ANOTHER PETITION FOR EARLY 0LO8ING, Another petition- -has been dn circu­ lation for the early “closing of busi­ ness houses and it should have the support of every business .man in that the movement is being commended ■from all -sources. It Is just that the merchants and their employes should have a few evenings in the week for themselves and their families., _ The stores in the cities must un­ der the new law close every evening, Saturday evenings Included, As a re­ sult business has increased during the day and certain, expenses neces-. sary at^nlght have been eliminated. Not One merchant in ten sells enough at night to meet the expense of re­ maining open, save only Saturday nights, • , Co-operatlbn among the business men on this subject would result In the benefit of all. The hesltency of one signing such a petition is due to the fact that a competitor may re­ main open. We would suggest that those who have «lgtted#remain closed on the nights proposed and give the plan, a trial, The public would soon support the stored In doing their trading -through the day, FIRST CONTRIBUTION.

WEEKLY MAXIM. “ The flower of sweetest smell is shy and lowly.” Part of the re­ markable varieties and attractive­ ness of the flower showing*every spring is the result o f the steady progress of this country to word such love of nature’s profusion of beautiful tints and shapes, In blos­ som anil leaf, As the English have long sho;#n, under less favorable climate conditions, and the Dutch have manifested In their cultivation of flowers of evory kind. The American tasto for flowers is fast growing stronger and finer, under the influence of natural ,wealth and culture. Itis a fashion too beauti­ ful even to loss its vogue. It tea proof ot the development of Ameri­ can civilization. How rapid the gains m this direction are Indicated by the extraordinary expansion of th business 6t the florists. The census shows that hardly any other Industry has made such grogress, in rate of per cent of increase, as the growing flowers, Every season the demand for the beautiful wares ofjtlie flower dealers shows a gain beyond the rate of expansion in the population of the country. It is a form of progress. Nothing hut innocent joy in the exqusite beauty of nature can come from the love o f flowers kept within anything like modest bounds. The whole influence of blossoming plants and shrubs makes for refinement, goodness and elevation of thought and feeling. Fair Was Financial Success.
