ANNUAL DELIVERY BILL IS A MILLION Elimination of Useless Delivery Ifring Promoted by Food Administration? I CoL Bob Kelnhardt a Champion. anmial,1Tx^ ' pense of dellvetCig groceries and oth er mere hand is ami the cities and t&wns ,of North Carolina is well over aVflV lion dollars, according to officials <4 the Food Administration who have been investigating the problem and who declare that more than half of this expense is unnecessary. Scores of stores operating two and three nnd four delivery wagons or trucks could dispose of all excent one. flvinp- ah?n. lutely rigid routes and hours of deliv ery for their territory. The Food Administration from the very first has encouraged the '"Cash Sand Carry" n\ethod of doing business and with the labor shortage becorn j ing more and more acute all the time lit is promoting in every way possible I the elimination of all the man power. J horse power, gasoline and other ex penses of delivery. | State Food Administrator Henry A. i Page's attitude with regard to the !conservation of labor is well known. I No able bodied man, in Mr. Page's ! opinion, has any business working at a job which could be tilled, and | would bo gladly Pl.let^, by patriotic [women and girls. The elimination of one-half the deltrery service In North Carolina could be easily accomplished in the opinion of Mr. Page and this would add several hundred able-bod led men and boys to the available sup ply of labor which Is needed In essen tial industries. This has already been ftccompltahed In a large measure by | the hotels and restaurants through ?the substitution of girls and women for men waiters and by a similar pro jcess in other industries. There is a .very noticeable trend In this direction I Col. R. S. Kelnhardt, not only fa thered a resolution In the recent con ference of County Food Adminlstra^ rs.at Raleigh, declaring it the sense the conference that all delivery ser vice should be curtailed to tho greatest extent possible but he has taken the matter up with merofiants of his own town and the stores of Lincolnton as a whole are putting into practical ope ration the Colonel's ideas. Tho result will be a material addition to the la- j bor supply available to the farms and Industries of Lincoln County and Lin colnton. Similar movements are In progress in other cities and coun ties of the State and there Is little doubt but that the propaganda and In fluence of the Food Administration .the FRENCH AND ITALIANS ACTIVE IN ALBANIA They Continue Their Successes Again st The Austrian? In Offensive 'Mores. TfiTWTT KKH' JOBHING ON THfe WESTERN FBOfiT Along The British Front There Hare Been Intermittent Artillery Duels) No Events ol Unusual Interest Along The American-Held Sectors Except Aviators Stunts. For the moment, tha fy?? of the al lied world are turned away from the battle front In France, where the Ger mans are believed to be preparing tor a resumption of their offensive against the positions held by the soldiers of the entente nations. The most active arrangement In the various theatres of the war Is In Albania, where the French and Italians aro continuing their successes against the Austrlans. While It Is not expected that far reaching results will be brought about by th? offensive In this section of the world, the movement has In It possi bilities which seem Interesting. The rapid progress made by the French and Italians, the probability that the Austro-Bulgaria line to the east, pasl Lake Ochrlda may be cut out flanked and the possibility that an offensive may be launched along the Salonlkl I front tend to glvei the events in Al banla some importance at a time wher the main battle area Is quiet. i There have been indications recent ly that an offensive might be begun in Macedonia, if for no other reasor than to daw Austrian, and posslblj German troops from' Italy and Frances It is reported that the Bulgarians are weary and that a powerful blow alons the front north of Salonlkl might brinj ! about notable military and political re 'suits. The Teutonic allies in Mace donia have been savagely attacking i the entente lines, but have been drivet i back. v French troops continue their often sive tactics east of the Retz forest along the line from the Marne to the Aisne. The fighting has gradually extended southward along the from southwest of Soissons. with the Frencl repeating their operation of pushing the enemy back from strong position! from which he might easily reach vita gTound along the French line of de fense. Along the British front, there hav< been Intermittent artilery duels, deep ening here and there Into bombard ments of great intensity. Tnis hai been the case east of Amiens, where the Germans have drenched Austral ian positions with shells and then at tacked in an attempt to regain terri tory lost when the Australians anc Americans attacked on July 4. The enemy has been repulsed with losses, Near Merrls. the British hare improv ed their positions in a minor nctlon_ unusual character along the Ameriear held sectors of the line except at Cha teau Thierry, where American avia tors have been active. One squadron has penetrated far behind the Germar. line.s and It was believed it brought back valuable information as to the conditions there. ! The situation In Russia remains ob scure, and Germany has as yet made no move as the sequel r>f the assassi nation of her Ambassador Lount von Mirbach, at Moscow. In the mountain sectors of the Ital ian front the Austrlans have been pushed back slightly, in the Brenta valley and on the Asiago Plateau. DEATH OK I,i?tLF. FL0U1XE K ELMS. On Saturday night July 6th the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Nelms and srddened their hearts by taking from them their little darling Florlne. She was only seven weeks old, born 18th of May. died 6th of July. She suffered almost all her life with whoo ping cough, pneumonia and menlnglti3. She suffered bo much on earth God saw fit to ease her suffering, and take her from her parents to live with him on high. We rest assured that she Is resting in the arms of Jesus. Although it is hard for her parents to give her up, they realize that she Is much better off in Heaven, than here, suffering on earth. (- Her bereaved family consisted of a mother, father and two little sisters. Annie Lee and Louise. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery of Mt. Gllead Christian church, and her grave was covered with many beautiful flowers. We realize that our loss Is her eter nal gain. We miss her. oh! we hiss her. but God needs her more. Ho called her from her mother, over on the Golden shore. S. L,. T Z. F. H. W. M. H. determined fight upon the part of Gov. Bickett and State officials and the re cent "Work or Fight" order of Gener al C'rowder will have a most whole> some, effect.
