Apparatus For Making lee
Every farmer can have his own Ice
plant at the cost of from $13 to 820,
if he will use the apparatus described
in a new bulletin just issued by D. J. D
Walters, professor of architecture in
the Kansas Agriculture College.
The Ice plant Is made of galvanised
Iron and consists of a donble tank with
an inner tank about 10 toet long, 2
feet wide, and 12 Inches deep. The
top of the tank should be slightly
wider than the bottom. The iniler
tenk should be divided into six com'
payments by means of galvanized
Iron strips.
This double tank should be placed
near'an outdoor pump where the com
partments can be easily filled with
water. Being exposed on all sides,
the water will freese In from one to
three hours. A bucket full of hot
water poured Into the space between
the two links will loosen the cakes
so that they may be removed. One
freezing will give five cakes of ice
each weighing 120 pounds. Fourteen
freezings will yield four tons of pure
ice, or enough to last an average
family for a year. The cakes of Ice
can be packed away In sawdust in the
cellar as they are frozen.

Mr. Spencer is one of the County's
most substantial and greatest esteem

From the report R seems he aros&

able to speak and with a bad looking
Injury on the right temple. The
physician was called and from ex

Appalling Magnitude of Destruction
Bj Earthquake.
Rome, Jan. 19.?(9:30 p. m.)?
Ambassador Page, who has visited
the earthquake district, said he was
?truck by the desperate conditions
everywhere and the appaling mag
nitude of the destruction. While
practically the entire population, he
said, is living In the open air, he con
siders the relief organization is now
veVy efficient, as soldiers have reach
ed ?very devastated place.
The first need now, the ambassador
sard, was not only dally foo'd but an
assurance of regular supplies and
shelter throughout the district as the
houses even when not destroyed are
so shaken that the people have left
them in terror.
With all that promptly forthcom
ing, Mr.' Page said, it would then be
necessary through re-organization of
labor to set the wheels of life mov
ing again. Just now the people are
paralyzed, he said, even in their men
tal facuiitles, from their terrible ex
perience.

Running Story of the Events.
Yarmouth, Jan. 20.?(via London,
6:30 a. m.)?Careful Inquiries about
last night's aerial raid show public
buildings and the railways escaped
damage, which 1b almost wholly con
fined to private houses and shops.
So tar as is known only two per
sons. a man and a woman, were
killed. Most of the Inhabitants were
Indoors when the raid occurred.
Fragments of mental, supposed to
have been thrown by bombs, are be
lng found In all directions.
Took Refuge in Their Basements
The attack was quickly over and
no fires broke out. The first Impulse
of the townspeople was to rush out
of doors but many quickly returned
to their homes and took refuge in the
basements. Troops were turned out
to assist the -police in the search for
wounded.
Another aircraft appeared here soon
after midnight but dropped no bombs.
"The people stood the raid very
well," Said Yarmouth's chief consta
ble. "About 400 special constables
were called out and arrived with the
most promptitude. All Red Cross and
hospital arrangements proved per
fect. All lights were extinguished
and public performances at the
theatres and mnsfc nails were aban
doned. The people went home and the
town was without light until morn
ing.' ,
Smashing of Windows In Honses and
Shops.
Tie first air raid passed along the
sea front and dropped the first into
Norfolk Square Garden close by the
beach and the Brittanla Pier. That
did no damage . The raider then
dropped several bombs near St
Peter's road, the mam thoroughfare
leading to the parade ground. There
the greatest damage was done, es
pecially in the smashing of windows
In houses and shops. The bombs
from all accounts, were dropped In
rapid succession.
One bomb was dropped near the fish
market apparently with the lntenti6n
of destroying any ships anchored near

The statement follows:

contact with the enemy, had a series
pf collisions of secondary impor

"Fighting of a more grave char
acter though having the nature of
separate actions, took place in the
village of Konopkl, where the heavy
artllery with which the enemy bom
[ barded us was silence by the Are
of our baterles, and near Bodzannow
and Bejounla, opposite which the
enemy occupied well-organized de
fensive positions. Heavy fighting
also occurred near Dobrzyn, where
an offensive attempt of the?Germans

Our National Corse.
Every nation has its curse.
Ours is the overworked credit
system as applied to the ordinary ex
penditures of llfe,-and especially to
the table. *
If every business knd professional
man in tbls community were asked
as to whether he would rather sell
for cash at a considerable discount
In price; or continue the credit system
we believe the vote would be unani
mous in favor of cash and reduced
profits.
The credit system is a nuisance. Its
curse, if you please.
Wherever the credit Bystem pre
vails, there you will find the usual
number of slow-pays and genuine
deadbeats.
The merchant pays tor his goods,
and in turn some one must pay him.
He cannot live on wind, hope or ex
pectations. It Is a case of "no cash,
nb live."
Every merchant who extends credit
gets taken m by the deadheads. He
loses not only his -profits, but the
cost of his goods as well.
And what then does he do? Just
what you or any otlier sensible per
son would do?raise the price suffi
ciently on his wares to protect hfm
against such loses. And the man who
pays his own bills also pays the bills
of the dead beat..
If a person can pay at the end of
every thirty days it would require but
little retrenchment and sacrifice to
enable him to reach the point where
he can pay cash as he goes.
When the merchant carries your
account he virtually lends you his
money, and this should' not ge. The
bank is the proper place for such
transactions.
By paying cash for his goods the
dealer can get a substantial discount
from the wholesaler, and this dis
counts-coupled with the saving of the
usual deadbeat losses, would make a
material reduction fn the cost of sup
plies. But he can hardly stand the
strain of a cash transaction himself
while he' Is extending from thirty to
ninety days credit to Dick. Tom and
Harry and all of the little Harrys.
Prices are high in this community,
but conditions are no worse here
than they are in other sections of the
country. The wail Is heard in every
I city and hamlet, and the volume Is
exceeding great.
"Give ub relief!" is the cry.
"Give yourself relief," we say. To
a great extent that remedy is in your
own hands.
Some of you are wedded to the mail
order habit because you get a cent or
two off here and there?but you pay
it back in the freight. /
Is your credit good with the mall
order concern? Not ttt a thousand
years. ?
Do you hand over. y6ur cash before
you get your goods? You bet?
fevery time?and you keep what you,
whether it stings or not
You expect your home merchant,
who extends you credit and carries
your account Indefinitely, to make the
same price on goods he guarantees
that the mail order man makes on
goods he does not guarantee, and for
which he demands his pound of flsh
in advance.
Is this fair? Is it just to the home
merchant, or even to yourself? .
Now why can't the people of this ?
community get together with the
tradesmen and inaugurate a strictly
??ash system in every line .of business
Why can't we stamp out the credit
curse? It Is simply a broader of
KTgh prices, In which everybocty suf
fers.
Buying for cash would mean more
goods for your money, less worry, and
a better community generally.
And the deadbeat would then have
to pay for his keep.
What say you, brother? The?e
columns are open to you for reply.

to get better results. To do this would
Improve each of us In our Judicial
capacities and make us better quali
fied.
I have talked with many, Magistrates
about It and they all have, expressed
themselves as being m favor of a
move of this kind. To do this we
must have a starting point To-day
I am mailing each Magistrate in
Franklin county a copy of this?let

Sales Prove Successful.
The several big sales thai' $re now

Management of the Messrs. Ray, will
be continued for several days and your
attention Is directed to his new an
nouncement, which will give more In
formation.
The sale at the Racket, closes

has been especially satisfactory.
