BREAKDOWN IN MA
CHINERY AT PLANT
is RESPONSIBLE
ON WAY
Carload Expected From
jackson, Tenn, Today
and Another Monday.

Columbus has been suffering from
the shortage of ice during the past
few days and amounts delivered to
consumers has been considerably cur
tailed, Restaurants, drug stores,
soft drink stands and other estab-
lishments that use lagre quantities of
ice daily have had their supplies prac-
tically cut in half, while some resi-
dents were unable to secure any ice
whatever.
The ice famine was attributed to
a combination of circumstances,
2 break down in the machinery at the
plant Of the Columbus Ice Company
having been the principal cause AS
soon as the machinery broke down,
Mr.. Samuel iaye, president Of the
company inaugurated neffort to Sc
cure supplies from other cities. Ice
oSCito W NC vel oCdINC, iOWSNcl, anu
aa experienced material difficulty in
securing shipments. After trying
several towns in vain, Mr.. Kaye sue
ceeded in securing a small shipment
from West Point and expects a car
load Of ice from Jackson, Tenn, to-
day. This will be followed by an
other shipment from the same place
Monday, and in the meantime an eff
fort is being made to get the local
factories in shape to manufacture
sufficient ice to supply all customers
The machinery at the plant of the Co
lumbus Ice Company is beng repaired
while arrangements are also being
made to resume operations at the
Peoples Ice Company. which has been
closed down for some time past.
In addition to the break down in
machinery Mr.. Kaye has had ashort-
age of labor to contend with. So many
men have been drafted for the army
that it is almost impossible to secure
expert machinists and mechanics,
while even common laborers are ex-
ceedlngly scarce. He is doing every
Shing in his power, however, to supply
ice to his customers, and hopes to
soon be able to furnish all that they
require.

EXCHANGING LIBERTY BONDS
FOR OTHER SECURITIES

1t having been called to the atten
ton of Secretary McAdoo that shysters
and scoundreIs were going about the
country talking so as to shake the
confidence OF many individuals in the
value of their Liberty Bonds and offer
ing to exchange other and in most cas-
es, worthless, securities for the Liberty
Bond, Secretary McAdoo has issued
warning under date of January 25th.
1918, cautioning investors against ex-
changing Liberty Bonds for unknown
securities and urging all Liberty Bond
holders to hold them as permanent In
vestnents. He also asks that mer-
chants and others refrain from accept
ing Liberty Bonds in payment for mer-
chandise or other commodities.

LETTERS FROM LOVER THERE

Mrs E. NJ. Clements again favors
our readers with the translations OF
two messages from "Over There. One
IS written by her sister in Switzerland
and the other by her friend, Mr.. L.
Grol, who is now in Paris and whose
letters recently published in the Jour-
nal gave our readers so complete an
insight into the war as it looks to those
Immediately affected by it. One of
the chief points of value to US in these
TRANSACTIONS is that they are from
personal correspondence and not writ
ten for publication.
Mrs. Clements Sister Writes
Vevey Co, vaud Switzerland, Dec.
IS, 1917-Our Dears: Just received
yours of October 4th. Your child will
not see America before he sees US. The
poor child must be cold. We had very
early winter and terribly hard. We
are all well although it is so difficult
to secure food enough for our needs.
Best love to you all. Theresa.
Mr. Groll Writes
St Dennis, Paris, January 8, 1918
Our Dear Friends, Ferdinand is not
here yet. We wish you a better year
and more full of sweetness and pray
that it will bring the end of this ter
rible war. Now all our hopes are turn
ed towards America, the land of Free
dom, of Generosity and Truthfulness.
When F. comes to us I will receive
him as the son of his brave mother. A
love for you ALL. This from your
devoted friend. L.
(Note.-Mrs. Clements son Ferdinand
is soldier in the American army and
is supposed to be now Somewhere in
France" so that his friends and rela-
tives over there are fondly looking
for him to give him such a welcome
as their warm hearts prompt.)

PATRIOTIC MOTHERS
ASSOCIATION

Shortly ater our soldier boys were
called east on their way to France it
became a custom here in Shoshone
that when letter was received by any
one of the numerous soldier mothers
for her to pass it around to all of the
others. From this custom arose the
more convenient one of passing the
word around and having all the inter
ested mothers collect at some given
home to. hear the letter read. This
suggested an organization and Mrs. B.
F. Peake was elected president, Mrs.
d. w. Yaden, Vice President; Mrs.
Frank Crosse, Secretary and Mrs. E.
NJ. Clements, Treasurer. Regular
meetings were planned, for Tuesday of
each week. Last week the meeting
was held at the home of Mrs. A. Fuller
with 16 in attendance. This week it
met with Mrs Clements with IA in
and next Tuesday it will
meet with Mrs. Victor Johnson.
The members have enlarged the orr
ginal scope and objects of the organl-
cation and they invite all ladies having
sons or relatives in the army, or any
thers directly interested in our local
soldiers, to become members. At each
meeting a light lunch is SERVED and
charge of ten cents Is made for the
lunch. Aside from reading soldiers
letters the club plans to as far as
possible supply our local soldiers with
such articles of comfort as the letters
suggest, combs, rapors, towels. hand
>erchiefs and such other similar articles |
as asked for by the boys at the front.

MISS VANCE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

Last Friday night Miss Bessie Vance
of Boise sang to a very appreciative
audience of Shoshone people. Every
one was charmed by this talented young
singer whose voice and manner made
her most enthusiastically received. Her
program was varied and each number
was rendered with the finish and polish
of real artist.
The oratio from Elijah" and the
aria from Sampson and Delilah" show
ed the richness and excellent quality of
Miss Vance's voice and her interpre-
tive ability was proven beyond doubt
In truth Miss Vance possesses a pure
contralto voice of splendid range and
unusual quality toGether wse her
charming personality makes her work
compare most favorably with the best
talent we are able to obtain.
Miss Vance was ably accompanied
by Miss Tress Mcmahon whose excel
lent work at the piano assisted ma
terially in the success of the evening.
Miss Mcmahon will be heard in the
following numbers of the entertainment
ccurse-the next one is to be given
on Feb %, by Prof C.N. Johnson who
will also be assisted by Miss Ava Nc
Mahon.
The ticket committee of the Red
Cross is entitled to praise for the Wig
orous work done in interesting the
public in these entertainments and the
satisfactory sale of tickets.

FUNERAL OF J. L. BECKETT

The funeral of ]. L. Beckett was held
last Saturday at the Methodist church,
under the auspices of the Masonic or
dar, of which Mr.. Beckett was an active
member. The friends gathered at the
church at half past two. The church
was filled to overfiowing and there were
perhaps as many outside who were un-
able to secure standing room in the
church, as there were persons in the
church. A large number of friends from
Gooding, Jerome and other outside
points were in attendance, which spoke
volumes of the esteem in which Mr..
Beckett was held by his very large
circle of friends.
The services at the church were SIM
pie. appropriate and impressive. After
the services at the church a very large
number of persons accompanied the
remains to tho cemetery where they
were consigned to their maker by the
ceremonies of the Masonic
order. Adieu. It is finished. The re-
cord of an active and useful life cut off
in it's prime, is closed until the judg-
ment day.
