DECLINE TO SHIP ICE TO RICHMOND .Anderson Company Goes Back on Contract with Local Ice Company. The Rettlg and Johnson Ice Company today issued the following statement: To Ice Consumers: We received a letter Monday after- ' noon from the Crystal Ice Co., of Anderson, declining to furnish any ice on their contract with us. While this result was not wholly unexpected, from Information we had received before, yet we did hope, on acrount of 'the cooler weather of the past few idays that shipments would be made i on the ronfract. rather than be subIject to a suit for damages. Hence the refusal was a bitter disappointment to us, as it will be to former cash customers to whom we had declined to sell coupon books, ponding the uncertainty as to these expec ted shipments. As a result of the failure to receive 1hls additional supply, (about. 100 tons per week), we will be wholly unable to take rare of any more business than that now represented by coupon (book holders, and those having weekly and monthly contracts for ice. In ,fact, If another long siege of hot weaIther comes, we could not supply their full demands, but would be compelled (to divide out our supply between these 'consumers on a pro rata basis. In fhe I meantime we are making every effort to get Ice from other places, regardless of cost. Demand Abnormal. Last season, we only uRed 1,058 tons of natural Ice all told. In addition to the quantity made at our plants. This season, which Is only half gone, we have used over 1,500 tons of natural Ice, In addition to the output of our plants, which latter have also made more ice than ever before, being in excellent condition. We now have on hands about 250 ttons of Ice, much the greater part of which la natural. This surplus can last 'but a short time in ordinary summer weather. From that time on (unless we are lucky enough to buy some ice 'and get it) the ice consumers of Rich- , mond will be restricted to the 45 tons dally capacity of the two plants, prices remaining the same. If the weather during the balance of the season should be Interspersed with cool : spells like the present one, giving us ; a chance to get a little surplus to meet the extra demands of the warm spells, we might be able to amply take care of our outstanding demands that Is, to satisfy those having contracts and coupon books. Dut even under such favorable conditions we cannot hope to be able to supply those who have been buying for cash, arid therefore, we cannot enlarge our obligations bv selling any coupon books to thr class. While we regret this situation Jeeply, it would be unfair to the public and to ourselves to 'misrepresent facts, even by silence. 'We are "confronted by a condition, :not a theory," and the people are entitled to know the whole truth. We again ask that all Ice consumers use the utmost economy In its use, to the end that as many people can be served as possible. We cannot refrain from expressing our thanks and appreciation of the very fair and even kind treatment we have received for the most part from all classes of consumers, who understand that "the Ice man" cannot make the weather In winter or summer, and that while it is a thing to be deiplored, it is not a crime to run out of ice. . , RETTIQ & JOHNSON.

How to Banish Wrinkles Quickly
(From Guide to Beauty) If the average woman only knew It, It is not so difficult to preserve the youthful contour and velvety smoothness of complexion. Every woman hates to see her face wrinkled or baggy, and practically every one has experimented with some sort of patent remedy in the effort either to remove such condition or ward it off. As a matter of fact, the most effective remedy in the world is one that any woman can easily make up hereslf at home, in a moment's time. Let her take one ounce of pure powdered saxolite, which she can purchase at any drug store, and dissolve it in a half pint of witch hazel. Apply this refreshing solution to the face every day. The results are surprising and instantaneous. Even after the very first application a marked improvement is apparent. The wrinkles are less in evidence and the face has a comfortable, smug feeling of firmness that is most delightful. der usual conditions. Prices, ten, twenty and thirty cents. Daily matinees ten cents starting Tuesday. At the Murray. "The show is great." is the unanimous verdict of the patrons attending the popular Murray theater this week. There is not a dull moment in the entire show, but things are humming all the time. The show is oppned by Dillae and Geyer In their own original comedy, "The Fairies' Picnic." This is a bit of nonsense means to please and most certainly fulfills its mission. Good singing, dancing and talking are combined to make this one of the best of its kind. Next on is Jack Miller, the eccentric comedian, with singing and funny stories. All of his songs are new and exceedingly funny while his stories are the best yet. Ralton & LaTour in their "Whirlwind of Variety" are great. The act is well dressed and consists of refined singing, dancing and music. The young lady in her hobble skirt was very attractive. Amid thunderous applause called forth by their extraordinary feats of strength and daring the Bimbos retired from the stage last evening. Perhaps never in the history of vaudeville in Richmond had there been such an act presented here as that of this dainty young lady and her wonderful partner. The act is full of comedy that keeps, one- laughing even while one's nerves are at high tension from watching this act and expecting at any moment to see an accident befall the prtists. REDSKIN IN FAMILY. While examining a hole in a sudsy undergarment a woman noticed her hands which looked very red and angry. "If you'd throw away that yellow stuff and use Hewitt's Easy Task Laundry Soap as I do," smiled a friend, "you'd cut your washing troubles in two save your clothes, and my! how fine your hands would feel. You know It's the original white, pure kind. Your grocer sells it." A SHREWD SHOPPER. The Little Play by Which She Wjn Attentive Service. "Chicago people certainly haTe the knack of getting on." a shopper said "In the suit department of a bis store I met a Chicago woman who bad been in New York less tuau a week. Sue said she wasn't buying anything; had just come to get the lay of the land In the process of getting It she stopped a casligtrl and said: " 'is that Miss Blake selling white linen skirts to that fat woman? I understand you have a Miss Blake in the department.' , "'No; that Is Miss Barton.' said the cashgirl. "The Chicago woman wrote the name in her address book. Then she showed me the names of saleswomen in several other stores. " 'This is only u preliminary to real shopping. 6be said. lt pays to take the extra trouble. If I expect to buy more than $5 worth of anything at u strange store I learn beforehand the name of the saleswoman whose looks I like best. Then when I go back to buy I can say. as I shall do here to morrow. 'I would like Miss Barton to wait on me,' and, although Miss Bar ton has never set eyes on me. the fact that I can call her name gives her the impression that she must hare sold me a $100 dress at some time, and 1 get twice as good service as I would get If I knew nobody by name.'

