It is expected that the FriSco Lines will handle from 3,000 to 3,500 carloads of the Ozark famous fruit in 1927, and this means much preliminary work. The meeting, held at the Ozark Fruit Growers' building, was opened by W. L. English, superrisor of agri- culture and refrigeration, who ex- plained its purpose and guaranteed the shippers the usual A-1 fiisco service to markets. Ed. Salzer, presldent of the Com- mercial Club of Monett, welcomed the officials and pledged the assistance of that club. J. E. Hutchison, vice president in charge of operation, and J. N. Cornatzar, passenger traffic manager, each spoke at leng'th, and stressed the fact that Frisco Lines were making every effort to supply equipment and to handle the cars with the least possible delay. They also discussed ways and means of se- curing quicker handling of this perish- able commodity. W. D.

THE PUZZLE ANSWERS

Leslie Myers, 3016 Vincent Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, Ieads the list this month, with twenty-three correct answers. The Twilight Lady believes Vincent must have gone to the zoo and questioned the keeper ~f the animals, to get so many correct answers. And the other twenty-nine lettera showed that Frisco kiddies are very -observing, and have made quite a study of dltferent animals which they often see. Below are the seventeen answers, which were the correct ones, and for May the Twilight Lady will count the answers just as she did for April -that is, when she said there were seventeen Incorrect things in the pic- ture, she meant if you found others, they too would be counted: Girafh do not haw beards.
