him a dinner without ice and see
how quickly his demeanor will
change. It is annoying to the
housewife to be without plenty
' '-ice during the warm months.
No iced deserts or toothsome ice

ice. Let lis serve you we do it

In Guoccooful Operation
People on Steel, Washington
and Main streets are already
using gas. Just now gas is be
ing made only two or three times
a week. .
As this is not only one of the
newest but one-of the most com
plete gas plants in the south, it
might be well to note something
of the way in whic hgas is manu
factured here. Iri the first place
this is a high pressure plant, the
plant in Goldsboro -being the
only" other high pressure ..one m
the state. From this plant' con
sumers as far away as five miles
can get the same amount of gas
as those a block away from the
place of production. This is not
so with low pressure plant9.
Most of the old fashioned.
plants rtrake gas from coal, this
plant makes t from coke, oil and
steam. Steam added at the bot
tom of a generator', passes up
through coke at a very high tem
perature, taking the carbon from
the Coke, then .goes to the car
bufoiteor where oil is, added.
From the carburettor.it goes to
. . -
the super heater and is here so
fixed as to make carburretcd
water gas. From jthc super heat-
er the gasx goes to the scrubber
which takes out the tar and by-
.products, then to the condenser,
thence to the to tar extractor,
wjiich takes. out the remaining
tar. From the tar extractor the
j gas is cent to the purifying boxes
which fixes it ready for tne con- or,er to make the Farm and Fire
sumer. side a byword in every household'
From the purifying boxet the an(j realizin that the boys and
gas is passed through the station g.;rs are the best friends of a
nwter. which measures gas as it magazine they decided to use the
is produced and finally it is money' which was set aside for
run to the storage tank, the big ajVetising purposes in distribut
ed steel tank that is expected to prjze;, an(i presents among
supply High Point with gas for
a numbtr of years space on the
grounds, however,- being left for
another tank when llieh Point
jjrows so as to demand it.
I'rom this large tank the gas
goes through a compressor thence
into a smaller tank, and from this
smaller tank it eoes into the
mains all "over, the city. ' The
large tank holds 50,000 cu. ft. df
gas, the smaller one 15,000, mak
ingv a storage capacity of '65,000
cu. ft
Mr. Crawford, the superintend
ent informs us that the work at
the plant will - be 'completed by
the first of October, but just now
they are ready to put in gas any
where and while, the work it go
ing on the cost of connection
will be nothing extra f the ccn
sumer.
Today the office of the com
pany is being moved from North'
Main street to their , new office
building on S. Main St., and here"
the company will beTeady to hear
Company will be ready to hear
and adjust complaints of any
kind.
- On yesterday at the . teacheys

a pontic advertising: campaign
involving tremendous expense in

of the boys and girls in every
town he has visited.
Mr. Canaran was engaged to
make this advetising campaign
on account of his previous record
as a Globe Trotter, having cover
ed many thousands of miles into
all sections of this and foreign
countries as a newspaper cor
respondent and lecturer. Many
tales of interest for the. boys and
girls as well as the grown ups
and his presence among us is a
tribute to the progressive and up-to-date
methods Of the Farm and
Fireside wbich can be attested to
by more than half a million who
are numbered among the regular
subscribers.
It stands in a class by. itself in
the field that it covers. Each ad
dition of its pages being filled
with valuable and interesting ar
ticles covering such subjects as
law, literature, art, science, econ
omics, politics, educational and
commercial topics, a veritable en-
cyclopedea for the hoVne, and the
object of Mr. Canaran's presence
is to so thoroughly impress these
facts upon the minds of the peo
ple that whenever the word mag
azine is mentioned that instinc
tively Farm and Fireside will
immediately suggest, itself to
their minds. "

FOR PUBLIC SERVICE.
Mr. Kditor: j
The 'railroad commisdon of
North Carolina will do th public
a great servtce if it will requivc
telegraph companies to insert un
each telceram the time it was
tiled by the sender for trjmsmi
sion. We see no reaso why ttie
telegraph companies would ob
ject to such a requirement. It
would strengthen the public's be
lief in the quick service that is
claimed. , Y
On the other hand, ( business
men receiving telegram want
this information, as it f ould en
able them to transact a 'greater
volume of business in one day,
and its general effect woi'd be

MADAME SHERRY
tleorgc W. Lederer's mine as
a producer of musical pieces us
ually spells something njar the
last word in approximate perfec
tion of production. Playgoers
familiar with the manager's suc
cesses while he held forth at the
New York Casino, at a timi when
he controlled the fortunes of Lil
lian Russell, Jefferson De An
gelis, Walter Jones, Davi War
field, Louis Mjjnn,, Ednaj May,
Maybelle Oilman, Paua Ed
wardes an dother stars lad op
portunity during that peaod to
observe the finished quality of his
theatriottl equipments. Inj"Mad
anie. Sherry", a musical produc
tion that has scored a success of
greater popular magnitudt than
any musical piece offtred in the
metropolis in a score of years, the
Lederer touch and the ederer
manner are said to be'vitaly con
tributing elements accounting for
the. production's furore. ( Aside
from the notes of mirth stuck by
the story and past perfoijiances
have demonstrated that on one
better than Lederer knowshow to
effect stage fun ."Madams' Sher
ry" is said to fascinate net alone
by its score with its wishing
"Ev'ry 'Little Movement Has a
Meaning All Its Own" theuej but
to enthrall as well by the general
beauty shimmering throughout
the productions three actl .The
scenic opportunities for tbe Led
erer artistry are a New York
gilded youth's studio, with be
vies of dancing feminine 'guests
devoted to . Grecian terpsjehoret
the salon of a millionaire's yacht,
under full sail in the waters off
Coney Island, with her feminine
guests as models for the Lederer
ingenuity and taste in costuming.
The conduct of every menjber of
the cast, which term takes1 in the
feminine chorus, is said, loo, to
reflect this general sense oj beau
ty, a quality that one uncon
sciously appreciates, who glistens
to many of the airs of the pub
lished score 'of the production.
"Madame Sherry" is to be pre
