of motive Dower; 

J. K. Gibson, his assistant; 

and C. J. Stephenson, assistant 

t . ~ the general manager, of 

Springfield. 

When the "Sunnyland" pulled into 

the Frisco's hanclsome new station at 

Pensr~co!a at 12:15 'Ionday afternoon, 

the club presidents got an immediate 

taste of Pcnsacola's famed hospitality. 

Through arrangements made by President 

,C. C. Shaw, of the Frisco Eniployes' 

Clul) of Pensacola, rund TV. H. 

Crowe, general agent at that point, 

the train was met by automobiles 

owned by Pensacolians and the club 

presidents were escorted to the hotel 

San Carlos, scene of convention activities, 

in an impressive parade. 

There they signed the roster of nttendance, 

registered into the hotel. 

and inspected with some amazement 

the convention programs handed them 

by Mrs. TY. H. Crowe and Mrs. Jack 

Crenshaw, who had charge of the 

registration. 

Business sessions each day were 

listed, of course, but in addition tho 

cluh presidents were surprised to sea 

that a dance at Sanders Beach. R 

boat ride on Pensacola Bay, anti-air- 

craft gun drill by the U. S. Coast 

Guard ilrtillery and a dress parade by 

the same unit, an automobile tour of 

Pensacola, a banquet, and airplane 

flights at the Naval Air St~tion Tor 

all who wishcd lo take them, comprised 

the eutertainu~ent part of the 

three clny session. 

"Business before pleasure" was the 

order, however, and following lunch, 

the delegates assembled in the ball 

room of the San Carlos where the 

first b~~siness session of the conventlon 

was called to order promplly at 

2:00 p. nl. by \V. L. Huggins, Jr., 

chairman of the central committee on 

employes' clubs. 

The shar~) rap of Lhe gavel had 

haidly (lied away when President J. 

W. Seabough of the Men's Club of 

Springfield took the floor and presented 

Chairman Huggins with a beautifui 

Ball watch, chain and knife, a gift from 

the combined employed clubs of the 

system. 

"In presenting you with this token 

of friendship and esteem," Seabough 

said, "we hope as the hours, days and 

years go by you will often be reminded 

of the gang who met with you in 

Pensacola in February of 1929. This 

present docs not come from or;^ 

or two or three clubs, but fro- 

the entire cluh fanlily over ~b 

system. We hope you will cri 

sidcr it as indicative of out ?;- 

preciation for the qood work y- 

are doing in uniting us iato . 

closer family of workers 31' 

friends for the betterment of ov 

selves and our railroad." 

Jn accepting the gift, Chalma: 

Huggins said: "I cannot tell yr: 

how greatly 1 appreciate this spl- 

-. 

did surprise. Association n'.' 

in the organization i 

ese cluhs has been ~i 

most pleasant part I ' 

my job with this r;d. 

road, and I am rc:; 

proud of the frieri 

ships wl~icl~ have I.:- 

sncd from our aor' 

together. Please 

c e p t my hcarlkl' 

thanlcs for this beak 

tiful gift." 

The cliairnlan theq 

read a letter frnr 

President J. 31. Kor? 

who was unable to 3' 

tend the meeting. 

The letter said 1 

part: 

"There has hr-- 

nothii~g in mg nln: 

than forty years

pleasure and gratification than the I 

suits obtained hy the activilies of I.

tion that we can bring about thic I I 

cellent spirit of co-operation. 1 

"The first law of inan is sel!nr 

servation. The destructive influvv1 

bearing on our livelihood, which .. 

constantly lcnoclcing at our very dl 

are : Reductions in rates, incrrpcost 

of materials, loss in passno: 

and freight traffic due to bus : 

truck inrasion, increased taxes.

i hopeless task unless we all put

y)u will do. While we all, more 

' 6, must at sometime use de- 

7~ tactics in order to preserve 

- l es, the offensive plan is al- 

rhe bettel7 of the two. The of- 

3 e plan in our case is increased 

q additional cars of freight 

~ldltional passengers. So let us 

t the offensive constantly. 

'1n1 to again express regret at 

- ilrillty to be with you, and to 

Inn opportunity of thanlting you 

. 'rough you each and every mem- 

.. ' Frisco employes clubs over the 

.: r. 

system, lor your interest and 

in the past, cherishing the 

rhat this spirit will be constant- 

ly demonslrated throughout the years 

to come." 

Great applanse greeted this mes- 

sage from the Frisco's president, and 

a motion was imniediately made, sec- 

onded and passed unanin~ously, in- 

structing the chairman to telegraph 

President Kurn assuring him of the 

whole-hearted support and co-opera- 

tion of the clubs of Frisco Lines in all 

matters pertaining to the betterment 

of the Frisco. 

With these preliminaries over, the 

delegates wttled down to a serious 

discussion of ways and moans to in. 

crease traffic for Frisco Lines through 

employe solicitation. 

The discussion was lead by Presi- 

dent Seabough of Springfield, who 

described in detail the manner in 

which the two Sl~ringfield clubs have 

organized into four traffic teams, each 

with a captain, and entered into a 

spiriled contest for tips on business. 

RIr. Seabough urged the adoption of 

a resolution by the presidents endors- 

ing the plan as standard for all clubs 

on the railruad. 

In the discussion which ensued 

President L. TV. Cavi~less of Fort 

Smith advocated the plan of his club, 

in which tips were handled in the 

same manner as in Springfield, but 

the actual business secured from 

these tips was traced, and reported. 

"We are not satisfied with tips 

alone," Caviness said. "Our club 

members want to know if their tips 

have resulted in business actually 

moving over our railroad. In order to 

give them this information we have 

aslted the traffic department to give 

us a report. It' we do not follow r~p in 

this manner we are in the same position 

as a duck hunter who fires often 

at his game but does not bother to 

pick them up." 

Following the cliscussion the chairman 

appointed a committee to draw 

up a resolution setting forth stanclarc1 

practices to be observed in employe 

solicitation, with President Sea-

ough as chairman, and Presidents 

Schoenberg. Tulsa; Lamont. St. 

Louis; Estes, Muskogee, and Calvert, 

Wichita, as members. 

