CASH AND CARRY
AFTER AUGUST |
Deliveries Will Be Made
But the Customer Must
Pay.

Some Of the Fairmont grocery stores
will 90 on a cash and carry basis on
the first Of August. Following is a
letter which one establishment is send.
ing to its customers, announcing the
change in policy:
To Our Customers and Friends:
We wish to announce that begin
ming August LIST. we will conduct our
store on q strictly cash and carry ba-
sis. This is in line with government
request and the ever increasing de-
and from consumers for lower prices.
II may not be patent to most Of you
that prices can be lowered by selling
for cash and disseminating free deliv-
cries, but IL has been demonstrated
time and again, and here are some OF
the reasons:
% A large amount is lost through
bad accounts. or persons who do not
pay their bills.
(2) It requires an investment Of
from 81 900 to $4,000 to carry GUS
toners accounts Figuring this aver
age $4,000 at 6 per cent. is an initial
saving Of 1920 per year. and by having
this money to meet bills promptly. dis
counts amounting to several hundred
dollars a year may be saved.
az A large amount is lost through
forgotten charge. and the occasional
loss Of charge slips. Also many errors
are made in charging accounts.
90 A great saving will be effected
through the discontinuance Of the use
Of sales slips. Also the money now
tied up in a credit system can be used
for other purposes.
Many other reasons can be advanced
in favor Of the cash system.
You will be benefited by a saving in
the merchandise you buy. as we will
be enabled to sell you most items for
less money. Just q few items cannot
be sold any cheaper than they are
now. as the profits set by the govern
ment are usually based on cash prices
Some things will be sold little cheap
er. but most articles can be sold for a
great deal less than they are now
Compare the prices you are paying
now with those we will put into effect
August LIST, and you will find that you
will save an entire months grocery
bill In years time.
We will continue the delivery OF
goods over certain routes at specified
times. but a minimum charge OF &c will
be made for each delivery. and a great
or charge will be made for special
deliveries. depending upon the size of
the order and the distance from the
store.
We hope that all our customers will
take kindly to our change in method
OF doing business and continue to deal
with US as usual. At any rate give IL
n trial. as the cash and carry plan Is
endorsed by the government as war
measure. and by your own Fair Price
committee as saving in the cost OF
food.
All accounts will be closed the last
day OF July. and thereafter no excep.
tons will be made TO the rule Of
Strictly Cash and One Price 10 All"
We sincerely thank you all for past
favors. and trust that you will at least
give US a trial under our new plan.

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE. June ls.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press) - Shipping
and countersniping has been reduced
to a fine art in modern warfare. and
the shGrpshooter uses many other
branches OF the service TO assist him.
An incident which occurred a few
days ago in the British lines in Elan.
ders shows how little artillery work
Is sometimes necessary in bringing
about the undoing OF the German snip.
ers.
Lieutenant Jackson. battalion snip.
ing officer. was walking down the
trench when he heard a sudden rattle
OF misketry.-German bullets striking
one Of the British sniping plates. One
OF his sniping posts was being batter.
ed by German armor.jiercing bullets
The officer hurried to the scene and
with his periscope located the spot
where the Germans were firing. II
was big post on some ground behind
the enemy firing line. hidden with
earth and looking exactly like any one
OF the other tangled hummocks with
which shells and mines had strewn the
vicinity But HIS trained eye quickly
marked out four small apertures which
he knew TO be loop-holes. The excel.
lence OF his periscope even enabled
him 10 see the puffs OF unburned pow
der which came from the four hostile
rifles at every shot.
They are behind concrete and steel
under that surface mud. sir" said the
sergeant. 1T won't be easy dealing
with them"
Its q case for the heavy artillery.
I'm afraid" murmured Lieutenant
jackson regretfully,-he disliked call
ing in any outside assistance for his
snipers.
II saw the Major OF that heavy bat.
terry which covers us. going By a mo-
ment ago." suggested the sergeant.
Lieutenant Jackson hurried of down
the trench and found the Major who
was up on a survey Of the enemy line
for special targets A hint OF what
had developed brought the Major
back. and a minute later he was in
the nearest signal dugout, telephoning
instructions to his battery.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson beck.
oned the sergeant away out OF the
Majors hearing. Put Haggarty and
Brown into Post .. Sergeant" he or
dered. 81 don't think the Germans
have any day communication into that
post OF theirs, and they will have to
bolt for cover over the ridge"
Presently the first heavy projectile
came rumbling up from the rear. II
burst fifty yards wide in a great
splash OF earth. The second shell burst
in the German firing line. right IN
front Of the sniping post, and tore a
huge gap IN the parapet. The third
FELL right on top Of the post itself. But
The concrete OF the structure was
'trong. and the shell actually ricochet.
ed clear and burst several yards away.
THAT has frightened them" ex.
claimed the Major suddenly. as four
figures appeared from behind the snip
ing post and raced madly for the crest
Of the ridge. Just then a shot rang
out from the British trench. and the
first German pitched forward on his
face The second fell a yard further
on. The remaining two were dropped
as they reached the crest.
