Many of the residents of New Gretna

automobile from the garage of some
wealthy owner. This is brought about
by the strange actions of two men, who

endeavoring to sell the machine at a ridic
ulously low price The place where the
automobile is stored is an out-of-the-way
place, and it was left in a very careless
condition, the strangers taking no time to
clean it.

An increase in the price of ice from 20
to so cents hundred went into effect at
Burlington yesterday. Failure of the ice
crop last winter has resulted in famine
of that commodity in many sections, thus
placing dealers and consumers at the
mercy of the ice trust. Butchers, gro
GERS and ice cream merchants predict

BILE commodities dependent upon cold
storage. No doubt this condition will re-

Yesterday if the scarcity of ice would
bring about a change in the sale of ice
cream, Joseph G. Bower said: II cannot
tell yet whether the price will be increased
or the quantity served at the present
prices diminished. To ice cream dealers
the situation is a most embarrassing one "
The price of ice has advanced In Mount

for drinks this summer, the privilege of
buying six tickets for quarter having
been taken away.
