ice SHORTAGE
IS RELIEVED BY
COOL WEATHER
Demand Decreases With End Of Hot
Spell and Geneseo Firm Be-
lieEes Crisis is Past,
Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Ill, Sept. I2.-The
shortage of the natural ice harvest
in. this vicinity last winter has been
source of great deal of worry
to the firm of Sommers and Bolle1
local ice dealers, as well as to their
patrons. Only about one-fourth OF
a crop was harvested and that was
light, running not more than five
or six inches in thickness.
From the earliest part of the sea-
son Sommers and Bollen have been
shipping ice into Geneseo, at first
holding in reserve what little they
had in storage to meet any emer-
gencies due to failure of arrival of
shipments from the north. But this
local supply was exhausted. Meet
ing an early season hot spell, this
city has been entirely dependent on
shipments from the north since the
latter part of May.
There have been periods of two
to four days in which no ice was
available to ice consumers of Gen
eseO. This was due to Irregular
ties of the arrival of carload or
Gers because of transportation IN
certainties. Sommers and BoIlen
had booked orders for shipment in
such deliveries as to continually
keep the town supplied.
With somewhat cooler weather
the demand has decreased consider
ably and further shortages are not
anticipated The price for ice IN
Geneseo delivered to household
consumers has been 81 per hun
dred pounds.

MERCER FAIR
Visitors Begin Coming to Town
Already-Weather Indications
Good for Week.
ESPECIAL to The Argus.l

Aledo, Sept. 12.-Everything Is
ready for Mercer county's 68th an
aual fair, which opens tomorrow
and continues. day and night, until
next Saturday night.
The town is already filed with
visitors and exhibitors who came
in early in order to secure a lodging
place for fair week. Nearly every
house in town has been visited by
persons seeking rooms.
The Wood-Holland players, who
will be on the fair ground during
the week, opened up last night with
q band concert and a show. A good
crowd was in attendance. Begin
ming tomorrow night the Fallerans
post of the legion will stage dances
in the Aledo opera house, every
night during the week. Frank B.
Warnock, chairman of the enter
tainment committee, is in charge of
the Affairs. The legion stands on
the fair grounds, of which there
are three, are already doing bust
ness, as are many of the other
booths. One thing remarkable at
the fair this year is the fact that
many of the stands on the grounds
are being run by Mercer county
people. The Aledo scouts will work
with the legion, and will sell soft
drinks and ice cream cones in the
amphitheatre, a privilege which has
never before been allowed.
All day Saturday livestock ex-
hibitors were busy bringing stock
to the grounds. The new ruling
which forbids the holding of stalls
makes it necessary for the stock
men to bring stock early if they
desire a particular stall.
Fair officials stated this morn
ing that only the weather man
could prevent MERGERS 6Sth annual
fair from being one of the best ever
and that they were certain he would
play fair and send only the bes:
of days until after next Saturday.
