Receipts for Three Months
Nearly $4,000
Parcel Post Business Helps
to Swell the Receipts Of
the Local Office.

That the local post Office has been
a busy place during the quarter end
ing December 31st is evidenced by
the report of Postmaster Nels Mel
son. Mr.. Nelson gives out the in
formation that it was the biggest
quarter in the history of the local
Office and that his receipts for the
three months would run very close
to So, 900.
The parcel post business which is
growing by leaps and bounds has
helped to swell the receipts at the
office in this city.
Where the post Office receipts are
large it is an indication that business
in the city has also been good during
the past three months.

WILL TALK OVER
BUSINESS EVILS
Merchants and Business Men
to get Together
A Rousing Meeting to be
Held at the Commercial
Club on Friday.

A meeting which will undoubtedly
prove of good deal of benefit to all
in attendance will be held at the
Commercial Club rooms on Friday
evening of next week when the evils
of business will be discussed by busi-
ness men and others.
Some discussion along these lines
was had at the meeting held last
Friday evening and it was proposed
that every business man of the city
be invited to attend the meeting to
be held on Friday evening when a
general discussion will be had.
The evils of the credit system,
the present delivery system, the high
cost of living and plans to combat
the mail order business will be some
of the subjects that will be taken up
at the meeting to be held next Fri
day and a number of business men
and others are getting all primed UP
for speeches which will be delivered
on that evening.
The meeting is a sort of get to-
gether" meeting and all persons at
tending can feel free to discuss the
subjects before the meeting and sug-
gest remedies. 1t is likely that
more meetings along these lines will
be held in the nt pr future.

was held. at the Commercial Club
rooms on Monday evening of

the company located at the
