ice A PUBLIC UTILITY.
John Dawson VIII Ask Next Legisla
ture to Make 1t So.

| Attorney General John S. Dawson Will
ask the 1915 legislature to enact law
making ice public utility and stipulating
that ice prices may be regulated by the
public utilities commission in the same
manner that freight rates. telephone rates
and affairs of public service corporations
are now handled by the commission
Already this year there have been two
or three dozen complaints about the high
price of ice in different cities of the state,
Mr.. Dawson said.
ice is a public necessity, and ice plants
ought to be classed as public utilities, the
same as gas or electricity.
Il have been told by makers of Ice ma
chimes that they can install a lotion ice
plant in almost any Kansas town that is
on railroad and make ice at from S1.60
to % a ton. They sell 1t for s. to so a
ton, The cost depends almost entirely on
the cost of the coal, the other expenses
being practically the same throughout the
state. The prevailing price for ice in the
large Kansas towns to the domestic con-
sumerS who use twenty-five pounds a day
is 40 cents hundred pounds for ice that
cost 10 cents to make The delivery cost,
of course, is the largest item in the ice
business. but have been informed that in
Chattanooga, Tenn, ice is being sold at
20 cents a hundred pounds to domestic
consumers and the ice company officials
assert they are making a profit.
When the legislature meets am going
to have all the information can obtain
about the ice business for the legislature
to pass an act to enable the cities to regu-
late the ice prices"

the possession of a ''pedigreed" plant
"a Madona lily. The parent plant
was grown and perfected in Ger
many on the banks of the Rhine, and
was brought to America about a
hundred years ago by the first Kientz
of the family who ennigrated to this
country. The journey across was
made in sailing vessel, which was
81 days on the water. A stage coach
trip to western New York completed
the journey, and there the delicate
flower. transplanted- from a German
strand, became the first settler of its
kind in the new land.
In 1876 Mr.. Kientzs father moved
to Kansas and settled in Jefferson
county. and took with him a bulb
from the old plant. Thirteen years
ago that stalk was moved to Topeka,
and is now blooming at the corner
of the porch of Mr.. Kientz's house
1915 Kansas avenue. The stalks from
the bulb grow almost to the height
of a man, and each stalk bears about
twelve blossoms. 1t is very long
lived, luxurianr in growth and beau
tiful in blossom.
Mr.. Kientz also has a rambler grow
ing over his porch that is the envy
and despair of all the other devotees
of crimson ram blers in town.
