| meetings and lodge meetings, the business session of the Chamber of | Commerce, held last evening, found every man interested Ill the develop ment of the county present. Seating room and no more, with about the same number preesnt as attended the | big roads meeting, held two weeks ago, opened the first session to be held during the month of April.
 Daylight Saving Plan While a little misunderstanding seems to prevail in some quarters with respect to the daylight saving plan, this organization went on rec oId unanimously favoring the plan of closing the stores at o'clock dur ing the summer months. A wrong im- preSsion was said to have become lodged in the minds of those who have not carefully followed the plan. There is no intention on the part of committee to change the time of the clocks in Prescott and the early clos ing of the stores during the summer months will have a direct bearing only upon the merchandise establish ments if all of them agree to the plan. The schools, banks and offices will all run the same as heretofore but those who work in the stores will have the benefit of one hour early closing during the summer months. So far every business house inter viewed has favored this plan and if all do so, the stores i'll Prescott will close one hour earlier in the after moons.
 President Clark praised the cont mittee chair1uen for their unfailing attendance at the regular weekly meetings and urged that eevry one of the chairmen make 1t point to be present at future meetings with the same regularity which they have dis played in the past.
