was the real thing, steers being
cooked whole over beds of red hot
Goals by Jim Bolton, who is famous
over Texas as a barbecue expert.
The association held its meeting in
a great canyon near Amarillo=one of
the few cool spots in Texas this hot
summer. Cold, pure water gushing
from the rocks tumbled down the tree
shaded gorge, and huge boulders af-
forded seats for the cattlemen and
their guests. The setting for the pic
mic was superb in this canyon-na-
lures wonder of the Lone Star state.
Speeches were made, songs were sung
and the feast was enjoyed. The dele
gates at the meeting represented per-
haps 5000 Texas cattlemen. Messrs.
Kouns and Koontz said it was the most
interesting affair of the kind they ever
attended. There were several invited
guests, but the Topeka men hold the
record for the longest distance traV-
eled to reach the scene of the barbe-
cue.

Fuel and Train HauIs New Scheme to
Save Money

Springfield. Mo. June 2S-"What are
you doing to economize?" is 4 ques-
ton being put to trainmen by division
superintendent of the Frisco. The en-
ployees are being urged to help save
money for the railroad company and
their attention is being called to two
specific points-train haul ana fuel. If
a locomotive hauls % tons less than it's
capacity on run, the company figures
that it has lost money, as it requires
about as much fuel to haul a train of
greater or less tonnage. TTainmen are
being urged to ascertain just how much
business an engine can pull without
encountering delays or overtaxing ga
pacitv.
The economy movement is to extend
to other departments, Frisco officials
say, and each man is to be asked to
try and save the company 3 cents each
day. The Frisco has % 900 employees,
and with each man saving 5 cents for
the railroad each day, the road would
show an increased earning Of ABOUT
1874 500 month. Special clerks are to
be employed to assist the men in the
various departments in the money saw
