r INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Str1lxee.
high-salaried officers, every
thing, overtime and bonded in
debtedness are worries the Ferdi-
nand Railroad Company does not
have.
But the company, declared to
be the smallest independent rail-
road company in the United
States, has other worries such as:
Suppose the locomotive should
break down, or suppose the en-
gineer should get sick"
The company, which operates
a. steam railroad from Ferdinand
Indianapolis, to Huntingburg.
Ind, a distance Of 6.4S miles, has
submitted a report to the Indiana
public service commission show
p ing a profitable year. It has one
locomotive, one combination pas
senger and freight car, one en-
gineer, one conductor, one fire
man and one brakeman. Its operat-
ing revenue for 1922 was $780,
638.89; it's gross income $6,826.71,
and it's net income, $4,115.71.
For economical operation the
little railroad can compete with
any Of the great systems Of the
country, judging from its report.
Such evidences of economy as
this appear on the report: Salaries
for general officers, including one
gang foreman, one station agent
and three section hands, $500;
conductors salary, $906.50; en-
gineer's salary, $9O6.5O; brake
mans salary, $546.50, and fire
mans salary, $602.6s. No over
time was paid during the year.
The railroad owns its right Of
way, except in Huntingburg,
where 1t runs for nine-tenths Of
a mile on track Of the Southern
railroad, paying $125 a month for
track rental and station facilities.
Freight originating on the road
Is way-billed to Huntington and
rebilled to the Southern railroad.
The road did thriving passenger
business in 1922, the average
number Of passengers per trip
being fifty-eight, while the seat
ing capacity of the car is only
fifty-four.
The reports of the Ferdinand
railroad have not always shown
a balance on the profit side. It
was organized in 1903, under the
name of the Ferdinand Railway
Company, by a number of Ferdi.
nand citizens who wished to give
the town transportation facilities.
In 1911 the bondholders bought
the road at receivers sale and
reorganized as the Ferdinand
Railroad Company. J. A. Sender
man is president, and r. J. Beck.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN
. NOwLEDGE always desires
n increase.

II NOWLEDGE always desires
X increase.
It is the talent Of human ma
ture to run from one extreme to
another.
Love one human being purely
and warmly, and you will love all.
Chance fights ever on the side
of the prudent.
You may feel for others. but
you must think for yourself.
Most people can only rever-
ence an ideal by turning 1t into
an idol.
Some people hold the key to
the situation, and then are too
lazy to turn it.
Troubles come to all men, but
those who are looking for them
will have the largest share.
Courage Is a virtue which the
young cannot spare-to lose it Is
to grow old before ones time.
Honesty is not a spectacular
virtue, but it is the one most
highly appreciated by all good
and loyal men.
The book of life is illustrated
in black and white-dreams are
the color supplement.
No matter how orderly she Is
by nature, 1t is a mistake for a
woman to be always putting her
husband in his place.
The fact that they are boring
other people does not prevent
some men from amusing them
selves.
The love and care Of fathers
and mothers, set in that most
precious surrounding, a home,
are the beginnings of true edu-
cation.
There Is no monopoly of vice
or virtue in any class. or monop-
oily of patriotism in any section
Of the people.

A FEW nights ago in a
u rather tough saloon in a
"a little town on the Central
Railroad big, strapping des-
perado, who had an unenviable
reputation as a bad man gen.
orally, walked up to the bar
and in a loud voice ordered
everybody in the saloon to walk
up and take a drink. The
crowd moved quickly to the bar
at his invitation, as the man
was half drunk and was I'M
doubtedly dangerous when in
that condition.
One man alone failed to ac-
cept the invitation. He was a
rather small man, neatly dress
ed, who sat calmly in his chair,
gazing idly at the crowd. A
student OF physiognomy would
have been attracted by the ex-
preston of his face, which was
one of cool determination and
force of will. His jaw was
square and firm, and his eye
gray and steady, with that
peculiar gray CLINT in the iris
that presages more danger than
any other kind of optic.
The bully looked around and
saw that someone had declined
his invitation.
