BAGGAGE QUESTION SOLVED
Extra Men and Increased Room Pre-
. pared for Big Week.

Facilities for handling baggage dur
ing Grand Army week have been more
than doubled, so that the railroad and
baggagemen expect to be able to care
for the baggage Of 10000 persons day.
The railroads have either built or rent
ed additional space for this purpose.
The union station has built tempo
rary structure north of the steel arch
bridge approach, which can hold 1900
pieces of baggage. thus giving twice as
much space as before.
The Milwaukee road will receive bag
gage only in the large fruit house OPP
three times the present space. The Min
neapolis & st. Louis and the Great
Western roads have doubled and tripled
their space. These arrangements will
provide for the receipt of 10000 pieces
of baggage. The usual ratio Of passen-
gers to baggage is about seven to one.
So that baggagemen are able to provide
for 10000 passengers.
All the roads, have doubled their
have enough men at the passenger win
dows to dispense with all delay. The
Milwaukee has added fifteen men, the
union station twenty, and the others
in like proportion. No baggage will
be accepted unless accompanied by
claim checks, and speial men will be de.
tailed to look after this feature. This
is done in order to prevent confusion.
The roads have been preparing since
last summer, and specially trained mer
will be in charge all week. On Mon
day they will meet the transfer com
pany people to decide on final arrange
ments for the week. All the large com
panies have doubled their usual forces
and are confident that they can meet
all needs.

FLAG BATHED IN LIGHT
Old Glory on Courthouse Tower Will
Never Be Hid,

Shafts Of light flashing from a score
of powerful searchlights will be put to
effective use every evening Of encamp-
ment week to form an evening display.
It has been found impossible to carry
out some of the larger plans that have
been suggested, but it is believed that
the searchlight idea will be pleasing
substitute and equally effective. ."
One powerful light will be placed on
top of the new Security bank building
and will play on smaller buildings and
on the streets. The special use to
which this light will be put will be the
illumination of the courthouse tower.
A large flag will float night and day
from the tower staff and at night will
be surrounded by halo Of light
from the searchlight: The effect of the
flag flying in a circle Of light against
the sky when the tower itself is in
darkness will be most striking.
The big building will be open night
and day to everybody. At night all

limitations that are planned. The search

PLEADS FOR SQUARE DEAL

r. Gives Wholesome Advice to Sisters.
To the Editor of The Journal.
In an article which appeared in T b
preston n y was s. Conveyed that the depart
ment of Minnesota, l.. Of G. A. r., will
at the coming national convention pre-
sent the name Of a Minnesota woman
as candidate for national president.
At the last department. convention,
movement was attempted to secure the
Endorsement of a Minneapolis woman
for national presi dent, but receiving no
encouragement, the matter was never
brought before the convention for ac-
ton. The department Of Minnesota has
no candidate.
Minnesota has already been honoredl
would it not be selfish, indeed, for us
to ask it, when there are many depart
ments that have never had one? Min
nesota is the entertaining department..
We have invited the Grand Army, with
it's kindred organizations, to our beauti-
full state, to partake of our hospitality.
Is it in keeping with good taste and
genuine hospitality to invite them to
our homes and in return ask them to
confer upon us the highest office with
in their gifts
The members of these organizations
will come hundreds and thousands of
miles in response to this invitation.
Millions of people deem it an honor to
stand with uncovered heads in the
presence Of these guests. Let us give
them, one and all, the most unselfsf
hospitality. Every Minnesota woman
should lay aside her personal ambition
and devote herself to the work Of hos
pitality. .... ...- ....
The organization known as the La
dies Of the Grand Army of the Repub
lie will live long after we shall have
passed away. To preserve it, and make
used as a mere instrument for the graft
fcation of the personal ambition O.
any woman. Let us give our guests tn
best Of everything. Let us give then
a square deal. Marion B. Mullen,

GIVE HOMES TO VISITORS
Two Women Move to Flat to Make
Room for Guests.

BY giving up their comfortable
homes and moving to Il small fiat, two
women, well known in the work Of the
Ladies Of the G.. A: r.. are proving
their patriotism and hospitality. They
cordially invited so many guests that
who had accepted their invitations last
week, they found that the capacity Of
their big ten-room houses would not be
equal to the demands that would be
made upon them. The two women were
astonished, but not discouraged. They
met the situation as they have met
many another, and calmly went forth
and rented a small furnished fat, in
which they will find shelter during en-.
with their competent servants for the
guests.

LADIES OF G.
HAVE NO INSIGNIA
DENVER CONVENTION FAILED TO
PROVIDE OFFICIAL BADGE.
Delegates at Sea as to Proper Emblem
to Wear as redential-Many Candi-
dates for National President Seek
Recognition and Politics Is Expected
to Grow Warm.

The Ladies of the G. A. R. are with
out an official badge. At the conven-
ton a year ago at Denver it was
voted to make change, but thru some
oversight the new badge was not for
mally accepted by the convention, so
has really not had an official badge.
The new badge, which many Of the
members confidently believe was
adopted at Denver, is smaller than tho
old and is entirely of bronze.
Just what effect the lack of an off:
clal badge will have on the convention
Is a question. The badge is a most i'm
portant credential and without it
member cannot vote, according to the
cepted by the convention nobody knows
and some of the members will come
with old badges and some Of them with
new, but under the present condition
neither will be official. For that reason
the question of badge will be one
OF the first brought before the con-
ventlon when it opens in the First
Baptist church, Thursday, Aug. 16.
Change in Ritual.
Another matter that was left over
from the Denver convention to be set
tied In Minneapolis is the revision of
the. ritual. It was expected that the
revision would be completed in Colo
RADIO, but it was pushed aside by more
important questions. Mrs. Ruth Fvote.
national president, and the other off
GERS without exception favor the change
which will make the ritual more COM
plete. The present form was adopted
tWenty-three years ago on Aug. 20, so
that it will be almost on it's annivcr-
sary that it will be changed.
| The council of the Ladies Of the G..
a, II. will be held early next week.
Mrs. Foote will announce the time
when she arrives-and before that all
resolutions and matters to be brought
before the convention will have been
sent to the committee Of administra-
ton which in turn will present them
to the council for approval before they
are read in the convention.
Many Seek Office.
The election promises to furnish con-
siderable excitement, for the list of
candidates for the chief office Of the
order is long one. There is a candi-
date from Minnesota, Mrs. Julia E. F.
Lobdell, whose work as a department
recognition. Minnesota has had one ma.
tional president, Mrs. Flora M. Davey
who served in 1897 so that if Mrs
Lobdell is elected she will be the sec.
ond from her state.
Pennsylvania has two candidates in
the field, Mrs. Henrietta Gerwig OF
Allegheny and Mrs. Ada L. Shannon OF
Philadelphia, and as Mrs. Ella s. Jones
who wants to be reelected nationa
treasurer, is also from Allegheny, the
situation in the Keystone state is rath

Kansans Are Willing.

Kansas wants a national president
for the third time and has presented the
name Of Mrs. Elma Dalton Of Winfield.
Michigan would like to have it's depart
ment president, Mrs. larry Jameson

has also had national president be-
fore. New York has never been repre-
sented in the list of chief executives
and for that reason will endeavor to
have Mrs. Hannah Chamberlain Of AL
banv elected.
The election will take place Friday
morning, Aug. II, but as the list Of
candidates promises to be long one
it will be late in the afternoon before
the results can be announced.
