Wednesday Closing of Food Stores Falls by Wayside ‘The Wednesday afternoon closing program adopted by the food stores of Highland Park early this sumâ€" mer, seems to have "fallen by the wayside" for several of â€"the local stores, resumed the "all day open" policy yesterday. Just what the outâ€" come of ‘the situation will be is not certain, but no doubt will be govâ€" erned by theâ€"majority. Several years ago the stores of Highland Park all closed on Thursâ€" day afternoon. People were accusâ€" tomed to the system and were conâ€" tent to abide by it. It is a fine thing for the employees to be able to have a half day off during the middle of the week, for the grind of serving the public six long days each week is trying. If all merâ€" chants and the public would coâ€"operâ€" ate this policy could be carried out successfully.

Then shall 1 see if not too great, nor small To suit my spirit and topi'we my powers; c Then shall 1 cheerfully greet the laboring hours, And cheerfully turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because 1 know for me my work is best.

Calling for help, the man was unable to awaken anyone. Are animals able to think? Wilâ€" liam Osborn, 306 Park ave., Kl‘.l-t mette, would probably testify this is undoubtedly true, because toâ€" day he is alive, due to valuable asâ€" sistance given him by a house cat at a time of great need. Suddenly realizing that perhaps the house cat might be of some avail, he summoned her and directed her upstairs to the sleeping roomâ€" ers. The cat went upstairs quickly and made such a disturbance that someone finally sensed trouble, and came downstairs to find him. No Epidemic of Infantile Paralysis in Highland Park According to Dr. D.
