not looking for boardcrs when | went
there yesterday but / can see that that
is just the place to go for them The
best way to get boarders Is to not hang
a sign on your house and then sit down
and wait for them to come and find
YOU The way to do is to go out and
get them. | asked my own true daddy
about il this morning when | was sit

keep going after il till you get it, but
he said ] better he careful because Il
! took someone TO Mrs Carpenter 3
that did not pay her she would blame
me.
AS soon as my own true daddy began
going to bed me and Rowdy rambed
and we went up and sat on the horse
block in front of the boarding house
and after a while the front door opened
and the young man came out with his
hat on, and the young woman came out
without her hat on and they both
smiled at me and Rowdy and smiled
back but they were too busy to talk
to me and she said to him. "Do you
think you can find il. dear" and he
said, "Sure, don't be lonesome" and he
kissed her right on the street and she
watched him till he turned the corner
and then she came over and sat by me

my father was and then we tippytoed
into the other room and we're careful
to not make any noise and when she
found out that my mother was in
heaven she said, my mother is there,
too, isn't that beautiful" and then when
we got out she went right past her
boarding house with me and all the way
to the corner and she waved me good
bye and told me to hurry home from
school because she was going to be

we're walking back she said, "Your

me up tight and laughed so hard that
! had to laugh too and then she said
she was going to play with me and that
we were going to have some grand
times together. So then she walked
right down past the boarding house and
went in my yard with me and told
her about our garden and took her to
see II, and my father was out there and
she knew everything that had come up

get some supper for my father hut she
said she could not eat with us because
she had to wait and cat with her hW-

ate, and she fed Rowdy while we ate

"SHORT" BUSINESS DAY .
OPPOSED BY MERCHANT
Mr.. Ramsay Says, in Letter to Com
missioners, 10 O'Clock Hour
Handicaps Small Places.

Now that the influenza has departed
the question of the all-round benefits
of the ruling that stores shall not open
for business until 10 o'clock is raised
by William Ramsay. 1918 F street
northwest. This ruling, admittedly q
proper one during the epidemic. has
been extended for six months by the
Commissioners, and Mr.. Ramsay has
stated to those officials his strong
opinion that thereby proprietors of
small places Of business will suffer un-
duly.
In letter to the board Of Commits
sioners the writer hopes that it will
reconsider the ruling, and notes that
similar rulings in other cities have
been set aside. His letter, in part, fol-
lows:
81 have read an article in The Even
ing Star which stated that the Com
missioners had heard no objections to
this ruling. OF course not! The small
business men are not organized like
the large houses, who employ female
help and are forced to observe the
eight-hour law. The small retailer
who employs men, and is not under
this restraint, is compelled to lose the
only opportunity he has to get in lit
tie extra business in the morning wait
ing on men. AS we all know. the wom-
ems trade does not start much before
II o'clock.
II hope the Commissioners will re-
consider this ruling, as there are more
small business men than large, and
hold it is unjust to impose on class
who are always ready to contribute to
every way to keep good order in the
city"

The emergency agricultural appro-
