OUon, living about
Alphonso Olson, living about six
miles north of Clifton near the Bosque
Switch, proved himself a very worthy
and active youug man last Monday
morning. He probably prevented a
great collision between a freight train
and Number & passenger train.
Mr. Olson was informed by tele*
phone from the Clifton depot that
Pleaae understand, no talking machine and no other
phonograph prom in public teat that it ia indistinguish-
able from the bring artist.
Thai statement is based on • foundation offsets. Three
thousand representative music critics have heard the
Edison comparison tests and have written that they
courld not detect any difference between the living
artist and the New Edison's RE-CREATION of their
art. What proof-could be more convincing in helping
you to select your Christmas phonograph.

Clifton, Texas
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 10—Whether
the law prohibiting pool halls in the
state of Texas is constitutional or un-
constitutional will be decided in a de-
cision rendered Thursday morning in
the United States District Court.
The decision of the court however,
will be appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, either way it goes.
The pool hall law was passed by the
legislature more than a year ago to
become effective May 1, 1919. An in-
junction was granted restraining the
attorney general from enforcing the
law, pending a test of its constitution-
ality.
Several weeks ago & further re-
straining order was asked before
three United States federal judges in
which arguments were advanced on
both sides.
While the decision Thursday will be
on the latest application it will never-
theless show the disposition of the
court op the constitutionality of the
law. The losing side will appeal at
any rate.

PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE
IS REDUCED; AVOID ALL
UNNECESSARY TRAVELING
Shortage of coal necessitates a ma-
terial reduction of train serviee. A
large number of passenger trait® will
be discontinued after Sunday, Decem-
ber 7th, 1919 and schedules of some
remaining trains changed on all the
Railroads in the Southwestern Region,
which is the territory south of St.
Louis, Kansas City and Omaht, and
Southwest and West of the Mississ-
ippi River between St. Louis and New
Orleans, including the States of Mis-
souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisana, Texas and some .lines in
Illinois, Colorado and Nebraska, and
the Frisco between Memphis and Bir-
mingham. Detailed information will
be given through the newspapers and
to ticket agents. In this emergency
the public is earnestly requested to
avoid unnecessary travel within or
thru the Southwest Region. It is very
important that those who must travel
and especially those who have made
advance purchase of tickets or sleep-
ing car sgace for any day in Decem-
ber, shall promptly make inquiry of
local ticket agents and ascertain from
them whether or not trains or cars
they contemplate using have been dis-
continued or their time changed. The
limited train service available will
have to carry only essential travel.
freight train was standing on
Boeque Switch, and that it was m
•ary to speak to the conductor of the
train. f r-X
Getting on his horse, young Olson
loped full speed to the gravel dump of
the Santa Fe railroad, hitched his
horse in a thicket and started in the
direction of the train. When he had
gone but a short distance, he heard
thp train making ready to “pull out”.
Running with all his might, he reach-
ed the train just in the nick of time.
Approaching the caboose, he shout-
ed for the conductor, who soon came
out and asSed what he wanted. “You
are wanted at the telephone,” was the
reply. With the greatest haste they
rushed to the nearsuit dwelling, being
that of Mr. Melvin Wallace, only to
And no one at home. But in spite of
the fact that he house was deserted
"Bud and the conductor hastened in
and helped themselves, which was ab-
solutely Accessary in this case.
Mr. Coffman, the conductor, wss
told that Number 5 had fallen down
on time and for him to remain until
the passenger had arrived.
Speaking of the matter, Mr. Olson
says, “From the time I spoke to the
depot at Clifton till I reached the
train I wjfs in a rush. I dashed into
the Bosque river full speed on horse-
back. This was not so bad but, to
Rfhke a straight cut 1 rushed through
the lower part of Brandies Lake,
which almost swam my horse. This
gave me a good soaking. (
“When I reached the Bosque gravel
dump, I heard the release of the brake-
beams of the train on the switch. I
knew from this that I must hurry still
more in order to deliver my message.
This I did successfully, however, of
which I am very proud, not on my
own behalf but of the many lives
which were on Number 5, and the
Railway Co.’s.
The Santa Fe Railway Co. absolute-
ly believe that it was only through the
young man’s trying and heroic efforts
that a terrible collision was prevented
between the trains.
Mr. Olson is credited with saving
many human lives, besides hundreds
of dollars worth of property belong-
ing to the railroad company.

REPORT SHOW8 STATE ROAD
LOSES ABOUT $50,000 A YEAR
Austin, Texgs, Dec. 5.—Chairman
Allison Mayfield of the Railroad Com-
mission uses the State Railroad aa a
good Illustration of the Government
operation of railroads, having been
reminded of the facts by an inspec-
tion of its books by W. E. Fitzgerald,
auditor of the commission, who haa
just returned from Palestine.
Mr. Fitzgerald advises that the road
loses about $50,000 annually and has
lost some $300,000 to date.
“Of course,” said Chairman May-
field, “the roqd is poorly situated and
private operation might not make it
pay, nevertheless, it has lost much
money and can well be used as an
example of Government operation. The
last no doubt contributes to its general
losses.”

Several farmers comhiended The
Reporters article last week on road
dragging. Several townsmen also
spoke favorably about it. The Re-
porter began several years ago by
pleading for a system of road drag-
ging that would indeed be a "system”
and not a hit and miss affair. And
with the character of the roads which
it will be necessary to build with the
bond money subsequent road dragging
is going to be a prime necessity.
Again we say, contracts ought to be
made with farmers to do the dragging.
Road drags ought to be plentiful and
handy and should be used after each
rain. It would be troublesome, of
course, to put such a system into
practice, but once installed its benefits
would be apparent It will make good
roads better and bad roads passable.

The Brady Sentinel overcame the
handicap caused by a breakdown of
the electrical power plant of that city"
last week by borrowing a Ford truck,
backing it into the office, jacking up
the rear wheel and belting it to the
newspaper press. It’s mighty hard to
make a country newspaper man miss
an issue.—Rockdale Reporter.
