P, S< A grocer in Fond du Lac, Wis., has introduced an interesting sys tem. He calls it the “cash and carry system.” If his customers pay cash for their goods he throws otf 5 per cent. If they carry their purchases hnme -he throws oil another 5 per cent. If the family’s grocery bill is $25 a month that means a saving of $2.50 —which would make a tidy addition to the savings bank balance. The plan, it. is reported, takes well with this grocer’s customers. More over, he is tickled with it himself. It saved him the expense of putting on more delivery wagons, which he would have had to do if ho hadn’t adopted the system. It has increased his trade. It has given him tho benefit of cash in the till Instead of credit on the books. It seems to be beneficial all around. It isn’t exactly new, of course. There are shops that do something like the same thing; that is, by sell ing for cash only and doing no de livering, they can and do sell goods cheaper, and many take advantage of the opportunity to be thrifty. The cost of living is vastly higher than it used to be before the days of credit and telephone ordering, when mother used to put a basket on her arm and go shopping. And one of the reasons why the cost of living is higher is that credit and delivery both cost money which, of course, the consumers have to pay.—Duluth Herald. Bethlehem’s Bid on Shells for the United States Navy To the American People: The Secretary of the Navy baa awarded contracts nmnunting hi over^*3.000,000 to a British bidder for 14 and 16-inch projectiles for the Navy bccuuae of very much lower prices ottered by the b'nglish bidders. We know nothing of the bHsia upon whiuh the British bids were made, hut the pub lic in entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work. Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,200 14-lncli shells at a price of $1,515,000. Up to now not a single shell has been ac cepted by the Government, al though we have expended, in wages, materials, etc., on these orders $522,881, and we have not received a SINGLE DOLLAR on ftheao contracts. la addition, ■ Hjaral Interpretation of Lb* contract might make u.t liable for penalUee amouutins lo $678,016. In the light of our experience, and hav ing no other basis, we bid for 16-inch shells approximately the same rate per pound as that which the Navy Depart ment actually awarded a 14-mch shell contract one year ago.
