cash AND CARRY"
PLAN DISCUSSED

Meetings of the grOcers of this
city were held Friday evening and
sunday afternoon i'm response to
call from County Food Ad-
ministrator c.. j. Kinsolving. The
purpose of the meeting was to
attempt to inaugurate cash
and carry system of doing busi-
ness along lines advocated by
State Food Administrator Bick-
nell as war measure for the
conservation of food.
The plan is to inaugurate a
system of paying cash for all
articles and carrying them home
instead of putting the dealer to
the expense of carrying credit
accounts and operating a delivery
system. A meeting Of all the
merchants in the city has been
called for Wednesday evening at
700 o'clock at the court house
ito further discuss the plan and
to discuss a system of inducing
the companies operating in this
section to adopt a semi-monthly
payday instead Of a monthly one
if necessary to carry out the cash
and carry system.
This system has been asked by
the national food administrator
as q war measure and is one
which is being adopted over the
entire country. The merchants
of COeur d'Alene met a week ago
and formulated plans for putting
the system into effect and many
of the cities in the southern part
Of the state have already adopted
lit.

Many Members
For Red Cross
WILL CONTINUE DRIVE TO DECEMBER 81
Idaho Far ExceedeS Quota With Several counties
Yet TO Hear From.

The Red Cross drive for mem
bership in this county, which has
been under way for the past week
is resulting in securing a large
number of applications and
Chairman c.. w. Leaf, in charge
of the work in this county, states
Benewah will exceed the number
allotted. Up to Saturday evening
$50 new applications were re-
ported from the workers in this
city, with several left to report.
Mr.. Leaf estimates that when the
drive is finished at least 700 ap-
plications will have been received
in St. Maries.
Saturday evening Plummer re-
ported having secured 100 new
members and those in charge of
the work there confidently ex-
pected to secure 400 more.
st. Joe reported that at least 100
members would be secured there
and Miss Alice Walker of Santa
notified headquarters she had Sc
.cured 81 new members. This is
exceptionally good work at Santa
as there is only a small field to
draw from. No reports have been
received from the other places in
the county as yet but it is thought
that equally good success is be-
ing met with.
Chairman Leaf stated Monday
morning that the drive in this
county would be continued until
December 3lst in an effort to far
exceed the number required Of
the county, 400 new members.
The workers have been handi-
capped by a lack Of supplies, the
buttons showing membership be-
ing exhausted early in the drive.
Small badges were printed Satur-
day and issued to the new mem
bers and these will be replaced
| by buttons as soon as they are
received. This shortage of sup
plies is general throughout the
west, chapters everywhere report
ing their supplies exhausted early
in the drive.
A telegram received Saturday
Iby Chairman Leaf from State
Chairman F.. H. Dewey states that
Idaho has far exceeded its quota
lCf $4,000 members and there are
still several counties to report.
THE telegram follows:
