The Grocers Have Set a
Patriotic Example By
Closing On Saturday Nights
I
In deciding to close their stores ,
every Saturday at six, as well as on
Dther days, the Retail Grocers Asso
ciation has moved in accord with the
spirit of the times. That is practical
conservation of labor energy as well
as fuel, by concentrating the same
amount of business in a lesser num
ber of hours. The clerks and em
ployers are mutual gainers, and the
public will be served just as well.
We earnestly believe that the ex
ample set by the Grocers is one so
commendable, that during the period
of the war, especially, all stores could
well afford to close on Saturday
evenings as well as on other evenings
without any inconvenience to the
public, and with a great saving in
fuel that could be converted into
more essential channels.
All the beautiful electric signs,
window lighting effects and interior
lighting devices of a special character
represent an aggregate of hundreds
of thousands of dollars expended to
attract attention to our names and
wares. But that is an insignificant
sum in comparison to what we have
invested in the winning of this war.
It may seem very important that
we burn fuel so we may have bright
looking and warm stores in which we
may serve the people on Saturday
nights; but isn't it far more important
that these people should have ample
fuel to be cozy in their own homes
this winter?
Ordinarily it is essential that we
have fuel to burn so we may have
attractively illuminated windows in
which to show our merchandise at
night, but isn't it far more essential
to have fuel where it keeps the
workers in the essential industries,
busily employed and 100 per cent,
efficient?
It beautifies the city and is com
mercially important that we burn
fuel so that innumerable electric
signs may vie in brilliancy and color
to keep our names and trade-marks
before the people; but isn't it far
more important to burn this fuel so
that these peoples' children may have
heat in the schools?
Suppose a drastic order came from
Washington this winter that all
stores could only be open four days
a week to serve the public, rather
than oblige essential industries to
close part time, as they did last win
ner. Is there anyone who doubts
that, with a little extra effort on the
part of the salesforce and the public
being requested to come in the dull
morning hours —practically as much
business could be done as with pres
ent hours?
If so, then why not voluntarily dis
pense with Saturday night opening -
this winter, by following the example
of the grocers and thus complying
with the suggestion of the Fuel Com
missioner?
This store is willing and ready.
How many others will join us? *

Wharton Study Club Sells
Its' Furniture For Red Cross
The Wharton Study Club which was
organised and maintained by mem
bers of the Wharton Extension
School, has disbanded for the period
of the war and has sold Its posses
sions. The proceeds, amounting to
-595. were presented yesterday to
j Mrs. Lyman Gilbert, chairman of the
j local Red Cross organisation, by J.
I W. Kline, of the State Library, who
was formerly president of the club.
Mr. Kline lq his presentation state
ment salil: "These funds were con
tributed in large measures by mem
bers who ore already or who soon
I will be In the service, and by their
many Harrisburg friends. It Is the
desire of those, who remain that the
funds be used for the benefit of
those who are serving with the colors
and it is believed that this cun best
be accomplished through the brave
and untiring efforts of the Red
Cross."
"The Wharton School In Harris

IVeMust Go Over the Top
On Fourth Liberty Loan
"Suppose when my commanding officer brdered me to
take a detail of men into No-Man's-Land I had said,
'Let John do it, I have been out there through that mud
and cold three times.' I would have been placed against
a brick wall and shot quicker than I could say Jack
Robinson." These were the words of Captain Harris,
recently, in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce.
The same rule applies to us at home who are backing
up our boys. We have no right to say "Let some one
else buy bonds this time, I have bought once, twice and
three times. Our boys cannot refuse to go over the top,
no matter how many trenches they have captured. They
must Carry On Toward Victory at any cost. So the least
we can do is to back them up with the money that sup
plies them with munitions.
