N. B. Ludowese, 42-2t City Auditor, Williston, N. D. State Historical Ooclfty EARLY CLOSING.

There is a movement among the clerks of Williston to try and get a six o'clock closing hour. Now reader did you ever stop to think how many hours a clerk works? From seven o'clock in the morning until eight at thirteen hours. How much time does the clerk get for pleasure? Would it not be better for the employer and all concerned, if the business houses all closed at six o'clock except Saturday nights? We believe that the people of Williston would be in sympathy with the clerks if they realized the hours they put in, and would be in favor of an early closing. The clerks would certainly be more efficient and would be worth more to their employers and also give the public better service. And as soon as the people get used to the six o'clock closing they would find that it is just as convenient for them.

The clerks are going to circulate a petition among their customers askthey are in favor of early closing. Will you sign it? The Clerks of Williston. The following petition will be circulated among you for your signature: Would you be in favor of six o'clock closing of all the stores in the city of Williston excepting drug and confectionery stores on all days except Saturday's, if so, will you favor us with your signature? This move is started by the clerks of Williston on account of the long hours that both the men and women clerks have to contend with at the present time. A clerk works from twelve to thirteen hours a day, giving him no time whatever at home or with his family. We feel that by your co-operation and assistance this can be accomplished and not hurt are sure that the merchants of Williston wonld be greatly in favor of closing if they were satisfied that it would meet with the approval of their customers.

The Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church will hold a food sale in the office of Champine Mooney next Saturday April 13th beginning at 2 o'clock.
