To the Public:

A few weeks ago met with a number Of business
men of Missoua and discussed the proposition Of
closing our stores on Saturday nights. l. myself,
speaking for my own line of business which is mems
and young mems clothing and shoes, then said that
thought it was the wrong thing to do to close my
store on Saturday nights at o'clock, as men work
through the day and Saturday night the only time
they have to buy their wearing apparel they cam
not afford to lay off half day to do their buying
then also said that thought it was time and
good thing for the merchants to get together and
work in harmony, and if all the merchants would
close at o'clock on Saturday nights, would close
my store at o'clock With that understanding, l
was one of the first business to sign the paper
for o'clock Saturday night closing.
Furthermore, went around with committee of
men and waited upon the different merchants, get
ting their signatures on paper for o'clock Saturday
night closing, with the understanding that the sign
ing OF this paper was binding, if all the merchants
signed otherwise the signing of the paper meant
nothing.
Well the jewelers. and druggists did not sign the
paper and two firms which sell my line of goods also
refused to sign. talked with two gentlemen who
were on the committee and told them that we had not
gotten all of the merchants to sign and that did not
teel like closing as my agreement was to close if all
the merchants signed the agreement to close at
o'clock.
One OF these gentlemen was of my opinion and he
and talked it over right out in the entrance or
lobby of my store ROOM But we decided to close
and try it, and if we not satisfied afterwards
then we had perfect right open our stores as all
the merchants had not signed the agreement
made the statement to the gentleman, Il may be
keeping open Saturday evenings in less than
month";. Friday announced in the papers that my
store will be open Saturday night. There have
been some who have criticized my action and am
sorry to say some have tried to make stock or gain
out of my action.
Now bear this in mind stand ready at this
moment to live up to my agreement and understand
ing with these gentlemen and keep my store locked
every Saturday evening at o'clock, if the other
merchants who are keeping open their stores will
lock their stores at o'clock on Saturday nights
just as stated before signing the paper will
willingly close my store at o'clock if all the other
merchants do the same.
There is such thing as justice principle and fair
play in life, and claim to possess some of these
virtues myself.
You will always find me playing my cards face up
and shooting fair.

feet of New Law, in
Force After May /.

Missoula firemen must avoid such
inflammable topics as religion and pol
itics when they argue. must let fire.
water alone when on duty and must
abstain from heated language.
Those are some of the asbestos, iron
clad rules in a new code adopted yes
terday morning by the city council. If
the rules aren't obeyed the firemen
will be fired.
The new rules will go into effect on
May |, when the double platoon law
passed by the 1917 assembly becomes
active. This law practically doubles
the size of the department and, by
providing for two shifts of firemen,
gives members of the force leisure

is now the case.
New Officers.
Under the new regulations the de-
partment is to consist of a chief, an
assistant chief, a first assistant chief,
an auto mechanic and II fremen. The
efficiency of this force is to be in
creased by drills. which will be given
on every day but Sunday.
Salaries are fixed as follows: Chief,
500 a year; assistant chief $3.50;
first assistant chief $1,260; auto me-
chanic, $1,350: eight firemen, $1,000;
three additional firemen, $3.50. The adj
ditional or "call' firemen are to sleep
in the fire station and to have no day
time connection with the force.
The platoons are to work as follows:
From 5 a. m. to p m. will be the day
shift; from p. M. to a. m. will be
the night shifts hours. Members Of
the department, with the exception of
the chief, the mechanic and the three
call" men, are to be required to alter
nate on day and night duty.
An emergency ordinance appropriate
ing additionally the sum of $4,000 of
the maintenance of the department
during the fiscal year ending April 80.
1918, was passed. This will be added
| to the department budget of $22,S60.
The total $26.SsO, includes $3.50 for
| hydrant rentals from the water COM
pany.
The matter of purchasing trees for
| the city parks was referred to Coun-
Gilman J. NJ. BrechbiV. The trees will
be purchased from local nurseries il
possible.

CHAMBER APPROVES

Montana State IFniversity's annual

called off yesterday after the Missoula

derwritten the 13 meets already held,
had agreed with the executive heads
Of the games that an athletic meeting
Of such proportions ought not to be
held while the nation is at war The
agreement was reached at a luncheon
of the chamber of commerce at noon
yesterday.
Professor ]. ?. Rowe Of the univer
sity faculty, chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the meet, later notified
the high schools of the state that the
1917 games haze been abandoned.
High Schools Opposed.
\ marked change in the attitude of
the high schools was the principal rea-
son for the cancellation of the meet.
Two weeks ago, thinking that the war
might have made the high schools un-
willing to participate in the meet DR..
Rowe asked every principal in the
state what his school wanted the un:-
versity to do. All but two recon-
mended that the meet be held, and the
university committee decided to accept
the recommendation.
\ complete reversal of opinion was
shown, however, at a meeting of high
school principals in Helena last week.
This meeting made no suggestions to
the university, but 1t was so unmis-
takably opposed to all activities likely
to distract high school students from
national service that the interscholas-
tic committee reconsidered its action
Wednesday it decided to ask other
western universities which hold inter-
scholastic meets what they were going
to do, and then to refer the whole mat
ter TO the chamber of commerce, not
for a decision but for counsel

In presenting the question at the
luncheon yesterday Or. Rowe informed
the business men that six of the II
