Three Leading Stores Of City
Determine on s o'clock CLOSING
Christmas Eve-Quit the Old Plan

Grand Forks Christmas shopper.
cannot wait until the eleventh hour te
do their purchasing this year
| Three of the largest stores in the
city already have agreed to close at {
O'Clock on December "a, so that their
employees can spend Christmas eve al
home. They are: the Ontario store,
Benner & Begg and The Odell com.
pany.
1t is expected that other stores will
agree to close at 6 o'clock, many OF
the proprietors today declaring their
approval of the plan.
his action has been urged in past
years. but this is the first year that
h merchants have decided to take it.
1t undoubtedly will be an annual oc-
curence hereafter.
Climax of Long Moment.
Grand Forks dealers long have been
urging local residents ito do their
cept in a few instances, with very little
success. But. now. in Il measure, they
will force them to act.
Christmas eve long has been 4 great
night for shopping. Residents of both
sides of the river have crowded the
stores searching frantically for gifts
in the frequently picked over piles.
Like all eleventh-hour shoppers, they
have become impatient at not being
able to find what they want and have
added to the burdens Of the tired sales
people.
Fol several years. a national organ
lzation has been advocating a Christ
mas v closing and in many places it
has been tried. Those dealers who
have tried it are loud in their praise
of the scheme and each year urge 9TH
ers to get in line.
Humanitarian Side.
The action of the Grand Forks
dealers will be welcome news to the
many employees of the stores already
concerned.
The day before Christmas is hard
enough, but the last few hours of
shopping in the evening always have
proved exceptionally difficult. 1t has
robbed the clerks of all the pleasure
they have had in anticipating Christ,
mas day. They have been deprived
of the happiness of the Christmas eve
celebration-to many the best feature
of the Yuletide holidays. But this
year. they will be able 10 take part
in and enjoy all such doings.
In announcing the Christmas eve
closing, the merchants again urged
do your shopping early' idea.
Whats the use of waiting until the
ooS oCAoIC \hIASlIIldS, liIQulF0u OQe
of the dealers. Everything is so
picked over by hat time that the shop
per canot find what he wants. 1t
means disappointments to the buyers
and h%ardships to the clerks. We have
taken particular plans to get an early
shipment of Christmas goods. SO there
is no reason why local people should
not begin their buying at once"
The "Spug'' idea also is being urged
this year. A Spug is a member of the
society for the promotion of useful
giving. and this ear it has many ad-
vocates in Grand Forks. Dealers have
made special provision for such Christ
mas shoppers. They are featuring the
useful gifts and they can be pur-
chased now.

SQUIRRELS ON HIGH WIRE.
Tiny Animals Perform During Aerial
Feats to Outwit Nut Thieves.

Feats to Outwit Nut Thieves.
philadelphia Bulletin.)
There has been a crowd Of Kensing-
tonians in Norris square, Diamond
Hancock streets. every day since
1t was discovered a week ago that the
squirrels the Kensington board Of
trade put into the open space several
years ago will perform incredible
climbing feats for a nut.
The discovery was made by a young
man who spends much of his time
studying zoology, botany and such
things. He threw a nut to a squirrel
IN the square,, expecting to see 1t do
the usual stunt, which is to carry it
up a tree and hide 1t. Instead the lit
tie animal skipped across the lawns
and assembled a telegraph pole with
lightning speed.
While the naturalist looked on
amazed, the busy little creature, hold
Ing the priced nut firmly, skipped
lightly along the insulsted w,ri-~ 10
Hancock street. 1t then hoped to an
other wire which leads to the roof of
st. Boniface Catholic church. r1n-
ming along the wire with the grace
OF the daintiest tight-rope walker, the
little animal deposited the nut IN q
crevice lear the roof Of the edince
and then returned to the square by
the same route. -
The answer is that the squirrels do
not trust their old hiding places in
the park. They have evidently been
robbed Of some food they had worked
laboriously for days to store up. At
least that is the way the dopesters in
the daily audience have II. figured out.
It would be q nutty squirrel, they
think, that would risk it, life and
dignity In such . manner Just for .
The performances are held daily.
