Large Box Car Order For Altoona Shops Altoona, Pa., Dec. 9. —The Pennsyl vania Railroad yesterday placed an or der for 1,030 all-steel box cars with its shops here, the cars to be turned out at the rate of about 400 a month, be ginning February or March. The pur pose of the company, officials here de clared last night, originally was to have these cars built during the early part of the pregent year, but the busi ness depression and acccompanying necessity for the strictest kind of -re trenchment were responsible for the postponement of the order. The cars are to be built after the X 25 design, familiarly known as the "battleship" model. The steel for their construction has been ordered and is expected to arrive here shortly.

Nead, attorney-at-law, at the meeting to-morrow night of the Dauphin County Historical Society, 9 houth Front street WEDNESDAY EVENING, CHRISTMAS CHEER IN HIGHER FREIGHT RATES Officials in Local Department Hop ing For a Favorable Deci sion on Saturday Christmas cheer is expected for local freight department officials of the Pennsylvania and the Reading rail roads by Saturday. On this day, ac cording to reports which reached Har risburg to-day, the Interstate Com merce Commission will hand down its decision on Increased freight rates. While in some places officials are of the opinion that there is not likely to be any positive increase granted, it is the belief in Harrisburg that fne de cision will be favorable. If a 5 per cent, increase Is granted, it Is said, there will be considerable activity on the part of the railroad companies to start the year with more men on their payrolls. It is reported that two of the com missioners agree with President Wil son that the railroads are entitled to relief. Indications are that the recent passenger rate may not be permitted in its entirety, and for this reason higher freight rates would meet the requirements and passenger rates would in all probability remain.as at present.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH VALUABLE Dili ABOUT FERTILIZER State Performs an Important Serv ice in Analyses of Materials For Farmers' Use tt As a rosuit of analyses made by 1 fit State chemists at tlle direction of Secretary of Agri- c u It u r o N. B. ) Critchlield, the I 'Tfi farmers nn( l land ■ owners of the State w '" ljc provided ' TTiwith information as to the value of fertilizers sold in the general market for soil conservation. This information, which is being is sued in the form of a bulletin for farmers, will give not only the con stituents of the fertilizers and state whether they are true to the label of contents, but will show the kind of nitrogenous material used in the var ious Itrands. Many fertilizers contain nitrogen in forms which make it very slow to dissolve, while others con tain nitrogen in a form that soon dis integrates and goes into the soli. Of 2,094 samples of fertilizers turned in by the authorized State agents 751 were analyzed, the infor mation being gathered from those which had not been previously an alyzed. The quantities of rapid dis solving material were determined and set forth. This has been done at the request of the State Board of Agri culture with the object of obtaining for the buyers the advantages sought by recent amendments to the State fertilizer law. It is believed, says Secretary Critchlield, that the infor mation will do much to safeguard fer tilizer buyers against the use, with ex orbitant charges therefor, of such relatively low grade materials as peat, garbage-tankage, hair and leather. More Licenses.—Hunters' licenses are still being Issued in various coun ties of the State, according to officials of the State Game Commission, and it will be the end of the year before the number put ovit can be deter mined with any degree of accuracy.

JACKSON PRAISES CITY'S RAILWAYS [Continued From First Page] tors in the sucess of rf Btreet railway system-—patrons, stockholders, em ployes and government. Co-operation and confidence between these elements is essential in bringing about improve ments and satisfactory results. Larger returns are brought to stockholders and greater accommodations to the patrons where there is co-operation and confidence." Dr. Jackson explained that the con fidence of employes is obtained by proper treatment; not by placing the burden on any one person, but by making the working conditions such as will win the good will and con fidence of the men employed. Greater efforts in the interest of the employers is the result. Continuing he said: "The pmployes, on the other hand, should give a return for the humane efforts on the part of the employes, be watchful and give close attention to duties. "Patrons should be educated to real conditions. They should at all tinier receive correct information. Patrons should not. however, expect too much from street railway companies. The trouble is that many patrons have an idea that a railway system is run for their particular benefit." Praises Harrl.sburg System Dr. Jackson hero referred to the Harrisburg Railways Company system I and said: "It Is one of the best sy§- j terns in the State. I have occasion to ride over Its branches and take great pleasure in saying there is evidence of I co-operation and confidence." .

"I am very tired and very "broke.' I have just learned that the Ohio society has engaged rooms for me at a hotel for which I will n<Jt have to pay. This! is the best news I have heard in a long time. "I want to make particular mention of the American clearing house so ciety, which has been organized in Paris with a view to minimizing tli« waste of charity." Mrs. Herrick said that she did nol believe that any of the stories con cerning alleged German atrocities were true.
