A GOVERNMENT REQUEST
Curtailment of Itolivery Service; Strict
' > Economy Urged.
? t -
The retail grocer* t>f Camden have
Ik-hmi asked to pledge adheraueo to
the policy of the United St a ten Food
Administration.
it Is recommended that retail gro
cers discontinue the soliciting of or
ders during the war. It la recom
mended that they al.so limit 'all de
liveries to one a day to any ono fam
ily or ou any one route.
. The .most strict ecouomy la urged
In the con d not of all retail grocery
stores, with constant effort to elimi
nate all waste and extravagant meth
ods to the end that Ltme, euergy, fuel,
equipment and men may l>e conserved,
and thai wholesome food may bo
placed In the hands of consumers at
tho lowest possible prices.
It^ls urged" that nil food products,
where jpopsiblo, Ih> s<?ld by weight In
reasonably large quant it los, for rash
only.
? It Is up to onr citizenship to see
that these rules and regulations are
compiled with; they are war measures
which our government can enforce,
hut "preC^rs that patriotic i>eople will
adopt them willingly and cheerfully.
The grocer* are anxious to comply
with these reasonable requests, but
do not wish to l?e placed In a ixisltlon
of .dictating to theli customers,, so
vyou. |4oe4At |s really up to us to see
tWf tltio?se recommendations o| our
are carried out.
We can well afford to make the slight
sacrifices called for In these regulations
(In order to aid our government, and
we should begin Immediately to adapt
ourselves to the changed conditions
which war time economy Imposes on
us.
Make a start irOw, and see if you
cannot arrange t(j help meet these
demands. Try ordering supplies so
that one delivery a aay will be suf
ficient, to ' the end that the stores In
our city may adopt this rule and ob
serve it faithfully In the future.
Let your grocer know that you are
willing to help our government Jn
thi^ or any other way. Jfivery gallon
of gasoline and every bit of horse feed
that can be saved by curtailing the
delivery service will be that much
.saved to carry on the war.
Make it possible for the grocers to
announce a once-a-day delivery ser
vice on and after February 1st. You
can make this possible. Will you?
BLANKS WITH DEALERS
Auto Owners Can Obtain Same From
Deafer* or Clerk of Court.
For the information of automobile
owners who desire to take out their
license for 1918 the Highway Depart
ment states that a supply of applica
tion blanks for 1918 have been for
warded to every dealer, in the State,
and also a supply has been sent to
the Clerk of Court of every county.
Owners can obtain same by applyiug
to these dealers, or to the Clerks of
Court, and thus save considerable time,
as in most cases -they can obtain the
necessary Information as to the horse
power of their automobile; the motor
number, the model, style and such in
formation required by the Highway
Department before the licence can be
issued. A simple reference to the
1917 license number is not sufficient
and an application must be filled out
and sent In for each , motor vehicle.
As the time is getting very short
and no authority is given any one man
in the State, or to any group of men,
save the Legislature, to extend the
time limit It would be wise for all
owners of motor vehicles to make ap
plication promptly so as to get their
license plate at tte earliest possible
moment. Up to Saturday night, Jan
uary 19th, less than half of the li
censes issued for 1917 have been taken
ont foi* 1918, and though the Highway
Department is working over time they
will not be able to issue all licenses
before February 1st However, this
\yill be too excuse for automobile own
ers and under the law they connot
operate tbeir motor vehicles without
the 1918 lleeose plate on same, whether
they have made applfcation for their
license or pot.
