EXPLAIN CAUSE
ice SHORTAGE
Investigation Shows That Product
Is Being Used in Connection
With Fruit Shipment
CAUTION PEOPLE TO SAVE
Food Administrator Has No Power
10 Lower Profits Under
Those Prior to War.

In reference to statements made
as to the shortage OF ice it is an
nounced by persons connected with
the local food administration that
this condition is due TO one OF the
largest packers here selling much
OF the supply for the refrigerating
Of fruit cars sent through here over
the Rock Island ~ines.
People Of RON Island are eau
toned TO save ice in all possible
ways. Investigation as to Sne
prices charged for ice here has been
conducted by the federal price in
terpTetative committee represented
in Rock Island by 4. F, Miller, VIII
liam Dart and ". H. Thoms COun-
II representative are also in Mo-
line and East Moline. These men
We're accepted by county food ad-
illustrators and their appoint
ments were approved by the state
food administration
In an effort to relieve the situa-
ton in reference to charges made,
the ice companies have agreed -
sell their product at the ice houses
for 50 per thousand providing the
purchaser removes the ice.
II is announced from food admin
istraion sources that the admins
tratiOn has not ordinarily announC-
ed in the term Of figures any uni
form margin Of advance over de-
livery cost or purchase price that
the distributor shall be entitled to
obtain on any commodity.
Statement is made that 1t is not
considered prOf1teeTing by the food
administration for profits to be
maintained on the basis Of the year
previous TO the declaration of war
The local food administration has
no power to lower prices which will
cause profits to be diminished I'M
der those previous to the war decla-
ration
Il is stated that while the local
ice companies have raised the price
on ice this increase does not add C
the profits as higher wages are
paid and the cost of upkeep OF
equipment is more.
II is claimed that the majority OF
refrigerator cars used for the trans
porting Of fruit is low being sent
over the Rock Island lines and this
necessitates a larger amount Of the
local ice supply to be used for icing
these cars

The sliami-Sunrise company has
opened up n rich lead prospect in
36-29-23 east of Quapaw. The lease
consists of 20 acres and the drilling

character OF the ground, its being ar
most impossible to get a hole into

in only two was it possible to secure
cuttings at all The company want
ed no take chance and It was de-
cidod to sink shaft on the site Of
the best hole and see what such a
formation looked like. The company
considered itself fortunate in this
rather expensive form of taking "A

will run. 1t is said, II per cent lead
