INCREASED DEMURRAGE PENALITIES. 
The New England Demurrage 
Commission, A. G. Thompson, Com- 
missioner, with office at 845 Old 
South Building, Boston, announces a 
material change in the car demurrage 
rates which our readers who load or 
unload freight cars will be interested 
in. The increased rates have been 
approved by the Interstate Commerce 
Commission, to be applied until May 
Ist, I917, as one means of increasing 
the number of cars available for ship- 
ping, so much in demand by all ship- 
pers. The railroads of the whole 
country are now issuing tariffs, effec- 
tive about December 11th, providing 
for the increased rates. 
Heretofore one dollar per car per 
day after forty-eight hours of free 
time has been the general rate. The 
tariffs now being issued provide for 
the same free time of forty-eight 
hours, and the same allowance for 
weather interferences as formerly, but 
the new rate is one dollar per day for 
the first day after the free time, two 
collars for the second day, three dol- 
lars for the third day, and five dollars 
per day thereafter. 
The so-called average rule, under 
which some of our readers may be 
working, is also changed to corres- 
pond to the increased rates. 
“Please, kind lady,” said the way- 
farer, “I ain’t had ‘a bite to eat in 
twenty-four hours.”

ELISHA PRIDE, P. M 
“You are just the man I’m looking 
for,” replied the lady of the house. 
“My husband gathered a mess of 
mushrooms this morning, and I want 
to make sure they are not toadstools. 
Just wait a moment and I’ll bring you 
a dish of them.—New York World. 
Wife—That Mrs. Tucker next door 
must be an awful gossip. 
Hub—What’s the trouble now? 
Wife—Oh, nothing in particular; 
but I never can tell her anything but 
what she’s heard it before.
