w. S. S. FLAG.
Leads to Rush on Grocery When
Lad Says it Means I'VE
Sell Sugar"

In spitc of the fact that the w. 8. s.
flag has been flying for two months IL
is still mystery to a number of people.
A very amusing incident happened
in ono Of the Wilmington grocery stores a
few days ago when there was an unusuaI,
and for time, unexplainabc rush Of
customers. Il WAS market day and
NIL at once women began tn crowd into
tho store. They came singly and in
groups. The counters were lined and
clerks were buster than they had been
for long time.
This store displays the War-Saving,
Stamp flag and the stamp booth inside
thrvod for while but this business
seemed to be merely incidental for many
of the women appeared not to have any
idea Of buying stamps. The rush con-
tinued for an hour and at times the store
was so crowded that would-be customers
were compelled 20 await their turn on
tho sidewalk.
The rush stopped almost as suddenly
ms il began and The store proprietors Ind
breathing spell during which they dis
cussed the mystery of the great rush in
trade Then IL WAS that they found that
n small hoy who had been engaged in
cleaning the sldwalk of SNOW Was Mt the
bottom of the whole thing A group Of
women had asked him the meaning of
the W S = sign and he, with tho quick
wit Of an American youth. had told
them in NIL seriousness that it meant

FIVE DOLLAR BILLS

War Saving Stamps Prove as Good
an Investment as Other Thrift
Accounts.

in five years, at 4 per cent compounded

eouragng To the managers of the War
Savings Stamp campaign. Henry y.
Scott, the State director Of the campaign,

bonds. The law prohibits ono person
holding more than 81 900 worth but this
citizen will make an Investment for him
self. his wife and eight other members Of
his family Many such subscriptions az
this, Mr.. Scott says. are needed to make
up Delaware's full quota of more than
81 500, 900; for it il realized that the
per capita subscription of $50 is goal
hard to attain.
