AGREE
TO ELIMINATE
DISCOUNTS
Merchants and Manufac-
turers Exempt Employees
Under New Ruling.

With the beginning Of today's
business. ban is on discounts of
every character save those to en-
ployes, according to q statement is
sued last night from the ONCE of
the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association.
Such ruling was adopted by the
association some months ago and
when the rule was unanimously
adopted. II was arranged to have
It take effect May /. 1913.
This Is a great boon to the buy
ink public" said President N. A
Leese. The practice of giving a
preferential discount to members
Of associations and organizations
for that purpose has been of long
standing. It was the result of mis-
guided competition in trade, but I
am happy to announce that the
business interests of Washington
have realized the unfairness of this
practice and that the Merchants
and Manufacturers' Association has
taken the lead in crushing out this
trade parasite.
ct am sure that It was never the
desire Of the business men to do an
unfair act. but rather that this
practice grew like the proverbial
Topsy.' or Just because "the other
fellow was doing it." ...
Discounts to Organisations Of
any kind are unfair. Business must
serve all OF the public alike. There
can be no discrimination for any
reason. One man or one woman's
dollar must be as good and have
the same purchasing power as an
other regardless of whether they
may happen to be affiliated with an
organisation. be It what It may.
I'VE believe that II Is especially.
important that this rule should be
put into effect at this time, since
Washington Is now the home Of .
tremendous population Of compare
tive strangers.
'~The Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association is very much in
terested in this matter. 1t believes
this rule to be the ultimate in prin-
ciple and fair dealing.
There must be one price to all
and that 10 not possible where any
part Of the buying public is allowed
Q preferential discount"

r Plaintiff Ayers.

Edith L. Brown brought suit IN
the Equity Courts yesterday for a
limited divorce and alimony from
Walter NJ. Brown, naming a CO.
respondent. Defendant is engaged
in business In the Center Market
According to the complaint, the two
were married here October & 1899,
and four children were born, of
whom Mrs. Brown asks the custody.
Mrs. Brown AYERS that she paid
the wedding expenses and has since
advanced her husband money to the
extent Of 5000. and sums up by de-
claring that "the attitude of the de-
fendant toward the plaintiff was
never prompted by affection, but that
his sole object apparently was to
consume and dissipate the plafntifrs
patrimony."
She alleged that January 8. 1915.
her husband deserted her after leav-
ing her to live In sparsely settled
suburban neighborhood where she
was exposed to danger.

CLERKS BUYING W. S. S.
] HELPSSALES GROWTH

The purchase of war savings and
thrift stamps continues to grow,
especially in the various government
departments. During the week of
April "a, the employees of the Navy
Department purchased stamps to the
amount Of s2,36s. This makes the
Navy Department total $50, $40.
Chairman Frank Bauskett, of the
war saEings committee in the State
Department, reports good sales among
the clerks. Although the sales In this
department have not been as large as
those OF the various other branches
of the government, the fact that there
are only $50 employees in this depart
ment makes the record stand well
among the other branches.

Farmers of the sections about Odessa,
Port Penn, Delaware City and this town
are very much concerned about the
building OF the proposed munition plant
at Port Penn as it is feared it will take
wrat little available labor there is now
on the farms.
There is shortage of labor Of at
least 30 per cent on the farms, and on
every side are heard exaggerated stories
of the fabulous wages that will be made
at the plant when completed The con-
tractors have begun tearing down the
buildings and drilling wells on the farms
which the government has taken pos
session of at Port Penn.
Farmers here are now paying the
highest wages ever known in the coun-
try for farm work-from $40 to $50 per
month, and in addition the farmers
keapi"g horse for each man, and in
many cases are furnishing them with a
hog or two and truck patch, in addi-
ton to house rent. In the face Of
these wages many of the men are quit
ting their monthly jobs and demanding
work at 81 per day, telling the farmers
they can easily obtain work at Port
Penn at IA per day.

Eat Potatoes-Save Wheat

Is there anyone in Delaware who does
not know
That there is big surplus of potatoes?
That the Southern crop will soon add to
the surplus?
That farmers were asked last summer
to plant and they did?
That the surplus is waiting customers ?
That potatoes will take the place of
wheat?
That unless our wheat goes to the
armies abroad the boys in the
fighting line must try to win the
war on empty stomachs?
Europe does not need to share our
potatoes. They are too bulky to ship
at this time when ships must be saved
for troops and for the most essential
and concentrated foods. Therefore the
best form Of patriotism is to eat our
bumper crop and make it help save
wheat.

Red Cross

In these days of house cleaning and
gardening the loyal women of Middle
town have not forgotten the call of the
Red Cross.
1000 absorbent pads, 1000 front line
packets, 324 5-yard rolls, 101 pneumonia
jackets, 40 scultetus bandages.
The above has been made in our
work-rooms and if you were out on the
street about 9 a. m. Monday, April
29th. your heart would have thrilled as
YOU saw the ''Red Cross Truck" loaded
inside and outside with these much
needed dressings. The May quota,
larger than that of April, must be met.
Not that we ask our regulars to do
more, but we do want many volunteers.
There will be more American boys in
the hospitals of France in May than in
April. We believe word to the wise
is sufficient
The rooms will be open every after
noon, including Saturday, except Tues
day; also, Tuesday and Friday evenings

Middletown transcript. [volume] (Middletown, Del.) 1868-current, 1918-05-04

During the month of April one hun
dred and seventeen articles have been
knitted by the women of Middletown.
Considering the enormous demand,
especially for socks, this amount should
be three times larger and then some.
Mayor Boehm Canadian just from
the front says:
1.-The British and French have lost
many thousands of effective men from
their forces by the disease known as
trench feet, which is a form of incipient
frostblte, perfectly possible without any
frost. And now that American soldiers
are going into the trenches they will
suffer in their turn, and will be in
thousands of cases disabled from this
cause unless we prevent it.
Against this evil there is no protection
except warm woolen stockings-and
woolen stockings in abundanee-even in
lavishness, the men should have. Our
women can help them to possess these.
We can send the boys no more packages
direct, but the Red Cross stands ready
to supply them with such needed arti-
cles. Let the women knit stockings
with all their might, and knit them day
and night and by the hundreds and
Thousands.
