FEAR ICE FAMINE
Supply Of Ice for Remainder Of
Autumn Decidedly Small and
Prices May Soar
MUCH ICE LOST THIS SEASON

A threatened ice famine in Chi
cago causes alarm in this city, as two
local ice dealers are purchasing ice
from the companies who furnish ice
in Chicago and the supply is running
low. Several houses packed with ice
have been destroyed this season and
225,0 900 tons lost. Had the ice houses
not been destroyed there would be no
danger of an ice famine.
With only enough ice to supply the
demand for seven days if the hot
weather of the last week should con-
tinue, Chicago is confronted with an
ice famine of such alarming proper
tions that the dealers of the city are
securing the country endeavoring to
sec IRE sufficient ice to tide over until
the cool weather sets in.
Not only is Chicago stricken with a
Shortage of ice, but even northern
Canada is seeking flee wherever OBJ
tainable, and St. Paul, Mimi, in the
northwest is also without sufficient
ice to supply the needs of the city.
The famine extends through the en-
tire middle section of the United
States.
Out of the thirty-five dealers of
magnitude in Chicago there are but
five chat are able to provide their Gus
toners with the usual supply of ice.
Several of the smaller dealers have
cut their supply down to such an ex-
tent that it is said that they will be
out by today. AS it is impossible to
buy ice anywhere and as the five
large dealers who are equipped with
ice refuse to take on any additional
customers the outlook if the weather
continues hot is alarming.
The warm weather, however, is not
the only thing that has reduced the
supply of ice. For the last FIVE weeks
thirty car loads have been shipped
daily to the peach orchards of Michi-
gan. This in itself has seriously
crimped the stock Of the dealers and
occurred at time when shortage of
magnitude was not expected.
With the shortage the announce
ment is made that the price of ice
will be advanced 10 cents on the hun
dred within the next twenty-four
hours unless the weather turns cooler.
It is also stated that the price may go
beyond any figure ever known in the
history of Chicago unless something
Iintervenes to relieve the condition.
President James Field, of the Knick-
erbocker Ice company, of Chicago,
last night declared that he would be
able to fulfill all his contracts with the
supply that he had on hand, but that
his company would be unable to take
care of any new trade. President
Richard Adams, of the Zuttermeister
Ice company, stated that he would be
able to care for all of his patrons, but
that he would not take on any bust
ness beyond what he had been
handling.

CHARIVARI FOR sTAHL

Welcome on His Return to Kenosha
Benjamin E. Stahl, the we'll known
1iveryman, had the good fortune to
get married a few days ago and
the misfortune to belong to that
famous social organization known as
the 'sHot Air Club. Mr.. Stah1 and
his bride had been spending their
honeymoon in the South but they
slipped back into town on the Oils
train last night. The bride and groom
we're of the opinion that their move
ments we're not observed but two
hours after they had arrived IN the
city forty of the members of the Hot
Air Club marched in a body to the
Stahl home. The bride groom was
torn from the house and with the ac-
compartment of Changing bells and
footing horns he was forced to march
up and down Main street carrying a
banner on which had been inscribed
81 have just been married.. AS this
was one of the regulations Of the club
Mr.. Stah1 took his medicine without
complaint and at the end of the
charivari the members of the club
had dinner at the expense Of the
newly married man.

sponges Ready for Use.

AS soon as the spOnges are brought
aboard, they are thrown in heaps on
deck near the scuppers where the bare
footed sailors tramp and work out the
ooze; then, strung ON lines, they are
soused over the side, and trail over
board some ten hours during the
night. To break and separate from
them shell-fish and other parasites
they are beaten with heavy sticks On
the deck or on the reef rocks off Tri-
poll; and after being well soaked in
the sea again many are bleached by
being immersed in a tub Of water con-
Iaining a certain solution of oxalic
acid, from which they emerge a yell
loWish color, care having been taken
to avoid burning them.
Often great strings of sponges
bleaching and drying in the sun cover
large portions of standing rigging of
deposit boats when in port When
dry they are worked up in sand, then
packed in boxes ready for shipment;
a quarter to third of the crop is sold
direct from Tripoli, mainly to England
and to France and Italy; the bulk Of
the crop, unbleached and unprepared,
is taken at the close of the season to
the islands from which the boats came,
where long experience, manipulation
and cheap labor prepare them for the
European market. -Harper's Mag
azine.

Who can tell what an obstacle game
is? It Is great fun. Set stools, chairs,
ables-anything that is an obstacle
in the most inconven4ent places in a
room. Let those who are to take part
in the game have two minutes to get
their bearings. Then they leave the
room anu come back in a moment
blindfolded In the meantime all the
obstacles have been removed, but the
warning cries Of Look outp' and the
absurd attempts of the players to re-
member where the obstacles were
make much fun.

Forgot Her Lines.

She was pretty girl and the mo-
ment she entered the grocery store the
youthful members Of the staff of
clerks all made rush, eager to take
her order.
Each was sure she must be the
daughter of a millionaire or the ward
OF some wealthy citizen. She was at
tired in the breeziest of summer
frocks, and enjoyed complexion Of
the peach-blow tint and profile of
the Murillo- Gibson type.

ment that day. It will be the duty
of the State Secretary Immediately on
the receipt of these reports to wire
back to all the local managers the
number of cars that will be shipped
from every section of Georgia that day
and to give to the local managers d.
rections for shipping or dtverting SO
that we will avoid Cutting the vari-
Gus markets.
Our growers here have taken hold
of this organization with enthusiasm
and at our first meeting. although
many of the growers were unavaid-
ably detained from meeting with us,
40 per cent. Of the stock was sub
scribed and the balance will be sub
scribed during the coming week. Our
headquarters will be Baldwin, Ga.
"The question OF freight rates. re-
frjgeration rates and railroad service
in general is one that all growers real
ize be of the utmost importance,
and experience has taught the grow
ers at Grand Junction, Colorado and
throughout California, Oregon and
Washington, that it was absolutely
necessary for them to organize their
business in such a way that their IN
terests could be handled by one In
dividual who could treat with the
railroads from a more or less 1nde-
pendent position. The railroad agents
would much prefer, il concessions are
to be made, to feel that they have only
one man to make deals with and they
are much more apt to make conces-
sions than if each individual grower
should make requests. BY our COM
bining, pressure could be brought to
bear by diverting large, or small,
percentage of the business to certain
roads and as IN the case OF all large
combinations relief could be had.
The Piedmont Fruit Company at
Baldwin, Ca, intends to hire a mana
ger whose duty it will be to look az
ter the shipping Of all fruit, and by in
telligent direction cause this fruit to go
to places where it will not come In
contact with a glutted market, and to
places where 1t will be sure to bring
the best market price.
In past years many individual fruit
growers have sustained heavy losses
by not being able to place their prod
uct in the proper market. BY the Or
ganization of Fruit Company it Is
thought that the fruit can be handle
to better advantage. 1t is hoped that
fruit growers all over Georgia will con-
slider this matter carefully, as the time
is coming when our fruit will have to
be handled in a more systematic man
ner in order to reap the greatest
profit.
Mr.. A. M. Kitchens, of Baldwin, Ca,
will attend any local meeting and aid
in the proper organization OF same.

it's fair for each. We put corn at 30

cotton at s cents. We note result as
