- Efficiency is the keynote in the 7 proposed new post office building, tentative plans for the first floor of which have been completed
 The plans, which are subject to minor changes. show a maximum of working space with a minimum of waste area. As the public enters from the front it will be noticed that the lobby has been materially in- creased.
 Directly facing the West Main street entrance well or short cor ridor in a U shape will extend for a short distance into the work room. This section will contain a section for private boxes, general delivery windows and letter drops.
 To the right as one enters the West Main street doorway will be stamp windows, while to the left the lobby will extend to the present registry department, then take turn 10 the south extending for short distance in d L shaped wing toward Court street. In this section will be the registry and money order departments. as well as another sec ton of private boxes.
 On the South High street side the present money order department will be removed and in the north west corner of the building will be erected a stairway to the offices on the second floor. This will dsplace the spiral stairway now ] k f,< postmaSter's office.
 The lobby will extend along the South High street side, making a z shaped turn around the present postmaster's office. This office, with minor alterations will remain as it now is.
 The corridor will end at the rear Of the postmastcr's office, where it will connect with the offices of the assistant postmaster and the super intendent of mails.
 At tho turn between the West Main street lobby and the South High street lobby where it will be of easy access to both entrances, will be the parcel post window.
 The extension of the work floor south of the present work floor will add an area 64 feet deep and 96 feet wide. This will give ample space for the handling of first, second and third class mail matter.
 The addition Of the extra work floor will mako it possible 10 bring the carriers from the mezzanlne gal lcry. where they now sort the mail. to the main floor, thus eXpediting their work and saving considerable lost time and labor by carrying mail from ono floor to the next.
 The lower or placement floor will be devoted to the handling Of fourth class or parcel post matter
 Ample paved areas will be pro- vided SO that all mail incoming as . well as outgoing, can be handled from West Main street, Court street and South High street

CHALLEENS VISIT
MANY COUNTRIES

A. M. Challeen, Pine City merchant,
who has enjoyed a second trip to
Europe within two years, returned
home recently, this time being ac-
companied by his son, William. The
Pine Poker in it's issue of Sept. 18th,
tells Interestingly about the European
trip, which in part reads as follows:
"A. M. Challeen and son, William,
arrived home from their European
trip last Thursday evening. They
sailed on the Frederick VIII from
Oslo, Norway, on August 30th and
landed in New York September 7th.
MIR. Challeen and son left Pine
City June 18th and drove to New
York where they crossed on the lie
de France, landing at LIE Harve,
France. Mr. Challeen took his La
Sale sedan across which they used
to tour in Europe visiting points of
interest in France, Switzerland, Aus
tria, Bohemia, Germany, Belgium.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. They
travelled approximately $4,000 miles by
auto from the time they left Pine
City until they returned. They found
practically all the roads in Europe
in good condition, many paved or
macadamized. 1t was little confus-
ing in Bohemia and Sweden as vehi-
cles travel on the left side of the road
in those two countries.
"They visited many former resi-
dents of this community, who had re-
turned to Europe and also visited rel
atives of folks that live here.
"Mr. Challeen brought back many
souvenirs of the trip, as well as many
presents that folks in Europe had sent
to their relatives in this community.
He also brought back some antiques
of various kinds that have been in
the Challeen family for generations.
Mr.. Challeen returned home in the
best of health and is completely re-
covered from the effects of the illness
and operation he underwent last win
ter and now has his old time vigor."

more interest. He also brought out
the fact that one cannot be told how to
play baseball successfully, but that
it takes practice and much of it.
William Barnick extended the
Moose Lake boys congratulations and
gave few "reminiscences of the past.
Mr.. Brandes told of this being the
age of stadiums as football is be-
coming popular sport throughout
the country, and the question is, is it
taking something away from baseball.
He called attention to the time of
his attendance at the Pine City high
school few years ago, and reminded
those present that almost every high
school in this section had baseball
teams in contrast to the conditions
existing today when many have no
teams. This situation, Mr.. Brandes
says, is going to injure the future of
baseball in that no talent is being
developed, and urged that each COM
munity champion Junior baseball.
H. w. Harte in few well chosen
words called attention to the sport
and quoted verses to show that the
baseball club is what each individual
makes it. V. F.. Pembleton of Moose
Lake, thanked the League for the pen
nant and congratulated the other
clubs of the county for their sports
manship during the season.
In closing the dinner hour, DIR.
Werntz told in few words his graft
tude in being present and in being
able to help out in his capacity as

