MESA GROCERS WILL
 RESUME DELIVERIES

MESA, Feb. 1S.-At a meeting of the grocers of Mesa. held yesterday after noon, it was decided by all present that delivery of groceries to customers would be resumed March 1. There will be one delivery each day and that will be made in the afternoon. All orders received up to noon each day will be handled on the afternoon delivery. No delivery of less than s1 worth of mer- chandise will be made. The grocers find themselves handicapped somewhat just now for the reason that the men they had on their routes are in the army, and it will be necessary to break in new help unless the men get home before March l. The employers have wired the war department asking for the release of the men, inasmuch as they dislike to employ help and then find it necessary to let them out when the soldiers return. However, it is considered likely that any man em- ployed in the delivery can later be transferred to some other department of the store.
 Mesa housewives, and for that mat ter the husbands also, will greet the restoration of the delivery service with great pleasure. It has been a source of inconvenience, either the woman having to make a trip to the store, or the man having to quit his own busi- ness before the noon hour in order to purchase and get the supplies home in time for luncheon.