The committee's recommendatior~a 

were: that a standard form be adopted 

and printed to be used by the entire 

club family, "to take caw of and 

provide ample evidence that our employes 

are laklng nn Interest in this 

most important campaign of traffic 

solicitation. All forms nre to be pre 

pared lu &chon, original sent to traffic 

department, and carlmn copy to 

club prestdent for permanent record 

and sue11 acknowledgment as he may 

determine. Club presidents will handle 

Iocally the development of record 

of such tlps that have been realized 

Into actual traffic, such data to be 

sent to Central Chairman Huggins for 

the annuel report on club activities." 

Thus all tips on freight and passenger 

business will be followed 

through to a conclusion, and the record 

will clearly show the actual 

amount of I~usiness secured through 

tills from eml)loyes. 

The first meeting adjourned promptly 

at 5 o'clock, and the delegates took 

advantage 01 the three hours before 

their eveuing entertainment to get 

their first look at Pensacola. 

At S:30 Alonday evening, the club 

bresidents together with nlemheis of 

the Frisco family in Pewsacola assenlb1c.d 

at Santlers Deach paviliou 

lor the dance wh~ch had been arranged 

hy the Flisco Employes' Club of 

Pensacula in honor of the risitors. 

The program was broadcast over 

Radio Statiou WCOA, Pensacola's 

municipally owned station. 

A l~rogranl had heen arranged prior 

to lhe dancing, and the first order of 

the evening was an address of we1 

come by Hon. Harvey J. Bayliss, 

mayor of Pensacola. In his address 

Alayur Bayliss stressed the earnest 

tiesire of Pensacola to show the visilors 

the "time of your lives," and 

urged the cluh presidents lo ask for 

anything they wanted and did not 

see. 

"We have long since abandoned the 

custom 01 turning o\ er the key oL' thr 

city to our visitors," hlayor Bayliss 

said. "The~e is IIO key to PensacoIa. 

This splendid gulf bort city is always 

open to our Ir~mds and our nlliesthe 

Frisco Employes." 

Chairman Huggins inade the response 

on hehalf of the clul~ presicleuts, 

and thanked the Mayor and the 

people of Pensacola for their wplendid 

reception of the Frisco visitors. 

"Of all the cities on Frisco Liues, 

the club l~residents preferred Pensacola 

for their 1929 meeting, because 

it is here that the 79 year old dream 

of I'risco Lines to reach tide-water

rr;hr applause. "We know on Frise

I h~lie~e that the splendid organ- 

s..; of these Frisco Employes' 

r-9 has had a great deal to do with 

c:+uping that spirit on the Frisco 

h.-ud. And it has occurred to me 

s: times that we should have a 

trar organization, a sort of direct- 

1 ??ad, for these clubs. I have al- 

1: been interested in traffic club 

ni and I think one of the finest 

rr ever Ioimulated in this country

~iraan organization of all the 

clubs throughout the continent, 

r: 'we central head. 

'"ny can we not have that sort of 

m~ization right here on I"risco 

&:Why not link all of these clubs 

r 1 solidified, well functioning cen- 

arganization? I do not mean that 

F bdividual club should use its in- 

s uality or its name. What I sug- 

gest is the setting up of a head body 

through which all of the clubs might 

function for the good of the clubs as 

a whole. 

"I wish to leave that thought with 

you in conclusion, and I'd like to sug- 

gest that by forming such an organiza- 

tion you will make the Frisco Rail- 

road a better railroad, make your 

clubs better clubs and secure more 

business and make more friends, 

through just such an organization." 

Mr. Butler's suggestion mas enthu- 

siastically discussed by the delegates, 

and after discussing the matter from 

all sides, motion was made that the 

organization be formed. 

In the election which followed the 

"ayes" carried by a large majority, 

and the election of officers was next 

in line. 

Chairman Huggins was elected by 

acclamation to serve as President of 

the Associated Frisco Employes' 

Clubs. J. W. Seabough of Springfield 

was chosen vice-president in a close 

race with R. L. Schwnberg of Tulsa, 

and Miss Martha C. Moore of the 

publicity department in St. Louis, was 

unanimously elected secretai y-treas- 

urer. 

The chair then appointed a corn- 

mittee to draft by-laws governing the 

Associated Frisco Employes' Clubs. 

consisting of Estes, Oklahoma City, 

chairman; Charles, Monett : Lainont. 

St. Louis: Caviness, Ft. Smith, and 

IJcClaren, Henryetta. 

The by-laws. read aud adopted by 

the delegates I>y unanimous vote arr3 

as follows: 

(1) This organization shall be 

known as the Association of 

Greater Frisco Employes' Clubs. 

(2) Its persolinel shall coiisist 

of a President, Vice-president, 

Secretary2Treasurer. to be elected 

annually at the convention of 

Club Presidents. 

(3) Its object is to weld a clos- 

er friendship one with another, 

keeping in mind at all times a de- 

sire to assist the St. Louis and 

San Francisco Railway Coinpan>r 

in any and all of its undertakings 

~Vhere possible to do so without 

injury to ourselves or our inter- 

ests, it being understood this club 

does not now or at any time con- 

flict with other o~ganizations. 

(4) Items brought to the atten- 

tion of individual clubs or the 

President of the Greater Club, for 

the benefit of the organization as 

a whole, shall be submitted to the 

clubs as a whole for their action, 

and vote must be taken witshin 

thirty days and decided by a two 

thirds vote of the majority of the 

clubs. 

(5) The constitution and by- 

Page 7 

laws shall be voted upon by the 

individual clubs over the system, 

and adoption or changes can be 

determined only by a two thirds 

rote of the clubs. 

(6) This constitution and by- 

laws shall become effective after 

adoption by a two thirds vote of 

the Associated Clubs. 

The meeting adjourned at 11:30 in 

order that the delegates might have 

time for lunch prior to gathering at 

the foot of Palafox Street pier, to em- 

bark on the boat ride arranged for 

them that afternoon. The tug boat 

"Jenltins," loaned by Col. H. L. Butler, 

commanding officer of the Coast 

Guard Artillery unit at Pensacola, left 

the docks promptly at 1:00 p. m. with 

the club presidents aboard. 

