A desk in which the various parts do not match is of low grade material and will be of inferior construction.
 The final consideration is the size of the various pieces of furniture. These should be ~Sn proportion to the size of appearance. The size should also be based on the number of pieces needed out of regard for the convenience of employees.
 A good method is to draw a plan of the office, showing doors and windows, and a chart showing the progress of papers through the office. A straight line is the shortest route for office transactions to follow and a chart often discIoses the fact that orders, for instance, double on their tracks in going from mail desk to shipping room.
 Value of Careful Planning
 The plan enables the experienced furniture man to recommend the proper size and position of each piece of furniture The furniture can then be drawn in to scale, giving an ac- curate idea of the appearance and con- venience offered by the complete in stallation.
 To realize the value of careful plan ming in furnishing the office consider it from the standpoint of office rental Take the figure for annual rental plus the investment in furniture and equip ment and, for the last two items. add interest, depreciation and maintenance charges.
 Reduce the total to terms of annual expense per square foot of floor space. The figures will offer telling proof of the value of saving floor space, and will demonstrate the fact that too much emphasis be placed on the proper selection and arrangement Of office furniture.

BETTER BVSINESS , METHODS

In selecting office furniture there are two points which the business man bears in mind. These arc effective appearance and convenience. They are achieved by proper arrangement of furniture of a standardized line and of a grade in keeping with the standards of the business.
 The first thought in selecting the furniture of course is the finish. It must harmonize with the office fix lures and trim. The next point for con sideration is the grade.
 All the leading manufacturers make several grades of furniture, varying in prices, based on the construction and quality of material used. These grades are so numbered that an experienced furniture man can tell what number in any line corresponds with the same grade in other lines.
 It is well to know this, especially in considering proposals on several diff ferent lines For competitive bids it ture ito correspond with a certain grade of some standard manufacture. Otherwise the comparison of prices will be misleading, as some houses will quote on grades inferior to those of fered by others
 How to Judge Business Furniture
 The selection of material and the construction can be judged by seeing how well the different parts match in grain and color. In a desk, for ex- ample, look at the framework and legs. Are they lighter or darker than the panels or drawer fronts. Do the pam els of the desk match the writing bed? Note whether some of the drawer fronts are darker than others.
 In a good desk the writing bed. drawer fronts, panels, frame and all parts exposed are a perfect match in grain, and rubbed to a uniform finish.

Lakes waterways to ocean navigation
will find Milwaukee prepared to be-
come an ocean part, according to Phil

Milwaukee Association of Commerce.
"No change in the Improvement
program for the Milwaukee Harbor

years, or since the organization of the
Milwaukee Harbor commission, the
harbor improvement schedule has been
such as meets all requirements for
every variety of ocean tonnage. Mil
waukee commerce and industry long
has seen that the opening of the
Great Lakes waterways to ocean navi-
cation is one of the inevitable matters
of the future, however distant.
"Milwaukee already is favored with
one of the best harbors in existence,
designed on lines that meet all require
ments for ocean tonnage. Shippers
save much time through the terminal
service. and much transfer expense.
The differential on coal alone in the
Milwaukee harbor is about five cents

today of a letter from the Pine county

stating as follows:
eve have instructed our engineer
to call for bids on additional work,

from Imperial county as to what you
Sre going to do from Holtville to
Yuma in putting that road in first
class condition in the near future
through the purchase of bonds.
Very truly yours,
ED FLETCHER.
The question which now comes be-
fore the valley is whether to buy the
bonds or not. San Diego county has
just purchased 100000 worth of
bonds, the supervisors taking $150.000
and the banks the other $150,000 to
keep the state highway work going in
San Diego county. This work will
go ahead in any event.
Secretary Leffingwell of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce wrote
a letter to each member of associated

concerning the building of the high
way between Los Angeles and Yuma
and the raising of sufficient funds to
complete the work. The idea was to
see how many of the valley chambers
would join in the appeal and to get
the good points they would make.
Westmorland is the first to respond
with very urgent letter requesting
the work be done as soon as possible
and assuring him that Westmorland
would do more than her share in
raising the necessary amount of
money.
