The prime need IN commercial
building is economy OF floor space
This requirement can be fulfilled
by scientific planning, A structure
may follow we'll established tradi-
tionS in its architectural treatment
and its construction be carried out
in conformity with principles evolv-
ed through long practice, but once
inside the building there often will
be found distinct break with the
past. This is because the plan
ming and equipment OF modern
office in a present day commercial
edifice are developments OF our own
times; there are no precedents to
follow.
The increasing value of floor
space in the business sections OF
our cities produces a demand for
the better utilization Of the actual
space available. This demand Is
greater in a business which, for
certain specific reasons must be
transacted on a single floor, for ii
is under such conditions that con-
gestion becomes most acute.
The economic utilization of space
is peculiarly the work of the expert
in scientific planning. In bank
where some of the most complex
problems of planning arise, the de-
mand for the conservation oi
space is keen necessity, which be-
comes increasingly clamorous as
business expands. Here the affairs
of the organization are transacted
for the most part on the ground
floor, so that a growing business
usually means a new building, or
at least, a remodeled equipment.
There is much scattered effort in
the field of scientific planning. A
dozen banks may be built in ono
city, each of them designed by
different individual. AS instrument
of service they would all be better
buildings if their equipment had
been treated in the same manner as
their steel framing, their heating, OF
lighting; that is, placed in the hands
of experts. In working out the ac-
tual details of the building, the
structural engineer figures the most
economic size of beams and girders
consistent with safety, and the heat
ing and electrical engineers apply
the best practice to the radiation
and lighting in conformity with es-
tablished standards of comfort and
economy. But how often is the
same study given the actual use OF
the building, the real reason for it,
erection?
When there is ample space on the
lot, the resulting plan may seem to
be happily executed, but it is when
the business begins to expand that
the actual test comes. And that
test usually comes quickly, for
new bank building is always a po-
tent factor in securing new accounts
The business grows and more tloo!
space is wanted. There may be
room to spare, but it is often tied
up in the cages that have not been
planned to serve the practical pur-
poses for which they were intend
ed. And the cages are so dove-taiI-
ed into the design of the counter
screen, that if the partitions are re-
located, the usefulness of the wick
cts will be impaired, and the sym
1netry OF the counterscreen de-
stroyed.
If the minimum space in a bank
ing room for each employe, or tor
several, were enclosed by solid par
titions, the resulting divisions would
be little more than cells. To AVOID
this crowded conditions, when de-
partments are ordinarily sub-divid-
ed by partitions, a great deal oi

FROM ROWLAND

The regular July meeting of the
Hovland War Club was held at Cl,ica-
go Bay Saturday evening, and was
extremely fortunate in having three
speakers present. Supt. Clinch, the
first speaker, leaving the discussion
of the war to those who followed,
gave brief outline of the obstacles
our people had to content with and
overcome as compared with those
who settled on prairie lands, bringing
out the thought that great credit
was due those who remained stead
fast and won out in the struggle,
and predicted that within fifty years
greater changes would take place in
the development of the North Shore
than many at present considered
possible. His talk was an encourage
ment to all to "hang on and con-
tinue to "carry on despite tempo
rary discouragements.

"> PATRl0T0c PASTOR
Men, Women and Children Gather at
Congregational Church to Wish
Popular Clergyman 0odspeed.

Men, women and children, a hun
dred Of them, gathered in the Con-
gregational church on Monday even
ing and rendered a loving farewell to
Rev. William Ripon, who leaves for
his new charge at Cass Lake on next
Saturday morning.
Manly men telling the story Of the
militant pastors manly deeds; kindly
matrons making meals, and merry
maids serving them. These, and the
presentation Of a purse of money of
goodly size made a happy time for
everyone, except the little tots who
were walked from happy sleep at
1890 in the morning.
The arrangements were in charge
of Chas. J. Johnson, DIR. Hicks and
James J. Scott, who had been sell
ected sub-rosa, by the congregation
after the Sunday morning service.
At $50 O'Clock the committee pro-
ceeded to the home of the pastor
and brought Mr.. and Mrs. Ripon and
their children to the church.
After the, serving of a luscious
luncheon by the ladies an impromptu
speaking program was rendered un-
der the direction of the chairman,
DR.. F. B. Hicks. :.

sed the pastors duty with relation
to the patriotic movement. C. C.
Monker spoke of the pastors relation
to the community at large, and U.
S. Inspectro Mahon told of Mr..
Ripon's notable activities as a public
spirited citizen.
The chairman, on behalf of the
people of Grand Marais, presented
MIR. Rpon with a substantial purse
which had been contributed by the
entire community.
Mr.. Ripon responded in his usual

of many happy incidents which oc-
Cured during his pastorate here.
1t is the wish Of the people of
Grand Marais and Cook County that

HELP FOR
FARMERS IN HARVEST

Throughout the United States the
business men and other residents of
villages and cities have volunteered
to go out and aid the farmers with
theis harvest work.
Although it is probable that the
farm help available in Cook county
will be sufficient to meet all require
ments, should there be urgent need
of assistance a number of the busi-
ness men of Grand Marais have ex-
pressed their willingness to help
farmers in the vicinity of the village.
It is understood that those who are
willing to help will not be able to
afford help for several days contin-
uous service but {: days work at
intervals of several days. In cases
where the farmer requires help for
a number of days the volunteers will
each help for one day and their
places will be taken by others. 1t
is also to be understood that the
amount of help is necessarily limited
and any request for such help must
be made in time to allow for the
necessary arrangements to be made.

