given out by the National agricultural de-
partment is 100000 bushels. as COM
pared with five-year average of 1,792,-
600. In oats, the forecast is 100000
and the fiye-year average :, $500 Thus
III these two important crops there is a
decided gain.
In potatoes, on the other hand, the
July forecast indicates a considerable
smaller crop than USUAL. 15O.00O. as
compared with the fye-year average of
3,414,00o. The hay outlook is less favor
able, the percentage of condition being a.
against an average of IS. Pastures are So
in condition, or 10 points less than the
lOyear average. Apples are 81, while
the 1O-year average is only Intending

JOHNSON FINED $50.
Evidence Not Sufficient to Convict
Winhau Boy of Shooting.

BENNINGTON, July 13. = A II.
year-old WinhaI boy by the name Of
Anthony johnson, who has been in the
county Jail for several weeks, was
brought before the municipal court
Saturday on an information filed by
the state s attorney and charging a
simple assault. Upon his plea of gull
ty he was fined $50 with costs of
$l6.07 and sentenced to not less than
two years in the house of correction
at Rutland. The sentence to the
house Of correction was RENTED and
the boy was placed in the charge of
Probation Officer Philip T. IL. Pier
son. A permit was obtained from the
probation officer for the boy to go to
Albany where he will be employed
by a relative.
The boy was held for the grand
jury after neighbor in Winhall, Ben
iamin Beers, had complained that on
June II he had been fired upon by
some person whom he could not pcs
sitively identify but whom he be-
lieved to be the boy, johnson. There
was conflicting testimony at the hear
ing. Friends of the boy insisted that
he was not in the vicinity at the time
the two shots were alleged to have
been fired at Beers. The hearing,
however, brought out the fact that
there had been trouble between the
two and that the boy had threatened
to Click Beers.
While there was not sufficient evil
dence to convict the boy Of the allee-
ed shooting thecourt took into consid-
Grafton other circumstances in the
case in imposing the sentence.

Notice to the Public,

To the Citizens and Ice Consumers of
the City of Denison, Iowa:
Since starting out in the ice bust
ness and raising the price of ice de-
livered to consumers, there seems to
be considerable comment and criti-
cism that l am taking advantage of
the situation in that there is no COM
petition. l wish to say in answer to
this criticism that if the consumer
will stop and think for minute be-
fore expressing himself and figure the
expense OF delivering the ice, to con-
sumers, l am sure they will have no
complaint to make at the price of 45c
the town will not use more than 20
pounds per day during the ice season.
The ice mans outfit necessary to de-
liver the ice to the consumer is not
less than $4,000, besides the wages
and upkeep of two men with each out
fit, then there is the shrinkage and
waste of the ice in delivering, which
is constant drain. Just think Of the
ice man having to deliver in the ice
box to three different customers for
45c or II 4 to each, say nothing about
the price of the ice. The service alone
is worth the price paid. l must have
reasonable compensation for ice and
services or l cannot live and keep up
my expenses and support my family.
wish to be courteous to my custom
ers and give them good service and
by so doing l do not believe they will
feel that / am overcharging for my
products. | expect to remain in this
business, therefore | could not afford
to make unreasonable charges.
Thanking the trade for careful
consideration of this advance, l re-
main,
E. c.. BAUM.
