The SANTA FE
HAS some PLANS
Wants TO Get Into st. Louis-Tenta-
tive Scheme to Build Joint Road
From CarrolIton to Mexico.

The metropolitan papers first of
the week contained the following
dispatch
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-Plans of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad to enter St. Louis from the
west, tentatively announced recent
ly, may soon reach definite stage.
Santa Fe officials admit they are
anxious to get into st. Louis to COM
pete for the westbound passenger
and freight traffic, but it is contend
ed that plans for extending the line
into st. Louis as yet are vague and
that negotiations looking to the ex-
tension up to this time have been
conducted informally.
The only plan thus far considered
calls for joint action with the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
The Burlington has line from st.
Louis west to Mexico, Mo. All its
trains are handled from Mexico into
Kansas City via the Chicago & Alton
tracks south of the Missouri River.
This arrangement is said to be
unsatisfactory and the Santa Fe is
discussing plans which would call for
the construction of a track between
Carrollton, Mo-, and Mexico, Mo-, the
new track to be used jointly by the
Santa Fe and the Burlington.
All conferences relative to the
proposed Santa Fe entry into the st.
Louis field have been conducted be-
tween w. d. Storey, Santa Fe vice
president in charge of operation, and
H. E. Byram, the operating head of
the Burlington. Neither will admit that
the discussions have reached deffi-
mite stage. Both admit, however,
that the subject has been discussed.
The Santa Fe runs northeast from
Kansas City to Carrollton and thence
direct to Chicago. From Carrollton to
Mexico, the western terminus of the
Burlington-owned track, is only 95
lulleS, 81 Ildl tue pIOJSCJ uOSS HOJ
call for the construction of any great
lenght of track.
Because of its western facilities
the Santa Fe would make a formida-
BILE competitor in the st. Louis field,
where it could offer shippers eXcep-
tional facilities in movilg shipments
west and southwest. AS the situa-
tion now stands, the Santa Fe ac-
cepts at Kansas City for the West
haul a goodly percentage of west
bound freight originating in St.Louis.
Under a decision of the United
States Supreme Court any railroad
entering St. Louis has the right to
use the facilities of the Terminal
Railroad Association of st. Louis, on
a Iental basis. Therefore it would
be unnecessary for the Santa Fe to
. build a depot or establish yards in
St. Louis.

WILD AUTO.

Mrs. Lizzie Nelson of Rush Hill
drove her Overland car to Mexico
Friday morning and as she turned
north on Jefferson street, in attempt
ing to doge other vehicles, she lost
control of her machine and it smash

Shop. The crash was heard for
blocks around. Nobody hurt; ma
chine injured only slightly, but Low

have never charged them with such
a scheme. l believe it is done in a
better spirit than that. I believe the
leading men in the different cities
finance and support something of
this kind every fall because they re-
alize that the world must be and will
be amused. But if they do hold
these festivities for the purpose
named, they surely are making a
mistake, by bringing in this bunch
of showmen and vendors. They are
only offering to those who are fool
ish enough to patronize those people
a chance to spend their money with
an out-of-town concern.
Almost everything they offer for
sale or barter is offered in direct
competition with some enterprise in
Mexico. All their refreshments and
confections are easily duplicated in
the restaurants and cafes of Mexico; !;
all their trinkets and notions may be
found in the Mexico shops ana stores
and even their shows are in competi-
ton with the Mexico Play-houses,
tho l will venture the opinion that
the entertainment to be found within
their tents is on lower plane than
is offered at the regular play-houses
of Mexico.
Just want to ask the City Dads of
Mexico where is the consistency OF
irving to put down gambling in Mex
leo and putting the city to the ex-
pense OF arresting and prosecuting
those found shooting craps and play
ing poker and then allowing a bunch
of outsiders to set up on the streets
all kinds of fortune wheels and
games of chance to catch all the
spare cOius that the people can be
separated from?
Do not censure the farmers for
spending money with mail order
houses OF known repute and estab-
lished integrity for staple goods that
we need in our homes and in the con-
duct of our business and then ex-
pect us to patronize a travelling
troupe like this and spend money
with them for something we do not
need.
II you must have the tent shows
and their attendant features mex
year. please have them either befor,
or after the corn show.
Yours truly.

