fallen out Of fashion. 1t was founded
by Daniel Day, commonly called Good
Day." a benevolent pumpmaker Of Wap-

bacon and beans beneath the branches of
a great oak tree at Fair,op before Hahn
auit forest was disalforested. The GUS
tom OF going out to eat beans and bacon
at this spot on this date spread through
East London, and a regular fair was es-
.ablished around Fairlop Oak. With the
destruction Of the old oak trees and the
Enclosure Of Hainault forest. the Fairlop
festival fell into desuetude. but the
phrases to "give beans and "bean-feast'

Tn connection with the plans OF the

about one months time in the demoil-

tenants in the two blocks. Ihese no

The Ice Crop and High Prices

The ice man has his little piece
already learned. He will have
plenty Of plausible excuse for high
prices next summer, unless there
is colder weather through Febru-
airy in til great ice producing sec
tions.
The production IN the colder
climates controls prices to a con
siderable'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 the
use of artificial ice, however, there
should be no such advance in price
as would have occurred if snch
warm weather had struck the
great natural ice field some years
ago. An investigation recently
made of conditions in the ice trade
in l20 cities all over the United
States showed that the price does
not necessarily rise as the latitude
figures grow smaller,
Az Houston, Texas, they were
selling artificial ice at 20 cents a
hundred. If customers would
come and carry it off they got il
for Is. Meanwhile at Washing
ton. d. G., they we're paving SO
