Snyder, c a r t e r a n d O l s o n to'
New P o s i t i o n s
H E retirement of R. C. Mills,
general agent a t Oklahoma City,
on March 1, brought about several changes in the personnel of
Frisccr officials. H. G. Snyder, former freight agent a t Springfield, Mo.,
succeeded Mr. Mills; El. E. Carter, assistant superintendent a t Neodesha,
succeeded Mr. Snyder a t Springfield,
and E. P. Olson, assistant trainnast e r a t Fort Smith, was made assiata n t superintendent a t Neodesha, Kan.
Mr. Snyder began his service with
Frisco Lines, in 1903,a t Enid, Okla., a s
office and call boy in t h e dispatcher's
office. He then held the positions of
yard clerk, baggageman and various
positlons in the freight office and passenger station, such as rate and bill
clerk, foreman, cashfer, ticket agent,
and 'baggageman. H e enlisted in the
regular army October, 1917, was as~ i g n e dto Camp Doniphan, Okla.. and
assisted in handling railroad transportation, which included the movement of the 35th Division to Camp
Mills lor overseas duty, and Mr. Snyder was transferred t o the 35th Division with Headquarters Company, and
had charge of railroad transportation
for that division overseas. H e returned In May. 1919, and was assigned the positfon of agent a t Frederick, Okla., and later as agent a t Sapulpa, Tulsa and St. Lduis. H e also

t h e railways. Their plight is of importance to everyone. H e stated
that both the public and the railroads
needed relief; t h a t t h e insurance policies of the men and women of the
country a r e dependent on t h e welfare of the life insurance companies
and the railways. Judge Dillard said
h e would not recommend t h e abolishment of the I. C. C., but that he did
feel t h a t t h e Conmission has now
arrived a t a point where it endeavors
to enforce too many rules t h a t should
be left to t h e management of t h e
railways themselves.
Among the twelve points recommended by Judge Dillard's connmittee
were:
The accumulation of a reserve by the railways, s o as to tide
them.over times such as we ar e havIng now. The reserve could not be
obtslned a t this time, but can be accumulated i n prosperity tinlt39, and
i t was recommended that t h ose reserves be pot, not in new epuipment,
bnt in good municipal or government
bonds. A second recommer~ d a t i o n ,
and one made by the transpcWatton
committee in 1920, and und e r t h e
Lransportation act, and adopted by
Lines and would be pleased to have
their business. H e felt that the interest thws displayed would aid in
future solicitation efforts.
Mr. Moran was especially pleased
with t h e fine turn-out, and stressed
the fact that whether the membership was large o r small, the members
should concentrate on forming a live,
aggressive organination that would
"hit the baIl". He told them that they
would find plenty of competition in
their solicitation efforts and that they
would have to redouble their efforts
to prevent further loss of business
and consequent curtailment of the
railway's activities. H e also stressed
the importance of cultivating the
citizens of Ft. Scott and letting them
in on the meetings of the members,
so that they might know of the various problems which confront the
railroads today. The meetings, he
felt, should have t h e social side
stressed and t h e employes should
foster friendly relations between employes and t h e public, keeping the
business sessions to a minimum, and
not dragging out the meetings to
such lengths that they would become
boresome.
1Mr. Knox, the newly elected president, expressed his appreciation of
the honor bestowed upon him, but
said that without the hearty cooperation of all members, h e could not
make the club a success, but that h e
felt s u r e of this support. H e planned
to meet with officers of the club and
map out a program for future meetings.
St. Louis Girls' Club
The February luncheon of the St.
U u l s Oirls' Club was given for J.
R. Koontz, vice-president in charge
of traffic, honoring him upon t h e
completion of ten years of valuable
service to Frisco Lines, and in appreciation of his friendship and help
extended t o the Oirls' Club. Over
100 members and guests were in attendance.
After a few brief remarks, Marlon
Witte, president, turned the meetlng
over to S. S. Butler, who, in his able
and humorous manner, acted RS mast e r of ceremonies. Special guests ~t
t h e luncheon included J. N. Cornatzar, F.' G. Jonah and Dr. C. E. Burford.
Loretto Connor presented a poem
which s h e composed, expressing the
sentiments of the Girls' Club towards
Mr. Koontz. and, in response. Mr.
Koontz gave a most interesting and
sincere talk in which h e praised the
work the club was doing. Mary Agnes Crane delighted the members with
several vocal selections, and Mr.
Luechtenfeld, from the Wurlitzer
School of Music, presented several
accordion numbers.