The trip as planned, contemplated 

disembarking at Fort Pickens for an 

inspection of the coast guard defense 

guns, and a dress parade at Fort Bar- 

rancas. But Jupiter Pluvius decided 

to arrange the party himself, and sent 

a drenching rain which kept up the 

entire afternoon, necessitating can- 

cellation of the inspection and parade 

plans. The "Jenltins" returned to the 

Pnlafox street pier at 5 o'cIock, and 

the presidents returned to their hotel 

to dress for the banquet which was 

scheduled for 7 p. m. 

One hundred persons, including club 

presidents and their wives, out of 

town Frisco officials and officials in 

Pensacola, Pensacola shippers and 

business men, were guests of Frisco 

Lines at the banquet. 

An entertainment program arranged 

by Johnny Frenkle, Pensacola's fa- 

vorite songster, included song num- 

bers by himself, piano selections by 

Miss Sybil XIcNair, several southern 

melodies by the Star Quartette, negro 

songsters, and a reading by Miss 

Martha C. Moore. L. S. Baney, presi- 

dent of the Joplin club and composer 

of "Songs of the Frisco Clubs" led 

the banquet guests in three of the 

club songs. 

Seated at the speakers table were 

Mayor Bayliss, Col. H. L. Butler, com- 

manding officer of the Coast Artil- 

lery at Pensacola; Commander W. G. 

Child, U. S. W., in charge of the Pen- 

sacola Naval Air Station; Hon. E. R. 

Malone, president of the American 

National Bank of Pensacola and Mr. 

S. S. Butler, general traffic manager. 

Chairman Huggins presided as toast- 

master. 

Mayor Bayliss repeated his wel- 

come, and urged the Frisco visitors to 

return soon again for another visit in 

Pensacola. 

Col. Butler, in a short address, told 

the banqueters he was more sorry 

than they that the afternoon's rain 

had prevented a fulfillment of the pro-

gram he had arranged at Forts Pick- 

ens and Barrancas. 

"Come back again, as Mayor Bayliss 

has requested, and I'll promise to 

make up to you what today's down- 

pour prevented today," he said. 

A series of short and highly humor- 

ous stories gleaned from his twenty 

three years' service in the United 

States Navy was Commnder Child's 

contribution to the evening's enter- 

tainment. 

Mr. Xlalone, in a seriehuniorous ad- 

dress, stressed the importance of com- 

pany loyalty such as was manifest by 

the meeting together of men in the 

interests of themselves and their com- 

pany, and praised highly the initiative 

of the club presidents in fostering and 

organizing this highly important work. 

Mr. Butler's introduction by the 

toastmaster limited him to humorous 

remarks, and that "limitation" seem- 

ed to suIt the diners. The large va- 

riety of stories and anecdotes possess- 

ed by the Frisco's general traffic man- 

ager is legendary on the Frisco, and 

for forty-five minutes he kept his 

hearers in gales of laughter over the 

caperings of "3Iose and Mandy," farn- 

ed southern negro charders who 

niay be mythical, but whom Nr. But- 

ler located around Murphysboro, 

Tenn., where he was born. 

The banquet ended at 10:30 and 

with only one more short business 

session the next morning, the presi- 

dents' visit to Pensacola would end. 

A paper packed with illuminating 

statistics concerning the "Frisco Dol- 

lar-Where It Comes and How It 

Goes", was read to the delegates at 

the business session the next morn- 

ing by Mr. E. H. Bunnell, comptrol-

"You have been discussing various 

ways and means of increasing the 

number of dollars in the Frisco treas- 

ury," Mr. Bunnell began, "now, let's 

find out where that dollar goes after 

it is earned, as well as seeing from 

whence it comes." (Editor's note: 

Readers will find charts and explan- 

atory article of this address on page

Magazine 1. 

"From our analysis of that average 

Frisco dollar," Nr. Bunnell continued, 

"we find that we receive 73.48 cents 

of it from transportation of freight, 

12.79 cents from passengers, and the 

remainder from miscellaneous sources. 

"In the disbursement of that dollar 

we And that 66.15 cents of it goes for 

railway operating expenses, of which 

amount 42.22 cents goes for labor. 

Taxes take 5.71 cents; materials and 

supplies 12.42 cents; and fuel 6.24 

cents. Interest on bonds takes 17.43 

cents, leaving for dividends and sur- 

plus 9.29 cents out of each dollar. 

"Now, it is the prime duty and re- 

sponsibility of the accountihg depart- 

ment to account for the dollar, and 

since the company's business is oper- 

ated on a budget basis it is necesary 

that at the beginning of each year we 

prepare a forecast based on anticipat- 

ed number of carloads of freight, pas- 

senger earnings and so forth. 

"Right at this time we find that the 

problem before us is to get the busi- 

ness before June first. At that time 

the crops start moving, and our prob- 

lem will be lessened. But until June, 

please remember that every passen- 

ger and every LCL or carlot shipment 

will help. Our fixed expense for 

operation of trains will permit us to 

add on many carloads and passengers 

without increasing that expense. In 

this respect, you may greatly help 

US." 

Chairman Huggins read telegrams 

from Mayor W. C. Dean of Olrlahoma 

City, and Mr. Ed. Overholser, presi- 

dent of the Oklahoma City Chamber 

of Commerce, inviting the club presi- 

dents to hold their third annual con- 

vention in that city. 

On motion of D. L. Estes of Okla- 

homa City, the presidents voted to 

meet in Oklahoma City in 1930, con- 

tingent upon the approval of the com- 

pany's officers. 

The remainder of the morliing session 

was given over to a pointed discussion 

of club activities in cities 

where meetings were held irregularly. 

The chairman called on several 

club presidents to explain their troubles, 

and following each report, various 

other presidents offered suggestions 

tending to help iron out the difficulties 

presented. 

Motions were passed instructing the 

chairman to convey the thanks of the 

presidents to the Mayor and through 

him to Pensacola's citizens for the 

wonderful reception, to thank the 

manager of the San Carlos for the 

splendid service of the hotel, and to 

thank the Frisco Employes' Club of 

Pensacola and General Agent Crowe 

for their part in the entertainment of 

the presidents. 

