SOME MERCHANTS
IGNORE EARLY CLOSING

The general disregard on the part OF
Front street stores, East Fourth street
stores and many OF the stores on King
street, Of the request Of the United
States Fuel Administration for shorter
business hours. may result in COM
mand instead Of a request from the Fuel
Administration.
Last night, an observer found on
King street from the public building
down to Front street the following mer-
chants doing business as usual:n Gro
Gerry stores, four; clothing, three; mer-
chant tailor, one; furniture. one: dry
goods, four; millinery. three; mems fur
nishings. three fish and oysters, three:
bakery. one: picture frames. one: bar
ber, one; shoes, six; vegetables. fruits.
confectionery, cigars, ETC., twenty-one: /:
fruit stands. sixteen.
On Front street no attempt was made
TO count the places doing business as
there was practically no observance Of
the request Of the Fuel Administration
for early closing. All the stores were
doing business, including two barber
shops, Junk shops, clothing stores and
everything doing business
as usual"
On Madison street while there were
not so many doing business as on
King. little regard for the wishes OF the
Fuel Administration was shown so far
as the conservation OF light was con-
cerned.
On East Fourth street the same con-
iitions prevailed, few closing.
The general sentiment expressed by |
these storekeepers who were making a J
profit out, Of the patriotism OF other .
was one OF defiance Of the .
Fuel Administration.

building will be erected and its pur-

plans drawn by Mayor Abbott and
submitted a fortnight ago. These

ing of one story, on the ground owned
by the city near the pumping station.
After the subject was discussed the
firemen became interested and have
approached the city trustees with a
proposition to build a two-story
department house instead of the one
story originally planned, and to ar
range the upper part so that it might
be divided into rooms for some of
the fremen. The suggestion is being
considered, and it is understood has
practically been adopted. Lester
Cardiff of the department is working
to interest the trustees to the point
of action. and believes the proposition

GIVE YOUR WORK

PLEA Of STAT I

"If we can get Immediately a list
of jobs from real employers, it will
help more than anything else We
can do in putting morale into oul
troops not now demobilized, and in
upholding California's good name"
This sentence, from letter by
Director Charles C. Moore, of the
State Council of Defense, to the I'M
perial county defense organization,
points to greatly desired goal.
That it is for the county divisions
and the community councils just or
ganized, to pave the way, is the idea
of the council, each locality being ex-
pected to first of all arrange for its
own quota of homecoming men hon
orably discharged.
Captain Beverly S. Clendanin, La
son officer sent to arrange for place
ment of men being discharged from
Camp Lewis, is working with the
Councils Army and Navy Placement
Department. He has commenced a
tour of the various counties, under
auspices of the state council, to meet
the division chairmen, placement
committees and influential citizens,
and stimulate practical immediate ac-
ton. Commissioner Albert Lindley
who has extensive acquaintance
throughout the state, accompanies
Captain Clendenin as the personal
representative of Director Charles C.
Moore.
Every locality will be urged to
make good it's unit, in patriotic JUS
tice to its own men, at least. who
went forth to fight, leaving lucra-
tive employment, and coming home
empty handed, but with energy and
will to work. be Independent and Join
in rolling along the ball of indus
try.
That farmers generally are ready
to use one man, or several, for every
one that went into service, the coun-
I'll is informed from many communi-
ties.
In the towns and cities, in al lines
Of business, employers to display
service flags are expected to be
equally proud in announcing that for
every star on the flag soldier or
sailor is taken back into service
in the paths of peace.
Attention is called to the cancel
iation of all restrictions on construc-
ton work, and to the cancellation ef-
fective January ! of regulations by
the Priorities Division of the War
Industries Board
Also emphatic endorsement is Civ
en- by the Council to the appeal of
Secretary of War Baker, to all mu-f
nicipal bodies to at once prepare forI
public improvements, to EMPLOY envy
surplus of labor, especially by usd
of soldiers and sailors returning.
Saws Director Moore: California
has today great opportunity for
development. This state has been
engaged in the production Of the two
essentials for works use in the next
two years, namely, shipping and food.
AS a consequence, development work
should be stimulated and accelerated
and encouraged, and optimism should
rule"

The result of Mr.. Elliott's visit to
