be so quick. The speediest way for
the grocer to get SO packages to his
customers is to send out his own
team. But ii housewives would fore
see their wants, and order ahead so
that there would be time to make de-
liveries in systematic way, this cost
would be greatly reduced.
Many people while condemning the
delivery system, argue that when the
grocer is delivering packages for ev'
eryone else, he might as we'll take
theirs along. But as long as people
take this attitude. the needless wastes
of the system will never be checked.
If everyone will take all possible par
cells home, this waste can be cut
down. Then if people will pay cash.
the bad debt charge will be cut out.
Another needless charge is the cost
of soliciting orders for groceries.
which is common in the great major
ity of places. No other lines OF re-
tailers try to solicit from door to
door. All these needless costs, the
outgrowth of wasteful popular habits,
are greater than the entire cost Of the
middleman's service at which so many
people complain.

A War Of Discipline.

The recruits in the training camps
will often be fretting because they
are asked to obey this and that rule
for which they fail to see a necessity
They should reflect that their own
safety and everyone's depends on in.
slant obedience. 1t must be possible
to hold a group of men to strict COM
pliance with orders or the offensive
will fail.
The Canadians troops at the start
of the war lost very heavily They
were almost too brave. They were so
anxious to so ahead that they could
not be held to strict discipline, con-
sequently they suffered needless casu-
alities.
In this war there is minute sub
division of function. Every man has
his task which must be performed in
certain way. If once the prear-
ranged plan is broken up by too much
individual initiative, the attack is
weakened. The soldier for the good
of all must learn to fit in with the
general plan and do Immediately just
what he is told.

SUNDAY EVENING

North Platte, Neb., Injured
When Car Turns Over.
r HAPPENED EAST OF. TOWN
Mr.. Walters Says There Were No
Lights Showing Bridge Was in
Course of Construction

An automobile accident occurred
Sunday evening on the Lincoln high
way between here and Val! when a
Ford car driven by c. H. Walters, of
North Platte, Neb.. overturned at the
new cement bridge. Mr.. Walters and
wife were both injured, he having his
shoulder and elbow dislocated as well
as receiving a number of cuts and
bruises. Mrs Walters leg was badly
cut and required eight stitches to close
the wound.
Mr.. Walters stated to Review re-
porter Sunday night that he, together
with his wife and sister, were in the
car, travelling west over the highway
at a moderate rate Of speed and on
account Of poor lights did not discov-
err the barricade Rather than strike
the barricade he endeavOred to, swing
the car over onto the temporary road
but turned too short and the machine
rolled over the embankment, turning
turtle. Both he and his wife, who
were riding in the front seat were pin
ned under the car while his sister in
the back seat was thrown clear OF the
machine. The sister was able to lift
the car enough to permit them to
crawl out. They were brought to Den
isOn and their injuries attended to by
a local physician. Mr.. Walters stated
that no lanterns were lighted at the
bridge and his first warning was the
barricade.
They returned to their home at
North Platte Monday morning.
