opportunity. Continued expansion
of railroad facilities is contingent
upon a continuance of conditions
under which investors may reason-
ably hope for a fair return from
railroad investment* Such conditions
may be maintained only through the co-
jration and support of the public which
railroads serve.
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Lines
earnestly solicit this co-operation and
support. Helpful suggestions, looking
toward continued improvement in Katy
service and Katy standing with the
public, are always welcomed.

The Highway.
Life is a highway, wondrous, fair;
And we are but pilgrims journeying
there.
And it’s here the rain and there the
rain,
.But ever the sun comes out again;
And its over the hill and under the
hill,
But ever the way leads onward still;
And it 8 here a stone and there a
stone,
And it’s many a mile one must go
alone;
And it’s here a foe and there a
friend.
And many the turn, and, at last, the
end.
Life is a highway, wondrous, fair;
And we are but pilgrims journeying
there. —F. L. Pinet, ,
in American Highways.