There Is a tremeudous power in the bablt of expectancy, the conviction that we shall realize our ambition, that our dreams shall come true, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magaxine. There is no uplifting habit like ihat of carrying an expectant, hopeful attitude, of expecting that our heart yearnings will be matched with realities that things are going to turn out well and not ill; that we are going to succeed; that, no matter what may or may not happen, we are going to be happy. There is nothing else so helpful as the carrying of this optimistic, expectant attitude the attitude which always looks for and expects the best, the highest, the happiest and never allowing oneself to get into the pes simlstJc. d!"ouraged moodBelieve with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do Never for an instant harbor a dcrobt of this.

LOCAL TRAVELERS AID THE PROJECT C. Jefferson Davis Recruits Workers to Cause of Improved Highways. "The victory of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company in the National Road controversy in this county Is a blow at the good roads movement In Indiana especially at the National Road Improvement project, which is now flourishing from Maryland to the Mississippi river. I hope in the end the people will win out, and the county commissioners should not give up the fight." This statement was made today by C. Jefferson Davis, of Cincinnati, organizer of the "Good Roads Traveling Men's Association." Mr. Davis is one of the best known traveling men in the country and the work he is doing for good roads has been indorsed by President Taft. Mr. Davis is in this city for a few days on business. While here Mr. Davis will enlist local traveling men in his organization, and he says quite a number have already enrolled. "Good roads mean a whole lot to traveling men. In winter when the roads are bad it Is difficult and, in many cases, impossible for us to call on our country customers." In speaking of the new organization last evening Dr. Davis stated that the traveling salesmen are particularly qualified to boost the movement for good roads, as they are constantly coming in contact with merchants and manufacturers, the farmer and all classes of people. He thinks the statement of the salesman to a merchant that another town is forging ahead because it has good roads leading to it and that the improvement of roads leading to the merchant's town would be of vast benefit in a business way would have a positive effect in favor of the good roads movement. He declares the salesman is in favor of improved roads, because better roads would mean a large saving of time and greatly increased business by reason of the fact that more territory could be covered in a given time. Among the results Mr. Davis hopes to attain through this organization is the improvement of the National road by brick paving from Cumberland, Md.. to St. Louis, Mo., and the establisnment of a transcontinental road.
THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. A Drink From the Well That Was Not Appreciated. The girl accepted the glass of ice water with a fervor in her words that went away beyond the manner of ordinary politeness. "Yes." she confessed, "I am deeply grateful. Youdou't know what a blessing it is to be able to get a drink out of a refrigerator just open the door and take it out. You see, I've been visiting at one of those houses in the country where the poetic old oakeu bucket still is on the job. Every time I wanted a drink 1 bad to get a knife and a weight and a rope and a bucket and a cup. I dug the lid of fhe well up with the knife. Then I adjusted the weight on one side of the bucket so it would tip over and take in water when It hit the bottom. Then I drew up the bucket, took a cupful of water, coiled the rope, shut down the lid and put the knife away again. All that for just one little drink! "Once we went out driving. We found one well where we couldn't get the Hd up? We found auotber where the rope was too short. I was just dying for a drink by that time, so one of the boys held another upside down in the well by the legs, you know and we dipped out a driuk that way. Thank you. I'm very comfortable where 1 am. No oaken buckets for me. except in songs." Kansas Citj Star. Saving Time. "How much is that?" asked the man who was in a hurry. "Dollar ninety -eight," replied the saleslady. "Would you mind calling it $2 even?" "I'm sorry, but it's against the rules." "Would you consent as a favor to retain the change?" "Certainly not! I do not receive tips." He turned sadly away. Then a bright idea struck him. He went to the door, called a passing newsboy and took him to the counter. He reached for the article desired and regardless of protest shoved it into his pocket Laying down a two dollar bill, be said to the newsboy: "Now, son. you wait for that 2 cents change, no matter bow long it takes, and here's half a dollar for your trouble."

