Babies, Not Beer, Threatened By Ice
Famine at Chester


With the thermometer lowering
about the 100 mark hundreds of
Chester homes were without ice and
the prospects for immediate relief are
rot promising. the ice manufacturers
admit
Unless there is an improvement in
the ice situation, physicians say the
infant mortality i'll this city is sure
to show an alarming increase Hun
areds OF babies are being fed on milk
that is not absolutely sweet, simply
because mothers are unable to get
ice to keep the milk sweet.
Here is the whole trouble and we
are going to see if we cannot remedy
the situation" declared a prominent
business man: Chester has ffty-odd
saloons and dozen bottling estab-
lishments. Ali of these places arc
we'll supplied with ice. The ice is
hauled to them, and they pay no
more for the goods than anybody
else. Why should the saloons get
ice to keep beer cool while little ba-
bies are dying because they cannot be
supplied with fresh milk, due to the
fact that there is no ice available to
keep the milk sweet"
Hundreds of women and children
and scores of men are lined up in
front of the ice plants hour after hour
begging for the privilege of purchas-
ing tiny piece of ice for IS or 20
cents, the same size piece costing a
nickel last summer. These people
are satisfied to haul the ice home if
they can get it, and they never ques-
ton the price.
The ice plant of the Consumers
Manufacturing Company is con-
trolled by the same interests which
| control the hotels, own the brewery
and sell beer to nearly all of the bot
ting establishments in Chester and
vicinity. A number of the hotelmen
have stock in the brewing company.
Chester's other ice manufacturing
plant is less than half the size of the
Consumers and is operated by the
Penn Ice Company. This plant ca
tiers to family trade, but its output is
not adequate to meet the present de-
mand.
The management of the ice plants
blame shortage of labor for the short
age of ice during the present hot
spell, claiming that it is impossible
to get sufficient men to man the
plants.
Mayor w. s. Mcdowell, who has
received hundreds of complaints from
people who have been unable to get
ice, some of these complaints coming
from women who entered pathetic
pleas that something be done in their
behalf and for their babies, called the
managers of the ice plants to his
Office, the conference being attended
by Frederic A. Howard, local food
administrator. The mayor gave the
icemen to understand that something
must be done at once for the relief
of the people.
The mayors attention has been
called number of times to the fact
that there is plenty of ice to keep the
beer cold, but none to keep the ba-
bies' milk sweet.

The humanity of the beer game;

Tor the welfare OF people, especially
the little children and babies; the
friendship which this beer institution
has for the homes of the country;
the great source of love and mercy
and the grand agency for solicitious
care and assistance in times of dis
tress and trouble of the beer barons
stand out in recent days with remark
able clearness and are we'll expressed
III the news coming from Chester,
Pennsylvania. From over the coun-
try where the beer makers and sellers
are still permitted, similar news of
heat distress and ice shortage which
threatened the homes of the COM
munities were forthcoming. But al
ways the saloon and the beer men
seemed to have cool lager on draught
and plenty Of ice to keep up their
game whether the food for the ba-

which to base another booze trench

satisfaction that in taking it while the

was held at the office 124 North First avenue, Wednesday, January 30 at 1880 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The following directors were re- elected: A. II. Greene, Walter Talbot Dr. John Dennett, Jr., C. D. Doris, l.. W. Coggins, J. L. Gust, Chas. A. Stauffer, j. J. Sweeney and J. F. Tracy. P. Corpstein was added to the list. Some of these men have been connected with the Phoenix Building and Loan association and Home Builders for many years.
 The financial report made by Aud itor c. P. Lee, showed a decided im- provement in conditions, as compared with that of one year ago, in all de- partments. At this time the com pany has but one house unsold all contracts are better paid, and there is less delinquent interest.
 The company has paid eight per cent dividends during the year, and has an undivided gain account of over $6,000. Earnings would have paid ten per cent, but the board of directors believes it good business to carry a safe balance until busi- ness conditions become more settled.
 The outlook for 1918 is very prom ising. At the present time the com pany has eight dwellings and two garages under construction, and it now looks as though this will be one of the best years for Home Builders, both in home building and general contracting.
 Home Builders blaming mill during the past year has doubled the busi- ness of any previous year. This mill is now installing a new feature building platforms and bodies for autotrucks, and making trucks from used autos.

