Harvested in Good Quanti-
ty, but Under In
creased Costs
CENTS HIGHER
IN GREENFIELD
Drop of Is Cents a Hundred in Rut-
land, Making Price There Five Cents
Lower Than in Brattleboro-Green-
field Price 20 Cents.

With the beginning of the season for
the use of ice, househoIders have learned
that the price in Brattleboro this year is
$3.50 a thousand pounds, whereas last
year it was S. a thousand. This ia an
increase of five cents a hundred pounds,
and the price for small books of coupons
is no larger in proportion than the price
OF large books, which is the same rule as
was in force last year
The change in the price of ice this
year varies in different localities. Some
companies are charging more and some
less than last years rates In Green
field, Mass, for instance, the rate last
year was 60 cents hundred, or 10 cents
more than in Brattleboro This wear the
price in Greenfield is advanced to 20
cents hundred, or Is cents more than
here.
In Rutland, on the other hand, the
price last year was 6J cents a hundred.
which was ID cents in excess of the price
charged here. This season the Rutland
| price has been reduced IL cents, much to
the qualification of householders, and it
is five cents hundred less than the Brat
tleboro price.
Last season there was a shortage of
ice in Brattleboro, but this year the
storehouses of the Crystal Springs Ice
Co. are filled, about 1000 tons having
been harvested. The harvesting was done
under III. c. L. conditions, however, and
the increased costs all around the com
pany says makes a five-cent advance

s'He seemed to accept the views of
the British admiralty as superior to
ANYTHING that would come from Ameri-

the navy department proposed plans
that proved more effective
'In public speeches and other ways
he gave a maximum of credit to Brit

country was doing.
''IIe coveted British decorations and
seemed to place a higher value on
honors given abroad than on honors
that could be conferred by the Amer

He aspired to become a member OF
the British admiralty and wrote COM

such tender by the king of England.

The portion of Admiral Sims s ce
ebrated letter that shocked the pul

said, was the statement that he ha
been told at the navy department "nC

served them we'll; you left your
friends, betrayed your benefactor,
James X. Vardaman. and next time
when you run these fellows that elect
ed you will know you not, they will
get another man. They think they
''tasted blood" in this Convention; it
had been ten long years since any
man Of their crowd and kind had any
political recognition and they actual
ly now think they can "stand alone;
they believe that sure enough Anti
can fool the people Of the state-take
our advice, keep an eye on those in
this last Convention and watch the
grooming for next Governor and U.
S. Senator-they may flirt with you,
Pat. but you had might as well fold
your tents. In all kindness say this,
i trust l will live to see the day to
pay my regards to you before the peo-
pie of the state along this line.
To all those who participated in this

With malice towards none, with
fair play to all, l want to add that |
sincerely hope that the Grand Old
