FRISCO NOW HAS LARGEST
MILEAGE IN MISSOURI

Figures just issued disclose that
the total mileage of the Frisco lines
is now 5,256 miles, placing the Frisco
with the leading railroads of the
world in miles operated as well as in
other respects.
In this connection it is especially
interesting to note that the Frisco
now operates a greater mileage with
in the state of Missouri, approximate
ly 1,70O miles, than does any other
railway system. These figures will
be Illuminating to many who had
never considered the magnitude of
the system.
The figures as to the total mileage
are being given wide publicity on the
new office and business calendar is
sued by the Frisco for the ensuing
year. The calendars are in them
selves an innovation since the roads
passed once more into private control.

HOUSE VOTES .sPRo'
ENFORCEMENT BILL
Treasury Appropriation Measure Car
ries Total of 169 Millions.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The house
late today passed the first annual
supply measure drafted under the
budget systematic treasury appro-
priation bill, carrying approximately
S169, 100000 of which S9,000,000 IS
for enforcement of prohibition during
the fiscal year beginning next July /.
The measure was sent to the senate
without record vote practically no
opposition developing to its various
provisions. Only one amendment was
adopted while several sections were
eliminated on points Of order.
Representative Hill, republican,
Maryland, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to cut the amount provided for
prohibition enforcement TO $250,000
but his amendment was quickly snow
ed under.
At the outset the Maryland mem
Der proposed that the amount for en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment be slashed to $250,000 with the
added provision that if any addition
al funds were needed, states, which
he said had acted concurrently with
the federal government in bringing
on prohibition, should contribute as
they saw fit. The proposal, however,
was knocked out on point of order
ana Mr.. Hill then called for vote on,
the straight question of reducing the
appropriation.
Little discussion was provoked by
prohibition and once the Hill amend
ment was disposed of the house pro-
seeded to consideration of other fea-
lures of the bill.
On a point of order, Representative
Walsh, republican, Massachusetts,
provision for a $4,000 salary for an
under-secretary of the treasury was
eliminated.
The effect of the budget system,
members said, was evident in the few
changes proposed. A year ago the
various appropriation bills were the
target of dozens of amendments, and
points of order.

SPRINGFIELD DEBATERS
LOSE 10 MoNETT
Judges Vote to for Monett Spring
field Team Out of Champions
ship Race.
By Burt johnson.

The Monett debating team defeated
the Springfield debating team by the
decision of two to one. Monett's
representatives, Noveta Brown and
Louis Bounous, upheld the affirm
ative; and Thompson and Dyer sup
ported the negative. This victory
makes it possible for Monett to meet
another team on the same question aa
the one debated at Springfield. The
question is "Resolved that the princi-
pie of the closed shop should prevail
in American industry.
The Springfield team based their
argument on six issues. They were;
first, the closed shop is detrimental
to society; second, the closed shop
methods are not just; third, the clos
ed shop forces itself into politics by
economic pressure; fourth the closed
shop Is unfair to all concerned; fifth,
the closed shop is impractical; sixth.
the closed shop is un-American. The
negative also proposed that instead
of the closed shop that the prefen-
tial shop be adopted. The Springfield
team had good delivery but one OF
the men spoke rather sentimentally
which worked against them.
Our debaters however read good
sound argument based on broad issues
Both had good delivery and fine
stage presence. They did especially
good on the rebuttal, meeting most OF
the negative arguments by destructive
arguments. The next held will see
Monett's team ready to give good
account of themselves.
Mr.. Thomas, Superintendent of the
Springfield schools, acted as chair
man of the debaters. Mr.. Cox, Of
Drury; Mr. Thomas and Miss Woods
of Teachers College were the judges.

PHYSICIANS SAY LIQUOR
DOES NOT SAVE LIFE

Chicago, Jan. 5.-A majority of
physicians in 10 states representing
all sections of the country, replying
to an alcoholic QUESTIONABLE sent out
by the Journal of the American Med
ical association, asserted that they did
not regard beer, whiskey and wine as
necessary therapeutic agents in the
practice of medicine.
About four-fifths of these physi-
clans declared there were no instance
in their practice where suffering or
death had resulted from enforcement
of the prohibition law.
In the 19 states 6,797 physicians re-
piled they did not consider whiskey a
necessary therapeutic agent in the
practice of medicine and 6,510 assert
ed they had found it of value.
Beer as therapeutic agent was
supported by 2,66S physicians and OPP
posed by 1882. On the question of
wine 1884 doctors declared they be-
lieved it had medical value, while
8,298 asserted a contrary belief. More
than 1000 doctors replied they could
cite instances in their own practice
where unnecessary suffering or death
had resulted from enforcement of the
prohibition laws, and 1912 physi-
clans reported they had experienced
no such instances.
Out of a total of 1920 replies,
1906 were in favor of restrictions in
the prescribing of whiskey, beer and
wine.
Results of the questionable sent to
physicians in Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska
and Rhode Island have been an
nounced by the Journal.
Results from II more states-Ari-
zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware
Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Montana,
North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania
will be announced in the January 7
issue.