TONIMIE TONIKINS'
WOODCRAFT STORY.
A Dream-AlmOst Plays "HOOkey"
From SchOOl-Bro. Bull Frog Hit
in the Eye, Has Tommie Arrested.
BY l.. Roy Ferris.

Now, honest to goodness, Tommie
wasn't a bad boy. In fact, he was
just so kind and thoughtful, as
rule, that everybody loved him. But
the mothers of all the little boys
would say: johnnie, try and be
nice, like Mrs. Tomkins' little Tom
mie;" or, Willie, | wish you were
more like Tommie Tomkins."
So you see when q fellow like
Tommie foTgets and does something
wrong it is just as bad as if you
were to do something you would be
ashamed for little sister to hear.
Well, l hate to tell you about it,
but if you will promise not to let it
cause you to disobey mother when
she SAYS, FREDDY, bring me a bas-
ket of chips" you will jump to the
task quickly, just as tho you were
playing foot ball,I will tell you One
day Tommie started for school He had
reached the little grove of trees just
this side of the school house 1t may
have been the bairds that sang so
sweetly, for Robin Red Breast had
shed the worn-out feathers in his
wings and tail and was telling the
Brown Thrush in song about the
nice family of four Mrs. Robin and
he had reared. How he had fooled
Pussy Cat by building a nest right
before her eyes, so she could see.
But when she was taking a nap he
had built one in another tree, where
Pussy's sharp ewes could not find.
Pussy had watched the wrong nest
for the darlings. How he would
soon take his long fight down South,
trip that no one but birds and
rich folks can afford to take each
year, down where the orange blooms
look like the ones Tommie's sister
wore when she was married.
So you see it wasn't altogether
| Tommie's fault when he turned to
l5the ieft instead of the right, crossed
the log across the creek. and found
himself at the old Swimming Hole
where the giant willow hangs over
the creek and the roots form a dandy
good seat to sit upon while fellow
pulls off his shoes and stockings
Tommie leaned against the willow
tree, and would no doubt have gone
to sleep had not Brother Bull Frog

stuck his head up thru the green
scum of the creek and winked at
Tommie. 1t is bad enough to have
Brother Yellow Hammer pound on
the tree right over a fellows head,
and pretending he is hunting worms,
and every now and then give a
screech that sounds like he said,
Shame, shame" But when a frog
actually winks at fellow, it was
more than Tommie could stand, and
grabbed rock he SHE'D it at Bro.
Frog, and il looked like the rock had
found its mark.

Rabbit as they came to the creek
for a drink.

Red Squirrel, "Tommie, what
are you doing out of school?"

gan Tommie, you see l wasn't feel
ing well and, and"-he began to
hunt for an excuse, like a boy hunts
for his knife in the grass. "You

am tired of school"
THAT is no excuse, Tommie,. In
the first place, do you suppose you
grow more tired than your teacher
who has to deal with a score or more
all day long, and after school while
you are rolling hoops and playing
ball his work continues, and while
you are asleep in your little bed and
DR.. Owl is catching mice in the yard
under your window, your teacher is
sitting up working out many ways
to teach you things that will help
You to make living when you have
to take care of mother in case your
dad should los his health"
Just then Blue Jay came scream
ing along, talking so excitedly, as
they always do.
why, look there" says Jay, "look,
Tommie Tomkins is running away
from school"
And he hit me in the eye," added
Bull Frog"
Let's try him." said Terrapin,
before jury of six and see if he
is guilty"
DR.. Owl was appointed Judge
Brothers Rabbit Terrapin, Muskrat,
Coon, Squirrel and Sister Possum
were chosen to act as jurors. Bull
Frog objected at first to having Sis
ter Possum serve. He said he
thought wOman's work was at home
in her hollow tree. But when Sister
Possum replied she guessed her
house was in as good order as any
fellows mud-bankr who never had a
home and who was hatched out by
the sun, they let her serve. Judge
Owl decided the old sycamore tree
was a good place to hold the court.
AS Tommie climbed to the wide,
Nat stump of the once giant syca-
more whose 1877 rings showed it
had stood that many years, he no.
tieed, while the jury was being seat
ed, that three of the rings were not
as wide as the others, which goes
to show that in the three years OF
drouth the old tree had not grown
as much as in the years of plentiful
rain.
Now, Thomas Tompkins. tell the
jury why you hit Brother Frog-in
the eye with rock" began the
Judge, "and when you are thru we