The meeting was considered one of
t h e best ever held by members of
t h h club, and the support of memb e r . ~of this club In keeping the at-
AGENTS ON THE JOB
The following depictm a case
which might have happened at
any station on Frlsco Lines. I t
brings out the fact clearly that
any agent on Frisco Lines can
anticipate the requirements of
local concerns and when they
need commodltles can get i n
touch with the proper parties
and beat competitlng forces to
the order. .
During the month of March,
the marketing department at
St. Louis was advised by Paul
C. Potter, dairy agent, that the
Farmers' Exchange at Bourbon,
Mo., was in need of a car of
alfalfa hay. C. 6. Michelson,
farm m a r k e t l ~ gagent, requested price of alfalfa from Agent
Wm. C. Richter at Menfro, Mo..
and Information was received
from a farmer a t Menfro, and
transmitted to the agent at
Bourbon the same day. The Information as to price, etc., war
satisfactory and the Farmers'
Exchange placed an opder with
the Menfro, Mo., concern for the
car.
The car of hay arrived on
March 9th. was very satlsfactory and another car was lmmediately ordered. Advice was
also received that the local mill
was In the market for five ears
of wheat.
Through the prompt handllng
on the part of two agents, the
requirement6 of the Farmers'
exchange were fulfilled.
The
deal furnished a market for surplus hay, assisted the local
farmer, and gave the Frlseo full
revenue for the haul, as I t was
local.
tendance up to par and mot having
missed a meeting since the inception
of the club, are matters of favorable
comment.
The questions of securing additional
business during the year, and of reporting trucks operating through
Thayer without permit, u-ere discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.
In.. and President Skaggs annonnced
that the March meeting date would
be announced wIthin a short tln~e.
Newburg,
Mo.
There were twenty members and
guests present a t the meeting of the
Frisco Employes' Club of Newburg,
Mo., held on the night of March 6.
Cecil Scott. president, was in charge,
and M. M. Sisson was the honor
guest.
A fine spirit of cooperation was
brought to light, a s between the ernployes, the Frisco Railroad and the
merchants of Newburg. There h a s
been no bank in Newburg for more
than a year, and now none in the
county. Frisco employes of Newbnrg
had pledged their support of the
Newbnrg merchants and asked that
they use Frisco service in shipping and receiving their products.
With t h e present chaotic condition in
the banking world, the enrployes were
a t a loss as to how to reinlburse
these merchants for food supplies and
cornmoditfes purchased, whereupon
Mr. Lewis, agent a t Newburg. called
L. 0, Williams, treasurer in St. Louis,
and was advised that checks for t h e
employes a t Newburg would be
cashed. The employes were then en.
abled to pay the merchants in cash
and start a circlllation of currency.
It relieved the situation in Sewburg
to a very great extent, and, in appreclatlon of the courtesy, the merchants
rallied to the cause and on the Monday
following the above announcelnent, the
Frisco received 129 pieces of freight
into Newburg on the local, containing
goods for every merchant in town,
with birt one exception. 111 many instances the merchants Informed their
wholesale houses to ship their goods
vla Frisco end not by truck.
On the other hand, the employes
a r e deeply appreciative of the business received and feel that a most
frlendtp feeling has been developed,
and in a crisis showed a splendid
spirt of cooperation and fine feeling,
whiclt will continue and grow.

Edgeworth Smoking Tobacco
The Big Favorite
Because of Its Flavor
We have had "check-ups" made among
railroad men in roundhouses, terminals, shops, etc., many times and
often find that from one-half to threequarters of t h e pipe smokers use
Edgeworth. We are proud of this record of Edgeworth among railroad men
and assure them that the tluality and
flavor of Edgeworth never changes.
Any man who smokes a pipe has
probably tried many brands of pipe
tobacco. He is always searching for the
one brand he thinks will be the best
of all.
That's why we urge men to give
Edgeworth a trial. It has a flavor unlike any other, For thousands of pipe
smokers it is the end of the search for
smoking satisfaction.
"Cheek-up among railroad men shows
strong preference for Edgeworlh"
And remember: it is a big mistake
to spoil your smoking happiness just
t o save a few cents. Get the tobacco
you Iike. Edgeworth is 15# for the
pocket p,mkage. Other sizm up to the
pound humidor tin. Just say "Edgeworth" to your dealer. Made and guaranteed by Larus & Bro. Co., Tobacconists since 1877, Richmond, Ya.
