START BY AUG. rs
Then You Won't Have to Take
Mr.. H. C. L. on Vacation.
Round Trip Tickets at Old
Rates win Be Henored.

Vacationists who would vacation"
without taking Old Man H. c. along as
a travelling companion. must purchase
their round trip tickets on or before
August rs, the date on which the 20
per cent increase goes into effect and
then started on their journey not later
than August &c. This was the an
nouncement made by J. NJ. Connen,
general, passenger agent of the Santa
Fe. and Passenger Agent Stuart of the
Rock Island, following receipt of hun
dredS of calls from persons planning
their vacations. Pullman and sleeping
car rates fall under the same ruling.
I'VE wish it made clear that tickets
cannot be bought before the increase
and then used after the increase goes
into effect" said Cornell, without the
purchaser paying the increase and sur
charge. Ticket spectators might try
rate, and the public might bite and
then be surprised at having to pay
the increase"
The 20 per cent increase will apply
to all one-way and round trip fares,
including summer excursion and all
year tourists. Baggage rates for ex-
cess rates and for storage will auto
matically increase 20 per cent, as such
rates are based on passenger fares.
