RESTRICTIONS ON ICE
MAY BE LIFTED SOON

II is thought that the restrictions on
using ice in cold drinks may be lifted
within the next two or three days SAYS
II. {. Morse, country food admnistra-
tor The lifting OF the ban will be
due mainly to the efforts of H. r.
Teasdale in connection with the Santa
Fe, in keeping cars at Wichita to keep
supplies of ice moving from there to
Oklahoma City. In less than a week it
is thought that steady supply from
Wichita can be relied upon and as soon
as possible the restrictions will be lifted.
