Holiday travellers this year will
have to pay the regular railroad rates
in Iowa and all 2-cent territory. That
! is the information just given out by
the railroads for the benefit of those
who are planning Christmas or New
Years trip The railroad fare will be
! just the same as 1t Is every day in the
year, cents mile Holiday rates
| were abandoned when the 2-cent fare
became effective. Regular rates pre-
vailed last Christmas and also on
| Thanksgiving. The railroad men say
the 2-cent fare is equivalent to the re-
duced rates formerly given under the
| Scent fare. Missouri probably will be
| the only state in this section which
gets reduced holiday rate. It prob
ably will be fare and a third for the
| round trip. AS the regular rate there
| is cents mile this is equivalent to
| the 2-cent rate in Iowa.
