STOKES CLOSE EARLY
Splendid Agreement Which Will Conserve Much Coal and Allow
Clerks and Proprietors
a Little-Freedom.
By mutual, agreement our- business
men will close then? stores and. offices
at 6:00 p. m. every evening except
Wednesdays and Saturdays during
the months of January, Fehruary and
March.
Inasmuch as there, is very little
business transacted' at night during1
these months, andi in. further view of
the fact there is a tremendous shortage of coal in every part of the union,
the gentlemen in the agreement are
to be congratulated on the stand they
have taken. In addjition to conserving a considerable amount of fuel
necessary for heating and lighting,
the action also gSves proprietors and
clerks an opportunity to enjoy a fow
evenings of the year in any manner
they may see fit. It is no sinecure,
.being tied down to a:ny jata 14 to 18
hours a day twelve months in 1 lie
year-
The early closing movement is being put into effect! in nearly every
town in the United! States,, and. has
the hearty endorsement of the offi-B
cials at Washington. The following
timely article appeared in a recent
jjssue ofl the Dry Q'oods Reporter and
probably will 'result im making daylight shopping popular in many dis-
tti'iets where it has never been tried
before:
"In the Jarge cities of the country
business houses aire turning off their
gr^at electri'c signs at night to conserve coal* In many of the department stores men have been detailed
to go through the building regularly
anid| turn off all* lights that are not
absolutely needed, -
"Are country merchants less patriotic than city merchants? Will the
country merchants continue to keep
the stores open unti a I hours of the
night burning 'up coal that their -city
brothers are trying so hard, to save?
"Wei think not We believe that"
country merchants who have never
closed; their stores at six will now do
so to save doail in their furnaces and
coal in the lighting plants. that illuminate their towns.
"In. hundreds of country towns the
general sltores are the last business
houses to put out the lightSj. These
stares are kept open more from force
of habit than from necessity.
"Nfow, however, the time has come
when all unnecessary waste must be
stopped. To keep the store open after
six in the evening is a waste of energy and! a waste of eoajl, which is a
gr.eat war problem.
"Surely the retail, merchants of this
country who are not now closing their
stores at a reasonable hour will not
wait until forced to clpse by the government.
"The sjlogan must be 'lights out at
six' in every store in the 'country, because it has been demonstrated satis-
fiactotrily that it ^s not njeeessary to
keep the store open evenings. It is a
waste to do so.
"Only oil Saturday night is if necessary to keep the stjore op|en after, six.
Even on Saturday night the closing
hour may be -brought forward considerably in many stores without inconveniencing customers in the least.
"Ships, cannons, shells, trucks and
all the engines of war now in the
making or to be made depend|s upon
the supply of 'coal available. The
government says we must conserve
the cpal supply in every possible way,
"In the home. In .the store and in
the factory every pound of coal that
is wasted retards our war efficiency
and sets backward the day when our
boys will come back-from 'over there.'
"Make daylight shopping popular."

What a happy thought, that in the

us a -new dean start in life, that He
gives us three hundred and sixty-five
golden opportunities and says, Make
the best of them.
It is high time that some, of us
wake up to what is going on,. Never
was the world so alive as today- Such
vital issues in the balance, the calls
of providen'ce so challenging and' so
much dependfing on our1 individual
actions, as at this hour of the world's
agony and stress, when the destiny
of untold centuries seems forming in
our very midst. I know we dread the
immediate future. Our vision is so
narrow and circumscribed, but with
Christ's handjgrip and a steadfast
iiaith in God, we need fear no evil for
we are keeping step with the onward
march of the conquering legions of
righteousness, destined to establish
peace on earth and good will among
all peoples.
CIRCUIT COURT WILL
CONVENE JANUARY 7TH
Judge Kinne Retires and Judge-Elect
George W. Sample Will Preside.
Judge Ediward D. Kinne Monday
rounded out 30 years of active service as circuit judge of Washtenaw
dounty and retired from the bench.
He is succeeded! by Judge George W.
Sample.
Judge Kinne was originally elected
to the Washtenaw-Monroe counties
circuit court judgeship and served
the two countisjs for some 16 or 18
years. During all those years he was
frequently obliged to hold three session's of court daily; The salary was
$2,500, «.
The pressure of \vjork had become
so great that the Washtenaw-Monroe
was then1 sj(lit igito two circuits and
Judge Kinne became circuit judge in
this county at a salary of 14,000.
Eventually the salary was increased
to §5,000 audi for several years past
it has been $6,000.
Judge Kinjne was the guest of honor
at a banquet given Thursday evening
by the miembers of the Washtenaw
bar5 assoociation, commemorating h's
long andl faithful, service;
The retiring judge has been president of the Mrst National bank ol
Ann Arbor for "many years and hereafter will devote his entire time to
his bank duties."
The iclrcuit ctourt will reopen on
January 7th with the new Judge,
George W. Sample, presidiing.
It is the general opinion among the
lawyers that the court will have to
adjourn again at that time on account
of the great amount of work before
the lawyers of the county on the
questionnaires of the registered men,
and that the lawyers will not-be ready
to take up court work for at least
two weeks after that d^te.
As the presiding judge is chairman
of the legal :advisory board, atnd as
this work is government work for
which the lawyers have been" practa-
cally. 'drafted^.it, j§ .expected,thatsthe
work on" the questionnaires will have
the right of way 'until finished.

How Would You Like It?      •
How would you like to sit down at
your desk, run over your, accounts and
absorb the knowledge that anywhere
from one to five hundred people were
indebted to you in sums varying from
50 'cents to §2.00 an<5 upward?
And how would you like to meet
those good, people day by day without
their ever thinking of offering you the
small amount due?
And how would you like to see these
same good .people paying their other
good bills promptly month by month
and again forgetting yours?
And| wouldn't you just revel in the
knowledge that all oi these small
amounts combined, if suddenly collected, would swell your bank account
to the time of §500 to §1,000?
When, you reach the point -where
you .can appreciate the grim; humor of
such a condition, and "keep right on
smiling, "you-will have qualified yourself for the life of a country editor.—