The melody must be written almost
Immediately, but the arranging for
orchestra or band instruments may be
done at any time later. 1t is the mel
ody that must be captured as it rings
through the system. Mr.. Nielsen usu-
ally carries some music paper in his
pocket and jots the melody down i'm
mediately as it comes to him. 1t has
happened that he has had no paper and
then he has written it on his cuff,
and here is where he "got in bad"
with his better half. Mr.. Nielsen
gives much credit to the late Fred
Weldon of Chicago, one of the best
known march writer's, for what he
has learned about composing. Mr..
Nielsen has written "a compositions,
copyrighted by himself and distributed
by E. T. Root & Sons, Chicago music
publishers. He has also written about
% compositions that were sold to Carl
Fischer, New York music publisher
His compositions include marches,
waltzes, romances, fntermezzos, and
the like. Among them are Childhood
Days." beautiful waltz for orchestra,
Marine Trumpeter" march, Dream
of Home" and "Minnetonka," an In
dian intermezzo. The latter compost
ton is written for orchestra and Mr..
Nielsen got his inspiration for that
melody back in 1906 when he played
an engagement in Minneapolis and
visited Fort Smelling. The orchestra
arrangement was written four or five
years later.
Celebrated Birthday in Askov.
Mr.. Nielsen's many Askov friends
are awaiting with interest the antici-
pated announcement that he will be
one of the band directors at the 1888
worlds fair, which will be record
that but very few attain-that of di-
recting worlds fair bands in the
same city with an interval of 40
years. Mrs. Nielsen is a sister of
Mrs. S. Chr. Dixen, just north of
Askov village, where they visited
while in Askov, as well as with many
other relatives and friends in the
community. While in Askov Mr.. Mel
sen celebrated his 65th birthday.

known as the Northern Concert Band

rectors.
Came to America When IA.
Mr.. Nielsen was born in Sonderjyl-
land, Denmark, on Sept. IA, 1865, and
was reared in music as his father was
a bandmaster in the Danish army.
AS a young lad of only IA, Nielsen
immigrated to America with some rel
atives, going first to Dwight, ILL.,,
where he stayed three or four years
and received some good experience
with the local band
One Fourth of July when the
Dwight band had the engagement to
furnish music for the local celebra-
ton, the boys were all dressed up in
brand new uniforms, and Mr.. Nielsen
states that most of them were up at
six o'clock in the morning parading
the streets, proud as peacocks. They
played so hard in the forenoon that
their lips were all swollen, and
by about noon when the crowd
really commenced coming, they
were about "all in. Mr.. Mel
sen further relates that there was
not rat left in town that night A
circus came to town one day, and he
applied for position, was accepted
and did some transforming with
them. He also played in the band
and orchestra with an Uncle Toms
Cabin" troupe that covered the north
west and central states.
At Worlds Fair in 1898.
Violin and cornet are the principal
instruments that Mr.. Nielsen plays.
However, directing, composing, and
arranging of music is what takes up
most of his time now. Nielsen came
to Chicago in 1884 and started as a
director of city bands there in 1898,
getting in on the worlds fair of that
year. He was assistant director with
the famous T. p. Brooks Chicago Ma
rine band in 1897 and in the years
between 1907 and 1916 sailed the
Great Lakes with orchestra and bands.

FORTY.FIVE.YEAR
BAN
Will Be Fought BY Textile
Workers

New York.-Opposition to insur-
ance companies that favor the As
year ban on workers was registered
by the United Textile Workers con-
vention. The resolution called on la
Dor to combat efforts Of these con-
Germs to prevent employment of mid
dle-aged workers because Of their
poor risk in group insurance poll
cies.
The convention instructed officials
to start campaign in Eastern States
against the 56-hour week.
Danville, Va, was reported as
seething with unrest because of mill
management opposition to organized
labor. An elaborate company union"
was set up in these mills after the
World War, but the scheme failed.
Wages as low as % cents an hour
in Allentown, Pa, silk mills, it was
stated, are menace to that industry
The convention called for shorter
hours to cope with general idleness.
Delegates were agreed that automat-
ic machinery is rapidly displacing
weavers and other craftsmen and that
the remedy for resultant unemploy-
ment is shorter hours.
President Thomas F. Mcmahon,
Secretary Treasurer JONES Starr and
other officials were reelected without
opposition.
