Ice Bill Million
 Dollars a Day

The ''ice bill'' of the people of the United States approximates a million dollars a day. While it is not practi- cable to work it out down to the last penny, says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, the bare figures of the latest United States Census coupled with other we'll known facts make it apparent that the ice bills of the country approximate $365, 100000 a year.
 The latest census figures, says the Trade Record. show the factory value of the ice produced by the ice manu- States in 1919 at 137 million dollars, and of ice produced by other indus tries 121a million dollars, making a total, stated in round terms, of about that. although we have turned our backs on Jack Frost in our calls for his natural production of ice on the rivers and lakes, the total still one-fourth as much as that of the marketed ice produced by artificial methods, or approximately 37 F mil- lion dollars, bringing the grand total of marketable ice at the place of pro duction up to s187,0OO,0 900 in 1919, | the latest year for which figures are available. Accepting again the estt-
 mate of experts that the final con- sumer' pays at least double the price
 at the place of production, the total
 
 therefore aggregate about, $375, CO., 900 per annum. Even this big total, adds the Trade Record, does not include the enormous quantities of ice made by certain great manufacturing estab- lishments solely for their own use and
 not placed upon the markets of the
 country, or included in the census records.
 The production of ice by artificial
 methods began in New Orleans in the closing year of the Civil War, and by 1870 the number of ice factories ir the country could be counted on the fingers of one hand. By 1880 the
 number had increased to 37, in 1896 222, in 1900. ITS, in 1910 2,004, ana in 1920 2,S67. That the 1ndustr. proved an attractive one to the capi
 talists of the cuontry is evidenced b5
 the fact that the total capital invested in the ice factories of the United
 States advanced. according to census reports. from about $1.0o0,000 in 1880 to $3S,0OO,O0O in 1900, and $270.0o,- | 900 in 1919, the year covered by the latest census reports.

Flying Ambulance Is Urged For
 Remote Sick

Sydney. N. S. w., Sept. 4-One of the many hardsl1ips that beset "out- back settDers'' in Australia-the in- ability of persons to obtain prompt and effective medical care-would be eliminated by carrying out a pro- posa1 by the Queensland Branch of the Aero club to establish a flying ambulance for the remote western part of that state.
 The efforts of persons who work in the interests of the isolated set tiers are hanrpered greatly by bad roads and in some districts by the absence of roads. An aerial an1bu- lance would overcome this obstacle. Atm ospheric con diti ons are said to be favorable and it is planned to make Charlevi11e the terminus of the west ern railway, the center of the serial ambulance territory. Most of the stations beyond Chantleville are link ed with the telephone system. It has been suggeste eds that every 1and- holder In the area prepare a landing field. The estimated cost of the pIan is three thousand pounds annually. The Automobile club and the Arnbu- lance Transport Brigade are CO., op- erating with the Aero Club in the plan

Posse Searching for Aged Woman Missing
 from Mapping Home

WaDp1ng, 4-A pOSSS oA searching a swamp on the $50 acre farm of Walter Green of the Bellzebub Road here for Mrs. Emma B. Blssell, 84, mother of Green, who has been missing since Monday morning. The disappearance of Mrs. Bissell, during the absence of her son, by the first of her two husbands, has uncovered 9 most peculiar condition of affairs. Local Boy Scouts were mobtlized yes terday afternoon to aid in the search for the missing woman and the au- thorities have sent to Rockville for a pair of b1oodhounds.
 Mrs. Bissell, according to the neighbors, first went into the swamp Sunday apparently in search of some cows which had broken a fence and wandered out of a pasture. She IS said to have been inspired by fear that her son would punish her in some cows. She returned home and disap- peared again Monday morning. Green. according to the neighbors is away at some shore resort, the loca- ton of which could not be learned.
 The posse which has been search ing for Mrs. Bisse1 since yesterday, found one of her shoes hanging on a cane which had been left stlcklng up in the swamp mud. But therg IS no other trace of the woman; The swamp is of such nature that one member of the posse yesterday went through it entirely naked, fearing to wear clothing, which might 1mpeoe his progress.
 At the home on the farm the room occupied by the aged woman is de- clared by those who have seen 1t to be a veritab1e hove1, while the son apparently occupied more habitable quarters In the woman's room was found 8 dress which she had appar- ently taken off after a first trip into the swamp on Sunday. In one pocket were some crushed berries, which she had apparently picked. She was seen about the house Monday morning by a neiRhbor who was passing on the way to work. There is no trace of

Every citizen should do his part
toward creation Of q public senti-
ment which will make utterly dis
reputable the bootlegger," exh0rt-
ed Bishop Thomas Nicholson, pre-
siding at the central Illinois Meth
odist conference, in statement to
The Argus today. Bishop Nichol-
son is president Of the Anti1Saloon
league of America
However loudly he may claim
Responsibility, the bo0tlegger is dis
regarding the law Of the land
against liquor traffic and II there
is one thing above another which
is the duty OF the American citi-
zenship at this hour 1t is the strong
est law enforcement" he declared.
Licensed or unlicensed, legal or
illegal, the liquor business in this
country has always been lawiess
and always will be until it is ex-
terminated forever. 1t Is outlawed
today chiefly because it always and
invariably broke all laws by which
decent public sentiment sought to
keep 1t respectable.
1T obeyed only when it was
forced to obey, and it is matter
OF common knowledge that in
many places it did not hesitate to
corrupt whatever public officials 1t
could reach when it might thereby
disobey with reasonable impunity.
Men Of that character, however,
loudly they claim responsibility,
have no standing as pleaders for
privilege. 1t is the duty of every
right-minded citizen to do all that
he can to eradicate forever this
persistent lawbreaking business
and there is nothing more ridicu-
lous and wicked than its plea that
1t should be restored because it
proposes to so persistently defy the
law that the will of the people thus
registered against it can never be
enforced"
