A Statement to the Public by L. w. Baldwin, President of the
MISSOURI PACIFIC N
ASK q Missouri
Pacific Nam"

"a SIX a Missouri Pacific Man" whatever it may be
. that you want to know, especially if it lis something
pertaining to Transportation-and if the individual to
whom the question is addressed doesn't know the answer
or can't get it quickly, he or she, will direct you to some
one in the Missouri Pacific Lines organization that can
and will-gladly-supply the desired information.
This is what has made of the Missouri Pacific Lines a
genuine SERVICE INSTITUTIONS The public has
come to realize this and profit as a result of it-and en-
ployes Of the Missouri Pacific Lines are Justly proud and
happy as a result. And the Missouri Pacific Lines are
Justly proud of the army of men and women who have
made the System a synonym for Service.
When the most disastrous floods in history swept
down the Mississippi Valley and the tributaries Of that
river, as one writer has said, "the rushing roaring waters
destroyed the roadbed in places, but the morale held fast
and never weakened nor wavered." incidentally, largely
as a result of that same splendid morale, all records were
shattered by the speed and completeness with which the
physical property was restored and normal service re-
suned.
The same spirit that prompted Missouri Pacific Lines
men and women to heroic achievements throughout the
floods is the spirit that has actuated the organization and
made the entire System known throughout the country
for aggressiveness, dependability, courtesy and refined
service.
This is the same spirit behind the various special de-
v%elopment departments. 1t is the spirit that has made
the Missouri Pacific a Service Institution with a Soul
1t is with pleasure and pride, therefore, that we call
attention to the desire and willingness Of all the indivi-
duals in the organization to give to the public the utmost
in special attention Of every description.
And that is the reason we can advise everyone, re-
CARELESS of what it is that may be desired or what infor-
nation is sought, to

A Reminiscent Flavor
Sheri-Cola New Soft Drink Patented
by Kyser and Patterson

Within the next three months
it is expected a new soft drink
will make its appearance at the
fountains of all the leading drug
stores inthis country. 1t will
be Sheri-Cola, a concoction in
vented by Docs" Alvis Pat
terson and Vernon Kyser, who
hope TO SET new records on the
soft drink market.
They have been working on
their drink since last August
and have at last arrived at a
satisfactory blend of ingredients.
The main flavor of the drink is
that which the inventors re-
member as sherry wine, and
many who have sampled the
drink at Patterson's drug store
say that so good a drink will be-
come popular throughout the
country in record time.
According to Mr.. Patterson,
the drink contains about the
same amount of caffein as does
Coca-Cola, but the sherry wine
taste makes it a different and
more stimulating drink. Lemon,
orange, and lime JUICE are in it,
as well as a bit of caramel.
The inventors made trip to
Durham yesterday to test the
reaction of their drink in bot
ties, and to ascertain how it will
weather the long periods of
storage to which it might be
subjected. Mr.. Patterson said
that the tests were satisfactory
and that there is no reason why
the drink should not improve in
storage.
Application for a patent on the
new drink has been made, and
in a short time it should appear
on the market.-H. G. r.

Asks Help Of ublic
Governmental Santa Claus Makes
Suggestions for Christmas Mailings

The cooperation Of the public
is asked to aid the postoffice
to handle efficiently and without
undue congestion the increased
volume of mail around Christ
mas. To insure this cooperation
the postoffice department. has
issued number Of suggestions
as to the proper handling and
mailing of parcels and cards.
Attention is called to the proper
methods of wrapping and pack
ing articles, especially these of
a perishable nature. Strong pa
per, heavy cords, and packing
materials to prevent shock or
jarto contents should be used to
protect the contents Of the pack
age. All articles should bear
complete, definite address of
both sender and receiver, and
should be labeled plainly if fra
gile or perishable.
Early mailing Of all Christmas
mail is urged above all. Ample
time for the postoffice en-
ployees to take care of the flood
of mail during the holidays is
the chief means of reducing the
congestion and insuring delivery
in time for Christmas use. All
packages and cards, otheE than
local, should be mailed at least
a week or ten days before Christ
mas, according to the distance
Local mail should be mailed not
later than Deeember 21.
Valuable mail should be in
sured or registered and anyone
desiring prompt delivery of any
matter mailed by them should
affix special delivery stamps to
the parcel in addition to the
regular postage.--R. r.

DObbins Bags Turkey
Backyard Hunter Frees Game, How.
ever, at Request of Warden Durham

Credit for bagging the first
wild turkey of the 1928 season
goes to DR.. ]. T. Dobbins, of the
Chemistry Department, who
caught the turkey several days
ago in his backyard with his
bare hands. Really it was not
captured in season, and was re-
leased by DR.. Dobbins after a
request from Moody Durham,
game warden, nextdoor neigh
Dor, who says that turkeys may
not be caught or killed before
December /.
DR.. Dobbins was bedding his
dog in an outhouse in his back
yard. By chance he looked out
of the door and saw a small tur-
key flying down Cameron ave-
nue. in the direction of his chick
en run, in which his chickens
were at large. To his surprise
the turkey, which he took for
someone's Thanksgiving dish,
flew low and lighted in the gar
den which adijUins the chicken
yard.
Leaving his dog, DR.. Dobbins
slipped out of the house and
crept up cautiously behind the
hen, which rushed through the
tall weeds instead of taking
wing. The garden fence acted
as a barrier to the progress of
the 6 3-4 pound hen, and DR..
Dobbins caught the struggling
fowl by the legs with his bare
hands.
Eyes, SIR" Says DR.. Dob
bins when telling the story, Il
kept sight of that turkey out
Of the corner Of my eye as much
as | possibly could. Of course
the weeds in my garden both
cred me some"
When asked why he knew the
turkey was a wild one, he said
that this hen had a brown streak
across the tip of it's tail. "a,
domesticated turkey has a white
streak instead. This is the diff
ference"
This episode is not the only
one in which DIR. Dobbins has
figured as the bare-hand captor.
Several years ago he sneaked up
behind a female possum with
ten young ones and caught her
by the tail.
DIR. Dobbins has aided several
neighbors from time to time in
catching possums in their hen
houses. He says he has also
caught quite a number on his
own premises.-D. r. Nc.

