Spring is here and with it have come the first few days of real warm weather, but the effects of the hard winter just passed are still fresh In the minds of the people and, for this reason, very few have begun to think of the coming summer and the ice question.

The following. schedule of prices has been announced: To families, 60 cents per hundred pBunds; to small | stores, 36 cents; to large consumers, 30 cents. The prices last year were 60 cents to familles and in the neigh- borhood of the present prices to-the other consumers.
