HARTINGTON — The second Sunday in May, the ninth of the month, has been proclaimed by Governor Morehead as Mothers’ Day. The proclamation issued by him calls attention to the beauty of the custom of specially honoring “the friend of friends.”
Through all ages and all centuries, the world is indebted to motherhood, for mother love is as old as the world and as young as the youngest born. It is the greatest force for good on this earth.

RANDOLPH -At a meeting of the directors of the Randolph Ice Co. held on Monday it was decided the prices of ice remain the same as last year.
Even though the company is to have added expense for labor they propose to do their part toward bringing about normal conditions and will maintain the old prices just as long as conditions will allow, which they hope will be for the entire season.
Manager Blizzard is overhauling the plant and seeing that all is in good shape. A small leak in the ammonia pipes is the only thing yet found that needs new parts.
Roy Couch has been engaged to deliver ice to city customers and he will be responsible for this part of the business and will give bond for the faithful performance of his duties. Patrons will buy new ice books of Mr. Couch, and he is instructed to collect all unused ice books and pay cash for all unused coupons.
This will clear up all old business and start in with new coupon books.
The company will also keep accurate daily reports of ice produced, money received and disbursed and conduct the plant on good business principles.

RANDOLPH - A Frigidaire ice cream cabinet was installed the past week by Obert & Walz.
The Frigidaire is the newest device for keeping things cold and is really a miniature ice making plant, operated automatically by electricity.
When the cooling system needs to be colder the electric motor in the basement starts work and brings down the temperature to the proper place and then stops. Thus the ice cream is always just so, and without the use of ice.
The new cabinet holds four cans of ice cream.

RANDOLPH -Norman, 11-yearold son of Freeman Clark of Sholes, broke his left forearm last Saturday by falling over a plank while playing in the yard at the family home.
Jess Wynn, seven miles north, was thrown from a bucking horse last Thursday and the result was a broken collar bone.

RANDOLPH - At a called meeting of the local Izaak Walton League last Thursday night a good attendance talked over the possibility of a swimming pool for Randolph.
It is thought that the city park would be the proper place for such a pool and the committee, Wm. Eike and G. A. Hanssen, were asked to bring in a report on the matter. It is thought that the water used in cooling the cylinders of the city light plant engines can be used to fine advantage in supplying water to a swimming pool. This water comes from the engines warm and at present goes to waste. At small expense it might be piped to a pool.
Another project talked over was an artificial lake to be located within easy distance from Randolph and to be stocked with fish, such lake to be also used as a duck shooting pond in the fall. The committee on this proposition is Dr. Kerley and Lee Brenner.
Both of these plans are good, the swimming pool probably coming first as of benefit to a large class of our people, children as well as grownups. It will cost something to build a suitable cement pool, erect bath house, lay needed pipes and provide overflow outlet, benches, lighting.
