Efficiency is nothing but combination of
cleanliness, orderliness, good health and plain
old-fashoned hard work.
The best work is done by bosses who know
good work when they see it.
Human life is so short that we must learn
from the experiences. of others as well as our
own.

Current oratory and publicity have worked
to WEAKNESS two words which once were strong
and meanngful-"o Outstanding" and worth
while" The first is just now running neck and
neck with Splendid" and the second has dis
tanced half a dozen Worthwhile" words

DR.. Charles H. Mayo of Rochester is urging
the continuation of the federal maternity and in
fancy aid to the states by the government, stat
ing that this aid has been the means of saving
the lives of hundreds of mothers. We assume
DR.. Mayo knows whereof he speaks rather better
than does Senator Reed and others of his ilk
who have so wildly opposed this continuation. 1t
was his haste to vote against this measure which
caused the man Reed to rush collarless from bar
bershop to Senate chamber

One of our exchanges says merchant who
owned two stores in two small villages tried an
experiment He put bargain counter in each
of the stores, containing the same articles at
exactly the same price. In the newspaper of one
village he advertised his special counter. In the
paper of the other town he did not advertise and
sold 1888 worth of goods In the store where he
did advertise he sold goods amounting to $7,123.
In commenting the result of his experiment
the merchant says: "People who got the paper
with my advertisement in would pass one of my
stores and drive four miles to the other one for
what they could have gotten at the same price
at their DOORS"
The Gazette editor is not much for general
izing and sentimentaizing, but we always did sort
of like the idea expressed in this bit of jingle
which has recently had revival and is again
making the rounds of the public press:
If you and Just you and L
Should laugh instead of worry;
If should grow-just you and L
Kinder and sweeter hearted,
Perhaps in some near by and by
A good time might get started
Then what happy world 'twould be
For you and me-for you and mel"

Redwood Falls needs some new houses and
needs them sudden. Every day there comes not
one but several inquiries for homes by people who
would gladly come here to live if suitable houses
or apartments could be found. No greater SER
vice could be done for the town now than that
some erpsons groups of persons shall sense this
need and meet it by the erection of reasonably
priced houses for either rental or sale. A city
can be no bigger and better than its homes and
the first requirement of home is that it shall
have some place in which to house itself.

After the Gazette editor had slid across the
slithery road into ditch, wrapping three strands
of barbed wire about her car as she slid, it was
real comfort for her to read the following
from the Cedar County (Neb.) News end to learn
that all of her are not so untrustworthy.
The conception has long
been that women are abomnable auto
mobile drivers. The time was when
mere man could say that tie-up in
the Sunday stream of traffic was caused
by woman driver that the chances
were 80 in 100 that if ones wife took
the car out for a tea party, it would
come back minus fender. But figures
don't show that to be the truth. Women
are not terrible drivers and the beauty
whose highpowered sport model breaks
all speed laws and the bones OF Unwary
pedestrians and whose devastating
charm disarms the motorcycle cop is
rarely met with except on the screen
The result of national survey, based
on the law of averages and proportions
shows that there three female policy
holGers in automobile accidents for every
10 male pocyhoders. Startling it
may be, the ratio was 1 to 10. From
Maine to California reports which
confirmed these figures. For example,
Commissioner B. R. Marshall of Pitts
burg said that in his nine years
perience as head of the traffic depart
ment they had not fatality where
woman was driving the automobile.