SIZE OF ARMY CAMPS AND
CANTONMENTs INCREASED

More than $22,ooo,ooo have Been
expended during the past six months
under the direction of the Construc-
tion Division of the Army in making
additions and improvements to-
camps and environments. This sum
does not include the cost of additions
to the hospital equipments or the
improvements made at other army
stations.
The improvement work consisted
of additional buildings for housing
the men and providing for their COM
forts and needs. Among buildings
erected were quarters for officers and
nurses, repair shops, additional bar
racks, embarrassing plants, kitchens
and bakeries and theaters. New
roads were laid and sanitation work
improved and extended.
Many additional buildings are con-
templated, and general construction
work. will be rushed to completion
during the summer and fall. In some
instances the camp work has been
extended to drainage of an entire
district surrounding the camp to re-
move danger of desease arising from
the proximity of swamps.
Liberty theaters have been erected
at all national army cantonments.
Each Of these theaters has an
average inclosed seating capacity of
1000. Theaters and amusement halls
have been erected also in the Nation
al Guard camps and at other points
where troops are in training.

Mr. Brown, of the State University

nected with the federal land loans in

ahd gave reasons why prospective ap-
picants for loans should keep their
loans within reasonable bounds. Mr..
Brown closed with some Simon Pure
patriotic doctrins, and promised to

Rev. MIR. Ripon was the last and
principle speaker of the evening, this
being his farewell address to our
people, as he is going to leave for
his new charge. Mr.. Ripon gave one
of his usual vigorous messages brim
full of energy and replete with strik-
ing illustrations. The speaker paid
a glowing tribute to our beloved
president, referring to the fact that
great crises always brought forth
great and noble men. He said that
Woodrow Wilson was the Good Sam
aritan Of the twentieth century, and
ikened present-day pacifsts to the
erstwhile priest and Levite who
"passed by on the other side". Con-
tinuing, he said that the real issue of
the present conflict can be stated in
the words of the immortal Lincoln:
1T is the eternal struggle between
the common right of humanity and
the divine (?) right of kings. We
are now witnessing a new order, the
struggle that is now going on is the
struggle of a dying autocracy. The
present magnificent ACHIEVEMENTS as
result of our national efforts since we
entered the war is a complete answer
to the pro-German who painly pro-
phsied that ut could't be done'', and
is but an index of the greatest
achievements in store for the future.
This is OUR war: We are no more
helping our allies than they are help
ing us. We must fight now to finish
with our allies or later by ourselves.
We must fight on unfalteringly till
right wins the day. To falter would
be disloyalty and sim

y The word "Autochir'' has been in
vented by Americans in France to
describe an American motor truck
train carrying special type of load
toward the front. The first syllable
is plain enough; the second is from
the word ''chirurgical,' the old way
of spelling surgical. Combined they
describe the American Red Cross
truck train of 18 camions carrying
in knock-down form a tent hospital
of 200 beds. One truck transports
complete operating room ready to
be bolted together and put into oper-
alton in a few minutes. It's trailer
is sterilizing room which is backed
up against the operating room struc-
ture. From this trailer the nurse
passes the storilized instruments and
supplies to the surgeons around the
operating table. The other trucks
carry double tenting, sturdy frame
work, floors in sections, window
frames, heating stoves and full equip
ment for diet kitchens. Red Cross
construction crews specially selected
and trained for this work 20 with
the trucks, and in a very short time
after the first truck reaches the
selected point the wards are ready
to receive patients.

FARMERS WITH LABOR.
War Labor Board Outline. PI.nds
For Recruiting Farm
Labor.

The newly organized War Labor
Policies Board, on which the Depart
ment of Agriculture is represented,
has outlined plans for recruiting of
industrial and agricultural labor.
These plans have the approval and
support Of the President.
The following is from the report
from the War Labor Policies Board
and outlines the medium through,
which the recruiting work shall be
carried on.
"All recruiting of industrial labor
for public or private work connected
with the war should be conducted
through or in accordance with meth
ods authorized by one agency. This
should be the United States Employ
ment service. The present working
agreement between the departments
of Labor and Agriculture relating to
recruiting of farm labor should re-
main in effect"
The agreement between the De-
partment of Agriculture and the De-
partment Of Labor to which the reso-
luton refers provides:
l. That the Department of Agri-
culture, through it's cooperative or
ganization with the respective State
agricultural institutions, and in CO.
operation with such other State
agencies as may be created for the
purpose, will Q) undertake to ascer-
tain from individual farmers the
kinds and amounts of labor needed
in addition to that now available,
the date and duration Of employment
offered to such additional labor, and
the wages to be paid; (2) list avail
able labor in rural and village COM
munhties and in schools; (3) notify
the Department of Labor of the
needs in each local ogR fotk ifn-f
needs for labor that can not be SUP
piled from the above mentioned
sources, giving due notice as far in
advance as possible of the exact nu-
mber of laborers needed in each To-
! eality, the kind of labor to be per-
formed, the wages to be paid, the
date and duration of. employment,
and the points at which and the per-
sons to whom labor supplied by the
Department of Labor should report;
and (4) render all possible assistance
in the distribution, employment and
care of the labor supplied by the
Department of Labor.
2. That the Department of Labor
will use it's best endeavors to supply
such numbers of farm laborers upon
the request of the Department of
agriculture as such departments in
vestigations may reveal to be needed
in the various localities in the
United States and which is not OBJ
tainable from the sources mentioned
in the preceding paragraph, as near
ly as possible at such times and
places as the Investigations of the
Department of Agriculture may show
to be necessary.
