ITEM OF EXTRA EXPENSE

You would think perhaps that with truck delivery. our orders would be very large. But there are frequently cases when we have to send one yeast cake to North Birmingham or some such remote part of the city Of course to be cour- teous to our customers and to compete with other large grocers. it is necessary for us to supply their demands But if the women would only realize the expense they are making for themselves by the methods they pursue, they would surely change
 ''The question of delivery is about the most expensive question we have to han dle in our business. With systematic orr dering on the part of the women, and their cooperation in carrying packages whenever possible, we would be able to do away with the three wagons we have and get one more truck and get along nicely
 ''I think this is one way in which all the women in Birmingham could cooper ate to reduce the cost of living.
 Perry Fowllss of Fowlkes & Myatt agrees with MT. Robertsdenat great saw ing could be effected for the housewives with their cooperation in this matter
 .sOf course, good delivery system is ar. important part of any business" said MT. Fowlkes "But the women are in clined to take advantage of 1t. and to ex- pect too much from this source. We could guarantee a good saving if the women would lend us their aid in cutting our delivery expenses. Every item that goes into the operation of a store of course adds to the cost of the product. and want to tell you that the delivery item is one of the biggest on the books of any retail grocer. We arekstitng on a special motorcycle service for our special orders.
 T do not know of any better N which the women of Birmingham could start campaign to reduce the cost of living"

The United States is in possess sion of death-dealing devices that will let Berlin and ConstantinOple know there is a real war, ac- cOrding to the information that Mrs. G. H.

EMBARGO AGAINST

The dreaded embargoes have even reached Birmingham.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad placed an embargo against the Birming- ham Belt. but lifted it yesterday.
 The contention of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was that the Belt line 'Ras not observing the rules of the return

 it was discovered that the Bir- mi, i'm Belt was observing these meas ures and hence the embargo was lifted.

Treatment for RhizostOnia and Com.
mon Scab In Potatoes.

The three distinct factors relating
TO the potato industry which makes
1t imperative that the grower handle
his seed potatoes in such a way as to
insure the minimum amount OF d.
sease In his crop this season are high
cost of seed. scarcity of labor and
high land rentals.
Rhi2octonia and Common Scab are
TWO Of the diseases affecting the po-
tatoes in this section which can be
controlled to greater or less extent
by treating the seed. The one treat
ment advised is corrosive sublimate,
using four ounces of corrosive subli-
mate to thirty gallons OF water. Even
this treatment is not expected TO COM
pletely kill the rhizoctonia fungus in
spot larger than pin head or to
kill the common scab fungus in the
extremely deep pits occurring on
some OF the infected tubers. Treat
ing seed potatoes for common scab
will not prevent it's appearance II
the tubers are planted on infected
soil.
In preparing the corrosive subli-
mate treatment the corrosive subli-
mate should first be put into solution
tn a gallon or two OF hot water. as
corrosive sublimate goes into solu-
ton slowly in cold water. After the
corrosive sublimate is in solution It
may be poured into the barrel or
wooden vat in which the seed is TO
be treated. To determine the num-

Is best to have the pieces blocky "a

new solution Is used the tubers
should soak for one and one-half
hours. when the solution has been
used once leave the tubers in two
subers In the solution two and one
half hours after which the solution
should be thrown away and a new
one made up. When the seed has
been removed from the treatment 1t
should be quickly dried and set in
the cellar. Do not place treated tu-
bers in sacks which have not been
in the solution. Whole tubers may
be treated several weeks before plant
ing. but for best results potatoes
should not be cut more than five or
six days prior to planting and then
they should be stored so there is no
danger OF heating or excessive dry
ting out.
Corrosive sublimate Is a deadly
poison when taken internally. but
will not affect the bare hands. Do
not feed treated potatoes to stock.

DANIELS GETTING ALONG FINE
WITH MUNITIONS MAKERS


Daniels accomplished wonders with
the munition makers. It might be
premature to say he has them eat
ing out of his hand, but it is worth
noting that he is debating the terms
on which they take the government
contracts, and the terms are fair.
The agreement of the copper pro
ducers to furnish copper to the gov
eminent at about half the current
rate is typical. 1t is expected daily
that announcement will be made that
the producers Of iron and steel pro-
ducts will come through with sim
liar agreement
Barney Baruch, as a member of
the national council of defense, is
handling the matter, and, in spite of
his role in the leak" exposure, Bar
ney deserves great credit for what he
has accomplished with the big cor
poratiOns who control the materials
needed for the construction of bat
tleships, munitions and other war
supplies.
It is the idea of Sec'y Daniels to
buy the raw materials at a price
based on the average of the price cal
culated for a period Of the last ten
years. Then he is prepared to award
the contracts on the basis Of a 10 per
cent profit and to divide the work
among the firms who can push the
work most rapidly. He viii pay pre-
miums for speed and overtime.
The government is concentrating
on the construction of the small craft |
needed for patrol duty. Firms are
taking orders for these submarine !
chasers on the basis of "as many as
they can produce in the next six to
nine months" The more the firm |
produces the more money they will
make.
Big business in this instance is in
spired in part by patriotism and in
part by the knowledge that Sec'y
