During the past several days the trains on the various roads have been running considerably'behind schedule time, due to the heavy traffic of travelers ahd mail. Practically every train coming into Rensselaer has been late and the icy conditions that exist this morning will also add greatly to the handicap. The trains for the most part are carrying many extra cars to accommodate the Christmas travelers. :

Comrade Fox spent Christmas in Rensselaer shaking hands with his old friends. Coiftrade has a good position in the Monon shops at Lafayette. So indispensable has Comrade become that while all other employes are laid off for a week, he will he on the job and thus add a considerable amount to his last 1916 check. Comrade was mighty busy but he had tx come back home to see everybody an< to collect an election bet which Louis Hannon owed him. Comrade still has a glad Hand and a good word for everyone. The Monon has enjoyed a splendid business since our ex-fellow townsman has been giving it his undivided attention.
