Iowa Ice Prices Cut Down Under Food Administration
The Iowa ice division of the U S Food Administration under W T Harper reduced prices and stabilized supply across counties. Adjustments range from 55 to 60 cents for households, with varied rates for businesses and wholesalers, as towns like Fontanelle, Orient, Jefferson, and Chariton reported changes and issuances of new price structures amid efforts to curb profiteering and ensure milk preservation in households.

Width of roads prompts cost and design concerns
First Deputy Highway Commissioner H Eltinge Breed states New York roads, mostly 16 feet wide, could not be completed as planned with the 1912 budget of about 13000 dollars per mile. He urges economy, varied pavement classes, and federal aid to reach a usable system wider than present, ideally 18 feet for two lanes or 24 feet for three. He notes concrete roads suffer edge rutting when widening shoulders. County food administrators meet in Des Moines as Hoover conservation policies are discussed for postwar food regulation and aid to allies and former enemies.

Contains stray lines about a wife carrying streetcar fare and a vague reference to a character named He. The readable parts suggest a fragmentary classifieds style item with no clear entities or dates.