The final business session closed at 

11:30 o'clock in order that the presidents 

have time in which to take a 

short motor tour of Pensacola, and 

inspect the Frisco terminals and dock 

facilities prior to 2:00 p. n ~ the , hour 

at which their train left for the 

North. The nearness of train departure 

and unseasonable weather made 

necessary the cancellation of the airplane 

flights at the Naval Air Station. 

That "this is the finest meeting I 

ever attended", seemed to be the sentiment 

of each club president, and the

The Dairy and Poultry Institute 

held at Thayer, Mo., February 14-16, 

was attended, at each meeting, by ap- 

proximately 25 farmers, even though 

many of the roads were impassable, it 

was reported at the February 18 meet- 

ing of the Frisco Employes' Club of 

Thayer, which, with the Chamber of 

Commerce and the Oregon County 

Fair Association. fostered the insti- 

tute. The meeting of the club was 

held at the Y. $1. C. A. Had the roads 

been in good condition, it was re- 

ported, the attendance at the insti- 

tute would have been approximately 

200. 

At the January 21 meeting of the 

club, which was attended by members 

of the commerce chamber and the fair 

association, it was suggested that the 

three organizations work together to 

handle the institute and a committee, 

composed of members of the three or- 

ganizations, was appointed. The com- 

mittee met the following day and or- 

ganized the Progressive Dairy and 

Poultry Club, a permanent organim 

tion to be composed of members of 

the three bodies, and to handle mat- 

ters of conununity interest. 

At the February 18 meeting of the 

Frisco Employes' Club of Thayer. 

short talks were made by several of 

the members. The attendance and the 

interest manifested at this meeting 

indicated, according to T. H. Edmund- 

son, secretary of the club, in his min- 

utes of the meeting, that Frisco em- 

ployes at Thayer are taking more in- 

terest in the club work, and Mr. Ed- 

mundson wrote in these minutes: 

"Feel that in a short time we will 

have a good attendance at all of our 

meetings." 

H. E. Davis, road foreman of equip- 

ment, spoke briefly. Visitors included 

C. W. Black, editor, Thayer News;

Ray Martin, druggist, and Mr. Du 

Boies, merchant. 

After the club had finished its meet- 

ing the entire assemblage attended 

the meeting that night of the Cham- 

ber of Commerce, which was held in 

the same hall where the club had met 

lhat night. 

Ames, Okla. 

Traffic solicitation and accident pre- 

ventiou were themes of talks at the , 

meeting of the Frisco Employes' Club 

of Ames, Okla., held February 27. 

The meeting was called to order by 

C. Laubhan, section foreman and 

president of the club. He said in part: 

"This meeting is not only a get-to- 

gether meeting, we are here to talk 

and bring in more business for the 

Company, as the more business the 

better our condition will be. It is my 

desire to make friends and try to se- 

cure more traffic for the Company 

at all times. Men, I wish to state 

that to secure this business we must 

have the good wiIl of all and when we 

make a purchase call the merchant's 

attention, 'Don't forget to ship Frisco 

Lines only.' " 

L. B. Lindley, agent, and secretary 

of the club, said that the revenue at 

his station was increasing daily, due 

to work of the club. He said, also: 

"I recall that a short time ago I 

heard a lady in a store talking to an- 

other lady about making a trip to 

Litchfield, Ill., via St. Louis. She 

was talking of going from Enid to 

St. Louis via bus line. I called on 

the lady that afternoon, advised her 

of the railroad connections, rate, etc., 

and secured the business, selling her 

through to Litchfield, Frisco to St. 

Louis, Wabash." 

John Hossington, section laborer, 

said he thought the club's meetings 

were good things for the company 

and that he was doing all he could 

to help them along. Frank Gibson, 

a drayman, said: "I am still in the 

market for more Frisco business, as 

that means more dray business, and 

business is what I am after." The slo- 

gan of this club is "Hustle the Busi- 

ness." 

Sapulpa, Oklu. 

An account of the trip to Pensacola 

to attend the second annual conven- 

tion of presidents of Frisco employes' 

clubs was given by Leonard A. 

Wright, president of the Frisco Em-

ployes' Club of Sapulpa, Okla., at the 

opening of the club's session of 

.\larch 6. 

Several new industries, federal 

buildings and a hospital are to be lo- 

cated on the Western division and 

arrangements mere made at this meet- 

ing of the club for an effort to obtaii~ 

the hauling of as niuch of the mate- 

rials to be used in this construction 

as coultl be obtained for the Frisco.

business was inade by the following 

members: H. W. Hale, J. A. Hutch- 

ison, A. Morgan, J. R. Dritt, Earl Wool-

John Stroud, engineer, spoke on bus 

and truck traffic regulation, and on 

Oklahoma House Bill No. 361, which 

concerned bus and truck lines and 

which was scheduled to conle up for 

vote the next day. A motion was 

made by Mr. Hutchison, and seconded 

by H. W. Hale, assistant superintend- 

ent, that the club send a night letter 

to the representatives from Creek 

county, asking them to vote favor- 

ably on this bill. The motion car- 

ried unanimously. 

Because a larger nuinber of train 

and engine men are in the terminal 

on Monday nights than IVednesday 

nights, the club decided to change the 

regular meeting date of the club from 

the first Wednesday of each month 

to the first Xonday of each month. 

President Wright voiced his appre- 

ciation of the large atteudance, 43 

persons, and asked that each one pres- 

ent attend the next meeting of the 

club and bring as many more out as 

they possibly could. 

The by-lams of the Frisco Em- 

ployes' Club of Sapulpa, Okla., were 

amended at the meeting of the club 

held February 20 so that the officers 

of the club will be elected once a 

rear instead of every six months. 

The annual election, according to the 

amendment, mill be at the first regu- 

lar meeting after the first of the 

year. 

A. &organ, chief clerk, talked about 

a bill then before the legislature of 

Oklahoma that would regulate bus and 

truck traffic. J. R. Dritt, agent, 

talked on business solicitations. S. 

