DO Not Waste the Ice.

Years ago, the entire crop Of ice used
during the summer months by the people
of this country was cut from lakes and
streams and stored in large houses built
especially for the purpose, for summer use.
1t is a fact, however, that the use OF ice
was not as extensive in those days as
it has become since the introduction OF
manufactured ice. Then the ice was
used during the heated season only,
and many persons did not use 1t at all.
Nor were the cutting and storing of ice
conducted entirely by business men or
by companies formed for conducting the
business. Many citizens, especially farm
ers, constructed small storage houses and
cut ice for their own use. Thus, the use
of ice during the summer was gener-
ously extended.
But the manufacture of ice created
great increase in the use of this COM
modify. People began to continue its
use throughout the year, until they have
become so accustomed to the convenience
thus afforded that deprivation would
be seriously felt any time of the year.
The use of ice has become almost an
actual necessity, the year round, to
nearly everybody.
Thus far during this winter nature
has been unusually prodigal in the pro-
duction of ice, all over the country.
There is hardly section, except possibly
in the extreme South, where there are
not generous quantities. There is PROM
Use of an abundant supply of natural ice
for use until the next natural supply
becomes available.
What a pity it would be TO waste this
enormous supply of good ice. Yet
some time ago the intimation was given
out that the prodigal supply would not
result in any material reduction of prices
this wear. 1t was said the ice on the
Hudson river was too thick to be cut;
that it was not possible to secure labor
for its harvesting, and so on In other
words, that such an abundant supply
instead of affording plenty to the people
AT I6tSOildbiG pilttSs HPutA liOt - I'LL
lied to the limit.
But there is an imperative reason, apart
from the question of profit, why as much
as possible of this enormous supply OF
natural ice should he cut and stored for
use. And this imperative reason is the
war. The manufacture Of artificial ice
requires large quantities Of ammonia,
and ammonia Is an article in great de-
mand for the manufacture oi war NUM-
tions. The government will have first
choice in securing ammonia, and it is
very probable the manufacturers of ar
tihcial ice will be able TO secure only
limited supply for their use. All the more
reason why the natural ice should be
availed Of TO the largest extent possible.
To waste this natural ice would mean
much higher prices for the ice supply,
both natural and manufactured Such
q disregard of both public and business
policy should not be thought Of

RINTELEN'S ERRAND OF CRIME.

For the third time in one year Franz
Won Rintelen, an officer of the German
Navy and an intimate Of the Crown
Prince, has been convicted IN New York
of crime, In May last he WAS found
guilty under the Sherman law OF inter
fcrlng with foreign commerce, his oliense
being the incitcment of strikes in muni-
tions factories, Last November he was
convicted of conspiracy for obtaining
fraudulent passport Now he is con-
demned with others for conspiracy to
dynamite n British steamship leaving this
port.
When Rintelen came TO America in
April, 1918, abundantlv supplied with
money, he was upon an errand OF crime
The United States was at peace with al
the world but he proceeded st once to
wreck our industries organize m unncu-
tral Labor Peace Council. encourage the
planting Of bombs in ships and ware
houses, establish trade Ia fraudulent
passports and finally, with the assistance
ol Huerta, the dcpoScd dictator, involve
lis In hostilities with Mexico
As these otfenSes were committed before
We entered the war. il Is interesting to
note the fact, as showing Germany $
utter military lawlesSncSs, that among m!
our statutes designed to deter and punish
criminals not one applied adequately to
Kntelen' case. Today he would be hang
Cd or shot for the misdceds which, COM
pitted in time Of peace, when no nation
even imagined the intamies planned in
Berlin, carry inadequate penalties.
The three sentences imposed upon the
cIlprit aggregate four years and two
months and are cumulative, only nine
months having been served as yet. Thus,
even if no further convictions are had,
this interesting representative Of kultur Is
to experience for some time to come a sec
tion OF the day of Judgment which We
must believe his whole class is ultimately
to face.-New York World.

MINISTER'S GIVE Up USUAL

The common opinion is that this

IS no vacation one This answer
comes from men in all walks and all
religious bodies.
A stiu stronger reason for the I'M
usual summer is given by a few min
listers who seem TO have gone deeper
into the situation. They say that
families have boys in France. or going
there. Hardly a church anyw here but
so reports. Casualties at the front
