Dear Mr.. O'Neill:
This is to confirm conversation
with you in your city on Tuesday re-
lative to your gravel requirements
for the coming year.
The Kentwood Gravel Company
feels that if any reduction is made in
roadbuilding material, you should be
the first to receive same. However,
we do not anticipate reducing our
present selling price, but in as much
as our business relations have beer
so pleasant, and payments so prompt
ly made, we are pleased to offer you
10 percent discount on all future bu-
siness, regardless of contract. In
other words, in case you should order
any material from us for your pre-
sent needs, you have our authority to
discount your bills 10 percent.
We hope to have continuation of
your business, and hope that this re-
duction will allow you to build a
greater mileage of roads during the
coming year.
Yours very truly,
GRAVEL COMPANY.

Was there ever a word more on the
public tongue than Efficiency" 1t
seems to be word that conversation
lists and writer's simply cannot do
without. and no wonder, when one
little combination OF ten letters can
mean so much, and cover so wide a
territory. Not long ago a newspaper
exchange printed the following at
tempt at definition and description,
which gives new viewpoints, and sets
forth some things that many of us
may have felt before, but knew not
how to express them as being part
of the all-enyeloping word that seems
to have become indispensable in the
writing and talking of English
What is efficiency?
1T is doing things, not wishing
you could do them, dreaming about
them or wondering if you can do
them.
at is the power to learn how
do things by doing them, as learning
sell goods by selling them.
at is knowing how to apply theory
to practice.
1T is the trick of turning defeat
into experience and using it to
achieve success.
ut is the ability to mass ones per-
sonality at any given time or place,
it is skill in quick mobilization Of
ones resources.
1T is making everything that is
past minister to ,tno future.
1T is the elimination OF the three
microbes Of weakness-regret, worry
and fear.
ut is self-rcliance, clothed with
modesty.
ut is persistence plus politeness.
ut is alertness, presence of mind,
readiness TO adjust ones self to the
unexpected.
1T is sacrificing personal feelings
to the will to win.
1T is the measure of a man, the
real size o. his soul.
ut is the ability to use ones pas
sions, likes, dislikes, habits, expert
ence, education. mind, body and heart
and not to be used by these things.
ut is self-mastery, concentration
vision and common sense.
1T is the sum total Of all that is
in a man."-St. Augustine Record.

In the words of the four wise men /!
Leave it to the guy what knows.
That kind benefactor who has sent us
the mosquito-hawk (sicogus boga-
gus) should step up and introduce
himself. We positively would stand
for the passing of the hot" from
such a benevolent individual. As an
: antidote for that pest, light-an-sting,
the generous gods had the mosquito
hawk made to order. After years of
/ high-class maneuvering they turned
out the first real success-a natural
enemy. The smudge and the sprayer
and the dope have their places in the
household. They only cripple and
debilitate and make enemies who will
lay for revenge. But the mosquito
hawk! Turn 'em loose! They real
ly do eat EN- alive. All they want is
to be showed" and "leave it t. me. 3"
A million mosquito-hawks working
two hours day would clear the
whole state in thirty minutes and
have plenty of time left to help with
the breakfast dishes. And all they
want is to be Showed"
Well, We'll have little hay money
to spend anyway.

Dave Hill is back home after two
months of fishing down-the-bay. He
brought all the fishing tackle and
camping outfit with him. He also
brought a lock of the girls golden
tinted hair which is, as every fellow
who ever had a girl knows, getting
pretty near to the point of buyin' the

back for good-that is, if she doesn't

Weakness Abroad Causes
L0Uer Cotton Averages

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-The market
turned weak today from the open
Ing. losing the greater part OF the
30 to 45 points advance OF yester-
day before the end OF the forenoon
This was almost entirely due to the
Liverpool market turning unexpect-
edly weak, with private advices re-
porting a great deal OF reselling there
for Manchester accounts. As the
strength in the Liverpool market and
the good trade reports from Man
chester on the largely increased busi-
ness put through there Tuesday and
Wednesday for China had been the
principal basis for our good upturn
or yesterday, It was only natural thai
prices here should go of today in
following Liverpoors fresh break.
Some OF the private Liverpool cables
limited at some financial difficulties
among several OF the mills at Man
chester.
Some OF the Liverpool houses which
had been good buyers here yestsr-
day turned good sellers from the
opening and with fresh liauidating
orders coming in from Wall Street
and Southern interests, the marke
turned weak from the opening. Those
prices showed declines ranging from
~ to Is points from yesterdays clos
ing and were the highest of the day
Lnere was further decline during
tne course Of the morning and early
AFTERNOON which brought the mar
ket down 40 to IS points from yes
terday's closing. On this break. jan
uary contracts went back to about
!sS cents. while March sold at about
Is.2o; May. 1918: July, 1920 and
october of the new crop at 1910.
MOST or these low prices were made
oy liquidation OF local traders who
had been among the most promi- =
nent buyers on yesterdays advance.
