High School, 8; wildwood, O.

The game between the High
School and Wildwood Yesterday
afternoon resulted in shut-out
for the visitors, as Shepherd and
Moore held them down to three
safe hits.
Estep, who twirled for the vi>i-
tors, allowed only eight hits, but
his teammates made some costly
errors at critical times.
This was the first game of the
season for the Wildwood boys. and
they put up very creditable
game, considering their lack of
practice.
\ number of faithful rooters
accompanied the visitors. and
never gave up hope until the last
man was retired.
\ return game. to be played at
Wildwood, is now being arranged,
and will probably be pulled of
next week.

For Early Closing.
EDITOR COURIER:


want. through the columns of
your interesting paper, to lend my
effort, whether it accomplish little
or much, in behalf of the move
ment for early closing Of business
houses in Berryville during the
months of June, July and August
closing at 8 p. m, each day
except Saturday.
OF course, admit, the closing
of livery places, drug stores. hotel.
and few other lines would work
a hardship upon the community.
and they could easily be excepted
from the rule.
Early closing during the heated
term would bring relief and res.
To 4 most deserving class of young
people, and would give them two
or three hours for recreation. after
being employed closely indoors
since early morning.
The mechanic of our community
no longer works from sunrise to
sunset. He starts out 10 work at
4 "'clrck; has an hour FOR lunch
and rest; and at o'clock each day
ana at > O'Clock on Saturday, lays
down his tools.
The farmer uo longer keeps his
help beyond the setting OF the sur.
except in localities far removed
from town.
The banks close their doors at ,
O clock, in order that their accounts
and books may bc balanced and the
clerks permitted To 20 home before
Is o'clock.
The lawyer has dismissed his
clients and is at home. happy with
his family, before 6 o'clock.
The public officials cease their
work before Is O'Clock, and go
home for the day.
In fact there is practically no
business establishment of the town
which expects its employees to
labor after Is o'clock except the
merchants.
Now, Mr.. Merchant, Mr.. Any
body who keeps his employees after
g o'clock. won't YOU be good. too,
and give 10 your employees the
evening hours after O'Clock, ex-
cept ON Saturday.
You will get more efficient work,
YOU will add to the length of your
employees lives, and YOU will not
lose any thing worth mentioning in
money.
All other civilized communities
recognize the value of shorter
hours during the heated term. and
use every effort TO make the
workers enjoy liberty and pleasure.
You will gain the eternal graft
tude of those whom YOU employ.
You will have the sense of salts
faction which comes from doing
unto others a. YOU would have
then do unto YOU.
You will lose nothing.
Therefore, why hesitate!