Water birds which are ordinarily able to float high on the water can also sink at will by esnelliug the air which is inclosed within the film of feathers surrounding their liodies. thus making them heavier than water. This mechanical trick on the part of diving birds is probably familiar to all who have watched the kingfisher at close quarters and have noted the sudden contraction In the bird s apparent size as it takes the plange. Tula is much more easily observed in the case of the starling, which sometimes imitates the kingfisher by plunging into water for food. The shrinkage of the bird in apparent size is very apparent when, after hovering above the sur face, it turns downward to dive. Zo ologist The Telltale. A college girl told how she had been cured of the ugly habit, when a little girl, of sticking out her tongue when writing. She was working on a writing lesson one day when the teacher called to her the full length of the room: "'Mary you are making capital L's when I asked for capital P's.' " "How did you know that I was wrong?' the little girl asked. "I could tell," said the teacher, "by your tongue." Detroit Free Press. The Best He Could Do.

Plan for Local Aeroplane Meet Given to Council Last Evening
There was a womialttee appointed by Mayor Zimmerman at council meeting last night, to investigate a letter from the National Aero-plane association, Vhich desires to send machines here for an exhibition meet. The cost of flights by a Bleriot monoplane and a Curtiss biplane, would be $500. The letter suggested that the cost be divided between the railroad and interurban companies, the fair association, jf such existed, commercial organiza tions and the newspapers. The committee consists of Councilmen Bartel, Thatcher and Williams. It will probably be referred to the Young Men's Business club. "Keep automobiles out of Glen Miller park, at certain hours, and make everyone there obey the right and left ordinance," was the statement made by Councilman A. Weishaupt. There were other remarks on the violation of the right ad left ordinances. Wessel said that the night policeman at Eighth and Main street, stood swinging his club while the automobiles shot past on either side. "Do you remember," said Mayor Zimmerman, as he reminiscently scratched his head, "when I was ordered by council to inforce the right and left ordinance, and then ordered to give back the fines." It was agreed that 'it's a funny world." Two ordinances were read for the first time, one ordering a cement alley between South Fourth and Fifth streets, south of "B street, and the second for a cement alley, the first one south af Main street between South Tenth and Eleventh streets. The following routine matters were introduced by the councilmen: W. H. Bartel A motion that an ordinance be drawn renting out certain corners on Main street, to persons selling different wares, at the rate of $20 per month. Mr. Bartel caused some unfavorable comment in council last night. The Mayor said that no one had the right to sell a man special privilege to blockade the sidewalks or streets. "If I had my way," declared the Mayor, "all the grocery display counters and showcases on the sidewalks would be removed. They congest traffice on busy days." An opinion was asked of Assistant City Attorney Jessup and he stated it would be unlawful to sell the special privilege of blockading the sidewalks. He said REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AMD CHILD.

it is dangerous and that progressive cities are gradually cutting out s,idewalk displays! The mayor then said he might start proceedings in the board of works to remove eertain
show cases which are on tlie side walks. He claimed the councilmen should not come to the meetings with requests for favors for their special friends. Bartel said: "AYell you can't make me mad. Tear it up." The mo tion failed to carry. J. T. Burdsal Request of the board of works to see that Contractor Davis, who is oiling the streets of the city, take particular care not to get the oil on the crosswalks, and to clean up the dust after it is brushed from the street. President Hammond of the board of works explained that Davis has a big job on his hands and that he is doing his best to complete the work. In the discussion that followed Richmond was spoken of as a "dust free town." K. E. King Request that the board of works to go out on North C street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and "smell the manhead there." "That will be enough," said Kiug. H. H. Engelbert In the absence of Mr. Engelbert, Mayor Zimmerman in troduced a motion requested by that councilman. Engelbert wanted permission to oil the brick streets. The regular street oil that Davis is putting on the street was deemed to thick for the paved street. A thin machine oil was suggested by Mr. Von Peln. J. E. Thatcher "How is the board getting along with that little fountain?" Mr. Thatcher referred to the drinking fountain that the local society of D. A. R. donated to the city. The society wanted to put it at Eighth and Main streets but council decided to have it placed in the south Tenth street park. The matter is now in the hands of the D. A. R. committee.

The mayor told Von Pein to file an affidavit. "If you want new offleers," declared Mayor Zimmerman, "You've got to have the nerve to raise the taxes. The board of works does as much as it can." Frank Waidele The emptying of sewage from the big pipes at the top of the river valley, was a matter introduced by Waidele. He declared that the stench on hot days arising from the rocks below the sewer pipes was nearly unbearable. Waidele wants the pipes carried to below the level of the river.
