And must retire? Gee, that's tough.

sales resulting from the Saturday
night opening scarcely justified the
bill for lights.
The committee, deSirous that the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber may result from it's efforts, feels
that after hearing from all sides
that the inconvenience to the shop
per of an earlier Saturday closing
would be so slight that the public
should bear it gladly.
An Earlier Saturday
closing would not only enable the
noble girls and women striving for
an honest livelihood to obtain more
time for rest and refreshment. but
it would obviate the necessity which
faces so many Of a solitary trip
home at hours dangerously rfear
midnight.
The committee wishes the Satur-
day closing at 6 and the S-hour day
for the rest of the week for Shreve-
ports women employed outside of
the home.
What other Southern cities have
done Shreveport can do.
The committee wishes to express
appreciation for those merchants
who having the courage of their con-
viction that Saturday earlier clos
ing was right and practical, have
closed their stores at on Saturday
nights for several years in spite Of
other stores getting the trade" and
trusts that their example will serve
as one worth emulation by others.

Louisiana State University, Baton
Rouge, La, June 25, 1915. Dear
Madam: The State in connection
with the [ niitd states department
of Agriculture is making ali effort to
bring to the rural population OF
Louisiana knowledge of how to r22-
serve the products grown on tbs
farm. This has been done, as you
may already know, by the forming
Of canning clubs. To stimulate the
girls, the State has offered $3.50 in
prizes to be given away at the State
Fair. The local communities where
the clubs are organized have also
offered premiums. l feel that these
prizes ought to be in a large meas
ure something that would help the
girls educationally.
In January we have a short course
here at the university and l am
planning to have the twenty-five
girls who have made the greatest
success in their work attend this
course. | am asking the Civic League
in the different towns of the State
to send a girl to Baton Rouge at that
time. The Civic League will only
have to pay her travelling expenses
and living expenses while here. The
university gives her the course.
Let me know if your Civic League
will pledge itself to send a girl, if
she is one of the lucky twenty-five.
Hoping to hear from you favor
ably, l am, very truly yours,

EARLIER CLOSING.
Report Of the Cooperative PrOtec-
tive Association Committee to In
teryieW the Retail Merchants.
TO The Caucasian)


A committee from the CO-Opera-
tive Protective Association has been
active during the past few days US
ing influence in practical way to
obtain an earlier closing of the re-
tail stores in Shreveport during
July and August. Looking to that
end, the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton was waited upon and addressed
by the Cooperative committee with
the result that the advice of the
Merchants Association was for the
committee to see every merchant
and have a personal interview,
which advice was acted upon, with
the result that every retail mer-
chant was seen and views as to an
earlier Saturday closing obtained,
with said merchants signature at
tached.
The Majority
of the leading merchants were in
favor of the earlier closing, with the
exception on mems clothing, sad
dlery, and the stores dealing in Pc
riOdicals.
An interview with the president
Of the labor union elected the fact
while an early closing of the mems
furnishing stores would work real
hardship to the working man, the
hardship accruing to his family by
an early closing of other retail
stores would be but slight. Except
in instances where the wife wished
to shop with her husband, or in
cases where living is so close that
even necessities are not purchased
until absolutely necessary.
Almost all of the merchants stated
that the earlier closing would meet
with their approval, provided, of
course, that all fell into line; many
expressed themselves as being in
favor of midday Saturday closing
in accordance with our recent State
law making Saturday
A Legal Half Holiday.
During the numerous personal
interviews with merchants the fact
of the powerful influence that a
strict adherence to the agreement
entered into by so many of our club
women not to shop after 5 o'clock
on any day during June, July and
August, was brought out. If no one
shOpped after 5, the store would, of
necessity, close.
Some merchants stated that the
