Getting the Most Out 0 A Holiday In order to get the fullest en- Joyment out f your week-end hol- idays appro.ch them with a peace- ful and unruffled mind. That is to say, be forehanded enough to decide in advance what you are going to do, whers 2nd in what manner you are go- ing, and what purchases need be made for your comfort and recie- ation, Our advertisers try to simplify matters for you. Their announce- ments contains a world of just the kind of information and sugges- tion you need. Nothing so dulls the keen edge of vacation or-half holiday enjoy- ment as to fret over purchases and arrangements that should have been made in advance, or to dis- cover, too late, some little thing left undone or forgotten.

Under the provisions of the agree- ment, every person who has pur- chased a passenger ticket since July 1, 1911, under the 3cent-a-mile fare basis, can recover 1 cent for every mile traveled by presenting a proper claim to the company. There has been some dispute as to the matter of proof in such cases. Generally speaking, a receipt for fare paid is prima facie evidence that the holder is entitled to a refund and can hardly be disputed. But any person who can' prove by competent evidence that he actually paid for a ticket and made a certain Journey is also entitled to a refund. Just - the mount of proof necessary has not been established, but the at-. torney general’s office is of the opin- ion that any evidence sufficient in an ordinary action for money due will be i, MeBride “broke” into the National league in 1905, when he was pur- chased from the St. Joseph team by the Pittsburgh club.