Frisco Lines in Ozarks Heavy

Approximately S5,175,000 worth of
poultry and dairy products were
shipped from the Ozark region dur
ing the months of June, July, August,
September and October Of last year,

for the Frisco railroad. This amount
is more than twice as great as the
amount shipped from points on the
Frisco system outside of the Ozarks.
The figures compiled for the five
months only includes car lot ship
ments and it is estimated that the
products shipped by express or less
than carload lots by freight would
probably amount to so per cent of the
carload shipments.
The heaviest shipment of butter
during the period covered by the re-
port was during the month of August
when there were 63 cars shipped, of
which Sc cars were from the Ozarks.
Of the 265 cars of butter shipped dur
ing the five months .223 were from the
Ozark region and were valued at
about $1,746,000.
June of last year proved to be one
of the heaviest months for the ship
ment of eggs, there being 148 cars
shipped during the month, of which
IS cars were from this region. The
value of these shipments was estimat-
ed at about S27O,O00. The Ozarks
furnished 1928 of the 500 cars shipped
during the month.
The egg shipments for the five
months were valued at approximately
$1,036,000.
The most remarkable showing made
by the Ozarks during the five months
was in the shipment of live and dress
ed poultry. There were 4S3 cars OF
live poultry shipped, of which 367
cars were from this vicinity of the
live poultry shipped is about $1,522,-
COO. The heaviest shipment was in
August of last year when 121 cars
were shipped of which 80 cars were
from the Ozarks.
According to the reports issued
there were but 9 cars of dressed poul-
try shipped from outside the Ozarks.
There were $50 carloads of dressed
poultry shipped to eastern markets of
which 141 cars were shipped from
the Ozark region for a total value of
1871 ,000.-Springfield Leader.

TWO KILLED BY
PASSENGER TRAIN
Frisco Train Hits Auto at Sarcoxie.
Alva Wyatt and Paul Wild
Die; 2 Injured.

Sarcoxie, Mo-, Jan. 5.-Two dead
and two seriously injured was the
toll of grade crossing crash here
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon when
Frisco passenger train No. 316 hit
motor car in which four were riding.
The dead:
Alva Wyatt, IA, son of Arthur
Wyatt, living west of Sarcoxie.
Paul Wild, 13, son of Gilbert Wild,
prominent nurseryman.
The injured:
Walter Wyatt, 13, driver of the car
and brother of Alva Wyatt.
Miss Ella Lambeth, Is, daughter Of
o. H. Lambeth, farmer.
Alva Wyatt was instantly killed.
The Wild boy died at $50 o'clock
in the Carthage hospital, to which
place he was rushed following the
accident.
Walter Wyatt and Miss Lambeth
are at their homes suffering from
serious cuts and bruises and prob
ably more serious injuries. 1t was
not believed tonight, however, that
their injuries will prove fatal.
The motor car, a five-passenger
Ford, was demolished when the pas
senger train struck it, sent it through
a cattle guard and then over a fif-
teen foot en1bankment on the left
hand side of the road.
The accident occurred at the ap-
proach to a steep hill leading west
from the south side of the square, and
a block north of the Frisco station.
Walter, driver of the car, appar-
emily did not see the approaching
train, for the automobile was fairly
onto the track when the passenger
bore down on it and struck it solidly.
The two boys killed were in the back
seat. Miss Lambeth was in the front
seat with Walter.
How Walter and the Lambeth girl
escaped death is miraculous, for the
motor car was almost completely de-
molished Alva WYATT and the Wild
Boy geceived the main force of the
impact, however.
Paul sustained a crushed skull;
both arms were broken and one leg
was fractured. An operation was
performed on him in the Carthage
hospital in an effort to remove the
skull pressure, but it was without
avail.
The top of the motor car was car
ried on the front of the train to the
station, block away, where the train
came to a stop. Parts of wreckage
were strewn for distance of several
feet
