The Perth Amboy battalion had the

at camp the local men received valua-
BILE instruction in drilling, bayonet

ICE PRICES co
DOWN TEN CENTS
Famine no Further Away,
Though, as Resources and
Supplies Are Used Up

The ice situation in this city today
is no better than It was during the
latter part of last week and owing to
the necessity of securing supplies
from more distant plants, which has
necessitated higher freight rates. the
two ice companies here have In
creased the price five cents per hun
dred pounds to the stores and chang
ed the rates to private families to
sixty cents per hundred.
The rates to private families up till
this time were fifty cents for ice de-
lIvered on the sidewalk and seventy
cents per hundred placed in the ice
box. The new rate of sixty cents per
hundred is for delivery in ice boxes.
this representing a decrease of ten
cents per hundred to those who have
been receiving ice box deliveries.
The action taken to change the
prices was taken following a CONSUL
tation between the two ice companies
here and County Food Administrator
Metler.
The men who were recruited here
Saturday TO be sent 10 the Bear Creek
Ice Company at Wilkesbarre to assist
in the shipping of ice from that place
were not sent, word having been re-
ceived late Saturday that the COM
pany could not make use of them.
1t is a problem here why the two
local plants are not receiving their
normal supplies II the big Ice con-
Germs have labor enough to load the
cars for shipment The Lake Ho-
patcong Ice Company has discon-
tinued its shipments altogether and
the supply from the Wilkesbarre con-
Germ is far below normal.
One car OF ice was received over
the week end by the Perth Amboy
Coal g. Ice Company and E. j.
Dorsey & Sons received only two cars.
Conditions, instead OF getting better,
are becoming worse every day, the
surplus supply which is stored In the
ice houses here now being quickly de-
pleted.
The work Of digging out the Ice
which is now stored in the Dorsey
ice house Is being continued each day,
this supply helping matters consider
ably although not eufncient 70 meet
the demandS The two cars received
Saturday by the Dorsey Company Will
have 70 last until the next shipment
Ia received, probably tomorrow and
possibly not until Wednesday.
All users OF ice must conserve and
economize 70 the limit until the pres
ent shortage has been tided over or

ice companies warn. Both city Food

oring 70 solve the problem but no sat

concerns which have been supplying
this city.
Both ice companies here have made
arranEements 70 secure small supplies

standing of the organization and the
encampment to come.
All those from the battery who at
tended the school at Sea Girt re-
turned full of enthusiasm and de-
lighted with the course of instruction
at the camp, hard as 1t was in the
heat of last week. They were put
through very stiff work during the
course and not man fell down in the
work allotted him. It was hard in
struction but such instruction as the
fellows needed.
From Lieut.. Col. Bennett, COM
manding officer of the regiment, who
also attended the weeks camp, down
to the corporals, the feeling exists
that the flfteen-day encampment will
mean the first fifteen days OF an in
determinate stay at Sea Girt until the
regiment is taken over into the federal
service. There were numerous re-
ports, rumors and conjectures current
at the camp, and all had as their
chief import, the fact that the regi-

there will be drill session Of the men
enlisted in the battery and the uni
forms and personal equipment will
then be issued to them. The meet

newly acquired ofioes of the battery.
When the regiment moves to camp
