Matinee, 2:30 and 4:00 to Shortage, Necessitating Importations from Denver The supply of natural ice in Cas-/ per has been diminished to such an extent that H. P. Bubb, owner and manager of the Sanitary Ice com- pany, now finds it necessary to im- port ice from Denver, Chadron, and Scottsbluff, the natural consequence being the raising of the price of ice for the downtown district only, the increase in rates not to affect the residence districts at all. In defense of the increase Mr. Bubb states that last fall he was led to believe that an ice plant would be erected in Casper from which he could procure his supply of ice for this summer. and, in fact, avreed verbally on the price to be paid for the entire output of ice. In view, of this fact Mr. Bubb did not attempt to secure ice from the lakes and ponds to any great extent and, with the evaporating of the ice plant echeme promoted for a while by local men, he is now forced to buy ice out- side of Crsper. Mr. Bubb states that the ice plant scheme did not seem to be materiliz- inz, so he took over the plant at the old brewery and at great expense mut the ice plent in running order. The capacity of h’s present plant is bnt ten ton per day which leaves a def'ciency of about 20 or more tons to be supplied elsewhere. Until late- ly this has been met with the nat- ural ice on hand, but with the dwind- ling of the supply of imported ice has become a necessity. One car load of ice a week from Chadron, Denver and Scottsbluff has been contracted for by Mr. Bubb and this must be paid for in advance, and the frieght must be paid and in or,- der to do this Mr. Bubb finds it es- sential, he states, to increase the price 10 cents per hundred in the down-town districts. ITALIAN GIRLS AID BROTHERS WITH COLORS {By United Press} NEW YORK, July 30.—The Ital- boys who are doing so nobly in driving back the Austrians are get- ting frist class support from an or- ganization of 50 of their sisters here. These 50 giris are employed in fac- tories and shops diffing the day, but they spend two evenings every week making surgical dressings for the Red Cross. The Italian working girls’ Red Cross unit has been or- ganized by Miss Marie Frugone, and meets after working hours in a room on Madison avenue, which is occu- pied by wealthy Italian women work- ers for the Red Cross during the day.

PRIESTS ASSIST HUN PROPAGANDA Services of Clergy Called in on | Administration of German | Food Rulings AMSTERDAM, July 29.—The ser-} vices of the clergy have been enlisted | in various parts of Germany to as- sist in keeping down the growing |popular discontent over food difficul- ties. In the diocese of Munster, Westphalia, the official “War Food |Department,” has arranged for spe- |cial lectures thruout the diocese, at which the local priests and clergy will preside and emissaries of the de- partment will furnish information, in- struction and arguments designed to| janswer complaints regarding food iscarcity.and against the severity of {punishments for small transgressions of the food regulations. There are also many complaint in the country districts over the intri- cacy and inadequacy of the food reg- ulations, and these complaints gen- erally reach first of all the ears of the parish priests. The Rrenish West- phalian Gazette, in an editorial ap- proving the scheme to enlist the as- sistance of the clergy, says: “The last few months before the harvest will be the most trying time jof all.
