SHALL POSTOFFICE
CLOSE ON SUNDAy??

Petitions are in circulation request
ing the Postmaster to close the Grand
Rapids post-office on Sundays. They
are being literally signed by heavy
patrons Of the post-office. The argu-
ments used in favor of closing the
p0st-office on the Sabbath day are
many. First That the employees il
the post-office may have the benefits
Of the Sabbath day like all others.
Second: That all Christian people
favor the observance Of the Sabbath
in every way possible, that they would
like to 60 even farther by asking
the Government to likewise give the
mail clerks on the trains their liber
ties in this respect. Third: That
mail getting is like many other things
we do on the Sabbath, a thing of
force of habit.
There are some business men, who
receive many of their orders on thI
Sabbath that need prompt attention
early Monday morning. If they can
not secure their mail on Sunday, they
lose some orders, which they might
otherwise get. We are all more or
less selfish and look upon the mat
ter of closing the post-office on Sun
day from that standpoint We IA
yor the closing Of the post-office on
Sunday, if in so doing, more good
will come to the patrons than by hav
ing it open
We personally know that upon the
Sabbath day many people especial
" among the young folks) make it
habit to call at the post-office for
mail, who probably dc not get one let
ter in months, and it is these people
who add their share of work to the
hustIing employees.
We hope some arrangement can be
made for Sabbath closing which will
be acceptable to all

EXCITING GAME
OF POLO
The Grand Theatre Team De-
feats Peerless Team 2 to |.

A large crowd of skaters and spec
tators witnessed an exciting game of
Polo Friday night at the Roller Skat-
ing Rink. This game was probably
one of the best yet played in the
Rink. The Grand Theatre team de-
feated the Peerless team by the
score of two to one. The game was
fast from the start to finish. The
Peerless team led at the close of the
first period but in the last period
the Grand Theatre team came back
strong and won out. Plummer Steen
made a goal in the first period and
c. w. Tiede made two in the last
period. The following is the line
up:
GRAND THEATRE TEAM PEERLESS TEAM
Fred Gaffney, 1st rush Art Quinnel
Len Casberg End rush Plummer Steen
c. N. Tiede center and capt Rube Foster
James Welch half back Roy Nelson
Lloyd Allie goal John KalInan
Z. Anderson sub Frank Drumb
Considerable interest and rivalry
exists between these two teams on
account of their being about equally
well equipped for the playing of this
popular game. Another contest Will
probably take place in the near fu.
ture.

RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL

Since the Ladies of the Federation
have taken an interest in the River
view Hospital and it's management
With the physicians of Grand Rapids,
many changes are being inaugurated.
They have already secured many sub
scriptions Of money from the various
civic societies in the city and many
Of the clubs and other organizations
are taking it upon themselves to fur
nIsh several rooms in the building
with the necessary equipment. The
interior is being entirely renovated
and decorated, and the exterior will
be freshly painted as soon as the
weather will permit. New furniture
bedding, and sanitary apparatus for
the better care and comfort of the
patients are being provided. When
the contemplated improvements and
are provided, this hospi-
tai Will be one Of the best, for its
size, in Central Wisconsin. The per-
fectness of this institution should
be of great interest to every citizen
in Grand Rapids for we never know
when sickness or an accident may
oVertake us or our friends and they
may then be in need of the facilities
and comforts which this institution
will afford. The Ladies of the Fed
Grafton and in fact, all of those who
are contributing toward this end are
entitled to great credit 1t will un-
doubtedly be carried on from now on.
We commend it to our citizens.

day that this treaty lis the logical
conclusion of the protection plank in
the last Republican national plat
form" and it certainly has proved the
old saw that the tariff question is a
local issue. Badger farmers, viewing
their broad fields of rye and barley
will hesitate to give their endorse
ment. But these same good Americans
would just as soon have wood pulp
fibre come in free. But the men in
the paper business care little about
free grains but see trouble ahead
for them if paper and it's ingredients
are admitted without protective duty
But again the millions of ultimate
consumers are going to favor reci-
procity with Canada and also with
other countries because it will have
a tendency to lower the living cost in
general even though it may hit home
goods and products quite hard here
and there.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR BOY

Exercise as He Wants.

Let Him Play Host and Have Is Much
Exercise as He Wants.
Grant the boy the privilege of hav-
ing his friends to meals "a often as
you can conveniently arrange for it.
Perhaps you are among those fortu
nate ones who have large family
with big table where the addition
of an extra plate counts for little. II
such is the case your way Is simple,
Should there be several sons to plan
for, consider system of rotation that
each may have his guests in fair
ratio. If your family is small, so that
it is desirable to have little notice
in advance before adding another
hearty boys appetite to those you have
reckoned for. fix on a certain time
when your boy may ask a friend In
to dinner or supper. Boys are delight
fully uncritical creatures. Give them
a cordial welcome and plenty Of food
and they will never miss frills of
serving.
Study other compensadons for the
abstinence from racketing you de-
mand from your boy while he Is at
home Provide him chances to let of
steam elsewhere, in places intended
for just such relaxations. Send him
out into the open on holidays and give
him the means Of pursuing any ath-
let1c sport which attracts him.
