Leather Shortage Hits Uncle Sam.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 30. The
eather mail bag which has beencar
ried by Uncle Sam's letter carriers
ever since the establishment of the
free delivery service wil soon become
a thing of the past. The war, is re
sponsible for the passing of the leath
er bag, as it is responsible for many
other changes that have come about
in everyday life during the past year
or so. So much leather is being used
for military purposes now that it has
become exceedingly scarce and is to
be obtained only at a very high price.
Under these conditions Uncle Sam has
deemed it wise to practice the econ
omy which he has been preaching
throughout the land. Consequently it
has been decided to do away with the
leather bags used by the carriers and
to replace them with strong canvn
bags, which may not wear so long
.s those made of leather, but are mucn
cheaper and ' answer their purpose
equally as well.

Cash and Carry System. -
Indianapolis, Ind Jan. SO. Indian
apolis housewives are soon to be con
fronted with the alternative: of doing
their own marketing or seeing their
cupboards go bare. As a measure of
wartime economy the cash-and-carry
system is to be put into effect day
after tomorrow. by order' of the local
food administrator. The rules will
apply to the entire field of foodstuffs
distribution. The grocery and kin
dred trades have greeted the an
nouncement with expresisons of ap
proval and the prediction is made
that the innovation will help mate
rially, to reduce the cost of living.
Housewives are not so certain of this
last-named point, but are hopeful that
the prediction may prove correct. At
any rate they are ready to give the
new system a fair trial and to this
end they are preparing to "go to
market" and are ransacking cellars
and attics in search .of the old market
baskets that were long since discard
