Is a technical adviser. Colonel

served the need Of roof markers for

Postmaster Erwin was notified by
Postmaster General Harry s. New

Hart . local aviator, to make a
survey Of available roofs. Mr.. Hart
reported such roofs as the New

tank Of the New Britain Gas COM

EnOch Arden Back
for Christmas Day

Whitesburg, KY, Dec. 24.-tAP)-
There is going to be q real Christ
mas celebration for four residents OF
this little village this year after IS
years Of waiting and hoping.
It's because Jim Stamper came
home. home to the hills that bore
him. For 65 long years two brothers
and two sisters had wondered and
worried about Jim Stamper. Each
year they gathered around the
Christmas tree to make merry, but
each year the absence OF Brother
Jim" cast q gloom over the group.
This year it's going to be different.
Sixty-five years ago Jim said good
bye to brothers and sisters and
trudged away, q boy Of II, out to
make his way In the world. The
other day Jim came back, grizzled
and gray and possessed OF the fortune
he went to seek, to spend his holi-
days with his family.
Jim's story OF his life sounds like
a page from Horatio Alger. Practi-
cally penniless, and q lad Of II, he
tramped 200 miles on foot to Lexing-
ton, KY, to reach railroad. From
there he worked his way gradually
towards the west coast, Of which he
had heard marvellous tales. Time
went on and Jim bought q fruit farm
with his savings The fruit farm was
successful and Jim bought more land.
Today he Is said to own one Of the
largest fruit farms in California.

the Kansas City Southern company.
Reviewing the facts and the OBJ
jections arising to the merger both
from communities in the territory
and from other railroads, it was ex-
planned that the directors of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas had resolved
to withdraw the application and ter
inmate the proceedings.
At the outset Of the Loree South
western merger, it was proposed that
the Kansas City Southern acquire
control of the other two roads by
stock purchases and exchanges, but
the commission held that the capital
ization Of the Kansas City Southern
company presented too small a
base" for financing the enterprise
and in addition received the COM
plants Of communities that railroad
competition would be unduly re-
strained by the consolidation. Later
Mr.. Loree and his attorneys switched
the tentative plan around so as TO
make the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
the Central corporation and renewed
the application.
