CONSIDER CONSERVATION.
Provision Dealers to Determine Single
Delivery System.

Whether or not dealers Of the county,
who make delivery of merchandise
shall combine in joint movement io'
the elimination of cost and labor IN
saving deliveries, is to be determined
by the store owners themselves. Ihey
first considered il when 200 of them
met at the call of L. c. Abbott, coun-
" food administrator. at the Marshall
town Club Friday night. The size OF
the attendance, which represented d
very large percentage OF all retali anu
wholesale dealers in groceries, hour'
meats and other foodstuffs. was only
one indication of the eager loyalty OF
these men from all over the county as
well as the city.
The proposal was made that all prl-
vate delivery systems be abolished. ana
that all dealers unite in single deilV-
cry system with a limit of one delivery
a day. The movement is national. 10
conserve man power, and to reduce the
overhead cost of the dealer, and thus
lower the cost to the consumer. The
meeting adopted a resolution instruct
ing Mr.. Abbott to appoint 9, commit
tee of five. consisting of three Srocers
lines. to Investigate and report on the
feasibility of the plan. Later the FOOD
dealers will meet the county defense
council on the plan, which will prob
ably result in plan for one delivery a
day Of all merchandise, which is being
strongly urged by the national defense
council.
Some proposed revision of rules gov
ernng the marketing of flour and
staples, which are being especially con-
served were discussed. The county
food commission is gratified with the
cheerful loyalty that retailers are
showing in conforming the conduct OF
their business to meet the extra ordl :
nary demands of war conditions. which.
in many cases, are bringing new bur
dens on the dealers. There is little or
no complaining, and all are doing
whatever they can to aid in the food
conservation movement.

improvements at Home

State Architect J. F. Liebbe, Of De1
Moines, spent the day at the soldiers
home, preparing to make plans for i'm
provements to be completed this sea-
son. These include a small store
building for the sutler, Fred Foster
the installation of new high pres
sure boiler. automatically stocked. and
some repairs in the main building
The general assembly, winter before
last, appropriated $4,000 for three new
boilers for the home, to replace those
now worn out. Prices advanced sc
rapidly that. sefore the board of con-
troll had the money available, 1t was
found the appropriation would buy
only two boilers and install them. The
purchase was put of on account OF
high prices and now it is found tina.
the appropriation will do not much
more than buy and install one boiler.
