now in a nebulous state. waits for
definite formulation upon the re-

months ago Root has conferred with
the leading diplomats Of Europe
upon 5the subject. including Premier
Lloyd George. Lord Robert Cecil,
Arthur BaIfour and Andre Tardicu.
The Root plan roughly is said to

cate the plan. and will use it as

about to appear in suits of hand

attempt of the court tailors to

He said that $50 for such a suit
was too much for anyone to pay, and
purchased six ready made suits at
$50 each, which he will wear on in
formal occasions.
1t is the logical result of the eff

tition unanimously except the grocers

These firms believe that the people
generally want to see the o'clock
closing in effect so that Canon City
can enjoy some goodbaseballthissuln
mer. They also feel that their EN-
ployes are entitled TO little addition

ers generally will be repaid by re-
newed vigor and more efficient sery-
ice during the hours that the clerks
are or duty. They feel that the
money that might possibly be lost in
a business way will be made up
through more contented employees and
better service to their customers.
The petition is on file at the Cham
Der of Commerce and may be signed
by any other grocers and meat men
who feel the same way about the mat
ter.
