short visit to his mother and sisters.
Mr.. Alexander made the Sun an

in connection with his trip to the
state capitol, that he went in the in.

were candidates for various legisla.

the fact that they were successful
without single exception.

9 Price of Ice
9 In Orlando.
OOOOOOOOOO 90,

THE NEWS promised to give Its
i readers information about the
price of ice in Orlando, as compared
to the price in DcLand. The facts
are as follows:
Ice Is sold in Orlando at Is cents per
hundred pounds in 100 pound deliv-
cries; a little more is charged on a
sliding scale, until for 1O.pound deliv-
cries the price is 81 per 300 pounds.
In DeLand the price is 40 to as cents
in 100-pound deliveries. In smaller
amounts, the price is 95 cents for 100
pounds, payable in advance.
The price in DcLand Is about tire
times as high as in Orlando for small
purchases, and twice as high for 100
pound pure bases.
This is only another instance of John
B. Stetson's philanthropy"
An effort is now being made to Sc

of competitive ice bust

News Notes
From University

|
The Stetson Junior again proved
themselves worthy of the name they
bear by defeating the Daytona High
School team on Saturday last by q
score Of 6 10 4. 1t was a good game
all the time and the Stetson boys
showed great improvement in the
last two weeks. Daytona was clearly
outclassed and had no chance OF
win uing except in the last Of the
ninth when they ran in three runs.
Campbell, however, by good throw
to Henley on second cut off an at.
tempt to steal and retired the side
before further damage was done.
Curry pitched good game for Stet-
son after giving several bases on
balls in the first two innings
He pulled out OF several bad holes
and proved too speedy for the Day
tona players. Ipglis played good
game on third, handling grounders
in nice shape and stopping several
overthrows to him. Henley is a
good man on second ind is always
found just where needed most.
