 NEWS LETTER
Especial to The Times.)

Newtown, April p - A splendid Easter day was enjoyed in Newtown. A large attendance at all church ser vices and a, notably large number of visitors and home corners for the greatest of feasts. The appearance
 of so many new clothes gave to every

 air and little or no shortage of funds Automobile parties flying through
 town, the many groups of young peo-
 pie taking their first spring walk;
 beautiful weather, the prospect of
 peace; the soldier boys who made a dash for home before going to Boston to parade and later discharge from service; Welcome Home flags flying; all contrasted to greatly with the de- pression of previous years that the lesson of the Resurrection was l brought home with deep reverence and gratitude

Solving The Ice Problem
 NO. 4 COST OF DISTRIBUT-
 ING ICE

The distribution of ice is very sim far to the distribution of other com modities commonly used, such as milk or coal. It differs from these commodities mainly in the circum- stance that when ice is put in the wagon 1t begins to melt, and there is g. substantial shrinkage between the seller and the consumer.
 Like the distribution of coal the distribution of ice is seasonal; little in winter, much in summer; the re verse of coal.
 By reference to the study of con ditions in Minneapolis 1t appears that the average ton cost for distri- outing ice at retail was, for natural ice, including shrinkage, s2.75 a ton, to which was added 43 cents for over heads, making total of $3.12.
 These figures were for 1915, when the movement toward high prices had become well established.
 Bridgeport prices run from 50 cents hundred pounds, where there Is a single delivery of not less than one ton to 80 cents a hundred pounds for ordinary household deliveries.
 In the one case ice is distributed at S1O ton; in the other, at S16 a ton.
 Since the price of ice, and espec- ialIy of manufactured ice, should be in no case in excess of $3 a ton when ready to be loaded into the delivery wogan, it appears that t-.e 50 cent price for delivery in ton lots which would be $10 a ton, includes ST for delivery. Hence a price of so cents 8 hundred, equal to $16 a ton, in cludes $15 for delivery.
 The question therefore is, with re- spect to household deliveries, is S15 ton toO much to charge at retail?

PRINCE MAX STICKS TO WILSON'S
 POLICY OF SELF -DETERNAINAT ATION

(The utterances of Prince Max of Baden have always command ed attention in the Entente countries as well as in his own. During the war he, of aG the German Royalties, was the only one whose peace desires bore the impress of sincerity, or who open ly doubted whether German "weltpolitik'' might not end in disaster: since the revolution he is the one who most unreservedly has accepted the principle of Re publican Government, while his Imperial and Grand DuCal com peers either have fled the wrath to come, or are content to seek salvation in retirement from the public gaze, Prince Max steps forth, fin the hour of his coun- try's need, to plead for uni versal working community in the policy of right" and in the cur rent number of the 'Preussische Jahrbucher" he makes his ap- peal.
 ct will be recalled that 1t was Prince Max who, on October 8, as Imperial Chancellor, approach ed President Wilson with the re- quest to initiate the armistice negotiations. As he then spoke in the name of the German Elm pire, he now claims to be entitled, more than anyone else, to remind the President and the world that the request was made under cer- tain pre-suppositions, and that MT. Wilson, in complying, indi- cated specific obtga tions which would fall. upon the Allies as well as upon Germany.)

ern swing around the junior league.
Clark was signed up as a pitcher
by Speaker in Boston last week after
doing sensational work all season
with the Lewiston, Me-, team of ono

tation of being one of the leagues
most dependable hurlers, his records

ers with the strongest teams.
Played With Lewiston
Clark originally went to Lewis
ton as n first sacker, but when he
get there and it was learned thai
he could pitch, he was given a try

of his games, many of then
through his own hitting.

winners of the West End Twilight
League are scheduled to meet the
Klein Chocolate Company's club on
Island Park, Labor Day afternoon,
September l, and also that a series
of three games will be played with

not be discriminating against any

mote baseball in the city of Harris
burg.
VIII Give Notice
"The picking of an all-star team
from the West End Twilight League
has been very much avoided by
the league officials during the past
part of the season for the same rea-
sons that they are refuting the
statement published In the Patriot.
they knowing full we'll that the pick
ing of an all-star team would cause
dissatisfaction, create discord and
destroy the harmony which has
made the West End Twilight Lea
que a success and should there be
any team picked of star players
from the various clubs in the league
to play any game, same will be done
by the officials and managers of
the individual clubs represented in
said league and the public will be
notified through the various Harris
burg newspapers by the undersign-
ed"

Manager John Breckenridge an
nounced to-day that in playing
games with local teams he would not
deal with any but regular teams and
regular managers. This statement
came as a result of an announce
ment yesterday that a team had
been picked to play against the
Klein team, the players to be Sc
lected from the local league teams.
Manager Breckenridge said:
Il have already arranged with
the officials of both the West End
Twilight League and the Allison
Hill League for games with the
champion winners in each organi-
Zation. If there is to be a selec-
ton of a team from the two leagues
to play the Klein Chocolate Com
pany Team, it will have to be done
by league officials" In addition to
this statement from Manager Brack-
enridge the following is from the
president of the West End League:
West End Speaks
"In reference to the item appear
ing in the Harrisburg Patriot, Mon
day moring, relative to picking of
a ball team of various players in the
West End Twilight Baseball League
to meet and contest any team, prin-
cipally the Klein Chocolate Com
panys team or any club in the Dau-
phin-Perry League, or in fact any
other team, this is to advise that all
players in the West End Twilight
League have signifled their willing
ness to contract themselves to the
various individual teams in said
league and are in no way interested
in this so-called West End Twilight
League all-star team under the man
agement of Cornelius Nelly.

Leonard Outpoints Cline
in All-Star Windup

Philadelphia, Aug. IA Results

night at Philadelphia ball park
We're:
Benny Leonard. of New York.

Johnny Dundee, of New York,
beat Joe yelling, of Chicago, in a
bout that went six torrid rounds.
Charlie White, of Chicago, out

rounds.
Johnny Mealy, of Philadelphia, by
a strong finish outpointed Eddie
Morgan, also of this city, in the sec
ond bout, which went six rounds.
Joe Benjamin. the Frisco light
weight, won five of the six rounds in
the opening bout with AL Thompson,
of Cincinnati.
Benny Leonard again proved him
self the lightweight of the world.
The bout was tame in spots, as
Cline was on the defensive in the
early rounds. In the fifth he SEEM
ed to get some ginger and cut loose.
For the moment he was the aggres-
sor and made Leonard increase his
pace. He had caught the champion
with left hook, which landed too
high to do much damage. 1t made
Leonard vince and his right eye
watered. Beyond that, it did no
damage. 1t did, however, cause
Leonard to let out a link, and he
proceeded to give Cline the best he
had in shop. a series of left jabs
kept sending Cline's head back, and
the latter seemed unable either to
block, parry or avoid the straight
blows which were sent across with
unerring judgment. Cline took these
blows without wincing. He came
back for more, and he got it.
