CHILLY PLACE AT
 THE SEWARD GRILL

About the coolest place in town these days is the Seward Grill. Even the north window has large quantity of frost on 1t.
 The coolness and the frost are not the results of natures workings but the handiwork of the staff of mechan- ics Mel Holben has had at work in the establishment for the past few weeks.
 The recently installed freezing plant is in good working order and last even ing the circuit leading to the "cold" display window was turned on and this morning a nice, cooling arch of frost is noticeable Within short time this arch will become a broad band and will be one of the display attractions of the city. The window will be de- voted to the display of seasonable eats and the public is always assured oi right things at the right time.

SALES OF WAR GOODS
HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
DISPOSITION OF HUGE STOCK
DURING THE PAST YEAR
PLEASES AUTHORITIES.
RATE OF RECOVERY IS SMALL
Fifteen Per Gent of Original Cost Is
Turned Back Into Treasury De-
partment. Much IF Stuff Worthless
Except for War Purposes.

One Of the largest business enter
priscs conducted under one manage
mcnt in the United States during the
last year has been the government S
lob Of disposing of surplus war ma
terial. More than 100000 different ar
ticles have been sold for cash through
a nation wide auction sale system.
Sales have been in progress five days
a week all the year, and property that
cost nearly half a billion dollars has
been disposed OF and cash proceeds
turned into The treasury aggregatlng
approximately SS50O00OO.
A summary of the enormous trans
action in which the war department
has been engaged, obtained for the
Office OF Assistant Secretary Vain
wright, Uncle Sans chief salesman,
shows that on Sept. /, 1921, there was
available for sale about S750,O0O,O0O
in surplus war stocks, ranging in
character and size from locomotives
to pms and needles. One year later
there remained on hand OF that amount
property worth $243,000000, and Of
icials now express the hope that IN
Gle Sans shelves will be cleared in
another SlX months.
Recovered IS Per Cent
The rate OF return to the govern
ment varied greatly, On one small lot
of lumber it received 10 per cent Of
what it paid in war times; on a great
mass OF gas masks sold for salvage the
return was one-half of one per cent
of what they cost The average tecov
cry during the year for all classical
tions was about IS per cent.
Examination of conditions imposed
upon the war department in carrying
out its clearance sale shows that the
government faced restrictions never
imposed upon commercial transactions
