Are You Marking Time or Killing 



Time? 



Many business nun u liu arc 

 complimenting themselves for 

 theii ability to "hold their 

 own" right now are destined 

 to be rudely awakened with a 

 realization that they have not 

 been marking time, but kill- 

 ing it. Marking time implies 

 action — action preparatory to 

 movement. 



It is hard to prepare if you do 

 not know what you are pre- 

 paring for. You cannot af- 

 ford to guess. The Brook- 



mire Kcunumic Strvice gives 

 you detinite, accurate, forward 

 advice ; our Consultation De- 

 partment affords you the ad- 

 vantages of having your indi- 

 vidual problems individually 

 analyzed and discussed. 



The cost of the complete serv- 

 ice is within the means of 

 even the most modest enter- 

 prises — a few cents a day.

SAW AND PLANING HILLS AT SULLIGENT. ALA. 



01' railway from Joplin, Mo., to Helena, Ark., suspended operations in toto 

 on August 1, when all tralDB were discontinued. There were many lum- 

 bermen owning sawmills and tlmberlaiids along this line that are hard 

 hit by the suspension. Timber Is rendi-red inaccessible in many places 

 because of lack of service and plants are put out of commission for the 

 same reason. Failure of the company to raise a fuml of $150,000 to de- 

 fray operating costs for a period of three months is given as the reason 

 for the suspension.

 \ Gulf Railroad (.'ompany, owned by the Illinois Central system, to estab- 

 lish a rate of five and one-half cents per hundred pounds on logs movini:

 the two are one and the same when it comes to the malving of rates.
