I conditions.
Grace, now 50. started life on a
j Texas farm, but left high school to
i join the railroad as a messenger at
! 14. After five years he became a
freight and passenger brakeman, and
i later a yard clerk.
Then his memory first attracted at-
tentton. In checking cars it was said
he could pass a train of 30 or 40
cars, glance at the number and own
er of each car and later write them
accurately in consecutive order.
In 1006 Grace became a yard
master, and in 1014 was advanced to
a trainmaster's Job. A terminal train
master's Job later was followed by
the su peri n tendency of the Wichita
Falls and Northwestern line, a part of
the Katy system.
I'even years ago Grace was named
superintendent of the McAlester di
vision of the Katy. and In 1027 he
became general superintendent of the
entire .system.
All along the Katy lines Grace is
known as the man who knows more
workers by their names and faces ;
than does any other employee of- the

THRIFTY WOMEN SEE
VALUE OF CANNING
FRUIT THIS SUMMER
Never Before Has Sugar Been
so Low in Price and Fruit
is Plentiful
A plance at the overflowing fruit
markets and then nt the low price
of sujrar proves conclusively that
is the year to put up fruit. Of
course the more that is canned the
bigger the financial pain, but even
a few jars of preserves and glasses
of jelly stored away will help cut
food bills next winter.
Tickles and relishes made of cu
cumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and
watermelon rind are also economical
to put up. Their spicy tart-sweet
goodness is most welcome when
meats and fish are served.
Canned fruit has a place in the
balanced diet. Most of them are
rich in vitamins. For children,
canned fruit is an ideal breakfast
dish or a fitting dessert.
Beyond a doubt, the housewife
who puts up plfcity of fruit this
summer wilt find that its consump
tion next winter will help keep her
family well and save her money,
