One of the Invest and most eneg-
getic business men in our district
is Mr.. j. f. Huckins, who for many
years conducted his business on
Alix Street, as the exclusive interior
decorator on this side of the river.
1t certainly does take a hustler to
keep a competitor away from him,
and this Mr.. Huckins has success
fully done in Algiers for the past
sixteen years. But, there is a rea-
son for all things, and the principal
reason why Ned Huckins hasn't had
an active competitor in Algiers is
because he has endeavored to suit
the people and to do the best work
in the city.
Mr.. Huckins has always been a
great believer in Union Labor, and
whenever possible his shop was con-
Quoted under Union Labor, and he
has been known to have paid the
very highest prices of any other in
terror decorator in the city, regard
less of whether his employees be-
long to the Union or not. He has
the reputation in the city among the
other decorators as always paying
Just little bit more than the Union
scale.
Only a short time ago, Mr.. Huck-
ms branched out into another bust
ness,-that is for taking large con-
tracts for painting ships, and his
success in this line is due, to a great
degree, in his treatment of the la
boring man and paying the highest
wage for the kind of work involved.
Mr.. Huckins has recently completed
several large contracts in painting
ships located in our different dry
docks here, and other big work along
this line Is now waiting his atten-
ton. He is, however, not neglect
ing his interior decorating work, and
is ready to serve his old time GUS
toners as promptly as ever.
Mr. Huckins was born on August
16, 1871, and since the age of 16
years, he has been in his present
| business.
Mrs. ]. E. Huckins and little
daughter, Zelda are also very promi-
|
having been for the past years, a
leader among the women, in the or
CARNATIONS, where women were call
ed upon to do their share. She
was the originator of the Fifth Dis
trict Civic League, and kindred or
CARNATIONS on our side of the river.
She has also been elected to men,
bership in other women's organiza-
tions throughout the city, and her
influence for the good of many
things have been felt here. in our
district.
Their daughter. Zelda Huckins.
who is an accomplished pianist. is
wrapped up in her music, and it is
predicted for her that she will soon
become a star in her chosen pro-
| fession.

GROCERS AMONG OUR
MOST PATRIOTIC
CITIZENS

Among the folk who are doing
more than their share toward win
ming the war are the retail grocers
of this town. The demands of the
government on the grocers have
been hard and exacting, but the gro
GERS have responded willingly and
are making their sacrifices cheerful
ly.
With the distribution of the food
supply of the nation such an impor-
tant matter, the retail grocery bust
ness Is one of the most important
branches of Uncle Sans service,
even though not officially recog-
niZed.
Besides observing the O'Clock
closing order and the order restrict
ing the sale of wheat flour and su-
gar, both of which orders have in
terferred with the conduct of the
grocery business, most of our gro
GERS have become agents for the sale
OF War Savings Stamps, thus giving
much time, and consequently a great
deal of energy to this work.
Last week We published a list of
the grocers who are closing at 7 d.
m. By next week we hope that
every one who is not closing now
will see the advantage of this
movement to conserve fuel and light
and join the rest who are doing so.

HAVE VIOLATED
AGREEMENT

1t is claimed by the Grocer's Or
ganization in Algiers (most of whom
signed an agreement to close their
place of business during the sum-
mer at seven p. m.,) are protesting
that some of those who went into the
agreement have violated ii and the
organization threatens to publish
the names of those stores who are
keeping open after seven O'Clock
hereby violating their agreement
md not showing the good spirit OF
patriotism in this matter.
The purpose of closing all the
groceries at seven p. m. was for con
ervatiOn of light and other expense
incident to keeping open their
places. If all the grocers will agree
0 close up at seven o'clock there
will be no loss of trade and in re-
turn for this patriotic act they will
be rewarded each night by being
given an opportunity for recreation
from seven o'clock on, which they
have not been able to enjoy hereto
fore.
We believe this is a very good
move and the public no doubt will
join in recommending that all the
grocery stores close promptly at
seven p. m. as we'll as all the other
stores in Algiers, eXceptin9 how
ever, those of a nature that would
not permit of the establishment of
this rule.