B. Moore, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,

s1rc of Fcbr-zcnl-y IS: 

A matter has been brought to 

our attention that we believe you 

will help us correct. We learn that 

through carelessness, perhaps a 

large amount of freight tonnage 

coming into Amory is allowed to 

be shipped over other railroad6 

than "our" Frisco and the transfer 

made at such points as Tupelo for 

the "short-haul" here. 

An official of the road who vis- 

ited Amory yesterday stated that 

freight shipped over one line 

would unquestionably get better 

service than if handled several 

times. While this is a good point 

lor consideration, let us first con- 

sider the main reason why we 

should designate all "Frisco" rout- 

ing. The Frisco railroad had a 

big palmt in "making" Amory. The 

biggmt industry in Amory with a 

payroll of $50.000 is the Frisco. 

Our merchants are dependent to a 

large extent upon the pay checks 

of Frisco me11 to pay for the freight 

and the merchandise. 

Can we afford, as a matter of 

principle, to forget this duty. 

When you order specify "Fris- 

co" routing all the way, and you 

will be helping those who are help- 

ing you.

on what had been accon~plished by

Arkansas City, Karzs. 

"Every Frisco employe should he a 

Frisco salesman," states the minutes 

of the meeting of the Frisco En~ployes' 

Club of Arkansas City, Kans., held 

February 12. 

H. R. Smyer, agent, opened the 

meeting. General discussion was held 

on the prospects for Frisco business 

during 1929. The concensus of opin- 

ion was that conditions were never 

better, the agricultural outlook being 

exceedingly bright, building and other 

construction work apparently on the 

upward trend and seemingly all busi- 

ness firms reporting increases over 

the corresponding period of the pre- 

vious year. 

Reports were made that i\Iary 

Quade, assistant cashier, had obtained 

a routing order on a car of fountain 

fruit and syrup from Rochester, N. Y.,

tendance was fourteen.

taining five and one-half tickets to

A. . Foreman said that petitions 

Frisco employes and patrons of the 

Frisco had signed for control of buses 

and trucks were before the Missouri 

legislature. Jack Shepard told of 

writing State Senator Dear~nont with 

reference to regulation of trucks and 

buses and that the senator had prom- 

ised to do all he could in favor of 

the Frisco. J. S. NcMillan spoke on 

bus and truck competition and spoke 

of every Frisco employe obtaining all 

the business he or she could. E. Se- 

bastian and John F. Neal, ticket agent 

and president of the club, discussed 

the possible changing of the time of 

trains 875 and 876 so that they would 

make connections with trains 805 and 

806. 

Joplin, Mo. 

Approximately 100 persons, com-

tions through Clinton. He gave this 

talk so that employes would be able 

to tell shippers of Frisco service in 

that region. He stressed the impor- 

tance of little tips, whether he was 

able to get business from them or 

not. He said that business was in-

"WHO AM I??? ' 

fly J. D. BROWN 

I am more powerful than all 

armies and navies. The greatest 

quns of the world are my play- 

things. I ride battleships, rail- 

road trains and ar~tomobiles. One- 

armed and one-legged men at the 

crossings have met and know me 

to their sorrow. I sneak into rail- 

road shops, railroad yards, manu- 

facturing plants. I ride on rail- 

road trains, both passenger and 

freight. I patronize great ships on 

the ocean and ships of the air. J 

like automobiles and big trucks. 

Widows and orphans know me. I 

rejoice over a fatherless child. I 

am generally quiet and silent, but 

my hands drip with bloOc1. My 

side partners are Failure and Mis- 

ery. I gloat over conflagrations 

and wrecks of the highway, the 

sea, the railroad, the shop. The 

more terl'ible they are the more I 

laugh. 

Once s man said to me-"The 

best safety device is a careful 

man." He told the truth, hut I got 

him the next day-he has one leg 

left. He forgot-men who are 

careless are my friends. JIen and 

women with sightless eyes-I glory 

in their unhappiness for I did it. 

So home, no shop. no hank, no of- 

fice, no ship, no train, no automo- 

bile can bar m? out for the Devil 

is my friend, my buddy, my work- 

ing mate. I dip my hands in scar- 

let pools where I have sucked the 

blood of many good men and wom- 

en after they became acquainted 

with me I have no conscience; I 

am relentless: J delight in wreck- 

ing homes and mutilxting human 

beings, even little children. They 

weep-I laugh. Accidents are my 

favorite and Hellish field. My har- 

vest in one day in a big city was 

seven little children. A half min- 

ute wait before crossing the street 

made the difference between reach- 

ing home and the hospital. I never 

give-I always take. I destroy, I 

crush, I maim, my working mate is 

Death. He helps me to make deso- 

late homes, widows and fatherless 

children; we glory over these 

things. One of our favo~lte spots 

is railroad crossings. Careful men 

avoid me. I am never idle, I cost 

you nothing save when you ignore 

me. My footsteps are familiar 

with the road to the cemetery. You 

may be acquainted with me but a 

moment, but I will show you the 

Road. 

Do you know me? My name is 

"CARELESSNESS." 

"Cotton Town", Earl Schumaker;

HIGHEST POINT IN OZARKS 

"Seymour, AIissouri, thirty-six miles 

from Springfield, Mo., on the Frisco's 

Kansas City-Memphis line may rightly 

be called the 'Summit City of the 

Ozarks'," writes A. H. Kindrick, civil 

engineer of that city. "Its elevation 

above sea level is greater than any 

other incorporated city on the Frisco 

Railroad in Missouri." 

Two blocks south of the Frisco sta- 

tion and high above buildings and 

treetops, a steel tower supports a 75,- 

000 gallon steel tank, the top of 

which is 1,792 feet above sea level 

and is the highest point, natural or 

artificial in the State of Missouri. The 

steel tank is the most visible part of 

a very excellent and modern water- 

works system which, for purity and 

abundance of supply, adequate flre 

protection and convenience for domes- 

tic purposes, ranks as one of the best 

in the state. 

