EVERYDAY HONESTY

AS the world goes, virtue must be
exceptional to attract recognition,
but some everyday, routine, faithful
performance deserves attention, even
if it could not qualify under the
Carnegie hero rules because it is
only in line with duty.
The record Of the Postoffice De-
partment for the past year shows
that there were 1Os,OO0,0OO money
orders handled last year, in $4,000
postoffices, involving total sum
Of $75O,OOO,OOO. The total losses
due to erroneous payments, forgeries,
or errors Of any sort were 1888. In
addition to this 100000 pieces of
registered mail were handled with
only an immaterial charge Of loss,
due to carelessness or other individ-
ual fault.
That's all in the days work, but
the record is the joint property Of
thousands of railway mail clerks,
Office clerks and letter carriers, and
is a convincing testimonial to the
high average of honesty and efacien-
cy that obtains in the personnel
of the service, and which often lacks
due consideration because it is only
the ordinary and expected virtue

LEADS IN DECEMBER

Notwithstanding the depressed
business conditions Of 1914 it is a
pleasure to know that one Of our
business institutions adopted a
motto, during that time, Of Don't
wait for your ship to come in, but
GO OUT AND MEET IT,, for the
Eastern and Central Kentucky Cen
eral Agency Of the State Mutual
Life Assurance Co., of Massachu-
sets, represented in this city by
General Agent H. @. Hoffman, paid
for more life insurance during 1914
than during any year Of his twelve
years connection with that company.
In personal production Mr.. Hoffman
stood FIRST in the United States
among all of the company's General,

throughout the United States for
December always the month in
which ALL representatives put forth

the year; while Special Agent r. L.
Coleman, Of that Office, for the year
stood FOURTH in personal solicit
i ing among the soliciting agents.
1t was quite notable "stunt" that
Mr.. Hoffman "pulled off" during De-
cember, notwithstanding his duties
were principally taken up by his
General Agency duties, which is best
described in an article we quote
from the Eastern Underwater,
New York insurance publication:
"The State Mutual Life, of Wor-
chester, has general agent in Mt.
Sterling, KY, town of 1000 popu-
latlon, whose work shows the value
of setting a mark at which to shoot.
Although Mr.. Hoffman is kept
pretty busy with the duties Of a gen.
eral agent he decided on November
30 last that he would try personally
to write one application a day, in
Guiding Sundays, during the month
of December. He so wrote to Edgar
G. Fowler, the Company's Superin-
tendent of Agencies.
