feet, tho, and will affect the entire
state Thursday and Sunday nights.
Ten days ago intimation was given
to the effect that the closing order

situation was restored to normal. A
few days of sunshine has done the
work Practically every town in the
state has been able to fill coal bins
and dealers reported to Carey that

return to the closing rule this winter,
Danner was advised.

larger towns. Wichita bankers have
practically agreed to adopt the 10 to
3 O'Clock business hours. The matter
is also being discussed in other towns
and has been urged in Topeka. Con-
