DELAY IN THE DELIVERY
OF SURPLUS ARMY FOOD
Residents Who Bargained for Sup
plies Now Demand Goods or
Refund Of Money.

WINCHESTER. Va, September b.
Residents of Winchester and vicinity
who undertook to grapple with the
high cost Of living by paying in ad-
vance for surplus Army foodstuffs. Of
fered for sale at attractive prices
through the local post Offices about
month ago, are now clamoring fo-
the government grocery store to de-
liver the goods or refund the money.
The foodstuffs. 1t was represented at
the time. were stored in Baltimore
only 112 miles distant-and it was the
impression that deliveries would be
made in q short time. certainly within
a week. Many people OF moderate
means had whetted their appetites
for fried bacon, for which there was
the greatest demand. as we'll as for
clean raisins in pies. together with
numerous other commodities that
were guaranteed to have been prop
erly inspected by government experts.
Now the people have neither the
food nor the money, and the local
post office ss being besieged with in
quiries. The more optimistic give
the assurance that the government
always pays it's bills. but it is recalled
that there still are pending in fed
eral courts claims filed shortly after
the close Of the civil wa-. The people
who ordered goods and who have re-
ceived none intend to ask their rep
resentative in Congress, Judge Har-
rison. to start an inquiry in their be-
half.
