THE ICE CROP AND HIGH PRICES

! HE ICE CROP ANU f1iSF1 THlSEo
The iceman has his little piece al
ready learned. He will have plenty
of plausible excuse for high prices
next summer, unless. there is, cold
er weather through February in the
great ice producing sections.
The production in the colder eli
mates controls prices to a cOnsid-
cradle extent, even in sections where
artificial ice is largely used or
where the weather has not been
warmer than normal this winter.
With the great increase in use OF
artificial ice, however, there should
be no sucha dvance in price as would
have occurred if such warm weather
had struck the great natural ice
field some years ago. An inVestI-
CATION recently made of conditions
in the ice trade in 100 cities all over
the United States showed that the
price does not necessarily rise as
the latitude figures grow smaller.
At Houston, Tex, they were sell
ing artificial ice at Is cents hun
dred. If customers would come anG
carry it off, they got it for Is. Mean
while at Washington, D. C. they were
paving % cents, in New York 40, a.
Kansas City 40.
One great reason for the high Cost
of ice is the dislike of the icemaT
to weigh his cakes. The task of tot
ing his great chunks of frost is {
heavy strain on even strong man
Weighing ice means an addition
al lift to the hight of the scales
Under these circumstances, it i:
not strange that he has perfect con
fidence in the accuracy of his judg
ment.
Another trouble is the shrinkas'
of ice as it is being carted about tht
town. The customers who live nea
| the icehouses get about what the.
paid for Those at the end of the
route may easily lose five to tel
pounds, out of their so on hot day
The iceman usually is willing enoug
to give an extra piece to balance th'
| loss. But he will hardly do it i
| the housewives so busy playing bridg
| that she cam inspect her purchases

1.-THE President Elect"
Next the dOOrkeeper will announce:
The president elect and vice presi.
dent elect"
Then he will add:
The chief justice and associate Jus
tees of the supreme court"
After the judiciary is announced
come the ambassadors and members
of the diplomatic corps" These per-
sonages likewise march down the aisle
and seat themselves in front of the
vice presidents desk. the arrangement
being such that the president, the presi-
dent elect and vice president elect and
the cabinet. the admiral Of the navy
and chief Of STAFF of the army sit on
one side, while on the other are placed
the members of the supreme court
and the diplomats in their brilliant
court uniforms
For the accommodation Of these dis
tinguished people chairs have been
brought from the marble room and the
presidents room. A good many ex-
members and members elect of the
house Of representatives sit or stand
about in other parts of the chamber.
And it is about this time of day that
the people of the United States become
practically a country without an &C.
tive government for a short period
There is no president of the United
States, there is no vice president, and
the house of representatives does not

MOVING PICTURES THAT TALK.

Who could have dreamed ten years
ago what proportions the moving pic
tWe business would reach? You looh
ed at it then simply as a popular whim
that would hardly keep up with roll
er skating.
The last available figures show
! that these shows have box office re-
ceipts of $1O2,0O0,0OO a year Four
teen hundred regular play houses
have consequently boarded up their
doors or snapped live actors for
films.
The positive announcement by Mr..
| Edison that he has perfected an in
vention to combine moving pictures
with a phonograph promises added i'm
petus to a business that draws three
times as many people as the regular
dramatic companies.
| The cost of regular dramatic pro
auctions has been steadily mounting,
as board and lodging for travel 'ng
companies, cost of scenery, and Ia
Dor in shifting and arranging same,
constantly grew higher.
| Then came the moving picture show
and beat out the barn stormer COM
pany Of actors. The actual back
ground OF a picture show, with real
| buildings, tree foliage shimmering in
the breeze, shadows Pickering on the
ground, is as much superior to paint
ed scenery as old Ocean is to the
marine chrome Many regular dram
attic company also is far inferior in
brains, and often no better in stage
| technique, than the ordinary local
amateur performance put on for chart
| ty
1t costs no money to board a pic
ture film, and t is carried around the
country, not in Pullmans, but in
freight cars. The one thing desira-
BILE about the moving picture bust
ness lis that the public should care
more for really educatiYe pictures
Of travel rather than dramas of crime
and wild life talked in some city SUI
| burb. But the ta!wdry thriller of e.
lopements and pistols often seems to
draw the most hand claps.

