The first of these is the matter of summer closing hours, and the other the question of promot ing a “Try Augusta First” campaign. Various plans for summer closing are in vogue in New England cities and the Saturday afternoon apd eve ning plan is rapidly gaining favor as it gives owners and clerks an opportuni ty to get in a real rest period or to leave town for the codntfy over the week end. Other cities merely adopt the 5 o’clock closing rule during the summer, giving an extra hj>ur each day and omitting the usual Saturday evening grill during the hot months, i Still others take one afternoon each week which varies in different sec tions, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thuu day being the most common days. Au gusta ha3 adopted the Wednesday closing rule, closing at noon during the months of July and August. This plan is not universally favored as the plumbers work Wednesdays and this requires more or less opening by the hardware men, and the bakers claim that they cannot shut down because of the nature of their business. This promises to test the capacity of the Augusta merchants as to their spirit of cooperation and their ingenuity in working out a satisfactory plan. The second question has been par tially worked out In committee with the able assistance of Secretary Clarke, who has collected material from va rious sources and a well-written report will be read giving practical sugges tions for the promotion of a “loyalty to Augusta” or a “Try Augusta First” eampalgn. There is plenty of food for thought for the progressive merchant in this report. Since the Chamber <5f Commerce be gan Its work in Augusta there has been a growth in cooperation among the merchants of the city that is most grat*tying, and in addition to his many other duties as secretary-manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Clarke lias found time to conduct various ac tivities in their interests. The Cham ber of Commerce, however, is only par tially a merchants' organization, as its program is a community program pri marily. Hence the merchants have been formed into a separate bureau and are to elect their officers today to carry on the affairs of that buVcau. Non-Support Case At Municipal Court Charles B.
