1t would be mere commOn-sense
policy to establish a cantonment near
Tampa where the men could train in
health and comfort, without the tire
mendous expense for fuel that must
be incurred in Northern camps. The
benefits of army training camps in
Florida particularly that the winter
season is approaching, would be oh
vious to the war authorities if they
only were informed as to conditions
in this State.

A statement appears elsewhere in
this paper, signed by most of the
city's grocers, giving notice that at
the end of this month they will dis
continue delivery of goods to their
customers. This is simple act OF
conservation that is entirely justified
by conditions and ought to work to
the advantage of all. 1t is only in
comparatively recent years that peo-
pie have been spoiled by having their
purchases brought to their doors
They used to get along quite well
without deliveries until the modern
tendency to do nothing that one could
induce others to do for him became
so pronounced. In normal times de-
livery systems are a convenience or a
luxury that may be INDUCED in. but
they may we'll be dispensed with in
these times of war and stress. We
gather from what we can learn Of the
matter that it costs the grocer ar
average of about five per cent. on hi:
gross sales to make deliveries, If thC
abolition of these deliveries will re
suit in saving of five per cent. t.
the consumer on his grocery bill, /
is we'll worth while. If there ar
people who insist that it is too mucl
trouble to take home their groceries
1t is probable that some one ma
start a delivery system that will serv
all the stores. In some places sue
