To the Editor:?In your issue of January 9th, i914, you printed an | article written by Mr. H. 3. Ward relative to the earlier cloeiDR of the tores. It has been in my mind (or so mo I time to make some mention of this In your paper and I heartily agree, with Mr. Ward in his article and hope that our merchants will get together a!hd see if It Is possible to close'their stores earlier. I am under the impression that some of them close beforo twelve o'clock now, and I understand that all the wholesale stores close along about the usual time Saturdays. I do not feel like saying to the merchants that they should close their stores at any given hour and would rather let this part of It remain with them. The earlier, within reason, would be better. 80 far as tb? city Is concerned, our force could do much bettor work in having Main street clean for Sunday if we could get at the work sooner. After our men have done a hard day's work, having to 1 wait "until late at night to cletr the Rtreets makes It an extemm'y long day for them.

A A TIN ANT) KIT> SI.TTTKM OIJIAN ed at Wright's. Agrees Nard as to *1osinq Stores . :A et better service kif vitality re not sapped by long { close curlier.. It would be no 1^^ j ble whatever In having your .?ui>ir nuu mose mat wish to traotf to come In earlier and du th-iir trading. 1 have often been on the atre ta at a late hour Saturday nights and ft Is seldom that you see much trading late Saturday night and generally It Is those that have' put * Off their tradtngy knowing the store would be open. I do not attempt to say as to how bus'oens la conducted in other communities as It is usually adjusted to suit the section in which we live, yet I will venture to say that verv few sections have or need the Torg hours we use here. It is also a long day upon the employe# of a store to get to his or her work at around seven or eight o'clock in the morning on Saturday the busiest day of the week, an.l stay there until midnight, on their feet All .day long, making sixteen or seventeen hours for the day out of Lwenty-fourv It Is no wonder ?bat they wist to rest in bed h part the day Bnnday and feel little 'J0 attending device if it was thtfl iesire. By the time the usual tree ft and changes are made it is very aftgn two o'clock before 'they re- ' ire. I believe that our merchant* would' get betfer service from their amployes if their vitality was not capped by these long hours. Furthermore. this Is in the interest of bumantty, as, vte cannot expect tV*'*" have a better und stronger race of people, unless we build up these , tonditio'QH and have our surround n?? more nenthlful, giving our1 e*Tii>loye? ?ntno chance for rest an1 eereation and pleasure, us well -in ? chance to attend church, and at east not have the burden rent upon aur shoulders for their failure to lo *o. ?
