HARDWARE AND FURNITURE
Merchants and Grocerymen Fix Two
O'Clock in the Afternoon az the
Hour of Delveries--Co-operation of
Patrons Asked.

At the meeting of the grocery mer-
chants of Columbia Wednesday after-
noon at two o'clock at the Maury Ma
tional Bank it was voted that the only
delivery each day would begin at two
O'clock sharp. All orders for the de-
livery must be in the store not later
than one-thirty, and all orders re-
ceived after that hour will not be de-
livered until the next afternoon.
This is direct in line with the re-
Quirements of the governments war
The groceryma: selecting
this hour as the most suited to all
parties concerned. They figure that
a house keeper can order Der dinner
vegetables today for tomorrow, just
as easy as she can order them at nine
or ten O'Clock and expect them to be
delivered within ten MINUTES after the
order is given
The custom of sending around the
wagons every morning and taking or
ders will no longer be ;rdulged in
after the fourth of the present month.
This has been one of the banes of tho.
grocery merchants life and existence.
This under the orders is classed as a
useless and extravagant waste of man
power.
The hardware and furniture mer-
chants met this morning and adopted
two o'clock in the afternoon as their
hour of delivery. The different
stores will begin sending out goods
over the different routes at this hour
and all orders to be delivered must
be in by two o'clock or same will be
carried over until the next day.
The dry goods merchants also met
this morning and selected two hours
for delivery. The morning. delivery
commencing at ten O'CLOCK and covers
the territory north of West Seventh
street The other and last delivery
commences at three o'clock and en-
braces that portion of the city south
of and including all of Wcct Seventh
street
Make your arrangements to meet
these conditions. Make the work as
light as. possible upon your merchant
who is doing everything IN his power
tc carry out every wish of the govern
ment in the war measures You can
make it either easy for nim or hard
for him, just as you please. If you
make it easy for him, you are doing
your bit. If you are arbitrary and con-
trary about your orders, then you are
making trouble for your merchant and
nent and will be so reported to the
department at Nashville, and from
there it will go on to the seat of gov
crnment at Washington. Be patri-
otic and lend your assistance. Get
your orders in on time. Do not take
en- articles on trial. Try them on in
the stores, but should you be COM
PEELED to send things home ON ap-
.provaI, be sure that you rotuyn those
that you do not keep before the third
day expires. If you do not, then you
are in trouble.

French Confident of
Checking Hun Advance

PARIS. March Pin conversation
with deputies who surrounded him in
the lobby before the chamber as
sembled this morning Premier C6m-
enceau declared that never was Aon-
fidence more justified than now.
According to the latest news from
the front. the force Of the German at
tack seems to have been diminished
by the deadly struggle of the last few
days. Yesterdays onslaught was far
from having the same violence as
those which preceded 1t.
The Franco British high command
is taking advantage Of the respite to
prepare for battles which the allies
will deliver at their own time and on
the most favorable ground.
Deputies who took part in earlier
campaigns express the opinion that If
the Germans can be held for 48 hours
more their offensive will prove to have
been checked.

Won LUDENDoRFF
SAYS PROGRESS
FOLLOWED Plan

AMSTERDAM. March 27.--In an In
terview which Ia published In the
Volks Zeitung of Coloane General Won
Ludendorff says:
THE course OF the battle goes ex-
actly as It was planned. and as it was
hoped II would go. The infantry has
completely maintained the spirit with
which 1t entered the war in 1914. and
this will bring further successes. al
though the enemy Is still strong and
fights with determination.
1--WE have succeeded In changing
the fighting from position warfare to
warfare of movement. although the at
tacker had everything against him
and the defender had strong defens-
i've means in his favor. Undoubtedly
the British use machine guns with
such skill For instance they con-
struct subterranean corridors, starting
from trenches, in which machine guns
are planted Such installations can
not be observed by our artillery. and
in foggy weather especially cannot be-
reached. Our infantry had to take all
these machine gun nests, scattered ev.
erywhere over the battle field.
Men Move Fast.
"Our men advanced with great
speed, so that it was difficult to fol
low them with tired horses and dam.
aged carts. but the spirit Of the men
is splendid.
THE preparations for the battle
meant two months Of strenuous labor.
In the beginning Of February. the or
der was given and on the night Of
March 1921. the attack was begun.
right to the minute. Everything was
ready. We see the result"
The German war correspondents
agree that General Won Ludendorff
made the plans for the German Of
fensive. the Copenhagen correspon,
dent of the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany reports. The general on Friday
was present at the scene OF action in
order personally 10 control the at.
tacks.
German great headquarters. the cor

tablished in an old castle near st.
Quentin, which Is visited daily by the

County Agent Project
Assured of Success

Township trustees and representa-
tives of school boards from Richmond,
Cambridge City, Centerville. Hagers-
town and Dublin, were to meet We'd
nesday morning in the office of the
county superintendent of schools, but
on account of the fact that a quorum
could not be constituted the meeting
was postponed until next Wednesday.
April 3.
The purpose of the meeting was to
decide whether Wayne county would
appoint an agricultural agent to teach
the scientific principles of farming in
the rural districts.
The expense of such an office is
trivial to the county, the state and
national government meeting the big
gest share of such expense.
James Kline, of Howe. Ind. grad
uate OF Purdue University, was here
Wednesday, and will probably be the
agent appointed if the office is estab-
lished. Calvin F.. Mcintosh assistant
county agent leader for the federal
government, stationed at Purdue Uni
versity. was here to represent the
state.

German Mystery Gun
Explained in Paris

PARIS, March 27.--The calbre of
the shells that are being fired into
Paris by the German long range gun
Is IS inches and the length of the
shell is 20 inches. L'Homme Libre,
Premier Clemenceau's newspaper now
states. The shell weighs 200 pounds
and contains less than 20 pounds OF
explosives.
The shell is provided with fuse
protected by threaded stopper and
has diaphragm inside which divides
the shell into two compartments OF
unequal size. Two holes in the dia-
phragm affords communication be-
tween the two pockets. These facts
are accepted as an explanation of the
two explosions which on occasion have
followed in quick succession and which
led TO the belief that two guns were
firing.