In 1926 Seymour won the "Cleanest 

City Contest" sponsored by the 

Springfield, Mo., Chamber of Coin-

LOCOMOTIVE FUEL PERFORMANCE RECORDS 

Ofice of Fuel Agent VI 

CTEL performance statistical reports 

for the month of February. 

1929, reflect an increase in unit 

consumption of fuel in freight, passenger 

and switch service for the system, 

compared with same month in 

year 1928. 

This showing is rather disappointing 

for the second month of the year, 

however, weather conditions were 

more severe which directly affected 

the performance in each class of sew 

ice in that it necessitated cut in train 

haul and required more steam heat on 

passenger trains. 

In freight service, fuel consumption 

per 1,000 gross ton miles was 200 

pounds versus 190 pounds last year, 

which is an increase of 5.26 per cent. 

Train haul decreased to some extent, 

principally due to weather conditions 

and was the principle factor affecting 

performance. 

I11 passenger service, despite an increase 

in cars per train mile, fuel per 

passenger car mile increased from 

16.7 to 17 pounds, or 1.80 per cent. 

Only two divisions in this class of 

service were able to make a decrease 

over performance for same month 

pise\rious year, namely, Southern division 

7.78 per cent and the Central 

1.03 per cent decrease. 

Switch performance increased from 

155 to 162 pounds per switch locomm 

tive mile or 4.51 per cent. 

The system standard for each class 

of service month of March is as follows: 

freight service 185 pounds per 

1,000 gross ton miles; passenger service 

15.2 pounds per passenger car 

mile and switch service 145 pounds 

per switch locomotive mile. These 

standards are based on the goal set 

for the year taking in a reduction 

over previous year of 5 pounds in 

freight service, .5 pound in passenger 

service and 7 pounds in switch service. 

The year of 1929 promises to be a 

banner year in fuel economy and a 

comparatively poor showing made in 

the first two months should not retard 

our efforts to reach the goal set 

in each class of service. 

While the system fuel performance 

for February was above last year, 

nevertheless there mere some very 

good fuel records established, one especially 

which was made on the Cm 

lumbus Sub-division of the Southern 

division and is as follows: 

Engineer i\I. E. KEULY, Fireman E. 

F. Rowe and Conductor PAT KEN- 

DALL, handled a freight train on Feb- 

ruary 16 with engine 1627 from Amory 

to Demopolis, a distance of 122 miles, 

in 9 hours and 50 minutes. This train 

consisted of 56 loaded cars or 4,033 

gross tons, 11 tons of coal were burn- 

ed on the trip which is an average of 

4.5 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles. 

This record is a splendid one and is 

an example of what can be accomp- 

lished through the co-operation of en- 

gine and train crews in saving fuel. 

Additional fuel records are as fol- 

lows:

Attract ioe Homemade Table Decorations 

T is usually a joint arrangementthis 

matter of an entertainment 

I program of the Frisco Employes' 

Clubs, and the ladies usually arrange 

the program and, of course, when 

there is a dinner to serve, the wives 

and mothers of Frisco employes take 

great pains in providing the menu 

and in decorating the tables. 

TO some folks, decorations are a 

large part of the dinner and it is true 

that proper decorations give the 

proper atmosphere. 

The St. Louis Girls' Club has always 

found that decorations on the speakers' 

table and on the smaller tables 

have added to the color of the iuonthly 

meeting, and the Springfield Girls' 

Club have also gone in for elaborate 

decorations. 

Flowers, especially in the smaller 

cities, are hlgh and rather hard to find 

in off-seasons, although they are plentiful 

from the Frisco's own flower beds 

in sunlnlertime. But now that springtime 

is so near, we are likely to be 

impatient for flowers, and they are 

desired for homes and for gatherings 

Of friends long before the sun brings 

them to the gardens. 

Perhaps one of the most colorful 

and most beautiful of all the spring 

blooms is the stately tulip and these 

may be had in profusion if they are 

made from beautiful shades of crepe 

papel'. 

A group of Frisco wives and mothers 

may meet for an afternoon just 

before the next social gathering and 

make enough of these lovely blooms 

to tastily decorate any banquet hall 

or room. 

And here is how it is done! Two 

shades of crepe paper are used for 

the two-toned petals of the tulips. 

Some attractive combinations are 

violet and purple, light and dark amber, 

heliotrope and violet, purple and 

fuchsia, light and dark pink. or flame 

and salmon. Moss green will also be 

required for the leaves and stems, and 

black crepe paper is necessary for the 

tulip center. Denison Craft Service 

Wire No. 9 is also needed for the 

stems-besides paste and scissors. 

To make the pattern for the petal, 

sinlply trace an elongated oval on to 

tissue paper, and then recut in card- 

board. For a leaf pattern, take a 

piece of paper ten inches long and 

one and three-quarters inches wide. 

Fold this through the center, and 

from a point half-way down. grad- 

ually taper this to a point at the 

top and to one-half inch at the bot- 

tom, keeping the sides rounded. Open 

this cut to a full she, and recut in 

cardboard. 

For each tulip cut two strips of 

crepe paper in the colors selected. 

four inches wide by twelve Inches 

long. Place one on top of the other 

and paste lightly along the edge. 

Then cut six double petals, using the 

pattern. Cup each petal with the 

lighter shade outside. To do this. 

place the thumbs on one side and 

forefinger near the edges on the other 

side and push out into cup shape. 

For the center, cut two strips of 

crepe, black and green, three inches 

wide and two and one-half inches 

long. Fold and cut a fine fringe one 

inch deep. Roll this fringe for the 

center and fasten with fine wire. 

Now to assemble the flower, place 

the petals around the center, the dark 

shade inside and tips one and one- 

fourth inch above the center, each 

petal overlapping. Then place the 

next three on the outside each be- 

tween two petals already pk 

Fasten all together. 

For the stem, cut across the 6 p 

a one-half inch wide strip. And 

the leaves cut a 10-inch ride at: 

inches long. Fold and cut out fat?' , 

the leaves. Wrap the stem by bi' 

ing the narrow strip around the b 

of the flower and winding it ti$ 

stretching the paper fully. Md a' 

inch piece of No. 9 mire and con+ 

wrapping the stem smoothly, slar.. 

it downward and twirling the r' 

Insert the leaves, two on each rr - 

with the stein wrapping. 

