A Books Place at Christmas.

Herbert Quick, one of the most noted
of Iowa's authors thinks the sacred
ness of the bound volume is losing
vogue and that with the multiplicity OF
books appearing from the press of to-
sday no author can hope to produce a
volume that will be read by. all the
people within such time as will enable
it to be an integral part Of the common
thought. u
!. His theory is that even tho books as
great as Dickens and Hugo ever wrote
shall be produced they will never hold
public attention long enough to become
familiar to even considerable portion
of the people.
Yet he says books will always be
popular and the need of good books
in every home as great even greater
than ever. And in these days when
good books are so easily obtained. every
home should contain wise selection.
And whatever may be ones idea of
what should or should not be read
there is no question about the ability
to secure what one desires. The book
makers have been busy during the past
year in producing not only new books
by new authors, but special editions
of the old authors, de luxe editions by
the scores. The book lover and book
buyer will find in the seasons offerings
an unusual opportunity to display his
good taste and good judgment not only
in selection of his own reading. but
that which he may give to his friends.

Mason City, Dec. 1.-THE ice crop
in Mason City and Clear Lake and in
northern Iowa generally, promises to
be far less profitable to the iceman
than is usually the case. After the first
zero weather when the ice was frozen
on lake ard stream to a depth of eight
or nine inches, a period of unseason-
ably mild weather came. This period
continued too long for the good of the
iceman, for the continued melting tenn
peratures softened the ice to depth
Of four or five inches from the surface
This is the sort of ice which the boys
cali rotten" having been rendered soft
and easily broken. Then too. all the sur.
and renders it unfit for USE The Ice
men are now praying for weather warm
enough to entirely melt the ice now
formed. They, however, pray tor TIE
almost impossible since usually at this
time OF the year the ice is almost a foot
thick and rapidly growing thicker. IL
the experience of previous years is any
criterion, real winter will soon be upon
northern Iowa. and with It, will come
the deep freezing of solid ice under this
rotten surface.
If such is the case, all the ice cut
will have to be scraped free OF the
rotten porous surface before it is
placed in storage. This will mean much
labor. at big expense and therefore
II curtailment of the icemen's profits
Ice cutting usually begins about the
middle of January. Clear Lake annu-
ally cuts enough ice to supply Mason
City and Northwestern and Milwau- ,
kee railroads, as we'll as hundreds of
other towns in Iowa and Nebraska. The !
crop will this year be as abundant as
ever, but it is now feared that the quail !
ity will be below that of former years. /
This fact is especially deplorable, since
it is the clarity and pureness of Clear
Lake ice which has created for it the
wide market which it now supplies.
