FINAL EFFORT BEING MADE TO

Campaign Was Suspended During juno
TO Allow Secretaries to Aid In the
Great Red CroRs Effort.

Final efforts arc now being made to
raise the remaining $4,000 necessary
to complete Richmonds allotment OF
$4,000 for the army work OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, both in
training camps in the United States
and in France. This matter is now
in the hands of group of prominent
Richmond business men who are de-
termined to finish II quickly, and to
this end the cooperation of every one
interested in the efficiency of this coun-
try's army, as well the health and
welfare of the individual soldier, is
sought.
The buildings to be erected Mt the
camps by the Young Mems Christian
Association now cost about $4,000.
when six months ago the cost was
only about $4,000. For this reason, the
demands now being made upon the
association are far greater than first
anticipated. and make the need for
funds all the more urgent.
All financial efforts on tho part Of
the association in raising it's national
war fund was suspended during June,
and 225 secretaries from all parts Of
the country gave practically all Of
their time to helping in the Red Cross
campaign.

is AN ECONOMIC NECESSITY
Step Is Taken Mt Suggestion Of Ma
tional Council OF Defense, and
Practically All Grocers Are Pledged
to Stand by 1t.

Reduced delivery service by the re-
tail grocers of Richmond. which was
adopted about two weeks ago as an
economy measure ut tho suggestion of
the National Council of Defense, will
be inauguratcd this morning. The new
regulations limit deliveries to two
daily, and purchases amounting in
value to moro than so cents only will
be delivered. Practically every grocer
i'll Richmond has pledged himself to
this plan, and it's observance will be
general throughout the city.
While only two deliveries a day to
any ono customer will be made by
the Eroccrs. these deliveries will be
made in the morning and afternoon,
and Will not, according to the grocers,
cause any appreciable Inconvenience
TO any one. When the matter was
first considered. the suggestion was
made that no deliveries be made OF
purchases amounting in value to less
than So. but this was reduced to so
cents. in order TO give the plan a trial
In event ii proves unsatisfactory, the
minimum will probably be increas ed
While this. action was primarily
based upon patriotic principles. 1t was
also an economic necessity. Grocers
declared yesterday they did not see
how many dealers would be able to con-
tinue in business with prices as high
as they are, which cut down to an
profit. With lower prices. the profits
are said to be much greater, and sales
arc in larger volume.
DELIVERY RULE WILL
BE ADHERED TO
"Will the delivery rule be strictly
adhered to-" n well-known grocer was
asked. to which he replied: YES, of
necessity, it will be. We, OF course,
want to be accommodating. Every
grocer does: but we must stand by this
action. And l don't think we are 60
ing to have much trouble getting the
people Of Richmond educated up to
it Many people who have not here
tofore been doing so. are carrying home
their own purchases already, rather
than have them sent There was n
time when a housewife would make n
very small purchase, amounting in
value to. say 10 cents. and would re-
quest that IT be sent around Now,
these same women invariably carry
home their purchases"
How about the woman living around
the corner, who is n good customer and
spends many dollars a month for heavy
groceries? If she. after ordering n big
bill OF goods in the morning. should
order loaf OF bread at cents Just
before tea. can you deliver it under
the new ruler"
No, was the reply
And he went on to explain
We can't make any exceptions and
when the public learns that 1t will
not expect us to- because the whole
proposition Is born Of necessity II
nobody will make deliveries OF pur-
chascs amounting to less tfan so centa
