.ELDR|DGE ASKS WHY
NOT TAKE FIRST HOUR
Twin Falls Merchant Disagrees With
Idea That Hour Should Be Given
Evenings
Editor of the Times:

Editor of the Times:
In the Sunday Times appeared an
article concerning the movement on
the part of the clerks to close the
stores at five in the afternoon and at
seven on Saturday nights.
1t was headed, "a Patriotic Endeav-
or-Stimulate Gardening" l am won
dering just how much gardening
would really be stimulated by giving
the clerks an extra hour a day? If
they are sincere, however why do they
not propose taking the first hour in
the morning instead of the last in the
afternoon?
The periods from five to six in the
afternoon and seven to ten on Satur-
day night are the most active business
periods of the week. At times in my
store nearly half the sales for the
whole week have been crowded into
those very hours. This is sufficient
evidence to me that they were the
hours most convenient for the custo-
mers.
The statement has been made that
there would be just as much business
in the long run, anyhow. L cannot
agree with this. People do not have
to trade with us; and 1 believe the
easier we make it for them to trade
with us the more business we will get.
Men working for the canal company
farm laborers, and others who come
from a distance, cannot get to town
until late in the afternoon or on Sat
urday night. They will either go to
town where stores are open, or buy
their goods from mail-order houses
We all suffer very keenly from the
tremendous amount of mail order bust
ness done in this locality, and yet II
is proposed to force more people tc
buy in this way by closing our doors
in their faces. In my opinion the stor-
es in Twin Falls are not open hours
enough, especially in summer.
would like to open my store on Wed.
nesday evening, also. The shortage oi
farm labor will be very acute in this
section this summer; the clerks anC
merchants might we'll perform rea
patriotic service by making it easy
for the men to trade outside of theil
working hours.

Mary Pickford's new photo play, A
Romance OF the Redwoods,' staged
under the direction Of Cecil B. DeMille
for Aircraft Pictures, presents a strik-
ing example of why the greatest num-

And the orchards to perennial yield

When he called for our nation to SEND

Why, when others were wondering
