Monday, June 11, 1928. A I PAGE Families Need Garden Seed (Variety of Necessities Are Asked in Homes. Dishes, chairs, a table cloth, cloth- Ing and even garden seed are needed by the Social Service Bureau to further its work of relief and rehabilitation for indigent families and Miss Virginia Campbell appealed Saturday to any persons or families with such articles to spare to call her at telephone 6260 that the work of the bureau may be furthered. Several families now receiving as- iistance from the bureau have space at their homes for gardens but no eecd to plant, she explained. In some Instances, gardens Xive been spaded tip but there the good work had to stop because there was no money With which to buy seed.

Gardens, children available to tend them. would reduce materially the cost of living for those families and seeds or plants contributed would mean much to them. Lettuce, radishes and bean seed would still bo timely and even tomato and cabbage plants could be put to good use. MANY NEEDY. One family is in need of a table Cloth.

Such an article, she explained, Is considered a non-essential with many poorer families, but in this instance a tablecloth is deemed by the Jamily a badge of family pride and do much to keep up the morale family finances take a turn for the better. Another family, in which there are elx children, has only dishes enough to enable three persons to eat at once. Such a condition creates of carelessness and is severely detrimental to family solidarity, she explained. Contributions of dishes for that fam- Jly would far more than the intrinsic cost of the articles. NOT ENOUGH CHAIRS.

Still another family has not chairs enough to permit all members to sit down to a meal at once. That condition, too, is proving unsatisfactory from a standpoint of family morale and donations of straight chairs would be deeply appreciated. Clothing for eight and ten year old girls is needed in a number of families to permit the encouragement of habits of personal cleanliness. "I know there are a number of families that have used articles such as need which are not serving any good purpose," Miss Campbell commented. "If we could only get them, I can assure the donors that they will be put to the best possible use in helping unfortunate families fight the battle of poverty." Flying Circus Here Sunday Under Auspices of American Legion.

Babcock's flying circus will do some thnlUnc stunt flying, wing walking, automobile polo and motorcycle racing, starting at 2 p. m. next Sunday at the Macon county fair grounds The show will be under the auspices of Castle Williams post No. 105, local unit ol the American Lesion. Proceeds from the show will be used to help finance an all-day's out- Ing on Lake Decatur for children in the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans home, at Normal.

Announcement of the signing of the contract was made Sunday. IN DECATTJR IN 1925. The circus, wh.ch was the same one which was in Decatur on Labor 1925, includes four planes, all piloted by former army flyers. George" Eabcock. who directs the show, was an American flyer during the World War.

There al'-o will be a parachute jump by a woman, and a game of motor polo will be played by specially constructed motor cars. Plant Gains In Production New Ice Concern Producing 12 Tons Per Day. The Pure Ice and Fuel company, with a plant valued at $40,000, is producing ice at a rate of about twelve tons a day. The plant, started in March, was completed In sixty days. The company is formed entirely of local men.

Those interested in the venture are Joseph Clark, Rollie Graham, Ben Carton, Adam Adams and Earl McDonald. The equipment, which is thoroughly modern, is composed of a forty horse power Frick several smaller motors. The plant was designed by R. H. Tait Sons of St.

Louis. John A. Kollins was the chief engineer. The main "advantage of the plant is that if it were necessary to close down manufacture of ice because of a surplus a small three-fourths horse power motor would keep the temperature down so the ice would not melt in the mam storage room. This motor circulates calcium chloride brine through the coils in the main storage room, regulating the temperature between twenty-six and twenty-eight degrees.

The storage rooms are insulated with double two inch blocks of cork with broken joints which allows very little outside air to enter the rooms. It is called a "raw water plant, which means that all of the air is removed from the water before freezing. This, reduces the internal ail- pressure and makes the ice last longer. It also secures a clearer block of ice and removes impurities. Recalls Blow-Up Of Wabash Engine Mrs.

Johanna Fitzpatrick Was Right There. The query of-John Knowlton as to whether any old Decatur residents re call the blowing up of a Wabash en gine pulling a troop train in front of the old Union depot in Decatur at the close of the Civil war brings a reply from one Decatur woman who was right there when it happered Mrs. Johanna Fitzpatrick. 802 West Eldorado, well remembers the occa GAVE SKIRT FOR BANDAGES.

In that competition, the local band ranked first music, but was graded down in appearance, due to uniforms, giving UUKlllvan 1 ment between the business distric and depot and the streets were huo deep in mud. A bus that operated from the St. Nicholas hotel to the depot for the accommodation of pas- 'sengers would not make any extra trips for passengers, running only at train time. It was therefore necessary to wait in the lobby of the old o.

Nick until midnight in order to get a bus back to the depot. Big Crowd For Band Concert Seventy-five Swimmers in the Lake.
