Ice Blasted and Mined

Glacier ice from the Alps is deliv-
cred to consumers in Lyons. France.
and several other cities in Europe.
This ice is blasted and mined in the
same manner as stone is quarried and
is preferred to other ice because of
its hardness and lasting qualities.

;ome leader, and enjoy the gymnas-
UNI. Then there are school and social
functions and public meetings held
here, all of which tend to make life
IN Edgerton worth while. Besides
this there are athletic contests be-
tween Edgerton and neighboring
schools. There is the night school, de-
batting classes, musical clubs, etc.
These all make for expenses in
little way, and Edgerton has always
thought them worth the money.
The greatest single expense of the
schools is of course salaries. In the
past this is practically all the people
of Edgerton have paid for. mean
by that: that all other expenses of
the school practically have been born
by moneys secured from sources 9TH
er than taxes upon the people of this
district. The increases found neces-
sary for the teaching force, and the
salaries required to pay the addition
al teachers demanded of us consti-
tutes by far the greater part of our
requirements.
Another item which we under
estimated the past year was fuel. In
spite of the mild winter, the high
freight rates, and the unusual cost
of coal brought our fuel bill to
approximately $1,000, or in round
numbers $1,000 more than the
appropriation.
Facing these things the thoughtful
voter here tonight can understand
that school board member has not
had much of snap of his office the
past year.
The Treasurer, Mr.. G. w. Doty,
has already shown you how much
money we have spent. In the differ
ent departments of expenditure the
money has been applied as follows:

In her second article Mrs. Olivia

she recommended the department,
and Mrs. s. A. McCIees of New
York became superintendent. She
was succeeded in 1898 by Mrs.
Ella NJ. Thatcher of New Jersey.
Much heroic work was done III the
pioDeer days. Mrs. McClees per-
sonally visited many ships, held
meetin9s on board and secured
libraries for the men. She also
secured the teaching of scientific
temperance in the military school
at West Point aud naval school at

Ryan, chairman of the Americanism Commission of the American Legion, was indorsed at the first annual state convention of the Indiana Department of the Legion's Auxiliary. The prin- cipal speakers at the convention were Colonel L. R. Gignilliat, state com mander, and Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the Legion.
 
 The conduct of members of the Harry w. Congdon Post of the Amer ican Legion at Bridgeport, Conn.,, is so exemplary that it has enrolled four clergymen. The post rolls include practically every profession and trade, but lawyers and doctors are the most numerous. The present commander is lawyer, the two past commanders are lawyer and physician and the medical profession alos claims three members of the executive committee.

 F. w. Galbraith jr., National Con- mander of the American Legion, has just returned from an inspection of Legion posts in number of Illinois cities. The itinerary included Chi cago, Springfield, Decatur, Aurora, Rockford and Mooseheart. At Spring field, the National Commander was greeted by Governor Len Small. A pilgrimage was made to Lincoln's tomb where Colonel Galbraith placed a wreath. The National Commander also inspected several Illinois hospi- tals which lodge veterans of the World War. He was accompanied on the trip by William R. McCauley, De- partment Commander ,and William 2. Setliffe, Department Adjutant.
 The state legislative committee, ot the Missouri Department of the American Legion will present to the state legislature bills (which provide for the following: A $10 bonus for every month of service of Missouri veterans; the designation of NQvem- Der Ii as a legal holiday; the legal izing of boxing contests; that eX-ser- vice men shall have preference in pub lie employment and reappropriatlon of the soldiers and sailors memorial fund.

Adjutants and treasurers of ten thousand post of the American Legion are busy collecting post, department and national dues for the year, 1921. Reports indicate that the button membership, those who are members of the Legion but who are behind in their dues, will be substantially de- creased. The clarification of the Legion's position in regard to Organ ized Labor and political activity to- gether with the vigorous fight it has made for the sick and disabled war veterans are believed to have encour- aged payment of dues and to have gained many thousands of new mem- bers.
 Dr. Fl. Grant Thorburn, of New York, and Dr.. H. Kennon Durham, of Cincinatti, have been appointed mem bers of the American Legion Commit tee on disqualification. Dr. Thorburn is member of the faculty of the School of Medicine of Columbia Uni versity and examining physician of the New York Tuberculosis Associa- tion. Dr. Durham is president of the Ohio State Tuberculosis Association and a professor at the University of Cincinnati. He is an international authority in the field of roentgenol- ogy.
 When members of the Dubois Coun- ty, Ind, board of commissioners heard complaints of breaches of etiquette in care of the county flag, they plac- ed it's guardianship in the hands of Dubois County Post of the American Legion at Jasper, the county seat.
 
 A. H. Vernon, commander of the Minnesota department of the Amer ican Legion has taken steps~to pre- vent the discounting of government certificates issued to disabled soldiers. He has asked the Federal Board for Vocational Education to arrange with federal reserve banks or post offices to cash the certificates without dis count. If this is done, disabled SOL diers will be saved many hundreds of dollars.
 Professional dancing masters will instruct Nebraska Legionnaires in ball room tactics, according to infor- nation received from Department Headquarters. The movement devel- oped as a result of the success of a class conducted by a woman member of the executive committee of the Lincoln post.
 Exemption of veterans from paying poll taxes was refused indorsement by Vermont American Legion post commanders and adjutants and mem- bers of the state executive committee at a recent conference which was at tended by F. w. Galbraith, jr, Ma tional Commander of the Legion. A bill which was introduced in the state legislature did not meet with the Legion's approval because the ex-ser- vice men held that it was their duty to pay taxes the same as any other body of citizens.
