Until There Is An Excess
From City Supply
81 PER 100 OFFER REFUSED
Frederick ktown Man Waits All Day
And Is Turned Down Because
OF Shortage-Break-Do
In Plant Forces Drastic
Action

With the neighboring county OF
Delaware unable to obtain anywhere
near it's desired quantity of ice, it be-
hooves Knox county people and resi-.
dents of Mt. Vernon to be very care.
full in their use of the same, accord
ing to Charles l.. Mild, chief engi.
neer of the Mt. Vernon Ice Co. who
on Friday night stated that the local
concern has been forced temporarily
to cut off outside trade and will not
even be able to supply the county for
several days.
The plant in this city is capable OF
producing S5 tons of ice day. This
has been ample i'll the past to supply
Mt. Vernon and Knox county, togeth-
er with Millersburg, Utica and other
places. Today, the demands of Mt
Vernon require the entire output.
Many people must be using double
the amount Of ice they did last year, u
Mr.. Mild remarked, and one man in
his hearing acknowledged that his
family was doing that this summer
A temporary breakdown the past
week cut down the output Of the To-
cal plant, Mr.. Mild stated, or else the
county could have been supplied.
Mr.. Mild said that customer in
Fredericktown spent all Of Friday at
the plant, leaving his wagon hitched
there, in an effort to obtain some ice.
At nightfall, he was refused with
apologies and with promises OF the
blocks of frozen water either on Sat
urday or the first of the next week.
Another man from the Caves, near
Millwood, was offering 81 hundred
pounds for ice, but the plant was
forced to turn this down, despite the
profit there would be in accepting the
bid. Local trade must be supplied
first, Mr.. Mild stated.
There is no immediate danger of a
famine, Mr.. Mild remarked, but if
the hot weather keeps up, it is very
much of problem how long the
county can be supplied with ice. The
city customers will always be cared
for, as long as the plant is producing
ice.

the act OF a certain candidate for the

Convinced of the strength of the
man to whose league he belongs, this,
particular candidate sent out a largo.
number of his personal cards, asking
for support at the primaries, to var
ious parts Of Knox county on which
he wrote in ink:
Member OF Herrick Voters League.
"The prime bone-headed trick OF
the campaign" was the way one Re
publican characterized the act when
asked his opinion Of 1t.
This glaring act looms up, unques-
tionably, as the biggest beef pulled
this year by any of the Republicans
who are candidates for Office, putting
to shame hopelessly the act of one
candidate in sending his cards to,
Homer, the act Of another in cam,

of a third, offering to organize a vol

Some Republicans are wondering
what is wrong with the men who are,

Cure For Rheumatism.

a guest at the Hotel Oakland, carries a
box of pet bees with him wherever he
goes. Every day one of the bees
obligingly stings Halliwell. He saws
this has cured him of rheumatism. He
keeps the bees in his room and feeds
them every day.
Halliwell explained the odd cure as
follows:
II have spent thousands of dollars
trying to cure my rheumatism and
specialists have failed to relieve me-
Then one day one OF my workmen told
me that if 1 would let bee sting me
every day l would be cured. tried his
suggestions and after five stings my
rheu matism vanished. Now ! always

matter of preparedness. New York
