F. Il. ROSEbUSH
SPEAKS At STATE
HEALTH MEETING

Franz Rosebush, employment man
ager of the Nekoosa- Edwards Paper
Co., attended a meeting of the State
Board of Health at Madison the past
week and addressed the meeting on
the general subject of what the work
of the Industrial Nurse means to In
dustry." Mr. Rosebush in the course
of his address explained the work ac-
complished at the Port Edwards mills
and the work undertaken in the town
itself. He also offered suggestions as
to the future relations of the industri-
al nurse and the public welfare.
Health in communities was also ex-
planned by Mr.. Rosebush, who recon-
mended certain higher standards for
the care of children.
The meeting was held under the
supervision of Mrs. Mary Morgan, di-
rector of Child Welfare of the State
Board of Health. Miss Lennon of
the Consolidated Co. in this city and
Miss Bea, of Riverview Hospital, also
attended the meeting.

POSTMASTER
GENERAL HAYS
MAKINGGOOD

Our National Postwar is certainly
making good. Promptly upon his as
sumption of Office he committed him.
self with characteristic directness and
frankness to the achievement of those
reforms of the Department, both SUBJ
jective and objective, of which the
last few years have disclosed so press
ing need. 1t was a striking incident
for Mr.. Hayes to visit the New York
Postoffice and personally make a
heart-to-heart address to the assembl-
ed employees, and to do the same at
Washington, Chicago, and elsewhere
No other Postmaster General in all
our history, we believe, ever did such
a thing. But still more striking was
the occasion of his so doing.
For it is one thing to make fine
promises during campaign, before
election, and it is very different
thing to make specific pledges after
election and the assumption of office.
In doing that, Mr.. Hays is acting in
accord with President Harding him
self; who, having made some notable
and specific campaign promises of
radical reforms in the conduct of the
Administration, delighted his friends
and quite f1abbergasted his critics by
scrupulously fulfilling them in the
most matter of-course way. In an
Administration which thus honors it's
advance obligations it is perfectly fit
ting and consistent to have other obi
cations incurred after election; and
to have them also loyalty fulfilled, as
we have no question these will be.
So far as the subjective interests of
the Postoffice Department are con-
cerned, Mr.. Hays's policy is expressed
in a single phrase. He purposes to
humanize it. That intent was mani
tested in his going before the en-
| ployees as he did, man to man. The
demand Of Labor throughout the land
| has long been that workmen shall be
regarded by their employers not as
machines or as chattels but as fellow
men. The Postmaster General is the
head of the greatest industrial estab-
| lishment in the world, with 100000
employees on it's payrolls. He pledges
himself to regard their labor in com
mon with his own, mot as mere

STATEMENT 0F
THEPOSTMASTER
GENERAL To
THE PRESS

The purpose is to develop a closer
and a very intimate relation with the
Senate and House Committee on
Postoffice and Post Roads; to endeavor
to have these committees Jointly oc-
cupy position as nearly as possible

nave them advising continually as to
the methods of Improvement and oper-
alton and to take an active, continuing
and increasing interest in the service.
In addition it is proposed to make
the "Joint Commission on Postal Ser
vice., occupy a position analogous to
the executive committee Of any board
of directors in any large business,
giving still more attention to the bust
ness of the Department and very de-
fjnilely participating in the largest
way in the effort to improve and main
tain the service.
This Joint Commission on Postal
Service was created last year by Act
of Congress and consists of the Chair
man and five members of the Senate
and five members of the House Com
mittees on Postoffice and Post Roads,
and a postal expert appointed by the
Postmaster General, together with an
Advisory Council provided for in the
Act to serve without pay, consisting
of seven persons experienced in busl-
ness and commercial transactions to

PETITIONS ASK
FOR DAYLIGHT
saving HERE
LOCAL INDUSTRIAL PLANTS AND
BUSINESS HOUSES ASKED BY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IF
DAYLIGHT PLAN is WANTED.

The daylight saving plan for Wis
consin Rapids will largely be deter
mined by the petition now being cir
culated in the city by committees of
the local Chamber of Commerce. It is
proposed that the city adopt the plan
on midnight of April 10 and keep it
until midnight of October 1st. It will
mean that the clocks will be set ahead
exactly one hour during that period.
Visit Industries.
Many Of the local industries will be
or have been visited by representa-
tives of the Chamber of Commerce
who are securing signatures on the
petitions. Local industries are also
taking hold of the situation as for
example the Consolidated which start
ed a questionable among it's en-
ployees to determine their will about
the saving plan. The men are asked to
vote yes or no on the proposition. The
local houses will also be visited on the
plan to determine the will of the bust
ness district 1t is expected that the
local people will favor the plan.
Has Many Advantages.
There are many advantages to the
plan of saving daylight, chief among
them being the privilege of enjoying
daylight for longer part of the dav.
the evenings especially when people
want to work in their gardens. on
their lawns, take outings and motor
trips. The clocks being set ahead will
not mean earlier opening of stores or
earlier time to report for work as far
as the hour basis is concerned. Eight
o'clock new time will be eight o'clock
but it will come one hour earlier by
the sum-
Some objections are raised, the main
one being, inconvenience to the out
side people who come here. It is
thought that the advantages will out
weigh the objections.-Daily Tribune.
We personally believe the change
will revert to the majority of our peo-
pie and therefore we favor it.

THOUGHT, humane
WEEK ll-l7
By A. E. Frederick,
State Humane Officer

"Think on these things" st. Paul
In the hurry of life we often do not
take time to think Especially is this
true with regard to our relations to-
ward dumb animals Much neglect
and cruelty is often caused by
thoughtlessness.
This being true, humane workers OF
the country have set aside one week in
the year to stimulate activity along
humane lines, and to turn the thoughts
of the nation to the great fundamental
principles of kindness and mercy.
Humane Week, April 18th to 18th,
may be observed in many different
ways Appropriate humane exercises,
programs, stories, essays, and contests
in the schools on Friday afternoon of
this week, and the discussion of a
humane subject in the pulpits on Sun
day, April 18th, will form effective
means of reaching both young and
old with a message. Then, in the
homes this lesson may also be taught.
Let not only the teacher and the
preacher but also the parent teach and
foster the humane spirit.
Wisconsin, ever at the front in all
great movements, must not fail IN
this. There is no greater thought
than that of mercy, no greater ser
mon than that on. kindness, and no
greater religion than these virtues
practiced.
Let us all observe Humane Week,
April 18th to 18th! Let US stop and
think, that we may learn to be kind!
