Tampa ice dealers all decided about
the same time to increase the price OF
ice to $40 per ton, and this raise IN
price resulted in an investigation by
Solicitor Chancey and the Indictment
of several large ice dealers on charg-
es of combining in restraint of trade.
A new ice schedule has been adopt
ed for Tampa to take effect August
first, as follows:
Icing cars, 81 per ton. Load lots
delivered by truck or wagon, SIS per
ton.
Commercial, delivered, 800 to 1000
pounds, Sc per ton.
Light commercial, delivered, 100 to
800 pounds per delivery, ST per ton.
Domestic, delivered Coupon only,
4Oc per 100 pounds; $50 pounds for
Sl00.
Cash ice, delivered, ten pounds for
5 cents.
Platform sales leash and carry),
over 100 pounds, 81 less than above.
Platform sales leash and carry),
less than 100 pounds: 100 pounds, 30
cents; fifty pounds, Is cents; fifteen
pounds, cents.
All stations to be opened for cash
sales of ice at regular hours.
We do not know what it costs to
produce ice with modern up-to-date
equipment, but if it can be produced
and sold for less in Tampa surely it
can be in Tarpon Springs.
A little cooperation on the part of
our citizens may induce the Southern
Utilities company to modernize its
plant and reduce the cost of manufac-
ture, thus reducing the cost to the
consumer. We feel sure this could be
done if there was some guarantee of
a steady market for larger produc-
ton of ice.
Mr.. G. A. Louden, we feel sure, will
cooperate with the citizens in an at
tempt to interest his company in mod
ernizing and increasing the capacity
OF the present plant.

SENSIBLE BUYING Is ADVISED BY DESIGNERS OF
 FASHION,

Sensible buying is advised by Eastern fashion designers and lead, CTS this season. The added cost of clothes, the request of the govern ment that we live on our old clothes and the general }conservativeness for this advice from those who are settings the standards in the mar kets of the world.
 How women are buying this year, or how they should buy, is told in the following article:
 One expected the level of prices to be higher, and the outstanding fact that interests the sellers of clothes is that women deliberately ask more often for a high priced gown than ever before and pay the price with seeming willingness. Why The act is not explained by the word "extravagance." It is level-headed conservation.
 It does not take a womn with 5hrewdness to know that cheap ma terials are not lasting. Nobody ever bought them with the belief that they would carry one with satis faction throughout the season. They were bought by women who pre- ferred to spread a small income over many cheap costumes; women and America is filled with them-who  day or every two months rather than be compelled to wear the same thing throughout the weeks of a settled jeason. It is their form of getting stimulation.
 So even though the American wo man may not wish to wear one good costume throughout the season, hel

Clark, chairman of the Terri torial Council of Defense, from the ington, D. C., and has been trans mitted by MT. Clark to the various councils throughout the Territory:
 War industries board requests us to advise you that the shoe program was, by agreement with trade, limit ed to the period of direct war re quirements. At the signing of the armistice, the board felt obligated tO the trade to call them in conference and they have recommended that the pledge and window card system stamping shoes, classification and price limitations be dropped, but that the general conservation program that is voluntary reduction by manu lecturers through the spring season of 1919. Therefore the distribution of the pledge forms and window cards by the country councils, pur suant to our general letter dated November 1st, automatically becomes unnecessary. Please so advise coun try councils and transmit to them thanks of boot and shoe section of the war industries board for what they have already done"

INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED IN
 SOPH|A'S WRECK
People Will Be Asked to Attend and Give VoIun- tary Information About
 Conditions of Wreck.

An investigation into the loss of the Princess Sophia will be held, accord ing to the following item in the Vancouver Province:
 Ottawa has issued orders to Cap tain J. D. Macpherson to hold an in vestigation into the loss of the Prin- cess Sophia No further instructions were given. The inquiry can not be held in American territory and those aboard vessels standing by the So- phia can not be forced to attend or give evidence. They will be asked to attend and volunteer such facts as they know"
 The same issue of the Vancouver paper contained the pictures and fol lowing accounts of Lionel Olsen and Frank Burke, chums, who were lost on the Princess Sophia:
 Frank ("Binks') Burke of 4S1 Sev- enteenth avenue west. who was buried this week, was another Prov ince boy lost when the Princess Sophia went down. He was carrier for this newspaper for over six years. Like his chum, Lionel Olson, he was a student at King Edward High School and a member of the Blue Bird hockey team. Young Burke was well known at the ice rink and around English Bay When Frank was buried the pail bearers were Douglas Patterson. Lyle Barr, Dick Muling, Percy Choate, Walter Patrick and Andy Leversage.
 Lionel Olson, aged 15, victim of the recent shipping disaster. was among the brightest and best of Vancouver's youth. Previous to his trip on the Sophia he was a student at the Dawson School He was an active member of the local "Y", and was a splendid all-round athlete. During the summer vacation he was employed at the Lyall Shipyard, where he gained many friends who extend their greatest sympathy to his mother in her great bereavement.
 He was Province carrier for over five years and was in his first year at the King Edward High school. He was a member of the Blue Bird Hockey team, and was also a promis-

It was the war and the attraction of high wages and the chance to be of more help outside that brought most of them out. Now that peace has come they are anx- ious to get back to the old dig gings.

