The Hardwick Game.
Spaulding played in fine style in the
Hardwick game, the result of the game
showing what constant plugging away
will do even in the face of possible de-
feat. Neither team had at any time in
the game enough of lead to be safe
and the score at the end of the first half
stood as it had stood many times during
the half, at a tie, Spaulding IL, Hard

The second half was a hard fight from
start to finish. Hardwick was somewhat
handicapped by the loss of duffy" Lew
IS, their lively little forward, but his
successor proved himself worthy of a
place on the team. Mann came back
with burst of speed and a series of ac- {
curate shots which netted the Barre team
l6 of the % points which they secured in
this period. The Hardwick team made
desperate attempt but could not stop the
"come back" spirit which seemed to have ,
taken possession of the Spaulding aggre- .

RULES IN
EFFECT
Railroads Have Emergency
Measure to Relieve
Car Shortage
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Dec. 15.-Drastic regu-
lations adopted by the railroads went
into effect today, with the approval
of the interstate commerce commission
as emergency measures to relieve the
shortage of freight cars which for
months has been a brake on the coun-
try's commerce and affected the high
cost of living.
The remedy is the railroads own,
proposed by the car service commits
sion of the American Railway associa-
ton and formally approved by the fed
eral commission. One regulation pro-
vides that a consignee may have the
usual two days to unload a car and
that thereafter demurrage shall be
charged at the rate Of 81 for the first
day, 81 for the second. SO for the third
and SIS for the fourth and each sue
ceeding day. Heretofore the charge
has been uniformly 81 day.

New Demurrage Charge

"The action Of the railroads in

uation in Fargo" said C. o. Follett,
vice. president Of the Fargo Mercan-
tile Co., today. Local shippers are
pretty prompt in unloading their cars.
1T will, however, have considerable
effect on the situation in the east. I
understand that jobbers, contractors
and others have been in the habit of
holding, cars as long as ninety days,
paying dollar day demurrage until
they found it convenient to unload.
Under this new plan, providing pen
atty for each day over two days, they
