Watch the Clock,

If the passion for efficiency accom- plishes nothing more it will-indeed, it has already-upset one of the most sa- cred tenets that atruistic employers ever put into the constitution and by laws for the observance of employees. That tenet is. Don't watch the clock. It was hoped, of course, that if em- ployees could be made to forget the clock they might also forget to go home at the expiration of the time for which they were paid
 Efficiency now makes the revoution- ary demand that you should never take your eyes from the clock. To be d topnotcher in efficiency you must go even further. You must get stop watch with split second hands and make sure that each minutest divi- sion of time has assigned to it a pre- else and particular action. being or state. Watch the clock. my boy watch the clock if you want to make success in this world. Ellis o. Jones in Lippincott's.

JAIL AN ALASKA EDITOR

Louis Klopsch of Fairbanks, was sentenced to serve six months in jail and pay a fine of three hundred dollars on a charge of contempt of court. He was accused of publishing articles in his paper, facts that reflected on the court. One of the articles in question con- cerned the Cadzow matter and another one referred to the handling of the Washington Alaska bank by the receiver, F. G. Moves. The latter article was entitled "Si Reid's Ghost" The convicted man is comforting with his attorneys and it is be- lleved that an appeal will be taken. In the meantime he has been surrendered by his bonds men and is languishing in jail. Several prominent attorneys were active in the defense of KlOpsch.

In Bohemian Days In Fleet Street" the following story of Charlie Will Hams, the war correspondent, appears:
 Charlie Williams could have given Baron Munchausen stone and beat ing. He spoke with rasping North of Ireland accent. and his campaign anecdotes gained greatly by the stolid, matter of fact manner in which they were narrated. l recall now one of his campaign "reminiscences.

A State Bureau of immigration is
suggested by the Orlando Reporter
Star with Willis Powell, of the
Clearwater Sun, as its head. We
certainly need to put both system
and force into the work Of bring
ing immigrants to Florida, for we
are overlooking golden opportuni-
tiles along that line now, and it
would hardly be possible to find a
better man to boss the job than
Powell, of the Sun. Florida is prob
ably getting more new arrivals than
any State in the Union, but an eff
fective immigration bureau under
State auspices, with such a human
dynamo and master of the fine art
of publicity as Powell to make the
machine work constantly and sue
cessfully would start a stream of
immigration to our State that would
increase in volume each year and
repeat in South Florida the history
of the Los Angeles section of CAL
ifornia twenty and more years ago.
And barring the scenic sentiment of
the mountains, ours Is better land
to come to in every way. II

\ A Geogia paper thoughtfully re-
marks that it is now about time in
the cotton situation to start the SELL
a-bale movement among the farm
ers and not continue to encourage
them to hold their product for
higher price, thus keeping money out
bf circulation, hurting every form
of trade and enterprise and tempt
ing the farmers to postpone the
payment of their debts to the mer-
chants who carried them through
the year Cotton has been lower on
several occasions since the civil war
than it is now and as we all have
to suffer in some degree from the
hard times caused by the European
conflict, the cotton grower should
not beeXempt from the common
misfortune but should stand his
share with the rest of us. 1t is
time to stimulate the sell-a-bale
movement and put into circulation
the hundreds of millions of dollars
now locked up in cotton. Our cit
