The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1907-11-24

eating a bill to be passed at the COM
ing session of congress for penny pos
tage against the parcels post bill. The
subject will come up for discussion
at the regular post meeting next Sat
urday night and the opinions of the
members will be given on this most
important subject, which is one that
affects travelling men very generally,
as it is a well known fact that the
large mail order houses are in favor
of the parcel post bill and this is GER
tainly a detriment to the average trav-
cling man.
Ladies' Night Entertainment.
A very interesting ladies night was
held Saturday night, and most ex-
cellent luncheon was prepared by the
members. and a splendid time was af-
! forded all who We're in attendance.
The crowd was not as large as the
members in charge had expected, and
we feel that proper appreciation Q
the efforts of the hard working mem
bers, who have been behind ne ladies'
night entertainment proposition, was
not given. These entertainments are
given not for the few hard working
members, who further the project, but
for the interest of the members and
their families in general and if the
members and their families in general
do not take sufficient interest in the
excellent entertainments to be il at
tendance, it Is not very encouraging
to those who get them up. We sin
cerely trust that if our directors Sc
fit to have another ladies' night enter
tainment, that a better ATTENDING
can be reported, and we know full wei
that every one attending can repor
nothing but splendid good time.

Hudson, urges that every city whers
there is T. P. A. post should have 8
