RAILROAD TO BUY HOMES
Kansas City Southern Will Purchase
Residences OF Employees at Mena.

Kansas City. Dec. 15.-In order to ac-
complish a desired change of division
points the Kansas City Southern Rail
way company, with headquarters in
Kansas City, has agreed to buy the
homes owned by it's employees in the
town that is be abandoned, or, If de-
sired will move the house to the town
where the employe is to be transferred
This decision was reached yesterday
following a ten days conference be-
tween representatives of the employees
and the management Of the railroad
company.
The Kansas City Southern Railway
company decided to move its division
point from Mena, Ark, because the fed
eral law requires the company to
shorten the train runs To do this it was
proposed to abandon Mena as a division
point and make new divisions at De-
Queen and Heavener.
"a mutually satisfactory agreement
has been reached" said J. A. Edison,
president of the company, last night.
by it's terms the company agrees to
purchase from each employe desiring to
sell, his residence. paying therefor the
actual amount expended in the pur-
chase or acquisition of the property
This arrangement is made for the rea-
son that when the Encouragement of the
divisions takes place the majority of
the employees now living at Mena will
doubtless desire to remove to the new
division points, Heavener, Okla, and
DeOueen Ark.

SANTA is READY.
He Will Be in Topeka on
Time.
Unusual Precautions Taken to
Prevent Accidents.
NO ASBESTOS COATS.
Will Not Follow Rule of Other
Cities.
An Abundance of New and Novel
Toys.

Topeka Santa Clauses are a favored
lot. and should feel grateful for the
liberties granted him by a kindly dis
posed people who have never had a
serious Christmas accident. Here Santa
Claus does about as he blame pleases
in selecting his wearing apparel But
in most cities he must wear the uni
form provided by law, just as if he were
a policeman or a street car conductor.
While the firemen take every precau
ton to prevent fires on Christmas. eve
and business men worry because of the
: danger of a blaze for weeks before the
HAPPY day, the greatest risk to life and
property comes at the very elimination
of the season, the time when there
should be the least danger. This dan
ger results from the Christmas tree.
In most Topeka churches this year
the regulation Is foot Christmas tree
will be used and will be covered with
candles or electric lights, nice presents
and sparkling stuff which burns pref
tily, and Santa Claus, clad in most any
old thing he wants to wear will be in
evidence. It's pretty hard, sometimes
to find a suitable Santa Claus and they
are allowed, generally to boss and bluff
people because it is feared if they are
not thew will refuse to play.
In the last few years nearly everyone
else has been subjected to more or less
reform, but Santa Claus has gone on
in his own evil way with absolutely no
regard for the changing times and con-
