TONIGHT is LAST
FOR LATE SHOPPER
Stores Can't Be Open on An
other STRENGTHENING.

If you have penchant for Saturday
night shopping. you'd better indulge 1t
tonight, because next Saturday night
the 6 o'clock closing agreement will
take effect. Merchants in general do
not regret the passing of Saturday
night, conceded the commercial eli
max Of the week, indeed many of them
declare that they have been waiting
for closing compact for many years.
The clerks are enthusiastic about the
new order, as they will not be forced
to drag weary legs back to their
counters for a torrid extra session
after working through the nine hard
est hours of the week.
And the ones who know that they
are going to reap golden floods from
the early closing of the stores are the
flicker magnates. Going down town
Saturday night is habit with most
people and they will seek other forms
of amusement to replace their former
a result seats in a movie show on Sat
nrday nights will be at a premium in
the sfuture.
SO take your last chance tonight,
for next Saturday night the only
things that YOU can buy will be drugs,
jcwclry, candy, cigars and booze.

Indeed, self-preservation, not only as
an individual and as nation, but self
in the broadcast sense of
! .e worlds civilization requires that we
should take this step. If we had moth

consider, humanity might demand that
we should share the last crust with
others, and if one had to starve, let all
starve together. But the situation is
different from that.
We are the protectors now of the

ization are at stake, and the needs of
humanity demand we should conserve
our food supply as we'll as cotton and
other things for the exclusive benefit of

That this may bring hardships to
the neutral countries is not our fault.
We have not been responsible for the
bad weather that has lessened our food

have not been responsible for the war

THE SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY.

If President Wilson had given this
as the only reason for the United
States entering war against Germany
this country would have to look for no

tatives of the German people openly
and repeatedly suggest revolution in
the Reichstag, and get away with it,
without being sent to prison for life or
having their heads chopped off by the
"Scharfrichter" then surely some dem
ocratic ideas must be gaining a foot
hold in even the worst of all autocracy-
ridden countries.
But even in England, known as a
democratic country, democracy, in its
broader meaning, is making notable
progress. Many stories tell of the
democratic feeling and good conrad

WARNING TO AUTOMOBILISTS

While there may be a disposition to
treat with levity the suggestion from
Washington that there should be a
curtailment of pleasure-riding by auto
mobile owners in order to conserve the
supply of gasoline not only for war,
but for future necessary commercial
and other uses, there are sound reas-
ons why it should be seriously observ-
ed President Bedford of the Standard
Oil Company, has just printed some
facts that indicate an increasing short,
age in the oil industry. He states that
the country is consuming practically
$50, 100000 barrels of crude oil yearly
while the production is only about
3C0,000,000 barrels, and that the war
time demands for gasoline are making
such unexpected inroads upon produc-
ton that unless some process of con-
is adopted the reserve, which
on May l amounted to only about 1867
6S8,797 barrels, will became exhausted
within less than twelve months.
1t is estimated that there are 4,000,-
600 automobiles in the United States
and that these consume something like
100000 barrels of gasoline annually,
being the main cause of the deficit. "An
