HALF HOLIDAY
To Be Given Clerks in Some Stores
 Letter from Business Man.

Manager Champeau of the Peoples store has announced that, as has besn the custom for the past twelve years. the store will close at 1 o'clock Fri day afternoons during July and Au- gust. The firemen have been agitating a movement to have all the stores closed on Thursday afternoons during July and August and have circulated an agreement to close which has been signed by the majority of the mer- chants. but through the refusal of two or three merchants to sign the move ment is likely to be of no effect The following letter is from Putnam business man:
 To the Clerks of Putnam:
 Form your clerks association. and when you want anything like closing Thursday afternoons I think you will be able to have what Webster, South bridge, Danielson and other live towns now have It is poor town that cannot afford to close a few hours the the year when all the surrounding towns can do it. They are live ones, and let their clerks out so they can visit the cities and see something that cannot be seen on Sunday, which is the only day the Putnam clerks now have.
 Some years ago I worked hard to get the stores to close three nights a week, and finally succeeded. Today everyone will acknowledge that they are just as well off as when they were open every night but two. Now take another step in the same direction and you will find that it will be a decided benefit to everybody and will harm no one. In those days I was a clerk for Simon Farley Now I am not a clerk but I am with you just the same. Get together and do not let one or two men run the town.
 Yours,
 GEORGE W. H. FARLEY.
