DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.


Always bear in mind that days work is made up
Of lot Of little motions. Do not waste any Of them
When you go to work in the mornlng-We mean
YOU-lt matters not whether you are shoveng, farm
ing, working in Office on the railroad, in Factory,
or conducting department store, wholesale mousse
or manufacturing institutions make up your nina 70
do the same amount Of work you did yesterday With
less waste OF energy When you find that you are
making three motions to do something that two move
ments will complete, then use only two Watch your
self all day. and you'll find after week or SO that you
will have time to do more work and accomplish more
results with only the usual effort Rockefelers fortune
is made up Of many quarts of oil New Yorks elevated
railway millions represent five cent transactions, put
every Of them adds to the aggregate Does every
motion you make accomplish something? Does 1t really
help to accomplish what you are doing?
Some man will take up a pen to sign his name, ana
before he touches the pen to the paper ne will make
enough motions to- if properly applied write two lines
dining table, That is just as true OF lois
of Workmen as it is of business men They make TOO
many false motions. That is energy and time wasted
The best way to increase efficiency in an INSTITUTION IS
to eliminate waste The place to begin is with eacn
Individual in the establishment. The way to get it
accomplished is for each individual to begin it himself
not wait till his employer tells him to do it. Likewise
the EMPLOYER must not let some other fellow force
him TO it.
Get at it! Watch yourself! It needn't make any
difference to you what the other fellow is doing-he will
attend to his part of t-you attend to yours Every
time you look over to what he is doing, you are
making an unnecessary motion, not only physically,
but your mind is also momentariy taken off your own
work, 50 you are not only making an unnecessary
physical move but also unnecessary mental effort.
By an intelligent application of effort in all daily
work. the employer can do work in given time
with the same energy, and can the employe Inc
employer can accomplish more in his management OF
the business and the employee make his work worth
more to his employer, and eventually worth more to
himself
Begin your work in the morning with that object in
view
You do not have to work any harder to accomplish
more.
Don't be putterer.

WILL Be SNOW
IN HONOLU LU

The weather forecaster has made
startling prediction for the eigh-
teenth of next month. On that date
Honolulu will have a snowstorm!
Sounds improbable, doesn't it? AL
most impossible, even, for when did
Honolulu ever before get a taste Of
the beautiful, beautiful snow?"
But this is to be a real, genuine
snowstorm of the kind they have N
the far north, so the weather man
says. So you'd better get out the
fiannels and furs and thick coats you
used to wear when you lived back in
the states, where snowstorms are com
mon.
Fortunately for Honolulu, the bliz-
card will be local-extremely local.
In fact, 1t will happen in only one
spot in town-that will be in the Nor
wegian booth at the Mid Pacic Kir-
mess. 1t is Mrs. j. A. Rath, chair
man of the committee having that
booth in charge, who received ad-
vance information as to the intentions
of Old Boreas. 1t is fortunate that
she did, too, for the committee is
figuring on putting on the Norwegian
spring dance, and arrangements will
have to be made TO shelter the dan,
GERS from the falling snowfakes.
AS to the further intentions of the
committee, Mrs Rath states that the
foreground will be draped with Nor
wegian flags and the coat of arms.
Most of the ladies-nearly all of
whom, by the way, are of Norwegian
birth, will wear the costume of Nor
way. Norwegian dolls will be for
sale and the refreshments will con-
sist Of real Norwegian sandwiches,
cake and coffee, all of the best that
can be made or obtained.

morning he called on witness at his

Defendant was grinding his teeth. He
upbraided witness for not having done
his duty. Witness replied that he had

toney about the conversations. The
conversations must have been about
two months before the shooting took
place. His actions seemed to show
that he was angry and unaware Of
what he was doing. Witness paid
close attention to what McQuaid was
saying when he called at the Hawai-
ian Hotel, but he could not understand
half of it. McQuaid was squirming on
the chair and grinding his teeth.
Detective Lake said that he had
known McQuaid for about eleven
years. On February 81, McQuaid
called for advice. Witness referred
him to McDuffie. McQuaid seemed to

did not seem as the same old Mac to

the negative. He also had woebe-

he was not coherent Witness had
McQuaid put under surveillance be-

Lake said that McQuaid seemed to
be suffering from a general break

state, and was laboring under some
mental strain. McQuaid wanted him
to place his wife under surveillance,
but witness replied that he would not
interfere in a mans marital relations,

consult reputable LAWYER. Witness
