The refrigerator for the apartment
kitchen should have a larger space
for edibles than for ice. In the city
one can get ice daily and, as one has
no garden, ones vegetables and dairy

freshly each day.
In the country, however, the exact
opposite is true. Ice can not always
be obtained daily and the ice com

be large enough to hold two-days
or even a three days supply of ice,
whereas, because of the abundance OF
fresh foods at hand, the compartment

BY frequent reference to 1t, noted
by newspaper readers, doubtless the
meaning Of that cabalistic symbol

item in the Montreal La Patrie and is
thus translated

members of the press gallery in tho
dominion parliament. For them this
number means the same as the words
which the great departed pronounced
some days after being stricken by his
malady: 1T Is ended" (C'est fini.)
The origin Of this conventional sym
Dol has been lost In the traditions OF
journalism. but here is what the older
operators declare 1t was:

Des Laos Family Had Narrow Escape
When Horses Fell Into Well

Cliff Weatherwax and family had
very narrow escape while returning
to their home south of Des Laos from
visit to that village one night re-
Gently. They were driving across
a field on the Tracy farm with a sled
when their team fell into a 26-foot
open well. One Of the horses was
killed, but the. other was gotten out
little the worse for it's experience.
The horses struck the well and fell
partially in but managed to plunge
out. They stopped to breathe when
one of the horses lost it's footing and
fell into the we'll, pulling the other
with it. Mr.. Weatherwax cut the
tugs hoping to give the horses bet
ter chance to save themselves. Word
was sent to Des Laos and some young
men attending a dance, went over to
the farm and succeeded in pulling out
one of the horses with a block end
tackle.
