SHORT TIME LIMIT
Central Passenger Association De
parts From Old Method In Mat
ter Of Holiday Rates.

The railroads in the Central Pas
senger associations have put a new
kink in the restriction for holiday
excursion rates, practically limiting
the effect of that rate to short local
hauls. The old plan was to sell tick,
cts on December "a and % making
the return limit good until January
2 or 3. This year the tickets are
sold on December "a and % with the
return limit fixed for Dec. %. For
the New Year holidays the tickets
are offered on December 81 and Jan
nary !, the return limit being Jan.
T. The short return limit will bar
long Journeys.
The Central Passenger association
territory Is east of the Mississippi
river and west of Pittsburg. The
short return limit makes il hardly
worth while for the traveller to 90
on to the limits o fthe territory. The
holiday rates within the state under
this rule will be one and one-half
fare on the twocent basis. and when
the traveller goes beyond the limit
OF Illinois it will be one and one
half fare on the three cent a mile
basis.
