Panama.

The Panama situation looks to us a
little peculiar. Our people, who
have no merchant marine, aside from
the coastwise and lake fleets, whose
flag is rarely, il ever, seen in for
eign port, have spent $4oo, 900, 900
on building the big ditch, and max
ing short cut for the nations who
have merchant fleets, Great Britain,
Canada, Germany, France, Holland,
Italy, ETC., and now these nations
who will have the sole benefit of the
canal. except our coastwise trade, de-
Cides that U. S. must build costly
fortihcations on the Isthmus and keep
a standing army of at least $4,000
men in garrison, also will have to
keep in readiness two big fleets, one
in either ocean, to defend what has
cost so much, to keep it from being
wrecked by the very people who will
benefit most by its use. Why, the
cost of such defense will be greater
than the entire revenue. Tell US
about this, if you know.

Efficiency.

In every line of work men are
struggling for greater efficiency. 1t
matters not whether one be day la
borer or bank president, the thing
that he wants most is efficiency.
Efficiency merely means doing
away with lost motion. There is al
ways an opportunity to study ones
work, to find where small savings
may be made. There are many tasks
that as now performed require sever
al motions where one would answer
just as we'll. Its eliminating all this
wasted energy that makes one more
efficient.
1t is possible that you will think
this does not apply in your case, but
if you stop to consider the situation a
little you will realize differently.
When you pick up fork do you al
ways do all the work that it is neCes-
sary to do with it in one part of the
barn before you put it down. or dc
you drop it and 60 to something else
then come back and possibly hum
for the fork to finish the job? II yor
will watch another work you will SEE
that there are many lost motions tina
take both time and energy.
Another thing that cuts in on tn,
efficiency of barn work very seriously
is Carelessness in taking care of TIT
tools with which one must work. 4
fork or a shovel or hammer is Otter
dropped where last used or put in
new place and when wanted again i
takes as long to hunt for the tool a
to do the task.
There are many ways that can be
devised to save steps and to increas,
the working capacity in every bari
and on every farm. Study these
little and you will be surprised to SCI
how much more can be accomplished
each day. Greater efficiency will in
crease your output and your profits
Whether you are working for yoursel
or are in the employ of another it vii
pay you to study how best to us
your time. A machine that elimi
mates all waste is an efficient machin
and the same thing is true of man. -
