EVERETT GIVES OPTION
$25,OOO.OO the Price Which
Milwaukee Parties WI
Pay for the Everett Resort
On Catfish Lake.

Last week Thursday a sixty
day option was given on the
Everett Resort to j. Darling
who, with several Milwaukee
capitalists contemplate pur.
chasing the holdings of E. A
Everett on Catfish and Gran
berry lakes. The price asked for
the property which consists Of
1872 acres and 80 cottages is
$25,O 100000.
The company in Milwaukee,
who have the option, are mostly
of the medical fraternity. Their
object if they purchase the resort
is not to turn it into a sanator-
ium, but to continue on the iden-
teal lines as has Mr.. Everett
that of a pleasure resort, where
boating, hunting, fishing and
healthful recreation are supreme.
They intend however, shonld
they purchase, to erect a build
ing for physical culture purposes
and add a string of saddle ponies
for the pleasure of the guests.
In addition a flock of Swiss
goats will be purchased and the
far famed goat milk diet for de-
bilitated patrons will be featured.
No chronic cases will be taken
care of-just those whose ner-
vous system needs a rest and the
business man who wishes to es-
cape thestrain ofevery day work.
Mr.. Everett will, in case the
deal is closed, manage the resort
for the coming year. About
$1,000 will be expended the first
season upon new cottages and
buildings by the concern.

CLOSE STORE EVENINGS
Local Merchants Shut Up
Shop, Beginning Monday
Next--Too Many Hours in
Business.

The local merchants, those
who handle groceries. drvgoods
meats, -four, feed, etc, have
signed articles whereby they will
close their places of business at
six O'Clock each evening of the
week except Wednesdays and
Saturdays when they will keep
open until nine O'Clock. They
will also close their doors daily
between 1915 and l p. m.
Those firms who will close are:
The Persohn Company.
August We'll.
G. L. Carter,
Jas. Morgan & Sons.
When it is known that the av-
erage merchant and his clerks
are compelled to put in from
twelve to sixteen hours daily
and without time wherein to eat
a meal, the change is a wise one.
Nearly every city and village
have long since inaugurated the
early closing act, and it has re-
suited in just as much business
in fewer hours of service and
gives more time for the. business
man and clerks to recreate. The
closing of the stores at the noon
hour, is however a new wrinkle
but undoubtedly will meet the
approval of the trade. It also
gives the store men an oppor-
tunity to enjoy hot dinner and
adequate time in which to mas
ticate it.
At a meeting held by the mer-
chants when the early closing
was put into effect, the question
of stated time for delivery of
goods was also brought up, but
no definite conclusion was form
ed. AS the delivery of goods is
now carried on, while it works
to the advantage of the delin
quent house wife, it keeps the de-
liveryman on the GO from early
morning till late at night and is
an exceedingly expensive luxury
for the merchant. A change to
regular delivery periods and
shorter hours for the delivery
man would. if put into effect,
cause no inconvenience Except
to those who always are 'elin-
quent iii ordering) but would
form. a more complete system
for ali.
Beginning Monday the above
stores will close 40 minutes at
noon and at six O'Clock evenings
except Wednesdays and Satur-
DAYS. 1t is wise move and
should have been done long ago.
