MAY BUILD ICE PLANT
Retail Grocers and Butchers Associa-
ton is Considering the Building
of PISTON Plant.

A representative of big company
who manufacture machinery for ice
plants was in the city consulting with
the committee Of butchers and gro
GERS concerning the establishment of
an ice factory in Cairo. He guaran
tees to put up liant of 25 tons
capacity would take s1,500 stock
would require only % per cent of the
cost Of the plant to be paid by the
stockholders and take part of the
net receipts each year until the plant
was all paid for. A guarantee also
would be made that the ice could be
manufactured at a certain (very low
cost. 1t is not expected that a plant
will be bnilt this year as a contract
has already been entered into with
AN East St Louis factory for supply
ing ice the coming season. The
plant can supply II needed 60 tons n
day.

Or. Grinstead expressed good sen
tirnent when he said, in his little talk
at the council meeting Tuesday night,
that he had put his little savings"
into two or three good buildings in
Cairo, preferring small profits from
Investments that would be creditable
to the city, to large returns from ram
shackle structures. 1t is true that in
a city made up Of 50 many compare
lively POOR people, homes must be
available at moderate rents; but
there is no good reason why such
homes should not be neat affairs and
kept that way. There Is no reason
why such homes should not be torn
down and rebuilt. after they have
made for their owners from ten tc
forty times their original cost and
have become disgrace to the city.

The Short Talks" contributor of
The Bulletin Is loyal Cairoite, any
way, and an optimist in the super
latiye degree. He extracts some good
for the city even from the evils
which have brought 1t so prominently
and SO unpleasantly before the world
during the last several months, and
may his theory prove true. It stands
to reason, however, that the adver.
tiging which Cairo has received be
cause of the evil things that have
marked her in the public eye, can be
of benefit to the city only in so fal
as it shall leave the impression that
the people of Cairo are engaged In
a prodigious struggle to rid them
selves Of evils strongly entrenched
and that they are going to be sue
cessful in the end.

kind. The reason for this Is that the
Brahmas are much longer maturing,
while the Game and all the small or
medium.siEed breeds are sooner de-
yeloped They feather up quickly and
acquire the much desired plumpness
sooner and more easily than do any
Of the larger breeds. This Is espe-
cially SO with the pullets, though the
same rule applies with cockerels,
which latter require maturity (not
necessarily age) to make them really
