question that modern business efIicien-

produced excellent results. But-and
here's the rub--too often would-be ef-
ticiency experts have been mere bun

business men have utilized the services
of this type of expert, who talks a

The result was the discovery of the
new efficiency" which operates alike
for the benefit of the employer and

efficiency consists In the employers do

they hire, surrounding them in their
places of employment with such con-

make their hours OF labor pleasure

create and sustain a general feeling of
mutual interest and good will among
everybody concerned, from heads OF
concerns to the humblest worker. The
result has been in such places as the
lauduble endeavor has been carried out
intelligently that the employees have
met the advances fully half way. and
an increased degree Of efficiency has
been obtained which could not have
been procured in any other manner

One of the most serious questions
now confronting loggers in this vicini-

ducts. AS al rule there has been an
abundance of snow before January,
but this winter there has been but
very little, barely enough to afford
sleighing at all. The main roads are
now worn down so close to the sand
that it is almost impossible to do any

We have been in business

Take advantage Of our
