SHOW When Fort Collins can do everything as well as she can hold a poultry show Northern Colorado (will be known through the width and breadth of the west Quality personifies the show now in progress at the Masonic Temple building Old time fanciers in the opinion that never before has there been a show which equaled this in quality The White Orpingtons are a dream of purity in their whiteness and even Peggy the $10000 hen would have to move some to out shine them Birds of the quality of these are almost priceless In value by the true fancier as they represent many years of careful breeding and the expenditure of much money Some of the other classes which show much quality are the old favorite Barred Plymouth Rocks which were never before shown to- better advantage They have splendid bright golden shanks heads that are carried as high as queens and eveTy bit a- stately bone and size to meet the standard requirements Competition in White Rocks is the keenest ever seen in Northern Colorado and there will be no walk-away for anyone The saucy pert proud little Leghorns are ont in all colors White buff and brown rose and single cpmbed and make a splendid showing There is good quality in Orpingtons as well as in Black Orpingtons A few Black Minorcas as well as some White Minorcas are shown sionCrs was in session all morning fact it must be remembered that in and a few minutes past noon the new the large retail stores where women are employed it would be necessary to have additional help in order to take care of the Saturday business up to the late closing hour We need this board adjourn sine die Before ail our help and some extra on Sat-adjourning I wish to thank my fellow Jurday so that the eight-hour law vir-members for the courteous treatment tually means that another shift will STORES LIAY CLOSE SATURDAY NIGHTS your week-end shopping early" may be the word passed to the retail trade of the city as the result of twe new eight-hour law for women passed at the last general election according to the statements of local merchants who are considering a plan of closing stores at 6 Saturday evenings While the measure has not yet been signed it is likely that it will soon become a law and merchants are preparing for the contingency In the larger stores it would be necessary to have an extra shift of sales-ladies on Saturday under the present custom of remaining open until after 9 o'clock Many of the merchants have expreesed their willingness to close the stores at 6 on Saturday nights as is the custom in many of the larger cities If the retailers can agree On such a move it will save additional expense would mean no loss to the said the proprietor of a local store today lusiness which would be lost by closing at 6 would be very small and the saving in fuel and light would make it a profitable step In addition to this have to be put Some of the stores have plans under way for putting the regular daily clerks on the basis as demanded by law Miller manager of the State Mercantile Co which has the largest force of clerks of any store in city is" planning to put a new plan into effect tomorrow His plan at present is to divide the force into two shifts the first' going to work at 8:30 and the second at 9 each morning The ladies who cheek in' at 8:38 will be given an hour and thirty minutes for luftcb" and the others an hour' This plan has been' decided upon in view of the fact that the early business is light and tHie'shbppers'of the early morning are 'mostly men The bulk of the early business is said i mu vi uic muj iwiwn 1 to be groceries and in this department jmaie clerks are employed and hepce maS a ff a Lw 8- A An A AA would not bo affected by the change -It is not known when the measure wilt take effect but as jt is probable that at will be signed by Governor Ammons the merchants are' laying their plans to arrange their business in such a manner as to get the most advantageous service With the laun-deries the law works more of a hardship 'on account of the nylnner in the work comes in The matter giving the proprietors just cause for worry in order that they may geit tbework out on time and not violate the 8-hour law If the law provided for a forty-eight-hour week the arrangement would be simple but the measure as adopted regulates the hours' by the day prescribing eight hours for each working day Rural

the White Wyan-dottes and the shrill whistle of the Bantams is not displeasing A "large crowdt listened with interest as the lowly Barred Plymouth Rocks beautifully groomed White Plymouth Rocks
