High Wins at Roberts

The high school ball team went
to Roberts last Saturday to meet
the high school team of that place
AS Hudson had beaten that team 10
to at Hudson, and as Roberts was
touted as one of the hardest hitting
teams in this section, the locals
seemed up against it. 1t seemed
even more so when Roberts went to
the front in the first inning with a
score of 2 to 0. They stayed in
front until the third inning, when
the locals tied it up. BY that time
River Falls seemed to have got
their eyes on the ball, and from
then on the game was hardly in
doubt. 1t was TO in their favor
In the fifth, 5 to in the sixth, 10 to
2 in the eighth, and 10 to 4 in the
ninth. For the most part, River
Falls played gilt-edge fielding
Gregor and Chapman pulling down
hard stunts time after time, the
rest of the team assisting them on
occasion. At the bat, too, the boys
delivered the goods, getting 16 hits,
two of them for three bases each
and one a double. Jeff" also had
Roberts at his mercy at all times
except for luckyhit or two in he
first. Only five times did Rob-
erts connect safely, while just one
got to base by the walk route, and
six whitfield. Roberts may play re.
turn game here the first week in
June.

20, 1918.
MEMORIAL GENERAL ORDERS:
In accordance with the rules and

1t is hoped that every comrade,
who is able, will join in the march
to the cemetery, where the exercises

The flying years have added ma
terially TO the work of decorating

aags and flowers, and it is with
pleasure that we note that this work
has been lifted from our shoulders
by the kindness of the camp of the
Sons of Veterans, and our auxiliary,
the Women's Relief Corps, has al.
ways come to our aid and helped in
this work, and, in fact all kinds of
work PERTAINING to our Post, which
we are very thankful for.
Invitation is hereby extended to
the city officers, firemen, and the
various civic societies; also the
Spanish War veterans and all citi-
zens, to join with us in the observ-
ance of the day, in reviving the

which passed a resolution that bells
be tolled from twelve o'clock, noon,
until 1905; that flags be placed al
half-mast, and that comrades re
main standing with uncovered

asked to refer to this in his address,

make reference to that event Sun

Turn Aside
The Stream!

THE trade current that has
4 been setting steadily in the
direction of the big mail or
der houses can now be diverted
toward the small merchant. The
parcel post allows each individ-
ual storekeeper to develop
mail order business within his
own district at a lower postal
rate than any one outside Of it
can ship goods to customers
within it. By adopting the same
advertising methods which the
mail order houses have used for
their own benefit and profit In
the past and organizing an eff
Gent shipping department the
small merchant Is now enabled
to build up a profitable trade in
a greatly widened field.
The parcel post is educating
buyers to know that the store
nearer home can serve them
lust as reasonably and far more
quickly and satisfactorily than
the mail order house.

MAY MODIFY
TARIFF BILL
Leaders and President Do
Not Object to Tariff Dis
counts Being Cut Out

Washington, May 2S.-Congress in
all probability will yield to the pro-
tests of foreign nations against the
provision in the Underwood tariff bill
granting S per cent tariff discount on
all imports In American owned or
controlled vessels. That the prOvi
sion can be eliminated from the bill
without harm and that congress has
no desire to insist upon legislation
that will be embarrassing to foreign
nations or to interfere with treaty
obligations was admitted by admins.
tration leaders who are in charge of
the bill.
President Wilson is said to have in.
timated thrt he did not object to hav-
ing the clause eliminated. This ac-
ton, it is reported, will be recom-
mended by the senate finance sub
committee, headed by Senator Will
liams, which is considering the admin
istrative features of the bill The
subcommittee will also seek to mod
ify another clause, which compels for
eign merchants to submit their books
to an American agent in cases of dis
Iuted valuations, and provides as a
penalty for refusal that the goods be
excluded from entry. Germany, Eng
land and France made strong pro-
tests against this clause.
AS the senate subcommittee got
down to bedrock and began the con-
sideration of the proposed changes in
the bill they found the long job ahead
Of them and spurred on to finish the
schedules within week, if possible,
and they proposed to hold day and
night sessions, but some of them fear
ed even then they would be unable to
be ready for full committee before
10 days.
Several democratic leaders were
emphatic in the declaration that what
ever is done by The committees there
will be no changes in raw wool or
sugar. The fight to change them will
be made in the caucus.
