MAN FATALLY BURNED
IN GASOLINE BLAST
Amarillo, Tex., Feb. 23.—Leslie

Thursday of burns received at his
home here a week ago, when gasoline
with which he was cleaning clothes,
became ignited.

EASTLAND SEEKS TOAD’S RE-
TURN TO “PEP UP” BUSINESS
Dallas, Tex., Feb. 25.—Eastland’s
horned frog, which is alleged to have
done a “King Tut” for 31 years, was
in danger of becoming a fugitive from
justice tonight.
Will R. Wood ,son of C. E. Wood,
who claims to have placed the frog
in the corner stone of the old Eastland
county courthouse on July 29, 1897,
was in Dallas Saturday exhibiting
the famous frog, and said he was ex-
pecting court action hourly, in a move
to force him to return the frog to
Eastland.
Wood said he was present when the
reptile was lifted from its tomb and,
being the legal heir of the depositor,
Judge Pritchard, one of the officials
supervising the ceremonies, gave him
the frog.
“I put him in the window at the
store, and when people began coming
out there to see the frog I decided
to bring it to Dallas.’ *
It was not until today that any
controversy had arisen as to the legal
ownership of the “sleeping” frog and
Wood says that the demand that he
return to Eastland with it was being
fostered by a few jealous people
there.
One report was that the chamber
of commerce had brought pressure
to bear on the county officials to de-
mand the return of the horned reptile,
because there had been a slackening
of business since its departure.
The contention is made that since
the county had undisputed possession
of the frog for 31 years—and not
even Wood denies that fact, it natur-
ally becomes the rightful owner of
the noted frog by the statute of limi-
tation.

*
Improvement Program
for 1928
- .
Railways serving a growing country are never finished.
They must add yearly to the number of cars and locomotives
in order to care for increasing traffic. They must build exten*>
sions and provide second and third tracks. They must provide
larger terminal yards and longer and more sidings. They must
provide heavier bridges and larger and more commodious
stations, roundhouses and shops.
This expansion in facilities requires additional cash invest-
ment in the railroads of this country, amounting to over half a
billion dollars annually.
The Santa Fe proposes to spend 45 million dollars on its
program for enlargement of such facilities during 192.8.
Orders have already been placed for 3,850 new freight cars,
75 all-steel passenger train cars, and 771 miles of new steel rail,
of which 490 miles will be no lbs. to the yard and the balance
90 lbs. When this steel is laid the Santa Fe will have 2., 182.
miles of no lb. rail all laid since January 1, 192.5. Orders have
been placed for steel for bridges, ties have been purchased, and
work on more second track and other improvements is in
progress.
The Santa Fe puts this large additional investment of new
money into its property to increase its capacity, to render service,
to promote safety, and to take care of the growing needs of the
country it serves.

With a feeling of avoiding dirt
Man makes daily changes of his shirt;
Spends an hour each morning in the tub;
Sends seven pairs of socks for weekly rub.
Yet seldom cleans a suit of clothes
Until its stench assails his nose.
