Lee has recently 1 developed startling improvements in work garment fabrics which have resulted in extra strength and longer wearing qualities. And now, by eliminating buttons, Lee has made another great improvement.
For added comfort, for extra long wear, for speed, and for convenience, wear Lee Whizit Union-Alls, Over- alls or Play Suits. Make your own test of these remarkable new gar- ments that have already won the favor of thousands and thousands from coast to coast. There is a Lee dealer in practically every city, town

E. M. Hatfield, assistant foreman of the Frisco Lines' car department shops at Sherman, Tex.. who won one of the gold fountain pens offer- ed monthly to the traffic-solicits- tion winner on each division of Frisco Lines, made the following unique contribution to the &laga- ,-ine following receipt of the prize: "I'm just an ornery car knocker, belonging to the Greater Traffic Club. I decided my head to bother about some business for Frisco to grub. So, off I go to town, feeling tired and dirty too. Don't have time to go clean up so I'm feelin' sorter blue. But-I asked my first customer for some business for Frisco, you bet. 'Well,' he said, 'I'll guess I'll give you the next car I get.' My spirits flew upward, I go and try another. My efforts are rewarded. Someone else helps this Frisco brother. So I try this each evening 'ti1 I get a nice list. 'Bout that time the contest is over and I sit down and wish, that I could be the lucky fellow to get the gold fountain pen. So I go on about my duties, just car knocRing like sin, when one day comes a letter from the president-I mean Kurn-saying I won the fountain pen.

MAKES RECORD SWIM "Dad" and "Mother" Clark Celebrated Lee Barrett, 22, Frisco Electriciau Swims 18 Miles in Lake Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary Sept. 1 7 Taneycomo By IYAI-DEAIV G. BLAKELY Kansas City, Mo., Couple Wed in 1867-Both Loyal Frisco Veterans
R. and Mrs. John Clark of 1610 West 41st Street, Kansas City, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary on September 17 at their home. Mr. Clark, a retired Frisco conductor, is 85 years of age and "Mother Clarlr", as she is familiarly known, is 83. Mr. Clark came from hngland in 1854, and met the present Mrs. Clark, then Mary Elizabeth Mansfield in Latrobe, Pa., and they were married in 1867. The Clark family is well known, both in railroad circles and in the public eye, due to "Mother" Clark's extensive work in the prisons of the country and in Frisco affairs. "Our happy married life has been based on the old fashioned doctrine of 'giving the other fellow a hand', and in helping others, we have found our happiness," writes " Mother " Clark. Idleness has never had a place in either of their lives, and even now that Mr. Clark's active railroad ser- vice is over, he finds much to do around their little home. He cares for the large flower garden which is LEE BARRETT the delight of "Mother" Clark, altho (7 trkirly tl~c~uter at start of 18 111i1c he says he really likes to work with siaivr.) his pen of chickens better than with the flowers.
