High Cost of Ice


The Hollyford Ice Company has in
creased the price of ice to 80 cents a
hundred pounds. High price OF ma
terials and help have made this meas
ure necessary, and as the Hollyford
has monopoly Of the trade the people
must pay or go without ice. Help, also
is very scarce, and that makes delivery
uncertain in some parts of the town.
Some of the employees are quite indie
pendent. A call over the telephone
few days ago to the factory, with the
statement that the family supply was
quite short, received an answer that
special delivery could not be made to
any one family, and the suggestion
was made that the person asking to be
served "buy more ice at time" The
proprietors of the company were prob
ably not responsible for this, but it
will not do to rest on the basis that
with only one ice plant in the neigh
borhood too much independence can
be maintained.
1t is said that some ice dealers this
year refuse to sell less than fifteen cents
worth of ice, delivered, whereas in past
years five or ten cents worth has been
delivered. If there is any such agree
ment or understanding it is quite clear
that many poor families are likely to
suffer during the hot weather soon to
come.
But protection will probably be af- |
forded by the National Food Admins |
tration which has sent to local food |
administrators circular letter setting |
forth that there should be mo profiteer-
ing in ice and especially that the cost
of ice to those elements of the COM
munity which are least able to protect |
themselves should not be increased |
over last year, unless absolute proof
can be given by ice companies as to
necessity" and that any increase over
last years prices will justify investiga-
ton.
From all over the country, last win
ter, Fcame reports that the crop OF
natural ice was unusually plentiful
and Of good quality. Notwithstand-
ing the scarcity and higher prices of
labor, there can be no justification for
increasing retail prices fifty or seventy
five per cent, as is said to have been
done in some cities. Complaint made !
to the local or state food administrators !
will no doubt give relief.
The circular letter referred to SAYS i
that where settlements cannot be !
made, lin cases where there is an at ]
tempt to unreasonably increase prices,
we suggest that you investigate and !
endeavor to arbritrate settlement | !
Should this fail, please SO report, and /
then we are prepared, in the interest of !
reasonable prices, to use all the powers !
we have, including that OF license, in i
any given locality, and to place ice !
handlers in that locality under re-
straint of the food bill.' II
In case Of any unjust exactions it |
would appear that the public may be !
fully protected by reporting them to
the Food Administration, and such re- |
ports should be made at once in order !
that the poor and those in moderate !
shall not suffer or be i
saddled with further burdens. This ]
year there should be plenty of ice, to !
be had at reasonable prices-a fact well
known to dealers in natural Ice, who ]
are able to regulate the prices

An Important Announcement


To enroll 10000 graduate nurses for
the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, for
which the Red Cross is the principal
recruiting agency
To enroll married and retired nurses

hospitals, dIspensaries, visiting nurs-
ing and public health nursing.
To encourage women to become stu
dent nurses in military and civilian
training schools.
To conserve nurses by discouraging
unnecessary private use of those who
remain.
Seeking now Americas bravest wo-
manhood to help win the war, the
American Red Cross to-day begins it's
nationwide campaign to enroll more
than 10000 graduate nurses needed for
army and navy hospitals here and
abroad. In addition, the Red Cross
will endeavor to enroll many nurses
not eligible for military service for

conserve nursing skill by not employ
ing individual nurses unnecessarily
and by utilizing hospitals and visiting
nurses wherever possible.
More than 10000 Red Cross nurses
have been assigned during the first
year of the war by the Red Cross to
our Army and Navy Nurse Corps, the
largest nursing force probably eyer
modified for any army.

public service in local hospitals, dis
pensaries, babysaving stations, visit
ing nursing and public health school
and country nursing.

Fire at Lower Bank

Lower Bank experienced the most
destructive fire, on Thursday, May 23d
that it has ever had. About one o.
clock p. M, the beautiful home of
Capt. Jesse Cavileer was discovered to
be on fire. He and his wife, who is an
invalid, had gone to Egg Harbor City
leaving their niece, Reba Adams, who
was living with them, to keep house
and get the dinner. Miss Reba dis
covered the fire and at once ran across
the road and reported to Capt. George
s. maxwell, who responded at once
telling her to run for more help and in
about three minutes the church bell
and every telephone bell in the village
was ringing the alarm, which brought
nearly every man and woman, as we'll
as the school teacher, Miss Margaret
Cavileer, with the whole school. All
was done that could be done but the
building could not be saved.
The parlor and part of the sitting
room furniture was saved but it was i'm
possible to reach the bedrooms and it
was only by hard work of the bucket
brigade that the outbuildings were
saved. The fire engine from Egg Har-
Dor got there, but too late to do any
good. This house was the pride OF
Lower Bank, a beautiful home both
inside and out. 1t was built at great
expense after the captain gave up 60
ing to sea. He spared no expense to
make it an ideal country home.
Considerable iewelry including Mrs,
Cavileer's gold watch, which the Cap
tain presented to her shortly after they
were married, also their best clothes
and some money were destroyed.
There was partial insuranc of $4,000
on the house, but none on the furni-
ture. The origin of the fire is un
known but is thought to have been 6
defective chimney.

Random Remarks

NEW orders have been issued which
will make a material change in the
position of those who have escaped the
draft by exemption for any cause and
there will be review of all cases and
a thorough investigation into the
claims made when the draftees asked
to be excused from military duty.
The Provost Marshal of the United
States feels satisfied that there are
many who have escaped military duty
on fiimsv excuses. Men who claimed
exemption because of being engaged in
farming, and those who wanted to get
out because of having wives dependent
upon them will be required to stand
the test of another examination.
Especially will this latter requisition
apply to those who married after the
passage of the draft act. There is also
basis for the feeling that there were
many who did not register under the
law requiring those who have recently
reached their majority and they will
be looked after. Some who went into
the army and were discharged because
they had dependent parents or were
needed in farming will possibly be
sent back to camp. That there has
been large army of slackers is beyond
doubt but the day of that class has
passed,

Children'S Day

Children's day exercises were held in
Mount Holly Sunday evening. At the
Methodist church DIR. A. r. w. At
wood was in charge and he had exerted
great efforts to make the settings at
tractive. He was quite successful.
When the exercises began there were
five boys in the uniform of boy scouts,
four of whom had muskets, the other
being Alvin Fisher, bugler of Com
pany B. Two girls dressed in white
with red and blue trimmings, stood at
each end of the line. America" was
sung by the congregation, then came
another hymn entitled "Over the top"
At the end of each of the two first
verses the bugler sounded the assem-
bly," and when the last verse was
sung he sounded retreat" The girls
pulled strings and large American
flag fioated from the ceiling over the
pulpit. The balance of the evening
was devoted to Rotations and singing
by the schools. A pleasing feature of
the service was the admission into the
on probation, of large class
of boys and girls.
