A NFNDNG HELP.

Many women, especially mothers
with large families, are bothered on
darning day TO find proper mates for
each stocking. Try sewing a hook TO
the top of one stocking and an eye on
the other. Then teach the children to
fasten them together each time the are
taken Off On wash day the stockings
can be thrown over the line, saving
that tedious time of pinning and on
darning day they are always mated and
properly. This method is quite a time
saver.

tenn and Incorporated.

ion was prepared by Chairman Busby

porated under the laws of Missouri,
with an aggregate capital of
s3S3,642,2s2
Both roads have peen in the hands
of receivers since August 19, 1915.
The reorganization will mean that they
Will be taken out of the receivership.
The opinion declares the reorganza-
ton is expected to decrease the total

vide a security through new first and
refunding mortgages sufficient to meet
all expenditure requirements.
In addition, 1t says, the fixed yearly
charges will be reduced from $12,951,-

come well within the earnings, even
under adverse conditions"
