Atlanta, June 11.—The enforcement of the Ice conservation order issued Friday night by Dr. Soule, federal Food Administrator, publication of which, he says, is to be accepted as of ficial by county administrators and all parties concerned—has not yet gone far enough to meet the actual de mand In handling the peach crop movement and meeting essential do mestic Ice consumption. The order today was continued by Ur. Soule as follows: 1. The use of cracked, crushed or shaved ice is prohibited in service of individual soft drinks or beverages -vc-r the counter or at table by soda founts, soft drink dealers, club3, hotels and public eating places. This is intended to apply and pro hibit the use of ice in indivjd al gles3- es of beverages or soft drinks as has commonly been the custom at foun tains in the counter of table service and at resorts in similar service; to the use of cracked cr crushed ice in individual glasses at table in the serv ice of table waters and beverages serv ed in hotels, clubs and public places. Its purpose U to eliminate the unnec essary use of additional ice in all cas es where refrigeration in quantity is equally serviceable. It is not to be construed as prohibiting "the service of Ice water to guests in their rooms in hotels and clubs by pitcher or oth er container service, in which crack ed ice is used. However, numerous hotels have adopted guest room ther mos bottles for tee -water, which vast ly reduces the room service of ice and this is particularly encouraged by the administration. 2. Ail dealers in and manufacturers of ice are prohibited from delivering, by daily delivery or otherwise, any quantity of ice greater than 75 per cent, of the daily average amount de livered during the week beginning on May 26, to any soda fountain, soft drink dealer, club, hotel, restaurant or other public eating place. The foregoing limitation is not equal to the increased actual demand for ice in handling the peach crop, in meeting necessities of the increased population in certain centers due to military activity and protecting the homes against a serious ice shortage. Computation shows necessity for a minimum 50 per cent, restriction, but the administration is of the opinicn that a strict and uniform conservation by all consumers under merely ns 25 per cent, restriction can be made to meet the actual demands. 3. In all homes the housekeeper is particularly urged to guard retriger- ator practices and see that the doors nnd ice compartments are kept tight ly closed; to refrigerate tha drinking i,liter rather than using cracked ice and to eliminate in parties and enter tainments those refreshments which are heavy consumers of ice; to pur chase ice cream from a manufacturer rather than lreezing it at home. The foregoing is in the interest of home conservation, Refrigerated wa ters and beverages, for home use, an swer every requirement and the freez ing of ice creams in bulk by large ma kers requires comparatively far less ice than for individual freezing and in large centers is an entire saving since the freezing is by rtfrigerating plants of the manufacturer. Finally, the administration again urges the cannning or preserving of peaches ns liberally as possible to pre vent loss of any part of the crop that may or may not be shipped. Publication of all of the foregoing to be accepted by county administra tors and all parties concerned as of ficial MILLEDGEVILLE GEORGIA, Wednesday Morning, June 12, 1918. $1.50 a Year PLEDGE DAY FOR SAVINGS STAMPS Effort Will Be~Made To Add Many Members To Thrift Army Of Uncle Sam’s Gov- ernment, June 28. With the Red Cross Second War Fund campaign brought to a success- tnl conclusion, there is nothing left now for which the people of this corn- try will have to prepare immediately, except "Pledge Uay’’ for War Sav ings on June 28. Until the inauguration of the War Savings Stamps as a method of help ing Uncle Sam and for teaching care less Americans how to save, there •had never been any definite plan for teaching the people of this country how to save. Many people save on a “hit and miss” plan, mostly miss and as a consequence there were few- real savers among the American peo ple. The War Savings Stamps teach ne to save systematically, many per sons adopting the method of saving one, two or 'more each week. Under the system which everyone will adopt on “Pledge Day" when they agree to buy a certain number of stumps before December 31 there will be systematic saving in every home in this country. The lesson cf Thrift will be so thoroughly learned by that time that it will have become a habit, and everyone will be members of the big thrift army of Uncle Sam’s Gov ernment. However, it was not with the view of teaching the lesson of thrift that Uncle Sam started this bag War Sav ings campaign. It Is because he needs the money to run the Government of the United States, and it is the peo ple who are benefited by this Govern ment who must support it. Uncle Sam does not ask for a gift of your money, he asks for merely a loan. Between now and June 28, sit down and figure cut for yourself Just how much you are going to buy in the way of War Savings Stamps before De cember 31. If you will think careful ly over the past six months, you can probably find that you expend your money for many things that you could have done very well without. It is the money that you pay for these things that you must in the future in vest in War Savings Stamps. When you once commence to save, you will find many other ways in which you can add to your savings and invest in these War Savings Stamps. Don't forget June 28. Be ready when you are asked to sign the pledge. SUMMARY OF SAVING BY FOOO ADMINISTRATION tides prepared by the domestic sci ence department and of the training school was put on exhibition In the several college buildings for the ob servation of hundreds of visitors go ing through the Institution and while this ended the program carried out during the commencement, the par ticular occasion proved.

There were more than five hundred teachers present on the evening of the summer school opening and since that time others have arrived to be added to the rollof students. The number of applications received by the secretary of the school exceeds the attendance of last year and in all there are more than elg# hundred names to be en tered on the roil for this season. The success of the summer school this year is already proving greater than was ever hoped and the attend ance only goes to indicate in an even greater measure the popularity of the practically newly established institi:- •tlon. The number of teachers taking advantage of the courses to be taught •will bq sufficient to fill every avail-* able room in the regular college dor mitories and for this reason the sur roundings will appear in nn manoer lonely during the next few weeks to come.