 Neither Rosa nor the two negroes had any appetite-their hunger had long since passed the point at which, they were conscious of it-and O'Reflly was compelled to force them to eat. When he had given them all that he dared he offered what food was left to Jacket.
 The boy moistened his lips and his l fingers twitched but he shook his head.
 'Oh, Pm not so hungry" he declared, indifferently. "I have a friend in the market place; I will go down there and steal fish from him."
 O'Reily patted him on the shoulder, saying: You are n good kid, and yols understand, don't you? These sick l people need more food than we eaB buy for them, so we will have to draw our belts tight"

CHAPTER xviiF-
The Haunted Garden.

Rosa Varona did not die. On ffsg contrary, under her lovers care she. made so amazingly swift q recovery that improvement was visible syOiH hour to hour; she rallied like wiltea flower under refreshing rain. It was OReilly's presence as much as ths nourishing diet provided by his money which effected this marvel. although the certainty that Esteban was alive and safe put added force into her fie- termination to live. Rosa found hopa springing up in her breast and oDe ksss.g she caught herself laughing. Tire nssir-- vel of it was unbelievable. OReilly was sitting beside her bed of leayes, at the time; impulsiyely she pressed his hands to her lips.
 Such happiness as mine belongs in heaven" she managed to tell him. Sometimes it frightens me. With goss by my side this prison is paradise and l want for nothing. War, suffer ing. dstress-I can't imagine they longer exist"
 Nevertheless, they do. and Mafars- gas is anything but a paradise" saids he. "We must set about quickly to get out of it."
 Escape, you mean? But that is im- possible. Asensio can tell you ais about that. The Spanlards used to is- sue passes for the men to go outside the lines in search of food. Ii was just trick They never came hack-- all of them were killed. Everyone knows better than to try now."
 Nevertheless, we can't stay here much longer" In answer to the girls puzzled inquiry he explained: 'My money is gone-all but few cents This is the last of our food and there is no chance of getting more. Jacket has some mysterious source of supply and he manages to bring in something every now and then but there are five of us to feed. and he can't furnish more than enough for himself. No, we must make move at once. while we have the strength"
 Rosa had not asked the S0urcS whence came the blessed food which was bringing the life blood back into her body, and although that food was not much-a little meal, plantaln, an occasional scrap of meat or fish-it hna never occurred to her that the supply might be limited. She met the prob lem bravely, however.

 The girl was not wholly unconscious it seemed. for she stirred and murmured faintly: "Those wagons Don't let them put me in there with the other dead. They pile the bodies high" A weak shudder convulsed her.
 O'Reilly bent lower, and in a strong. determined voice cried: You are not going to die. have money for food. Rouse yourself, Rosa. rouse yourself" "She prayed for you every night" the negress volunteered. Such faith Such trust She never doubted that you would come and find her. Some times she cried. but that was because of her brother. Esteban, you know, is dead. Yes, dead, like all the rest"
 'Esteban is not dead" O'Reilly as- serted. ''He is alive. Rosa, do you hear that? Esteban is alive and we'll. I left him with Gomez in the Orient. l have come to take you to him?"
 
 ing us." Evangelina wagged her head wisely. "We know better than that" T tell you he is alive" O'Reilly in- sisted. He heard Jacket calling to him at that moment so he hallooed to the boy; then when the latter had arrived, he explained briefly, without allowing Jacket time in which to express his amaZement:
 Our search is over; we have found them. But they won't believe that Esteban is alive. Tell them the truth" Yes, he is alive. We found him rotting in a prison and we rescued him." Jacket corroborated. He stared curiously at the recuml ent fifigure on the bench, then at O'Reily. He puck cred his lips and gave vent to low whistle of amazement "So- This is your pretty one, eh? r.

 "Fm not poor, Pm rich. See!" He jingled the coins in his pocket. "That's money; money for you, sweetheart. It will buy you food and medicine it will make yeu strong again. Rosa, dear, have looked for you so long, so long-' His voice broke wretchedly and he bowed his head. TT was afraid"
 "I waited as long as had strength to wait" she told him. "It is too bad you came so late"
 Once again she lapsed into the leth- argy of utter weakness, whereupon he fell to stroking her hands, calling upon her to come back to him. He was be- | side himself now; a terrible feeling of | impotence and despair overcame him flooring someone speak, he raised his eyes and discovered at his side that figure of want which he had seen dig ging on the slope below. It was Evan. gelina. The negress was little more than skin and bones, her eyes were bleared and yellow and sunken, her face had grown apelike, but he rec ognized her and she him.
