Jenkins , In ternal Revenue man , from Chadron , the editor visited the men putting up ice from the lake just north of town. The ice is of excellent quality and is 1C to 18 inches in thickness. The F. E. & M. V. E. R. Co. have 29 teams and 105 men employed in marking , sawing floating , dragging up a chute and load to ing into cars which stand on a side track near the mill. The work goes on like clock work under the efficient management ofVm. . Spencer , J. W. Mann and other foremen of the work seem to understand their duties as though it were of continuous duration Later Supt ilarraon was a viewer of tto work. 38 cars were loaded that day and before the work is closed hun dreds of dollars will He spent in our town for labor aud scores of traiu loads of the best ice obtainable will be shipgo ped to towns along the road east to " Omaha and west to the mountains.

Good Cooking niid Political Economy. I think it ie more thoroughly real ized day by day how much nutritious , well-cooked , well-selected food has to do not only with the physicial well- being but also with the mental. Many large institutions have learned this truth , and have set at the head of . their departments women with a knowledge of careful marketing , the properties of food , the best possible methods for cooking and serving that food. Every university , college and school would certainly give first choice to college women , yet they cannot al ways be found. And it is interesting to note that these women are gener ally teachers of political economy. As a result of their investigations they have recognized the truth that for the evils of drunkenness and dis content a very practical cure is cleani healthful , thrifty homes.
