PRICE OF ICE UNCHANGED
UNDER SALES BY WEIGHT
superintendent Of Weights and
Measures Notes Conditions Since
Law Was Enacted.

The new weight and measure law
requiring that ice be sold by weight
has not resulted in any change in the
price of this commodity delivered by
the big companies, according to
George NJ. Roberts. superintendent of
weights and measures.
The larger companies have been
selling books to their customers con-
tanning a stated number of tickets.
each good for or 10 cents worth of
ice.
Corporation Counsel Stephens con-
cluded with Mr.. Roberts that it would
be illegal under the new law to sell
ice tickets that did not show the price
by weight. An agreement was reached
with the ice companies whereby they
have stamped the price by weight on
the covers of the books. The consumer.
under this arrangement, can tell how
many tickets should be torn out to
pay for the number of pounds de-
livered.
The prevailing price in the city
proper, Mr.. Roberts said. is so cents
per hundred pounds and fifteen pounds
for 10 cents. In some of the outlying
suburbs. he said, the price Is 10 cents
per hundred and fourteen pounds for
10 cents.

Coffee

Evangeline is brewing a nox-
ious sort of drink; it might be
laundry bluing, it might be
brindle ink; but coffee she be-
lieves it, this beverage of death
and when her hub receives it he
swears beneath his breath. The
two were lately married, the
bonds of love are strong, the
husband hasn't carried his griev-
ance very long. He hasn't
started brawling, the riot is de-
layed, though often he's recall
ing the coffee mother made.
And inwardly he's quaking, he
knows not what to do; Evange-
line is making a most atrocious
brew. Her coffee tastes like
leather, it gives an awful jolt,
and he is asking whether it's
time for a revolt. He hates to
hurt her feelings, but must he
always drink a brew of carrot
peelings that puts him on the
blink? He hates to spoil the
glamour surrounding loves
young dream, but he has katzen-
TANNER from coffee that's a
scream. 1t can't go on forever,
he'll dump the martyrs crown
some day his wrath will sever
the bonds that hold him down ;
some day, the CALLED possessor
of grievances and care will
wreck costly dresser and
break a lot of chairs. Another
home, once cheerful, all desolate
will be; a young wife, sad and
fearful, will ask for a decree
Though moralists are showing
the customary bunk, no man can
keep on loving where coffee is
SO punk.

PRESIDENT SOON TO ASK
BANKERS TO CONFERENCE
Middle West Financiers to Give
Views on the Nations Various
Money Problems.

Bankers of the middle west and
northwest will probably be invited
within the next week or ten days to
confer here with President Harding
on financial problems, it was learned
at the Treasury
AS a result of the recent meeting
of eastern bankers with the Presi-
dent the view was expressed by
Treasury officials that there would
be no need of government restriction
upon private loans raised here by
foreign governments. The bankers
have agreed, it was stated. to con-
form to the Presidents idea that
when an application is made for a
loan in this country by foreign gov
ernments. the banks will take up the
question of what the money is to be
used for because of the desirability
of having the funds used either to
liquidate existing Indebtedness or
the purchase of products in this
country.

DAuYLETTER
INDEPENDENCE
By DIR. William E. Barton

| by DTs " Ai1Adih 80
DOBERT BURNS gave what ought
~ to be the true reason for mans
idesire to make money:
ITO catch Dame Fortunes tickle
smile,
industrious wait upon her,
And gather gear by every vile
That's justified by honor.
| Not for to hide it in hedge,
Not for train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent.
The glory of being independent
should thrill any man and nerve him
to honest effort. In my boyhood |
used to hear a song about two old
sailors, one of whom was always out
of tobacco, while of the other it was
recorded that
"He had his own tobacco
In his own tobacco box"
The story was told in lines that ran
like this:
Said the one old sailor,
Will you give me chew?'
Said the other old sailor,
IN be hanged if l do.
Had His Own
That song made deep impression
upon my childish mind. had then
and have now no inclination to the
use of tobacco; but it still Gems to
me the expression of fine sense of
independence that it lay be So ID
of one
"He had his own to5ac3o,
In his own tobacco box"
All of us who are good for any,
thing want what corresponds to that.
We want to be able, like Longfel-
lows Village Blacksmith, to llok the
whole world in the face.
But now we behold this paradox,
that in proportion as man gains
the means to become independent,
he becomes dependent. Once he was
able to walk; now he must have a
car. Once he pedaled his own bicycle !:
now he depends upon gasoline and
chauffeurs and all manner of folk.
Once he was thnkful to own a
roof large enough to cover the bed
where at night he slept sleep in
duced by healthful labor; now he has
great house and many servants, and
| is dependent upon every one of them.
Talk About Servants
What do prosperous women talk
about when two Or three of them
are met togeth ~ Ahou- the PER
plexities Of the servan5 situation
But she who does her own .prk is
independent of servants.
A rich man is dependent in pro-
portion to his wealth There is 10
possibility that a man shall ever be-
come independently rich; but man
might be independently poor. Still
better, he might be moderately pros
porous, without losing anything of his
independence through habiss of self
indulgence.
