On the battle ground of progress the two fac tions of the Grocers' and Hutchers" association of South Ilend fought Monday night at a special meeting held at the Muessel store. 11:; N. Main st. The progressives won last night and put over resolutions which, if kept by the members of the association, may prove a great aid ir. the nation-wide program of economy. More than t." grocers and marketmen were at the banquet at which Pres't Mann, of the firm of Vox and Mann, presided. Charles Hrodbeck dropped the glove of the progressives into the ring when he asked that all members agree to the following resolutions: "That cartons, canned goods and other articles of merchandise attractively wrapped by the manufacturers be delivered by retailers without rewrapping. "That a second delivery on one

day to the same house be made at an extra charge." Explains Need of Economy. Mr. Prodbeck explained that his reasons for the first resolution were: The advanced cost from ::00 to 300 per cent. in the price of twine and

I wrapping paper, and second in the

price of paper bags. He illustrated

point by reminding his fellow

members of the lady who makes several purchases at other stores in town, then comes to the grocery store for perhaps a five cent purchase with a request for a large bag in which to place all of her parcels. In the delivery problem, Mr. Prodbeck contended that it is impractical and extravagant to make more than one delivery to the same house in one day. Regarding the six o'clock closing agreement, the conservatives held that some of the store were situated near factories where the men were not dismissed until six o'clock and one grocer remarked, "what is the use of turning the- trade away during our busiest hour?" His cpuestion was answered by Herman Earn:, who reminded the members that some years ago the

same fight was waged because a

All of the companies including the athletes and extra companies headed by the university band marched to the held at S::;o and the inspection was not I completed until 12 o'clock. The bronze medals for the best company j was awarded to Co. 15, with Jennings Vurpillat as captain. Co. A. under J.. James as captain was awarded .second place by the inspector, j The work of the Notre Dame (companies was far better than in the past and the inspection was particularly good in view of the fact that 'officers had not been previouslv no-

few i tilled that the inspector was coming

of the members wanted to close at 10 o'clock at niyht. while the same conservatives wished to remain open as long as there was anyone on the street. The - resolutions as expressed by Mr. Firodbeck were passed by the members. Following the business meeting, a banquet was held in the store.
