posed change In the Sunday hours of
the Mexico Postoffice have been re-
cewed at the Ledger office. All but

Of the proposed change. Now, the
Ledger does propose 20 keep the
community stirred up regarding this
matter by assisting in any way in
creating bad feeling. As far as the

cerned, we stand for all movements

Everybody We bear talk about &
wants 70 rest ono day in seven.
Why should We not, as far as posi-
bic, favor giving the other fellow
the same opportunity. The eonten-
ton against this proposition made by
some Is more or less Of a joke. The