both, could not do what one thousand marines did in Queting matters in Halti and San Domingo, nor what they are now doing in preserving order there, without a. declaration of war.
 A few years ago there was a revo- lution in Nicaragua. The lives and property O. Americans were endan- gered. few hundred American ma rines were hurried there and after two or three sharp engagements the revolu- t1on was suppressed.
 The marines bore the brunt at the capture of Vera Cruz. They were with Scott Tn the Mexican war. They did valiant service in the Civil war. They went with Commodore Perry to TripoIj. They were with General Chaffee in the Chinese boxer rebellion. They went to Cuba with General Shafter in 1898 and were of great service in bringing that war to close. They were in the Philippines and the Panama canal zone
 The marines were old enough to be of substantial help to Washington in the Revolutionary war. They can go to any country without danger of inyolv lhg the nation in war to protect Amer ican interests. None of our other armed forces can do that.
 In all of our American wars the marine corps has been an honorable and conspicuous factor. It ought to be better known and better appreciated. At present the marine corps is lim- tied to 30,000 men. Their pay is the same as that of men in the army. It IS one of the most attractive parts of the government service.
 The marine corps is open to enlist ! z years of age. Registered men will be accepted. The local office, of which l am in charge, is at 111a West Wash ington street.

What Prussianism Means

The actions of the German armies in Belgium, in Poland and in northern France have plotted the record of humanity.
 This policy of Prussianism- this deliberately adopted fright fulness"-with it's aftermath of
 blood and tears, is one of the great wrongs against which Amer ica rights today. The evidence in the case is set
 forth in an official book just pub lished by the United States gov | ernment.
 A copy of this book will be sent
 free to any reader of The Arizona
 Republican.
 It is based on the reports of ! American diplomats and relief
 workers, on the protests of high | church authorities, on official Ger man proclamations, on the field l dairieS of German soldiers. | To secure a copy of this free | book, send your name and address

reached celestial heights, overpowering ones emotions. until every nerve and fiber was thrilling with musical glory.
 Richard Czerwonky played the beau- tiful "Ballade and Polonaise' by VieuX- temps, for viotns and played it with such beauty of tone and clearness as one would only expect from the artist that he is. He was greeted with q thunder of applause, and responded with an encore, which was no ether than his own composition, a serena1e well written for the instrument. Be- yond a question, this fine artist will sooner or later blossom out as solo ist," independent of an orchestra. He will be successful: a great success.
 If this body of musicians is not brought to Phoenix next year it will be disgrace never to be effaced, and it should be seen to that there will be no question regarding such an impor- tant event, aiming at nothing less than mental and spiritual uplift

BANKS RESOURCES
 LARGER THAN EVER
(New York IndependenO

The resources of all the banks of this country today are more than 37,000 million dollars. This is an increase since July. 1913, of nearly 12,000 mill lion dollars.
 These are wonderful figures. The i'm agination can hardly conceive them. Yet they are but the totals of our everyday life, our everyday business. Upon the strength and soundness of the banks of the country depend largely our ability to conduct successfully the vast operations upon which trade and com merce and industry all depend.
 Our banks have assisted enormously in the successful negotiation of the first and second Liberty loans: and they

There is one exceedingly important branch of the government service that does not hold as high a place in the eyes and minds of the American people as it's merits and achievefents entitle it to.
 It is the United Marine Corps. that. in fact, is both army and navy, and yet. technically. is neither. It can cooper ate with the navy or naval ships, and it can do some things by itself which neither the army or the navy would be allowed to assist in doing

BOYS HAVE BIG.
Time AT CAMP
Boats, Cook and Camp Fires
Are the Fayorite
Features.

Dick Baughman, camp editor at
Lake Cormorant, the state Y. M. c,
A.. wrote the following letter to C.
G. Carpenter of the local Y. M. c.. A.
from which it is quite evident that
the boys are having the time Of their
lives.
Following is the letter:
There are three, main attractions
at n Y camp, all others are either
fakes or side attractions, and these
three are, the boats, sail boats, motor
boats and row boats, then comes the
cook. and last but not least is the
evening campfire.
The boys have all been treated to
an exciting ride in the sail boa and
each boy agrees that one ride is
enough to last for some time. Not
20 enjoyable but just as exciting is
the motor boat n every night Mr..
Chaser makes from four to five trips
on the lake in order hat all the boys
may enjoy the boat. The row boats
with water and now and then with
the cook.
ION Monday after supper a heavy
gale threatened to wash the sail boat
ashore. n stout-hearted seaman,
Bonnie the cook, volunteered with
leaders CLANCY and Butler to 60 to
the rescue Of the Inflated boat. The

and the white caps reminded one Of
the day before East Grand Forks
went dry. Bonnie. tempted probably
by the white caps and thinking they
were buttermilk, launched his frail
craft into the raging ripples and at
tempted to row to the boat and after
much battling succeeded.
That which the boys enjoy most,
however. outside Of their meals, is
the evening meeting which is usually
held about sunset A large fire is
lit and the boys gather around and
discuss the events Of the day. Thurs
day evening the feature Of the occas-
ion was a sea tale by Bonnie the cook.

election and were treated to an in

AT COMMITTEE LUNCH
Ways and Means for Next
Weeks Intensive Cam
paign Discussed.