COMMENTS ON
CAMPUS TREES
Explains That Tail-End of Hur-
ricanes Whipped Trees into
Slanting Positions
BIT OF HISTORY
(Bg John 0. ARisonl

/. Crossing the campus near the
Davie Popular, | found Collier
Cobb standing under one of the
giant oaks which shade the Uni
versity grounds, gazing intently
at the trees. paused and look
ed in the direction of his gaze to
try to discover what it was that
so engaged his attention. |
could see nothing but a furry
of autumn leaves.
''This might well be called the
Campus of Leaning Oaks" he
remarked presently. | found
that he was observing the curl
GUS manner in which nearly all
the campus trees were growing
obliquely, some of them slant
ling at an angle of nearly 80 de-
grees with the earth.
''It is a wonder how some Of
them stand up at ALL" he con-
tinued. Every strong wind
has been taking its toll in trees
felled. One or two were torn
up by the roots in the last severe
windstorm. A giant oak which
grew at the northwest corner of
Alumni building was recently
-wrested from the earth and
stretched out ON the ground. The
concentric rings of another re-
cently-felled oak which stood
just to the north of New East
building showed it to be about
275 years old. But the most
ancient tree Of the Orange
county forests was the colossal
oak which recently came down in
Professor Daggett's yard at the
age of 375. 1t must have been
"a sapling before the day of
Queen Elizabeth"
| asked the geologist what
caused these trees to grow in
such a slanting position. He
surmised that it might be that
they do not have a firm, deeply
rooted grasp upon the soil. Or
it is possible that in the earlier
days when these giant oaks were
mere saplings a severe wind
storm twisted them so that they
have not righted themselves.
''But it is most probable" he
conjectured, that what has
bent these trees into their slant
ing position is the constant,
year-after-year impact of wind
storms. The tail ends of hurri-
canes from the West Indies and
Florida sweep across Chapel
Hill annually. Of course, by
the time they reach this section
some Of their velocity has been
lost, but they are strong enough
to twist the trees out of shape.
One of these storms, about 25
years ago, in passing over
Chapel Hill blew down thirty
eight trees. 1t SO happens that
most of the trees on the campus
lean In the direction of the. pre-
vailing winds, which is south
west"
DIR. Cobb said that the records
of the weather in Chapel Hill
have been kept since 1920. 1t
is strange that the rings in a
cross-section of the giant oaks
on the campus are sort of
barometer of weather conditions
through the years. The larger
rings are closely correlated with
the wet seasons and the small
ones with the dry seasons. The
weather records show that the
mean annual temperature for
Chapel Hill is approximately
the same as that Of Florence,
Italy.

Chapel Hill Chatt

An interesting example of the
entire separation of faculty and
students occurred the early part
of this week when the girls at
Spencer Hall were writing the
invitations for the reception they
are giving tonight for the faculty
and the wives of the faculty.
The question was raised as to
which ones of the faculty were
married and no one seemed to
know just exactly which ones
of the invitations should be ad-
dressed to "Mr. and Mrs" and
which to a lone "Mr." The girls
were in a quandary until some
one suggested that a roll call be
made at dinner of "those who
date 'em" and that the names of
all the younger members of the
faculty who call occasionally at
the Shack be put on the invita-
tions unattached.-M. B.
The great increase in the num-
ber of squirrel nests in the cam
pus trees during the past two
years seems to me to be indica-
tive of a scarcity of hollow trees
hereabouts as we'll as pointing to
a large increase in Chapel Hills
squirrel population. | have
noticed fully three times as many
squirrel nests this year as | have
seen in any of my three years at
the University.
| have become keenly inter-
ested in the playfully industri-
Gus lives of the little animals,
and there are several of them

at them, and all my natural in
stincts urge me to go to the de-
fense of the tiny creatures. |
usually lack the moral stamina,
however.
Last Saturday | saw a group
of young hellions assaulting a
squirrels nest in a big elm just
in front of Old West building.
The two furred proprietors
were running frenziedly up and
down the tree barking excitedly
at the vandals, evidently at
tempting to distract their at
tention from the nest.
The students continued to
throw at the nest, and finally
knocked part of it out of the
tree. This seemed to be too
much for the larger of the two
squirrels. He darted down the
trunk shot across the grass di-
rectly toward the boys and, with
teeth barred, gave every evidence
of intention to leap upon the
nearest destroyer of his home
and slash his throat with his
tiny, razor-like tusks. The stu
dents fell back, Disconnected.
When a few feet away David
squirrel hesitated, contemplated
his probable fate if he engaged
Goliath in teeth-to-fist combat,
turned tail, and whisked behind
the tree, whence he peered timid-
ly while the students resumed
their onset. In a short time
every yestage of the nest was
gone AS soon as the stones
ceased to shoot in their direction,
the two squirrels sped up to the
branch to which their home had
been attached. They paved the
twigs upon which their house
had been erected and for a few
moments were singularly quiet.
Then they turned toward the
watching students, launched a

markably similar to human
