WERE YOUAM0NG THEM?
SUBSCRIBERS RESPOND TO LET.
TER ON POSTAL RuLINa-
SOME RAVE NOT ;.

Since last week quite number more
Of our subscribers have responded to
our letter in relation TO the postoffice
department ruling, some with checks,
s9me with money orders and some with
notes, and as consequence are in good
standing on our books and ready for
the postoffice department inspection.
We thoroughly agree with some of
our subscribers who think that it is
no affair of the government if we wish
to extend them credit. The govern
ment does not exactly say that we
cannot, but does say that if we 60
beyond the allowed time, that we can
not send the paper at the second class
postage rate, or in effect that we must
put stamps on each paper of this class
sent through the mails. As stated be-
fore, besides the extra postage, this
system would create great deal Of
extra labor, as two separate lists would
have to be maintained. You cannot
afford to pay this extra amount nor
can we stand the extra expense.
There is no reason why every sub.
scriber on our books should not be in
good standing, as he can take advan-
tage of payment by note if his finances
are such that he cannot do otherwise at
this time.
We trust that each subscriber in ar
rears will attend to this matter at
once SO that our list will conform to
the ruling Of the postoffice department

Of Lucas Schrieber was laid over until
this evening, it being stated that that
gentleman was entering contract with

When the resolution for the Schriab!
er license was first voted on Alderman
Brown voted no, while Alderman Par
shall, Koslosky, G. A. Carlson and Hall
voted yes. Alderman Kiewel would
not vote at this time, explaining that
in his opinion this was similar case
to the Holland application except that
this time the applicant was a local
man. He stated that a saloon had q
right to do business with any one it
chose but that when it tied itself to
an outside concern for a period of
years to sell but their brand Of goods

PLAY AT SAUK RAPIDS SUNDAY
There will be no game on the local
grounds next Sunday as the locals
journey to Sauk Rapids to take on the
fast Benton County team for another

Some excellen1 practice work has
been done by the wearers Of the blue,
and if they win next Sundays game
some kind fanette will doubtless give
each member of the team a blue ribbon.
If it is a nice day a large number of
cars will make the trip.
