activities as a member of the civil

The Good Government club heard a
report on the efforts of one of its
committees to bring about an earlier
closing hour for the grocery stores on
Saturday night Mrs. Rhodes ex-
planned that their purpose in trying to
induce the grocers to close their stores
earlier was entirely disinterested. She
said the club had received an offer of
cooperation on the part of the Indus
trial council, but the club decided to
continue its present method of pre-
senting the matter to the merchants.
Mrs. ]. D. Mcfarland said she thought
it could be brought about in a perfect
" amicable way and she suggested
taht each member of the club ask her
own grocer to close his store at
O'Clock Saturday night. and also that
each member be sure % do her. buy
ing early, so that the delivery wagons
need not be hauling provision to the
houses of any of the members after
closing time.