And, before long, a Rasketfu!

The Thrilling Adventures of Timmy Boy 

PART I1 

IMMY'S mother lay in a faint on 

the ground. Timmy's father, his 

,bee drawn and white, re-read

the train searched. We'll find the little 

fellow-if he's to be found. You

"Here," said Timmy's father. "Read

Big Bill read it slowly and then rekhy, 

We'll give him schoolin' read it again. "I'll take this along 

cd learn him to read and write." and hand it to one of the detectives.

tent. 

Mary was seated on the couch with 

Timmy's mother, her arms around her 

shoulders. "Oh-why did I leave him 

for a minute. The precious little lamb. 

Who'd a thought there was such 

sneaks around a circus-I only left

and she buried her face on the

bkft an hour before the show was 

won in the circus ring. 

She hurried into her street clothes 

with Mary's assistance-tears blinding 

her eyes. Timmy Boy's father 

also stepped into his dressing room 

and changed to his street clothes. 

Through the streets-up and down 

the alleys over the town they tramped 

urltil the sun had gone down. 

Circus folks know, that despite 

death-despite ill fortune of any kind, 

the show must go on. Even this disappearance 

of Timmy must not make 

any difference in the evening's performance. 

The show could not do 

without the act of the famous Joe 

Swartz, the most daring trapeze performer 

in the morld. Neither could it 

do without the act which Timmy's 

Boy's mother performed before the 

thousands which gathered there for 

the evening show. They were both 

Page 31 

featuresand so as the sun went 

down the little party which had 

searched so frantically over the city 

wended its way toward the big circus 

tent. 

Timmy's Boy's mother collapsed on 

the couch after her return, and the 

most tempting delicacies had no ap- 

peal for her. 

They were aroused by Mary who 

came in with the little costume. "It's 

a shame-but Big Bill is expecting 

your act tonight. You'll have to go 

through with it somehow, though the 

Lord knows how you'll do it. Maybe 

-maybe out there you might get a 

clue-maybe they'd bring him to the 

circus to escape from the police that's 

got the town surrounded." 

Although Mary knew that the last 

place to find the baby was in the cir- 

cus tent, it gave to Timmy's mother 

a little courage and she rose and 

slowly slid into her costume. 

With his arm around her waist, 

Timmy's father led her into the big 

circus tent. Every eye in the house 

was focused on her-and her act went 

through without a blundler, altho to 

those who knew what she could do, it 

was a listless performance. The eyes 

of every circus employe were focused 

on her-fearing that she might col- 

lapse. 

Her final bow came and she was 

carried to the dressing room. 

A little later in the evening the 

stakes were pulled up-the canvas 

folded and the big red wagons loaded 

on a train. The circus was going to 

leave town. 

It quitely slid out of the yards and 

on the back platform of one of the 

cars stood Timmy's mother and 

father-watching the little city fade 

from sight. 

"Timmy Boy-oh Timmy Boy- 

where are you," said his mother as 

she stretched her arms toward the lit- 

tle city. 

"He'll soon be with us again honey," 

said Timmy Boy's father. "It's-it's 

heard to leave-but the show has got 

to go on, and-we've got to go with 

it."

I INVENTS VALVE MACHINE 

By EMERY HAGUEWOOD 

Several years ago when it was necessary 

to rebore valve bushings and 

valve chambers on locomotives in the 

erecting shop at Springfield north 

roundhouse, the only machine for this 

purpose was a heavy cylinder boring 

bar which was often shipped to other 

points and was seldom available when 

needed at Springfield. 

Foreman A. E. Bolles, acting under 

the impulse "Necessity Is the Mother 

of Invention", set out to get a machine 

especially for boring valve 

bushings and valve chambers. 

In a short time this idea was a 

reality and a special valve boring bar 

had been constructed mostly by his 

own mechanics and at little cost, 

which mas much lighter and easier 

to handle and has since been in successful 

use. 

Recently Foreman Bolles conceived 

the idea of replacing valve bushings 

by power instead of man strength and 

by the addition of a small attachment 

to his valve boring bar gear it served 

the purpose of pulling in valve bushings 

at a great saving of time and 

la bor. 

The new valve bushing puller recently 

was tried out in the erecting 

shop in renewing valve bushings on 

. engine 4141 and proved a success. An 

air motor furnished the necessary 

porn-er to operate. 

It is really amazing how many peo- 

ple are heroes-to hear them tell it. 

flnrold Jaques, zoelterweiglrt, Irrtozen~ as 

the "~i.lissouri Wildcat", is the eighteen 

year old son of M. Jaqucs, Frisco conduc- 

tor on the Central division. He has seven 

knochouts to his credit and met his first 

defent on Febrtiary 11.

TULSA, OKLA. 

PHIL. F. ATKINSON. Reporter. 

The state of Oklahoma and the city 

of Tulsa were very well represented 

at the inaugural ceremony at Washing- 

ton. D. C., on March 4. The Frisco 

Lines operated a special train to Wash- 

ington via St. Louis, thence the Balti- 

more & Ohio railroad. the same being 

an estra section of the Meteor. leav- 

ing Tulsa on March 1. This train con- 

sisted of five Pullman cars and was 

operated from St. Louis to Washington 

as a special train. In addition to thc 

large number of Tulsans on board, 

there were ninety-six Indians, repre- 

senting sixteen of the tribes who are 

residents of the state of Oklahoma. 

The Indian delegation made the trip 

especially in honor of Vice-president 

Curtis, because of the fact that this 

is the first time in the history of the 

1;nitecl States that such an honor has 

been bestowed on the Indian. The In- 

dians were deeply touched and showed 

their appr~ciation by be in^ present at 

the ceremonial. 

The year 1929 still continues to look 

encouraging so far aR passenger busi- 

ness is concerned at Tulsa. This office 

and the depot combined showed a very 

nice lncrense during the month of 

February. which speaks very well for 

our assistant general agent, Mr. Payne. 

as well as the whole family of Frisco 

employes here. for it is through the 

combined efforts of all that a part of 

this buslness was secured for the 

Prisco Lines. We all have high hopes 

and are determined to do our very beat 

to make the year 1929 better than 

the year just ended. 

