To HOLD ECONOMY
MEET NEXT WEEK
HooSierS Will Attend Inform

Saving in All Lines.
News-Times Special Service:

News-Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-Myer
Heller Of Newcastle, a member OF
the Merchants Economy section of
the Indiana state council of defense.
viii attend the informal conference
Of the state merchant representa-
tives of the United States food ad-
ministration at the Hotel Astor,
New York. Feb. 5th.
The conference was suggested by
Mr.. Heller and its purpose is TO de-
velOp an educational campaign OF
appeal TO all retail merchants 10 CO
operate with the economy program
OF the food administration.
Reports have been received from
Indiana retailers in cities of two
thousand or more population, in
dOrsing the plan of curtailing de-
liveries, eliminating and restricting
return privileges and c. o. d. or
ders. introducing cooperative de-
liveries and disseminating entirely
the sending of goods on approval In
many communities the way has been
prepared for the complete inaugur-
alton of the reforms contemplated
by the Indiana state council of de-
fCnse in its resolution calling on
county councils Of defense to coop
crate with the merchant represen-
tatives in doing what the council of
national defense deems desirable
and necessary.
The campaign for simpler deliv-
cry service was started by the ma
tiOnal economy board last summer. -
said Fred NJ Ayres Its direct and
immediate purpose was TO conserve
labor for war purposes. 1t was de-
sired that merchants who had lost
delivery-men through the draft
would not be called upon to replace
them from a limited labor supply
available for farming, munitions
making, shipbuilding, railroads. and
other vital industries. With one de-
livery day, no special deliveries,
except at the customers cost cur
tailment of G. .. ID. privileges, and
approval orders, and in smaller
communities the establishment of
cooperative delivery systems, were
considered as the possible way of
accomplishing the desired results.
Eighty cities in the country have
already adopted and are observing
the commercial economy program.
They deliver but once day, restrict
special deliveries, and they have
found it both increasingly profitable
and satisfactory both to themselves
and the customers. Up to this time
10 towns with cooperative delivery
systems report savings on this phase
of their overhead expense of one
half.
The saving, however. is inciden-
tai, and although it is bound TO be
reflected, ultimately, in a slightly re-
duced schedule of prices, the big
outstanding feature Of the program
is the federal governments desire
to eliminate as nearly as possible
all unnecessary labor in order that
war industries may he operated 10
their fullest capacity without havins
TO compete with other demands for
labor. 1t is this patriotic appeal that
should actuate every merchant and
every patron of a retail store in ad-
iusting themselves to these business
reforms"

Bulgarian ruler with the second
daughter OF the Emperor Frederick

Prince Alexander Of Bulgaria met.
not at Windsor, but at Darmstadt,
the Princess Victoria The young
persons, who were both pleasant
and attractive fell in love with each
other. and the then German crown
princess. who was always in favor
of marriage of affection, looked with
most favorable eyes on this idyll,
for it could hardly be called any
thing else. At that time. the posi-
ton Of Prince Alexander was al
ready precarious. and his relations
with Russia and the Car Alexander
III were anything but cordial. A
marriage with a Prussian princess.
