IL stands to reason that private concerns can do the same. A short time ago wa called attention to the fact that mann facturers of artificial ice in JacksonvflIe. Fla, were retailing the product at 1s cents per l00 pounds. and making a sat> isfaetory profit thereon. While the ordj nary consumer may never hope to be so fortunate as the government departments In obtaining cheap ice, the figures quoted above afford ample ground for the be- lief that the time will come when nri- vate enterprise will awake to a realiza- tion or the possibility of safe and secure profit from the manufacture and sale on large scale of artificial ice at a price far below that now charged to the consumer for the natural product Tho conditions under which artificial ice ia made in Washington or in Jacksonville cannot vary much from conditions in oth- CT cities, and it is reasonable to assume that the cost of manufacture will not vary materially in any part of the coun- try.
 If the United States government finds 1t practical to manufacture fec for it's own use in the nations capital, why may not municipalities also em.ark in the business of making ice? Ice is almost as much of necessity as water, electricity or gas, and if it is proper for a munich pality to furnish one or more of these. why not ell? Municipal fee plants have been advocated in several cities, and all though, so far as we know, none has been established as yet it would not be surprising if the postoffice department's success in making ice at 6 cents a ton should eventually lead to the general es- tablishment of municipal ice plants. In fact we believe that such will be the outcome unless private enterprise steps in ahead and furnishes ice at a retail price in keeping with the actual cost of production.

 Poor old Jim, still profoundly de- pressed about the state of poor old Hank, went his path a few minutes later on, and then a gang sitting ato ne Of the rear tables called me over.
 There were about seven in the gang sitting around that table, and all of em were there with their quick working in-one thing that showed how long they d been making rings with the bottom of their glasses. After about an hour of that rapid fire stuff they began to break up.
 "The first man to leave was chap that only leans against the old brine about twice a year, and then he makes a bus mess of it. He wasn't SO pad off, though, when he made his getaway, and didn't appear to have good start yet. But the remaining six shook their blocks sadly when he passed along.

PRESS AGENT ACTIVE.
Busy Trying to Get Free Advertising
 in Newspapers.

 From the Lexington (Ky) Herald
 The press agent is receiving some att tention at the hands of the newspaper publishers The last annual meeting or the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation discussed the subject at some length.
 The action of the publishers has not. however, decreased the activities of the press agent. In fact, this business seems to be growing rapidly. The press agent is occupying a field that has developed within the last few years. His activities cover wide range of subjects. He is employed to do press work for every con- ceivable sort of enterprise, from char itable institution to bunko mining scheme.
 The Herald has saved the greater part of this class of matter received at this office during the past week. If all of 1t were published 1t would more than fill a single issue of the paper. No doubt a considerable quantity of this matter has been thrown out with the circular mail that is received almost daily in the av- craze newspaper office, and this accumu- lation does not represent the actual re- ceipts within one week.
 The matter which is referred to does not take any account of numerous com munications, sufficient to take up some five or six columns in regard to the pro- hibition movement, both for and against state wide prohibition, including several articles evidently inspired by the Model License league, as we'll as several in- spired by the Anti-Saloon league; nor does it take into consideration communi- cations received during the week, which would fill 15 or 20 columns in regard to the tobaceo situation, nor in regard to the water question.
 The larger proportion of it Is matter that ought to be paid for at advertising rates, since it is designed to advance some- body's business. If alleged philanthro- pists can pay press agents to prepare their matter they ought to be willing to pay the newspapers for the publicity se- cured. In many cases the press agent is not only paid for the production of the copy, but for securing free space in the newspapers. He is compensated for the work the newspaper does for nothing.
 As long as the newspapers permit themselves to be imposed upon the press agent will flourish and grow rich. The pioneers In this business have already made fortunes, and the rate at which they have multiplied within the last few years suggests easy money Every self respecting newspaper ought to throw ev- cry communication from press agent into the waste basket without a mo- ment's consideration.

rest of the gang took to that chronic headshaking thing again. I was getting used to 1t by this time, but I gave ear to the rumbler
 Well, Freds in Dutch this time, I'm afraid. was what he was saying.
 How's that?' I asked, just to clear my pipes little. I knew what was going to be sprung, but I wanted to stick around for the finish
 Well, he's rapping the old thing again. as you can see.' said the rumbler, and that means the jump number by his wife. His wife, of course you're hep, is there with all kinds of a big hunk of change, but she's been getting sorer than Carrie Nation on the Juice thing of Fred's for long time now. and the last why, she said that it was going to be the last for sure.
 That's what they said anyhow at the time. We'll, here he's doing the head spin again with himself and 1t looks as if he's going to lose out on that all plush home of his sure enough.
 It's a wonder a gink that lands soft like that wouldn't have the nut to stick along, hey, and behave? But there's no easing him off when he gets a running start and he'll frisk right along now till he finishes in a bug ward with the gi- raffes neckng around the footboard of his haypile. Oh, well. oh, well,' and he finished it like all the rest of 'em did.
 "Well, wound up the man who doesn't drink at all, 1T stuck around just out of curiosity till the last member of that table party had done the melt away And the headshake was pulled on every man that went out, take 1t from me. although all of 'em were shipped under the same colors and sailing in the same frigate.
 Show me about these pickles. It wouldn't be such a rave if they didn't appear to mean every line of 1t, but they all do. There's line in Burns that fits the gag. It's about seeing ourselves and all like that

Cost of MakIno Ice.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Union.
 Ice consumers everywhere will be in- terested in the news that the government is contemplating the manufacture of ice for the use of the various departments. The postoffice department in Washing ton has a complete ice-making plant, and is turning out more ice than 1t can use. Secretary Mcveagh of the treasury department says ice costs b6 cents ton. This department uses a ton of Ice every 24 hours in the water coolers throughout the big building. It has been paying pri- vate dealers T.65 ton. Under the new arrangement with the oostcTice depart ment the Ice costs 6j cents a ton, sav- ing of approximately ss3oo year. This Is at the rate of 30 pounos of ice for cent. 15O pounds for cents, 300 pounds for 10 cents, or 75O pounds for 26 cents.