That the War Savings Stamp drive,
which will be continued in this city
with renewed effort inc energy next
week. is a great educational factor,
was the assertion made today by Will
liam Jennings Bryan who was invited
to be the guest of honor at a luncheon
given at the Frederick hotel by the
city committee for the campaign.
George A. Bangs. chairman of the
city committee, introduced the former
secretary of state who Immediately,
without any Introductory remarks,
approached the subject of war savings
stamps.
1.-THE one thing that really surprises
me- Mr.. Bryan said. "is that you peo-
pie in this city have been able to
oversubscribe your allotments in all
drives without resorting to house to
house I do think it is a
compliment to your citizens that they
have come to the drive headquarters
merely because they were invited to
come and, apparently, without being

"And, considering everything. 1 am

surprised that you should have fallen
down in the War Savings Stamp
drive, but the only reason seems to be
that in this case you have relied to
much on your headquarters plan. I
firmly convinced that the most eff
fective method is the direct one Of 60
ing to each individual home In the
city. +
II know the government has set a
time limit for the drive. But l wish it
would be extended SO as to afford as
many. people as possible the oppor-
tunity of investing. There is nothing
that more efficaciously teaches our
people the habit Of thrift and
economy than campaigns Of this kind,
and l am certain hat in many in
stances the War Savings Stamp in
vestment will form the basis for fur
her savings on the part Of a large
number of young people. Altogether,
I think we will come out Of this war a
better people and a more economical
people than We were before"
Excellent Investment.
Mr.. Bryan then discussed the A.
nancial issue Of the War Savings
Stamps. saying that in reality there is
no better and sounder investment for
anyone: he also emphasized the fact
that the United States has not learn
ed as extensively as have other ma
tons, to invest in government bonds,
and hoped that n of the results of
the var would be progress in this
particular direction.
I'm the recent Third Liberty Loan
campaign, seventeen million people
bought bonds,' Mr.. Bryan said. II
know something about the popular
vote, and when this number is prac-
tically equal to the number of voters
in the country, you. Immediately see
the significance of the magnificent re-
suit"
In concluding his brief remarks,
Mr.. Bryan expressed the wish that
the present war be the final one in
the history of humanity, and hat it
would serve its purpose as the
creator of a great and universal
brotherhood whose highest ideal and
standard would. be that of service to
fellow men.
Vigorous and long continued ap-
plause greeted the speech of Mr..
Bryan. and then the committee took
up the subject of planning the details
of the campaign which will begin
Monday in an effort to bring the
Grand Forks city subscriptions up to
the allotted quota of $4,000

MAJOR HUNT !
COMING HOME
r aE 4 .. ly--S,t sr@
Returns here Tonight. Direct
From Battlefield in
France.

Mrs. Charles e. Hunt received a
telegram this morning from Major
Hunt in Minneapolis stating that he
would reach Grand Forks tonight. He
comes directly from the front in
France. The telegram mentions ner-
vous strain as the occasion for his re-
turn. In several recent letters he, hint
ed at this condition and the probable
result. &
DR.. Hunt was appointed captain Of
the medical corps Of the North Dako-
IA national guard by Governor Hanna
in December. 1916. His commission
was the last official document signed
by Gov. Hanna
In April, 1917, DIR. Hunt was called
to Fort Lincoln into active service.
and was the medical officer in charge
at Fort Lincoln, with the second bat
talon which was called out in April
and stationed at important places to
guard the bridges.
Major Patterson, head Of the med
ical corps, resigned to establish a field
hospital, and. DIR. Hunt was promoted
by Gov. Frazier to the vacant posi-
ton with the rank Of major, which
was later recognized and confirmed by
the national authorities at Washing
ton.
Major Hunt was the only doctor
who accompanied the First North Da-
kota regiment to Camp Greene at
Charlotte. N. c.. Three weeks after, his
arrival at Camp Greene Major Hunt
was transferred from the medical
corps of the First regiment to be COM
manding officer of the lend field hos
pital Of the 116th sanitary train. and
three weeks later left for Camp Mills
at Long Island, the embarkation
camp. and sailed FOR France Dec. IL.
Z When he arrived in France he was
given the command Of one of the am
bulance companies Of the sanitary
train, in addition to the field hospital.
The hospital staff was made up of two
captains and four ~lieutenants, all doc
tors, and .eighty-three enlisted men.

day. At both places Mr.. Bryan gave
Red Cross talks which were heard
with a great deal of interest. Mr.:
Bartholomew was also a. speaker in
both cities. espousing the Red Cross
cause. s.s 4
A large audience is expected at the
auditorium tonight, not only because
of Mr.. Bryan's International reputa-
ton as an orator, but also because of
the message he is expected to carry
to the people in this city. A number
of farmers nave been coming to the
city during the day in order to be here
for tonight's meeting.
From Grand Forks Mr.. Bryan will
go to Devils Lake and Minot.