THE DRUMMER AND HIS TIPS

G. A Lorenzen, a Chicago cigar
salesman, retiring from business the
past week, made public his expense
accounts showing $4,000 paid in tips
in 20 years His average was SIS
per month. If you don't pay tips,
said Mr.. Lorenzen, you are black
listed"
|. AS Salesmen's expenses are paid
by the house directly or indirectly,
the cost of all the unwilling ser
vice one meets on the road is added
to the price Of the goods.
The drummer is a natural prey.
The tourist may give up more liber-
ally, bit he is occasional and inter
mittent Moreover. having a certain
amount of free time TO himself, he
is often inclined to give battle a
gainst the Hessians, and either tip
not at all or at low rate.
The drummer, On the other hand,
carries impediments. As the soul of
an army lies in it's eommissary wag-
ons, so the soul of the drummer is
in his trunks. Many a time he would
like to seize a baggage truck and trv
die the plaguey things himself.
But he can't, as there is another
day coming, and the same battle must
be fought over again on the tipsters
own dung-hill YOu can't war against
all the transportation underworld,
if you must travel over and over a
gain the same rod.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons
why only certain type of man
makes a success as a drummer. Just
as he must be able to sleep doubled
up on a wooden bench at junction
station, so he must be able to be
continuously MIXED and keep on
smiling, And the man with too keen

THE FARMERS AND CORNERS

The United States Supreme Court,
having laid down the principle that
corners in food, clothing material,
etc, are in violation of the United
States law, it remains to be seen
whether the spectators can continue
to gamble with the poor mans loaf
OF bread and cotton night shirt as
the stakes.
While public sentiment is very gen
orally against corners, some rather
plausible arguments in their favor
have always been advanced. l t is
said that they enable the farmers to
get more for their cotton and grain
and that they prevent foreign coun-
tries from getting 6slr crop supplies
at too low prices.
But does the farmer get the bene-
fit of corners?
What is the farmer doing when the
storms of financial frenzy. resulting
from attempts to corner the market
break loose on the produce exchange
The history OF these flurries shows
that the corner rarely happens I'M
til the farmer has disposed of most
Of his crop. In the big attempt to
corner the wheat market in 1909, it
was claimed that but 81 per cent of
the grain remained in the farmers
hands
The farmer is pretty thoroughly i'm
pregnated with that ancient maxim
of cold pT-ud ence, Let Well enough
alone" When he sees the bulls

The power of advertisign in paper
that goes into the homes was empha-
sized very strongly Friday evening.
The Big Store inserted three locals
in the columns OF the Daily Repor-
ter stating that Carnations would be
sold Saturday at 20 cents dozen. A
S.45 o'clock Saturday morning over
1000 carnations had been sold. The
ads in the Daily Reporter We're the
only advertising done, not even a
window card had been put up. The
result of this advertising shows that
Grand Rapids is no different from
any other city where the truth has al
ready known about advertising. In
other cities, it is the daily paper
that goes into the homes that gets
the business for the merchants.

Arrivals of vessels laden with water

are becoming fewer each day. though

eral more cargoes to come within the
next few days
But one melon-laden boat is reported
to have arrived at the wharf market in
the twenty-four hours ending this morn
ing, but there are four or Ave vessels at
the wharf with the fruit aboard, enough
to meet the light demand. The coming
OF cool weather will put an end to the
melon season. as there is very little de-
mand for them except in hot weather.
In the coming week oyster-laden craft
will take the place OF watermelon boats
at the 18th street wharf, but until the
latter part OF this month IL is probable
both melon and oyster laden boats will
be found lying side by side in the oyster
wharf docks.
