Egg Business Good
Before a year had passed the
egg business was yielding some
$500 a week profit. Of this
sum, Mr.. Jones gave Ezra 500
a week and pocketed the rest.
He threw out his chest and told
his friends very proudly of the
sideline he had discovered that
was giving him $4,000 a year
profit.
But alas! The printing busi-
ness began to go into the red
about six months ago. One of
Jones' biggest accounts moved
over to another printer. Old
Man Depression was riding
high, and Jones decided to call
in an efficiency expert.
The expert began to cut
salaries left and right. He
fired plenty of people. He did
everything, n fact, except help
the business And when he
was through he asked Mr..
Jones if there was anything
else he could do. The printer
considered the matter for a
moment and then nodded.
Efficiency Plan
II have a chicken farm" he
asserted, that is now earning
more money than my printing
shop. Perhaps it isn't being
run correctly. and we can
squeeze more money from it.
Suppose you run up and see
Ezra"
So up to the farm went the
efficiency expert. When he
learned that Ezra wasn't keep
ing any records, he was horri-
fled.
What do, you call this?" he
roared. Not a record in the
place? What do you think Mr..
Jones is-a fool? From now
on you'll keep an account of
every egg you sell.
Il want everything put down.
And I want Mr.. Jones to have
a complete report every week. I"
Ezra nodded sadly and went
to work on his records. He
scratched his head and he
pondered. He pondered and he
scratched his head. He worked
like the very devil.
Three months later Jones was
forced to close up his profit

Who They Dislike
"A little over a week ago this
column instituted the first con-
test it has held in a long time.
The idea was lifted from
Simon and Shuster's publica-
ton, "The Book Of Dilemmas,"
and went as follows:
Wandering about on a
trackleSS desert are Clara Bow,
Bishop Manning, AL Capone,
Amos n Andy, Aimee Semple
Mcpherson, Gene Tunney, Lind
bergh, Freud, Henry Ford, the
Prince of Wales, Byrd, Andrew
Volstead, MuSsolini, Earl Car
roll, Rudy Vallee and Herbert
Hoover.
"You are so fortunate as to
have four of them (and only
four) remain on the desert for.
ever. Which four would you
choose?"
asked my readers to take
the same list and make their
four choices, adding at the
same time 30 words of explana.
ton why they would doom their
four to oblivion. Up to the
present writing, the results
have been highly interesting.
Although the contest is still
very young, almost 1000 replies
have already hit this desk. The
two most popular figures in
the entire list appear to be
Herbert Hoover and AL Capone.
I should say that, out Of every
hundred letters, ninety writer's
ask that these two gentlemen
be left on the desert forever.
Following right on their heels
are Andrew Volstead and Aimee
Mcpherson.
I mention this fact because it

LIEUT.. MORGAN VISITS
 HIS OLD HOME TOWN

Lieut.. Harry E. Morgan is a guest of his father-in-l John w. Troy, while the U. s. s. Swal- low is in port. Mrs. Morgan and little Joan Morgan and Mrs. Nor gan's sister, Mrs. Robert w. Ben- der have been guests of MT. Troy for two weeks and will remain here for two weeks more.
 Lieut.. Morgan was reared in Ju- neau. He graduated from the Juneau High School, and was ap- pointed to the U. s. Naval Acad- emy from this place. This is his first visit here since 1923, the year of his graduation into the U. S. Navy.
 Lieut.. Morgan is in the Aviation branch of the navy, temporarily de- tached, however, and serving as Executive Officer on the U. s. s Swallow.
