POSSIBILITY OF EASTER TRAGEDY
The daylight saving hill is expected to go into effect
Sunday morning, March 151. That also happens to be
Easter. There is little possibility that anyone will forget
to push up the clock, for it would be an awful tragedy to

NEWSBOY TO RAILWAY HEAD
From newsboy to railway presi­
dent. Such Is the achievement o f W il­
liam P. Kenney, who has Just become
president o f the Great Northern rail­
way. Louts W. H ill, chairman o f the
board o f directors, will continue as
active as heretofore In the management
o f the railway system his father built.
Selling newspapers was the start­
ing point o f Kenney’s career, back in
the eighties. H e progressed step by
step, later becoming a Western Union
messenger boy. The clicking o f the
telegraph instrument was a lure to
him. H e mastered the key and became
an operator.
That opened the way fo r Ken­
ney’s railway career. He turned his
attention to trafile und before he was
forty became a recognized trafile au­
thority. In 1912 Kenney was made
vice president and traffic manager of
the Great Northern. He then came
Into close executive association with
James J. H ill and L. W. Hill, who had a high regard fo r the young man’s
keen knowledge o f traffic affairs. From their youth up Louis W. H ill and
W illiam Kenney have been closely associated In railroad affairs, first as
clerks and later In management.
