blnatlon of the best featuree of
the banks on the Pacific coast
Mr. Gordon explained.
Mr. Gordon llluatrated hie state
ment by telling of the upatalri
bookkeeping department which he
fonnd In one of the large banka In
the bat city. The bookkeeping
department waa away from the
notae and routine of the rest of
the, bank and It waa found that
more work waa accomplished and
much time aaved.
Another bank waa rlalted and
It waa found that the bookkeep
ing department waa aeparated
from the root of the building by
the use of trotted glass windows.
So a combination of these two fea
tures waa effected for the local
bank.' aa the result of which the
accounting department la located
on the mesianfne floor and encas
ed In by frosted glasa windowa
which open outward to give a lew
of the beautiful lobby of the bank.
The bookkeepers and accountants
are given this opportunity to work
undisturbed.
Gordon also explained that the
idea of the lunch room In the
basement of the bank building
waa derived from one of the large
banka be visited. "It la not the
general thing to provide the bank
employee with a lunchroom, their
own kitchen and electrical fix
tures, but the employes In the
hank I visited were so well -ls-fled
and pleased with It, that we
decided to adopt the Idea. Now
the employes may hare coffee and
sandwiches In their own lunch
room during stormy weather with
out having to go outside the
building," he atated.
"Petrified" Tulip

CORVALLIS, Nov. 14. (AP)
Reports of finding "petrlfi(d tu
lips" at LaGrande that may
have been greeted with skepti
cism by newspaper readers, are
probably entirely correct, even
though the bulbs do not actn
lly tnrn to atone, said Dr. F.
P. McWhorter, federal bulb spe
cialist at the Oregon State Col
lege experimental station.
"Tulips In Oregon are some
times atta-ked by a strange fan
cua dfsPAM vhteh nnrlar
condltions. Is able to transform
the thick, starchy bulb scales
Into veritable vegetable Ivory."
said Dr. McWhorter. "The bulb
do not turn to stone, but they
oecome norny, translucent and
extremely bard."

FRIENDLY CVEMTES
DELAWARE, O. Sheriff Veley
K. Main, democrat, and Chester
McKinnle, republican, are rivals
for th sheriffs office this year.
out tneyre rnendly enemies.
Their birthdays fall on the same
day each year and the both cele
brate It together. In their cam
palfn speeches, neither will say
anything unfriendly about his
rival.
Mncb valuable time will be sav
ed In transacting b-sl-ess and
also when the clerks do their rou
tine work in the new First Na
tional bank since many time-saving
devices, the last word in bank
ing equipment, hare been In
stalled.
One of the new ma-hlnes In
stalled Is a coin separator, which
works on the principle of cream ,
separators, one nas merely to
tnrn a crank and out comes pen
nies, nirkles. dimes, quarters, htlf
dollars and dollars into their re
spective slots.
When the machine was demon
strated at the bank one of the
clerks dumped one of the money
sacks, filled with a variety of
small coins. Into the separator.
and with a few tarns of the crank
a job which wonld have taken the
clerk much longer to do, was completed.
Another Item which will save
much time In accomplishing the
work Is the sorting table, which
contains pigeon holes for each
kind of check. Before this time
It was necessary for the clerks to
lay the checks ont on a flit ta'le
or surface to separate them The
new system segregates the check
systematically.
An lntercommunlcable tele
phone system Is another time-saving
feature which has been In
stalled In the bank for the conven
ience of the officials and em
ployes. The phone system ex
tends throughout the build ng.
In order to send ledgers or
statements from the bookkeeping
department on the mezzanine
floor to those on the first floor of
the building, and to eliminate the
necessity of carrvlng them around,
an automatic lift has been In
stalled. :

curing all materials possible

experience in structural steel
work and is acquainted with every
phase ot that character of con

THE CORNERSTONE OF CONFIDENCE
We join with the community of Klamath county in
congratulating the First National Bank on the com
pletion of their new home.
Impregnable and abiding faith in the future of the
Klamath Basin is shown by the stockholders of this
bank in building such a home.
Notable and commendable was their insistence that
wherever possible local men and materials should
be used.
We furnished lumber bought in Klamath county from
approximately eight of our modern sawmills and re
manufactured in our plant. We even hired Paul Bun
yan with his lumber stretcher to provide some clear
fir boards. 1 inch thick by 24 inches wide, kiln dried,
for the final shelving.
We also furnished the best built-up roof that money
can buy, Johns-Manville, guaranteed for 20 years.
