announcement Of New Retail Com
pany and New Plant May Pre-
clpItats an Ice
War.
WHOLESALE BUSINESS
Ultimate Consumer May Get the Bene-
fit Of Competition Dur
Ing the Sum-
NOR.

The consumer who stood agast
when the increased prices of Ice were
announced some time ago may be
cheered by the prospect Of an ice war
in Keokuk during the coming summer.
1t is almost certain that within the
next two weeks there will be a new
retail ice firm in this city shipping ice
here in car lots from large plant
in an Illinois city and selling 1t at a
rate below those now prevailing. The
same man who Is at the head Of this
firm expects to secure his Ice from
the new artificial ice factory when it
is in operation.
The new plant itself will be in oper-
alton by the middle Of June If possible.
c. H. Kane, Of Chicago, construction
superintendent for Swift & Co., who
has built more than four hundred
artificial ice plants, is pushing the
work as rapidly as possible and expects
to have 1t completed in record break
ing time.
The plans of the new company have
been changed SO as to provide for a
daily output Of from sixty to seventy
tons Of ice. The compressor being
installed has capacity of seventy
five tons but the size of the tanks
will regulate the output.
The new company will sell their ice
wholesale during the coming season
but will not allow any one company
to control the output. The ice is
made in four hundred pound cakes and
will be sold on that basis. The com.
pany will also probably control the
maximum price which will be the
standard of the country in cities Of
this size, very probably forty cents a
hundred.
Just what effect follows the price
cutting will not be known until the
retail company begins selling ice. The
price of ice has been raised in most
cities along the river where river
ice is used because of the difficulty
or inability to secure full harvest.

This movement will receive the
hearty support of the Faculty and we
believe it will receive the hearty sup
port of the patrons.
We believe that physical develop
ment and physical recreation are as
truly part of a well rounded school
as are the other phases. With this
in mind we have instituted athletics
for girls and boys. The athletics are
carefully supervised at all times.
Miss McGregor has charge of the
girls athletics and Mr.. Seaman and
myself of the boys.
In fact, we feel that we need only
the active interest and cooperation of
the patrons Of the school, in order to
make this by far the most successful
year in the history of the school.
There are many ways in which this
interest may be evinced. Visiting
the work of the school not only is
the best method to show your inter-
est, but will have a tendency to in
crease it and make i, more real.
There are numerous little regulations
necessary to school government, such
as, regulations in regard to absences
and tardies. An absence is detri-
mental in two ways. The chain Of
the child's instruction is broken, and
since under a recent law we draw
our apportionment from the State up
on an attendance basis, each absence
deducts so much from the amount of
money to be received from the state.
One tardy pupil may disturb an en-
tire class at recitation. BY a little
forethought on the part of the parent
much Of this annoyance may be avoid

To The Patrons of the Butler
High School.

Our High School has started to
work this year in better condition,
than, because of the prevailing
drought, we had even dared hope
for. We now have an enrolment OF
one hundred eighty seven. There
are SO tuition pupils in attendance
and a number of others who will
start soon. Our enrolment this year
will in all probability be larger than
ever before in spite of the fact that
reports from nonresident parents in
dictate that the out of town attendance
is not more than three-fourths or
four-fifths what it would have been
under more favorable crop conditions.
We have the strongest and best
prepared faculty that the school has
ever had. The new teachers have
adapted themselves readily to their
work and to the pupils. The new
Teachers Training Course" is prov
ing to be very popular. Fully one
fourth of the students have declared
their intention Of taking this course.
This in time will have a far reaching
effect for good in the schools Of our
county.

any building in town. Ice water is
furnished for drinking and as many
as possible of the pupils are dismiss
