THERMOMETER
REGISTERS ZERO
Local Creamery's New Cold
Room Sends Mercury Away
Down Into Bulb

IF Won want to find the coolest place
in town 90 down to the local creamery
and ask Manager Dietrich to usher
you into the company's new cooling
room. It will be registering anywhere
from zero to 10 above.
This room, however, was not intend
ed for passenger service but was IN
stalled for the purpose of hardening
ice cream and of saving the creamery
force a lot of needless labor. The old
ice cream packer with its salt, and ice
and slop has been discarded. Now
after the cream has been frozen in the
big freezer it is put into metal contain
ers and chucked onto shelf in the
hardening room where the tempera-
ture is kept around the zero mark. The
result is that if you wish to "mooch"
a dish of ice cream down at the cream
ery you have to chop it out of the
container with a Ratchet and carry it
out into the sun awhile before it is
warm enough to eat. But the results
that really count is that the creamery's
ice cream gets to the trade in excel
lent condition and doesn't have to be
"salted" down before it is hard enough
to serve.
Altho the creamery is doing largely
a wholesale business the cold room
is always stocked with supply Of
small packages for retail orders. This
cream is put up in special pint and
quart parafine packages that come
from the hardening room as firm as
solid chunks of ice. Cream in these
packages will keep in excellent condi-
ton for hours after taken from the
room and are especially adapted for
use in the country homes that have no
ice supply.
Manager Dietrich says the COM
lpany's ice cream business has doubled
within the last month and is heavier
than ever before. -

RAILROADS NOW ARE
FRIENDLY TO RIVERS
Cooperation for Exchange Of
Traffic is Now Sought by
Railways of the Country

War conditions have created a new
attitude on the part of the railroads
toward water transportation. The
railroads war board, in communica-
ton to the chief Of engineers, United
States army, declared:
"The railroads will welcome any
practicable water transportation and
they are prepared to cooperate cor
daily with responsible persons or cor
porations who may provide such wa
ter transportation by the exchange of
traffic, the issuance Of joint bills of
lading and, if necessary where condi-
tions justify it, by joining the water
carriers in the building of tracks to
connect the railroads with the wharves
and landings of water carriers"
By inducing the railroads to adopt
a policy of making every freight car
carry its maximum capacity, the rail
road war board reports that increased
efficiency already has been equivalent
to adding 10000 cars to the available
equipment. In service the board re-
ports, it was equal to an addition Of
35, 900 miles of railroad to the roads
in the United States with density of
freight traffic on each mile equal to
the average density for all railroads
Of the United States for 1915.
The board estimates that If cars
were loaded 10 per cent in excess Of
their marked capacity it would be
equivalent to adding 100000 cars to
available equipment. Loading, conges-
ton, speed in movement and other
points are closely being watched SO
that loss in capacity will not result
from idleness or delay.

TO TELL PEOPLE
HOW TO SAVE FOOD
Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture, is Com
ing to Spokane


from the national capitol with the
specific purpose of outlining direct to
the citizens at large the administra-
ton policy and program on food con-
servation and food production, Hon.
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of
agriculture, will be in Spokane, July
%. ...-
Mr.. Vrooman's mission is considered
by the national council of defense one
of the most important of the year. He
is authorized to explain exactly what
the administration expects Of each and
every individual along the lines of food
saving as an economic measure now,
and also to call attention to the great
importance Of preparing the next
years food production.
The message is to be given to the
state of Washington at several meet
ings in Spokane. This will be the
only city in the state which Mr.. Vroo-
man will visit. 1t is his wish that the
meetings be representative Of all
classes and particularly of municipal
and civic organizations in order
that the widest publicity can be
given the program. Urgent in
vitations have been sent to all
parts of the state requesting rep
at the meetings by city
governments, county commissioners,
presidents of commercial organizations
women's clubs, labor unions, oranges,
agricultural colleges, food educators
and county councils Of defense.
1t is not the purpose to interfere
with any similar work already under
way but rather to coordinate the eff
forts of all bodies interested. In some
sections the state council of defense
has found food conservation work well
taken care of under direction of county
agriculturalists,> or municipal organi-
actions. In such cases representatives
will be invited to come to the confer
ence and help organize other commit
tees.
