Santa Fe's May Earnings Bes
of the Year.
Largest Increase of Any Month
in Fiscal Period.
TAXES LARGER THAN EVER
Decrease in Total Operating
Income Shown.
Other Items of General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

With the exception of February,
which had an extra day to its credit
this year, May gross earnings OF the
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe showed
the largest comparative increase OF
any month of the current fiscal per-
iod. Mays gross increase of $4SO,o5S
was further enhanced by decrease
which with the exception Of April was
the greatest monthly comparative de-
crease this year.
Mays increase in operating income
CT over 100000 was the largest OF the
year. All in all, May was the most
prosperous month the Santa Fe has
had.
Since February the Santa F'e has
decreased operating expenses SILL
526, compared with the same period
months ended May 81 expenses were
almost 100000 larger than last year,
which does not mean inability to con-
troll expenditure in the face OF de-
creasing business, but rather the usual
desire to keep the property up to all
possible requirements. All of this
increase is accounted for by compar-
atively large expenditures for upkeep
in the early months of the fiscal year.
The winter may have been very
hard one but the Santa FEES spring
expenditures have not indicated that
it left any blotches upon the prop
erty.
At the end of May, gross earnings
were only $140.046 behind last year,
and if June shows a comparative in
crease of only about third as large
as Mays gross for the year will be as
large as last year, which was a rec
ord.
Operating income at the end of IL
months was $1,252,367 behind last
year. Of this decrease $713, 495 is
due to larger taxes. And, accordin~ to
officials. there is no relief in sight
But taxation is a matter of legislation
and not of railroading, and the Santa
Fe management cannot be held &C
countabIe for the laws under which
the road must be operated.

When the train came in from Chandler yesterday morning, Dr. J. F. Drane motOred to the depot with a party of friends who were going away After the friends had boarded the train, the doctor got in his ma chine and giving f glance to see that the way appeared clear, started slowly to back his auto prior to returning to town. In the meantime, unknown to the doctor, Mrs. Walton Patterson, who had business at the depot, had stopped her baby buggy, containing a siX-months' old child, in the re1r of the auto. The right hind wheel of the machine crashed into the buggy, flattening it out and resting almost upon top of the baby's head, Clarence Pomeroy, who saw the accident, called to the doctor, who reversed and pulled forward. He hurried to the child and quickly brought it up town where it's injuries were looked after. At first it was thought the child was hopelessly in iured, but it rallied and later was able to take nourishment. The phy- sicians say that whether it will live or die cannot be determined for probably twenty-four hours. The lit

Go to any drug store and get an empty two ounce bottle and a one-ounce bottle of kuluX Compound. Pour the entire bot tie of Kulux into the two-Ounce bottle, add one-quarter ounce of witch hazel and fill with water. Prepare this pre- scriptiOn at your own home, then you know you are getting it right Apply night and morning.
 It makes the skin soft and beautiful, no matter how rough and ungainy your hands and arms are One application will astoniSh you.