The Tulsa (Hockey) Oilers have 

won the chamnionship of the Ameri- 

can Hockey Association and we are 

glad to say that we have had the 

pleasure of handling several of their 

movements. The play-off to, determine 

the winner mill be staged between 

Tulsa, St. Paul and Minneapolis in the 

near future. 

The Frisco Lines were awarded the 

movement of a special train to Fort 

Worth. Texas. for the delegates to the 

convention of Petroleum Geologists 

held in that city March 21 to 23. Thls 

special train consisted of six flrst class 

Pullman cars and accommodated ap- 

proximately one hundred delegates 

from the surroundinr: cities. This 

movement was a very competitive one. 

which illustrates very clearly the high 

esteem in which Frisco service is held 

in this territory.

loss of enthusiasm is the fact that

story tellers) has been transferred to

Soft April zephyrs, youngsters ],laying 

marbles and flying kites, gardenmaking 

and house-cleaning tell us that 

spring has actually arrived and how 

glad we are. But we are more glad 

over the fact that this office has been 

cleaned, painted. varnished, etc.. and 

we certainly thank the management 

and Big Boss for all this redecorating. 

I wonder if the Frisco family knows 

that during the month of February we 

operated 1557 schedule merchandise 

cars out of St. Louis to all ~oints on 

our line and 1521, or 97.7 per cent, 

were on time. From Kansas City we 

operated 808 cars. of which 798. or 

98.7 per cent, were on time. Not so 

bad, eh? Why not use this as a point 

for soliciting less than car load traffic? 

This office is always glad to furnish 

information regarding service, tracers. 

etc. Just try US. 

Mr. and Mrs. William Gray and Mr. 

I?. L. DeGroat, general car service 

agent, in company with Mr. C. J. Stevenson 

and Nr. H. W. Johnson, attended 

the Kansas City-Sunnyland Club's annual 

banquet and dance, which was 

held in Kansas City April 15. and were 

treated royally. It makes other Springfield 

guests want to go. 

Catherine Toon had a pleasant visit 

in Xashville. Tenn.. with Mrs. Merlc 

Bannins rec~xntly. JIrs. Hannins was 

formerly Angcllne Danzero, cle1.k in 

this office. 

Frankie Rhodes and Franccs Gustin 

spent the week-end of March 17 ill 

stockton, where they witnessed a 

peppy basketball game. 

E. A. Dubois journeyed to New Orleans 

March 11-14 to represent this 

office on the Committee No. 2 on Western 

Weighing and Inspectioli Bureau 

matters. 

But we were indeed sorry to learn 

that Gertrude Sprohs and Maude 

JIorehouse. former typists in this department, 

had experienced great sorrow 

though the death of loved ones. 

We extend to them our deepest sympathy. 

JIr. and JIrs. Virgil Hartley drove 

to Joplin ovcr Palm Sunday, where 

Virgil took part in an elaborate mu- 

sical, 'rChrist's Seven 'T~ast Words," 

piven in the Scottish Rite Temple under 

the direction of Mrs. Annes - Parrv 

Williams of thfs clty. 

Our Big Boss, Mr. J. H. Doggrell, 

adds the following paragraphs: 

"A great deal of help can be rendered 

throuah division offices and this 

office If akents and their assistants 

will carefully observe their reports 

hefore sending them in. A recent check 

of divislon reports shows a lack of 

supervision in this direction. mhlch 

only tends to create unnecessary correspondence, 

but in some instances 

criticism on account of the manner rcports 

left agents' offices. 

"\Ve are very grateful to our many 

good friends for various traffic tips 

which have been handed us and same 

have been ha-nded to the proper traffic 

reoresentatives for handlina. 

"Was greatly interested in the recent 

meeting of Springfield's Frisco 

Xen's Club, held at the Grant Avenue 

Baptist Church. and offer our good 

office to all of we can be of anv hela 

in securing traffic or information concerning 

same to any of our employes. 

I wonder if our readers know of the 

splendid freight service that we have 

in order that they might be able to 

discuss same with the public and give 

them flrst-hand information. Why 

not write us or your nearest traffic 

manager fur this information? Let's

Automobile Cars 

T HE steadily increasing production of automobiles is making growing 

demands on the Railroad Companies for larger and more efficient cars 

for transporting the highly finished motor cars of today direct from the 

loading platforms to the widely scattered dealers. 

To meet this demand a great many roads have, in the past few years, 

added thousands of what is known as "Automobile Cars" to their list of 

rolling equipment. These cars come under the general classification of Box 

Cars, but are higher, wider and longer than the ordinary Box Car with six 

foot side door opening. 

The Automobile Cars, in order to facilitate loading of long motor cars, 

are equipped with double side doors which give a clear door opening from 

ten to twelve feet. Even these wide side doors have been found inadequate 

to handle larger vehicles, such as Fire Trucks and Busses. To meet this some 

Automobile Cars are equipped with end doors which, when opened, give a 

clear opening equal to the full width of the car. These large end doors call 

for rigid designs of corner posts which carry the full weight of the steel 

door on hinges. They also call for elaborate locking devices to withstand 

shifting loads against the end doors. 

Other features distinguishing the Automobile Car from the ordinary 

Box Car are various devices installed to facilitate loading. Some cars are 

equipped with a number of loading rings, or staples, fastened to the inside 

of the car near the roof to afford convenient anchors for ropes and tackle; 

others are even equipped with traveling bridge cranes, which can be placed 

at any desired point throughout the full length of the car. 

The following tabulation of Automobile Cars in service during the first 

quarter of the last nine years gives a good idea of the growing demand: 

1920 .............. 8 5,5 54 1925 ................ 132,958 

1921 ........... 89,942 1926 ............... 144,089 

1922 .............. 92,730 1927 ................ 157,029 

1923 ............. 96,686 1928 ................ 167,064 

1924 ................ 113,878 1929 ......... .:. .... 171,325 (Estimated)
