NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

\ is with regret that wr find t necessary to advance the price of ice, but on account of the steady aud nn1lSlal increase tn the cost of prarti ca]lv cvc1vt hing in connection with the manutar- turing and delivery of ice we find it necessary to increase the price per schedule listed below, which, however, will only partially cover the added expense attached thereto.
 In order that you may know the extent of increase in the expense of the most important items, we list them follows:
 Increase in Manufacturing Expense:
 Fuel ......... ..................1 100 to 12Oeo ''f ,oa t .,n,a1 Labor .......... .z............... 1Oo to 2O)%o Machinery, parts and repair. ...... 100 to 59o2o
 Increase in Delivery Expense:
 Feed .......... ........ ........ 100 to 2Oo8o Labor ........ ..-..... ..........oo to ooIo Wagons .,....''.. '.:...'.......': ,oao Harness .......... ................3 30 to l0OHo Wagon Repair. ..................... DO to l3O%o
 Upon Investigating the different systems of delivering ice in the various cities, find that in many instances the ice is not delivered and put in the refrigerator at al but is merely delivered to the porch or back door, and the smaller deliveries made to the curb. While we do not approve of this method, especially the larger deliveries, we do believe that the driver should not be delay ed any longer than absolutely necessary, and a1' engagements should be made that when the driver arrives the ice chamber is ready to receive the ice. By doing this, the driver continue on his route and serve other people that are waiting for their supply.
 In the hot summer months we often have calls from those that should have been served by a certain time, but for some reason another have not been. Upon Investigating these often find that the reason the driver has not been around is that he has been delayed at one places by not being able to put the ice in the refrigerator promptly on arrival or, that he was

 change While the delay at your house ntv be just a triI!e, when this delay together with some sixty delays added together, 1t amounts to several hours in many instances, all of which time someone else is Watlng
 In order to avoid many of the delays due to making change, etc., recommend the use of coupon bools so that the exact change is always at hand. These coupon books will be provided ln $1.00, 42.0O and T500 sizes and can be bought from the driver if order is given him the day before book is needed.
 be compelled to limit our deliveries to once a day. various channels to use as little man power, mo- tive poWcr feed. etc., as possible in order that 1t may this surplus to help win the war against German autoclacy. Tn order to do this, may be compelled to limit our dclvere to once a day. Should this system be put in effect, will put all residents on a schedule to be served in the fore and all markets, etc., be put schedule to be served in the aftrnoon. By doing this each and every party served will receive their ice at practl- cay the same hour each day. and we believe will prove advantageous to everybody. HoWcer be- fore putting this system in effect we will an- no,lncc same through the columns of the local papers.
 It is not only our aim to give our customers the best service at the lowest possible price, but 1t ls also our aim to assist the Government wherever we can and carry out their recommendations as far as possible Will you help us to do this by being ready to receive the ice when our driver arrives and also be ready with either coupons or the exact change to pay for same when there?
 Drivers will have positive instructions to col feet for all ice coupon books at time and place of delivery. Do not ask him to go to some store office and collect for same come back later
 Assuring you that just as soon as conditions justify the price will be reduced accordingly, we are,

ANYTHING But THAT I!

Burgess OF the Ekwanok Country
Club overheard laughable episode
the other day. Back Of the club
house the cadd;es, when not employed,
hold animated putting contests amidst
the excavations they have made for
that purpose. The ground there
abouts is dotted with miniature shell
craters. After playing for some time
IN . very amicable way two Of the
Isunger caddies fell into an argument
which soon waxed vituperative. In
suit after insult heaped upon each
other, and upon their respective faith
ers, mothers, brothers, sisters and
friends was borne with restrained for
titude until at last one said to the
other: BE off with you, you're moth
ing but German spy anyway" Biff,
bang, quick as a fash came the re-
Spouse with doubled fists and battle
was on. Either could put up with
those ordinary insults which would
cost man his life, but to be called
German spy was more than the pat
riotism Of young Vermont could stand.
