signatures TO the agreement. Il was
opportunity for all the stores in the
city That IS. It was understood that
all or them would be closed at the
same time. and that all would have an
equal opportunity for trade during
the hours Of business
The committee was convinced that
this was true. II has not worked out
that way. however. The larger stores
have kept the agreement Many Of
the smaller stores did not enter the
agreement. The consequence was
that much OF the business was divert
ed to them. because the larger places
were not open. when a certain per-
centage Of the people desired 20 trade.
Just how large a percentage that IS.
the arrangements Of those stores know
better than any one else.
Along this line the statement as is

tors and business houses in this

There can be no question that the
attitude taken by the stores that sign
! this statement is justified. That they

I can be no doubt. That many persons
have been disconnected by not being
able to do their shopping at the time

as though that were the only fit fate
for this boon to mankind
But for all that there is so much
mystery about the history and ante
cedents OF the pumpkin, and perhaps
this is. after all in keeping with Hal
lowe'en siealth-it Is known that the
pumpkin is a distinctively American
delicacy. To be sure. some supposed
authorities advance the theory that
the pumpkin is OF Asiatic origin. and
others are always pointing out that
pumpkins have been cultivated either
as a cur osity or as an article of food
in England ever since the year 1870.
However. We know that all patriotic
Americans and true friends OF the
pumpkin will support the contention
that the pumpkin thrived in America
long before it was known in any other
part of The world, and was cultivated
by the aborigines of North America,
who planted it among their maze
And anyway. even if we grant, for the
sake of argument that some other
people saw the pumpkin first. we can
salve our feelings with the knowledge
that no other nationality has adopted
the vegetable so universally and
warmed to it so enthusiastically as
have the present-day residents Of the
New World.
