RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
'BY KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to
remove from our Council Rev. Julius Lemmer,
in the prime of life; and whereas, by the death
of Father Lemmer, the Knights of Columbus
have lost a most loyal and devoted brother,
the Church, a Zealous, faithful and devout
Priest, his father and his family, a loving,
kind and noble son and brother, and the State
a good and patriotic citizen;
Be it, therefore, resolved by Melrose Council Number 1633, Knights of Columbus, that while
we humbly bow before tlie wisdom of ad all-
wise God in taking one of his faithful servants
to an early reward, we cannot help but feel
that the untimely death of our Reyerend brother is a distinct loss to us, to the church, to his
aged father and family and to the state.
Be it further resolved, that   we   extend to
his   father  and  his  brothers and  sisters   our
heart-felt-sympathy in their sad bereavement.
Be it further resolved, that this council
procure holy Masses to be said for the. soul of
our Reverend brother.
Be it further resolved, that the Charter of
this Council be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days.
Be it further resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the records of this council; that they be published in the following
newspapers: Der Nordstern, St. Cloud, Minn,
The Pierz Journal, Pierz, Minn., The Melrose
Beacon, Melrose, Minn., and the Catholic Bulletin, St. Paul, Minn., and that copies thereof
be mailed to the father and the brothers and
sisters of our Reverend deceased   brother.

Will Fight Parcel Post.
The revised express rates,
which go into effect for all companies February 1st, will be
radically lower than the rates
now in effect.
In many instances the new
charge will be as much as 50
per cent lower than the present
charge. The new rates have
been drawn up to meet those of
the parcel post and in some
cases have been made lower
than the government rate.
This is especially true in the
case of long hauls.
