It is indeed with a'fireat deal of
section that we rfW**
point ^th pn ^ tion of con-
Moran, with a pop ,g head_
siderably less tha Com-
ETa"we aTaiso proud Of
the fact that our ComP^ny ^
mander with practice his en
sTaff, are experienced soldier ,
fought on foreign battlefields, an
know the meaning of a s°ld"*
creed. Another thing for which we
are truly thankful, is the fact that
our own Company C ranks third in
the 10th battalion, attesting to the
fact that the wide awake Moran
citizens, who applied for the char-
ter for the organization, were on
the job.
Again we point to the ranks of
Company C, who march side by
side, training and improving them-
selves physically, morally, spirit-
ually. And why do I say morally
and spiritually? Well, for this
reason: There has never been a
red-blooded American citizen who
donned the uniform of his country
and for this opportunity to do his
bit, for his land of the free and
home of the brave. Try it. Hon-
estly, sincerely and frankly, you'll
feel that you have been made a bet-
ter husband, a more deserving fath-
er, or a better boy. Try it and see
for yourself. Right now we have a
few vacancies for red-blooded, sin-
cere HE MEN. See Captain Mc-
Cargo, and let's get going.

A new and finer Katy now serves the Southwest!
Within the past four years nearly a hundred
million dollars have been put back into Katy
properties to afford the most efficient rail trans-
portation the Southwest has ever enjoyed.
In spite of serious shortages of men and
materials, every inch of main-line road bed
has been reballasted.... Nearly 350 miles
of new steel have been laid... 4,500,000
creosoted cross ties installed... 900 loco-
motives given heavy repairs or rebuilt...
Revenue freight cars in bad order reduced
to 3/10 of 1 percent of ownership—a record "low'
in the Company's history.... All passenger equip-
ment has been repaired and renovated.... Stations,
service buildings and bridges strengthened, re-
paired and painted, and many other improve-
ment projects completed. And the Katy's
record of good housekeeping is outstanding.
All this without a borrowed penny—and at
the same time the mortgage debt was being
reduced approximately $40,000,000.
The Katy is building to keep pace with the
new and greater Southwest.
