GRAND RAPIDS PEOPLE
IN THE TWIN CITIES

Mrs. M. d. DAILY returned Tuesday
night from an extended visit in Mil
waukee and Minneapolis. From June
] to August 5, she visited her sister,
Mrs. Harriet Yout, and other friends
in Milwaukee. On August 5, she
went to Minneapolis where she was
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
Kroner. While in that city she en-
joyed short visits with all her Grand
Rapids friends and reports them
well and prosperous. She visited all
the points of interest in Minneapolis
and st. Paul and was delighted with
what she saw. Mrs. DAILY says she
never made a trip and enjoyed visit
more than this one. Ellis Kroner
has lucrative position in the twin
cities and is doing well. his salary
has been raised several times as a
mark of appreciation Of his labor5 by
his employers.

SIMPLE BOOKKEEPING.
Lead Pencil May Be Used Just a.
Well as Pen and Ink, Says
One Who knows.

The supervision of every store should
extetnd to the books, says Victor Rob-
ertson, in Credit Mems Bulletin.
The simplest is always the best meth
cd of expression. Why use pen, PEN
holder, ink and erasers, when pencil
with rubber on the end will supply all
demands better, cheaper, and with less
labor?
Is there any good reason why retail
merchant should not keep his books in
lead pencil? One of Chicago's largest
wholesale houses does.
If pencil is used, then the books used
can be of cheaper paper and correspond
a retail merchants books should be KEEP:
with a hard lead or indelible pencil.
1t is easier, cleaner, takes less tins
and makes the correction of errors
quicker and easier. Ink is no safeguard
against errors or dishonesty. A man
can falsify and steal as easily through
ink as through pencil.
Bookkeeping is only memorandum
work, anyhow. Make it as simple and
easy as possible. Don't waste profit in
ink. 1t is the little leaks that eat up the
profits. Unnecessary labor is a leak.
Expensive paper in books is wasteful.

UNLOADING WATERMELONS.
WORK That Calls for Activity and Not
Little Skill in Tossing and
Catching

"Play BALL" said a stalwart looking
young man standing on big truckload
OF watermelons backed up to the curb
in front of the store at which the melons
were to be delivered, and moment later
he had tossed the first big and solid green
globe to man standing in the middle OF
the sidewalk, who tossed it to a man
standing at the front of the store, where
the watermelons were to be piled, says
the New York Sun.
And then these three men kept the
watermelons going through the air til.
the whole load had been transferred
from the truck and stacked up in pile
at the store door. This is the common
way in which watermelons are unload
ed, and in which they can be shifted a
good deal quicker than they could be
by picking them up and carrying
them in.
It Is strenuous work, and work that
calls for skill, too, tossing and catching
watermelons; but the men that handle
watermelons handle many loads thus
and get we'll accustomed to the work in
the course of the season, and they trans
fer load after load without mishap
But even an expert watermelon catch
er may muff ball occasionally, and
when he does they never stop to gather
up the fragments. It Is quite beyond
repair.

A Sweet Compliment.

Four-year-old Garland is devoted to
his young and beautiful! Aunt Louise.
One morning as she was talking to
him from the second-story window
while he gave her ecstatic answers
from the brick sidewalk, he suddenly
held up his chubby arms and called
up to her:
Throw yourself down in my arms,
auntiei I'll catch you'll"
well. Garland, If I were to do
that" his auntie said, laughing, 81
might make a buckwheat cake of
you"
"Well, then, auntie," said the gal
liant little lover, ''Pd be the buck
wheat cake and you'd be the honey!"

Letter to j. Loveless.
NEKOOSA, WIS.

Dear Sir: If you buy paint by the
gallon look out for short-measure. One
of the paints for sale in your section
has about 2l0 cubic inches gallon.
Takes 23l to make real gallon.
There are great businesses founded on
ten per cent short
1t is qu(e that man o. &C ncern will
expose his or its nakedness SO: but he
does, and it does.
Look out.
But that isn't all to look out for
Some give full measure: and cheat in
the quality.
What do you paint for, the looks? or
to keep your house from roting? Both,
of course.
A big hotel man painted Devoe eight
years ago; was going to paint it again:
eight years is a good long time for
hotel, you know-struck a bargain;
saved five cents gallon missed Devoe.
Poor fellow! There isn't an o. of
lead in his paint-we don't know how
good or bad it is; but there isn't any
lead in it.
Yours truly,
f. w DevOe & Co.
P.S. Devoe Paint is sold by A. Fl.
Kleberg.

Much-Directed Roads.

The Irish railways are said to have
more directors in proportion to their
size. Importance and earning capacity
than any similar corporations in the
world. They average one director to
every 20 miles of road. In 1872, when
an effort was made to have the roads
brought under the supervision of the
state, they averaged one director to
every six miles of road. At that time
there were 56 roads, averaging 4S miles
In length. They had 430 directors, Sc
solicitors, Sc secretaries and 70 engin-
GERS.
