FUEL ORDER CLOSES
MOST OF THE STORES
To the Fanner
Saturday is Clinton's big
market day, because the farmers
have formed the habit of coining
to the town• on that day to do
their shopping, and they bring
their *three. r

While drug' store.:; are permitted
to remain op,:n on Saturday, and
bracer stores may do business Sat.
forenoon, and other 'sto'res will be
closed. Clinton Inerch nts are ar-

urday trade on Friday.
Farmers . are urged, thcr3 fo"1,

fact that stores will be 'closed Sat-
urday and Monday. Barber shops
111,o keep open Friday night
but are closed. Saturday and Mon-
day. ,
To The Shopper
It is the patriotic ditty of every
person to assist that fuel controller
hi his effort 10 conserve e ihr coal
supply. The order issued requir
ing merchants and manilfactin'ers
to close their places' of business
Saturday and'Montiay is ,a distinct
hardship to those business tiled.
Merchants who had 'their plaits
laid for next Saturday's trade have
been obliged to make a quick
change, but they are doing so
cheerfully, knowing that they are
making a sacrifice in the interests
of the whole people.
The public should realize this
and see that their week -end pur-
chases are made on Friday. So
for as special sales are concerned
and from all other viewpoints,
Saturday this week, will come on
Friday. Keep thus in mind—Store
closed Saturday and ' Monday,
