coin. Neb., are in town. They will
locate on their ranch near the Ber-

built. Mr.. White retires from the

The rnle adopted by the Master
Car Builders Association prohib-
iting the placing of advertise
ments on box cars has been effec-
tive in greatly-improving the ap-
pearance OF the cars. Formerly it
was the practice of shippers of any
commodity to affix to car in
which their goods We're being
hauled, a large sign telling the ma
ture of their wares. Each success
sive shipment following this policy
the cars were soon bedecked so as
to present the appearance of a
moving bill board. Shippers thus
secured an ad for small cost and
the car was ruined as far as APP
pearances went. The Master Car
Builders. at their last session took
the matter up and adopted a scale
providing for "A fine for every sign
found on a car. One dollar for
pasted signs and fifty cents for
tackled signs was imposed, the de-
livering line at a junction point
where "a car was handled paying
the fine. Now the railroads have a
sign taken off car as quickly as
it is discovered, and shippers who
tack or paste their ad on box car
have their material wasted.
