ed secretary pro tenn. About 25O del
egates were present when the conven-
tlon opened. The regular order of
business was dispensed with. and Bis

where been received with kind and

OF the churches in an exceedingly de-
pressed and feeble condition. "This

state. This is the eighteenth time

TOURING ON HENRY FORDS
RAILROAD, Nov. 4,-'Lizzje's Big
Sister" is the nickname railroad
workers-the men out along the line
have given it. Officially, in the
records of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and in the railroad
guides and wherever it must be spok-
en- Of formally, il is the Detroit, To
Icdo & Ironton Railroad Co. In all
that the eye can see along the road,
from one end Of it to the other, it
answers the description of what is
commonly known in this country as
'jcrkwater railroad.' But
It's Henry Ford's railroad. And
that makes it something else.
Eenry Ford's railroad is the mys-
terry of the transportation world,
You hear more stories about it than
a child hears about Santa Claus. But
there have been no stories told about
how his line is serving the shippers
who use it, and TO learn what kind
of service Henry Ford is giving the
public | made a trip over his road
and questioned scores of men who
transact business with his company.
And everywhere the shippers were
cheering Henry Ford and the De
troit, Toledo and Ironton. Can you
imagine it-shippers cheering a rail
read and is owners? ! found, too,
that Henry Ford had started bon
fires under the big trunk lines that
cross his little "jcrkWater railroad ~

speed unknown to .hem before, to
the consequent advantage of the

Plan Made for Federal Aid for

State VIII Assist in Restoring
~s Service on Road.

The Kansas City Northwestern rail-
road may receive aid thru apportion-
ment of funds by the interstate COM
merce commission. Plans to secure
federal aid for the defunct road were
discussed Thursday afternoon when
200 patrons of the line attended a
conference in representative hall.
W. M. Pennington of McLouth was
elected as president of an association
to direct organization and to provide
a definite plan for saving the road to
patrons in northern and eastern Kan
sas Governor Allen, member of the
public utilities commission, and a
number of bankers, merchants and
farmers spoke. There was unanimous
voice for restoring the service between
Kansas City and Virginia, Neb., but
the problem was as to the proper
method of procedure.
The Kansas City Northwestern is
now in the hands of a receiver and
under control of the federal court.
Train service was suspended by the
road in December. 1919. A number of
the towns along the route rely on the
road almost exclusively for transpor-
tation facilities. Governor Allen in a
short talk pledged the powers of the
state in saving the road to it's patrons.
