OUTLOOK GLOOMY
FOR THE SUMMER
SUPPLY OF ICE
Open Winter Holds Up Har-
vest For Coming Warm
Months
HOPE FOR COLD SPELL
No Real Cause For Alarm
Until the Middle of
February
NOT AN OUNCE is CUT
Other States as Bad Off as
Pennsylvania, Say the
Wholesalers
NOT AN OUNCE IS CUT

The outlook for next summers
supply of natural ice for Harrisburg
just now is exceedingly gloomy. I'm
less weather conditions soon change
and the mercury soon drops nearer
the zero point, a natural ice short
age VIII grip the city next summer.
There is always hope, however, that
a sufficient supply of ice will be Sc
cured up until February 10, and
there Is no cause for real discourage
ment until that time, Harvey E. De-
Walt. manager of the United Ice
and Coal Company, believes.
Thus far not a single ounce of ice
has been harvested to relieve and
furnish comfort to Harrisburg's S
sweltering populace next summer,
an unusual thing for this time of
year. Usually a portion of the ice
for the summers use has been cut
before the twentieth of January, al
though most of it is taken from the
rivers and. lakes and housed after
| that time.
Hope to. February 10
February has been the big ice
| month during his thirty years ex-
/.
DeWalt tells. If sufficient supply
has not been cut before February
5 there is real cause for alarm, Mr..
DeWalt adds.
The cold wave that enveloped
Harrisburg several weeks ago had
formed ice on the lakes in Leba-
non, Cumberland and Dauphin coun-
ties, which are the main source of
supply for the city. But in no case
did the thickness of this ice exceed
! five inches and this is too thin for
profitable cutting. dealers affirm.
Conditions throughout the coun-
try-at-large are somewhat similar to
those existing here. Only in q few
of the most northern of the New
| England states and a few of those
bordering on the north section of
the Great Lake region, have suffi-
cient supplies of ice been taken.

Influenza Epidemic Now
Spreads to Moose; Many
Dying in Ontario, Can.
By Associated Press

Fort William, Ont, Jan. ga
Moose, in the Thunder Bay district
are dying of Spanish influenza, ac-
cording to information brought here
by woodsmen and hunters. Their
tales vary in detail but conform in
the assertion that the suffering
moose seem to have the universal
symptoms of the disease. The most
common is extreme weakness.
One bushman told of encounterinG
a bull moose which was in state OF
collapse, bleeding from the nose
and so weak. 1t was unable to run
away. Another man came across the
bodies of two moose, lying almost
side by side, which showed no signs
of wounds or external injuries.
The woodsmen express alarm lest
the epidemic seriously deplete the
game resources of other regions.

War Gardens Will Be
Continued This Year
by Commerce Chamber

The war gardens which were so
profitable and highly successful the
last two years will be continued this
year, the agricultural committee of
the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce decided at its first meeting
to-day. Shirley b. Watts was reap
pointed to take charge as superin-
tendent. Inasmuch as the shortage
of food will exist throughout the year
for months to come, it was felt that
the war gardens would serve q worth

The plowing and fertilizing of the
school gardens will be in charge of
the Chamber of Commerce again.
After the plowing and fertilizing, the
school gardens will be placed under
the supervision of representatives Of
