $725,000.00 for the two-gear phiod. It was founded

in 18S4 and is supported by the s tate for the benefit of Mississippi girls, who must be high school graduates In order to enter. It is the first institution of i ts kind in the United States to be established by a s tate exclusive- ly for girls, and has attracted much attention throughout the North and East. At a very moderate cost, a girl may have the advantage here of a s thorough a n education a s can be pro- cured in any other part of the country.

Columbus established the first free public school in the South. From that beginning more than a hundred years ago the present splendid system is the outcome. The city now maintains a new modern high school, a junior high school, two grammar schools and two sch0ols for negroes.

Like all educational centers, Colum- I is a city of churches, practically denomlnations being represented

handsome edifices and enthusiastic rkers. LII of the highways leading into umbus a r e improved, there being

miles of graveled roads in the nty and 10 miles of paved streets the city; 'he average temperature is 63 de- es, and Columbus thinks i t is ter- y cold if the mercury by any nee falls so low a s 30 degrees l e zero. Semi-tropical plants lrish and flg trees a re usual. The . leaves d o not fall from our trees

until Christmas time and the Arst

Iruit blossoms early in February. Mag- nolias aud other vegetation give a tropical richness to the landscape a t all seasons; the flowers blossom in gorgeous profusion and their delicious fragrance rivals the heavy-laden air of the tropics.

All these things come naturally to Columbus. E-ature's sunbeams warm the people and the plants-the soft gulf winds temper the winters and the summers. The delightful climate makes it possible for one to be out of doors all the year round, and opportunities for enjoying out-door sports of field and stream combine to make Columbus a Mecca for all who seek an ideal place to build new homes.

A hearty and cordial welcome awaits all good citizens who may cast their lot with "Columbus, the Friendly City".

ANOTHER GRATEFUL SHIPPER

Assurance that the Frisco Liner will be given preference in the handling of shipments made by The Marion Steam Shovel Company, of Marion, Ohio, is the reward t o this railroad for handling with almost express car speed a freight car , containing a n electric shovel consigned by the steam shovel company to Pitts- burg, Kans.

ThIa assutance is glven by Dale G. Higgins, sales engineer of the steam shovel company, in a letter he wrote

August 9 to W. G. Wolfe, general agent, Frisco Lines, Pittsburg. This letter was in part a s follows:

"We desire, through this letter. t o express to you our appreciation of the efficient manner i n which you and the personnel of your office handled the recent shipment of electric shovel from our company a t Marion. Ohio, to Pittsburg.

"It is through s e h handling of shipments by the -mrrler that our company is able to maintain a record for prompt delivery.

"Feel assured that wherever possible we will give your line preference on shipments a s you have evidenced a sincere desire to co-operate with us."

As the shipment was leaving Mar- ion, Mr. Wolfe's office informed '&%. P. Moses, who has charge of the red bali bureau in the office of J. H. Doggrell, Springileld, superintendent of transportation, of the importance, to the shipper of this freight movement and Mr. Moses wired shippers forethe car number and route to St. Louis and traced the car all the way through. The car made practically .. express time.

Ask your jeweler to show you the Hamilton 992 in railroad model case No. 4. Ic's a modcl of beauty wi th a "high visibility" dial and rigid bow that positively cannot come off-it's a pxrt
