MERCHANTS ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO TAKE
GOODS INTO STOCK
AFTER IT HAS BEEN HELD OUT
MORE THAN THREE DAYS
ON APPROVAL.
RULINGS OF S. C. OF n. 0.
Interesting Facts VIII Be Presented
To Merchants Tonight at the Meet
ings to be Held at Eight O'Clock q:
Maury National Bank.

Some very valuable information
has been secured from the chairman
OF the committee on commercial econ
omy, C. C. Gilbert, at Nashville, which
will be read before the Columbia Re-
tail Credit Association at its meeting
to be held tonight at eight o'clock ir
the offices of the Maury National
Bank at which time the question of
the delivery system will be fully dis.
cussed.
The following extract IS taken from
letter received at this office today
from Mr.. Gilbert:
IN regard to merchants sending for
packages, do not fully understand
what you mean, but this surely comes
under to delivery transaction and as
there can be no special deliveries
made, neither can the merchant send
for special packages, in other words,
after August 5th a merchant can only
send his wagon or delivery boy over
a certain route one time each day.
After the wagon or delivery boy has
covered the route it can neither de-
liver special package or go for one,
so you see the rule of the Government
works both ways. For example, II
Mrs. Jones, has package she wishes
to return to the store she can only
return that package when the wagon
or delivery boy comes to make its
regular daily delivery. If she fails
to see the wagon or boy then she
must return any package she has
taken on approval by some other con
veyance, and that package must be
returned within three days or else the
merchant will not be permitted to
take it back in stock.
I'm reference to merchants who fail
to comply with the requests of the
Government. beg to say that l have
been instructed by the Conservati N
Division of the War Industries az
Washington to forward the names Of
any and all merchants who refuse or
fails to adopt the recommendation
of the Government, and .hat the mat,
ter will be handled from there. l Will
say in this connection that have
only sent two or three names to
Washington, and in those instances it
has only required one letter to these
merchants to have them adopt immt-
diately the Governments recommend
atoms regarding deliveries. These
are war measures and You know how
much power the Government has in
putting these recommendations into
effect"
A special representative Of the com
mittee will be appointed in Columbia
whose duties it shall be TO see that
no merchant violates any of these
rules as sent out by the council.
This appointment will be announced
later.

CORN CLUB BOY WORKS

ton is shown by the example Of one
corn club boy near Milton, Rutherford
county. When the county agent, r.
L. Robinson, went to see the boy he
thought the advisability OF the boy
entering the club doubtful, for the
land on which he would have to grow
the corn was rocky and full Of stumps.
AS a result of the boys activity this
season he has a pile Of rocks six feet
high, six by twenty feet on tho
ground, which he has taken off the
acre Of land. Six big loads Of stumps
have also been taken off the acre. Tho
boy got late start with his corn be-
cause he had so much preliminary
work to do, but his corn now looks
fine, and he has good chance Of COM
peting successfully with the other
boys.

BEGIN ROUNDUP
Of SLACKERS ALL
OVER TENNESSEE
POLICE AND OTHER LAW Off.
GALS TO ASSIST MAJ.
RUTLEDGE SMITH.
SHOW CLASSIFICATION CARDS
SIackers Day of Grace Is Nearing Its
End-Will Have to do Service for
His Country as Well as Being SIN
gled Out as Dodger.

Police and other law officers of the
state are to begin at once drive to
round up all the slackers.
Chief Barthell intends to find every
Stacker in Nashville at once, and has
asked Major Rutledge Smith to in
struct registrants as to their duty.
Every man must have on his person
at all times his classification card
Registrars will be asked to show
their cards at any moment and at
every corner
The man who has registered and
who has his card on his person will
present it when the officers ask for
it, and he will be glad to do so as a
means of aiding the police in locating
those who are attempting to dodge
service. The Stacker will be caught,
and the man who has registered will
not be inconvenience. Yet he must
have his card so that the police may
not be hampered in their work Of
rounding up the slackers
If a registrant has by any accident
lost his card, it is his duty to at once
apply to his local board for state
ment to the effect that he has been
classified. Duplicate cards can not
be issued, but statement from the
Board, duly signed and authenticated
will be sufficient to protect regis
trants whose cards have been lost.
The drive against the Stacker is to
be begun at once in all towns and
cities in Tennessee, and you may cx-
pect at any time to be called upon 10
show your card. Have it ready at all
times, and avoid probable arrest In
event a man is unable to present his
card he will be arrested and taken
to police station, where he will be
held for government authorities. + s
The man who has a classification
card in his pocket is proud of having
it, and will not hesitate to present it
when called upon by the police. There
need be no surprise at being asked
for your card several times day, for
the fact that one office HAS seen the
registrant's card is no indication that
all know he is properly registered.
So when called on for your card, no
matter how frequently this demand
may be made, hand it out cheerfully,
and help the officers to find the men
for whom they are searching-the
slackers. They do not want you if
you have your credentials; they simp-
ly want to know who has such creden-
tials.
The slacker's day of grace is near.
ing it's end He will have to do SER
vice for his country, as we'll as be
singled out as man willing to dodge
his duty when other young men are
freely offering their lives in the cause
Major Smith is determined that no
slackers shall escape, and officers OF
the law are equally determined to
round up such people.
Bear in mind that loss OF card car
be easily remedied by securing a
